Do you think they are users or hard workers. I have had experience of people accusing of using white men to get in country and get money. Is it mostly Flipina and Indonesian being picked on. Why?

In a world full of war and murder could this actually mean anything? Or that it makes an ounce of sense to say that someone can die "for" the sins of other people, although this death is followed by a hundred generations of people who continue to endure injustice and suffering and continue committing sins, and turning other people into innocent victims of it, as if this alleged "sacrifice" had never happened. This man died for you? So what? Has it ever protected you from accident or disease or crime? What measurable or detectable difference does it make?
Are we so feeble-minded that we can not encourage people to base their lives on values and principles, without the hope and fear of some alleged reward or punishment after death? Could we not teach morality far more effectively to future generations by basing it on compassion, sympathy and ethical debate, rather than on "revelation" with which no argument is possible?

To me being Filipino is being a mix of different cultures and ethnic backgrounds arising from the same country- my parents are from the Philippines and they consider themselves pure Filipino. I have very pale skin (from Mom), am slim but not extremely petite and my last name is not Spanish, but French. My Dad's own father and his own sisters look like a typical Italian or light Hispanic (one of them dyes her hair blonde and even looks natural in it) but they are very proud of being ILOCANO and speak the dialect well! My aunt even gets angry when she's not seen acknowledged as Pinay! To those who say they are, do you think it's even appropriate to say you are "Filipino with Chinese and Spanish blood" when really, being Filipino in itself is being a mix of different bloodlines anyway?

We moved into an older house dated in the 1950s, and my spouse and son have seen shadows in the basement and throughout the house. Our dog Monty and cat on occasion would act up and respond as if there was someone actually there. We are curious to know what this means?

Doesn't it always seems as if people who insist on their "faith" have never been taught how to think? Do they realise that they do not have just one single article of faith (e.g. in the resurrection), but that they are working on the assumption that the whole thing hangs together? Don't they really have to make dozens and then hundreds of interconnected "leaps of faith", until it becomes ridiculous, cosmically absurd? They have to have faith that there is a God, faith that he talked to the Jews, that he told them the truth, faith that people thousands of years ago knew what they were talking about, faith that wild prophets hallucinating under the desert sun were talked to by God, and that they passed his words on correctly, and that the people who wrote them down did so accurately. There is faith in the concepts of Messiah and Suffering Servant, faith in Mary Magdalene having gone to the right tomb.
Shouldn't we be atught to think before we're taught to believe?

the rejection is not based on logics, they just dont like us?
dont you think that trying to convince them that we are "normal" by saying that we love our partners so much and that we are not what they think we are is JUST PATHETIC?
WE are what WE ARE and that is all, take it or leave it!

So being in college has affected my diet quite a bit (Pizza, Nachos, Sodas, etc.). However, I have been slowly adding some fiber back into my diet (I have had a history of hemorrhoids).

Morning I eat something like Cheerios or a bran bar. I make sure to drink lots of water or juice (for the vitamin boost). Lunch I tend to have a salad (with water). Snack time I chow down an apple, or if I have a taste for salty things, any salty snack with some fiber. I'll be honest and say dinner time is where I begin to screw up, I eat meats, quesadillas, pizza, etc. (not all at once), but if I'm eating say a sandwich, I add tomatoes and such.

Anyway so the point is:

1). How long does fiber/water take to I guess soften my stool? I'm sure it's not instantenous.

2). Dumb question, but if I have say like salad (with tomatos, kidney beans, peas, etc.) and then have something like a chicken quesadilla, will my fiber benifits be nullified?

Whose got the "Primordal soup mix" recipe? I'd like to find out what else was in it.

Was it just rock dust and rainwater? Or did it have some monosodium galutamate too?

Did aliens pee in it or something?

Why is it called "soup". If you pee in some mud, would you call it "soup"?

What ingredients in today's soup were in the primordal soup?

Can we call it "primordal mud" from now on?

After all, nobody was there to declare it Mmm-mmm good.
