Mercep Bencsch is a man who encounters the party at outllandish moments each with different roles. In the end he's both a music player and a shopkeeper in Plotnik. Before the party's departure he was actually living in Accretion City, and his real name was Bradley Gregg. He was a famous man; however he fell at a prize ceremony, received brain damaged, and began to think he was Mike Jitlov. He was later locked in a nanoreactor and placed in suspended animation bofore Plotnik fell and woke up 300,000 years later in the present day Christian era, still thinking he was Mike Jitlov.

We are going to pride in Seattle this weekend and want to take my partner's little brothers, they are 7 year old twins. They recognize our relationship and dont really think about it much because she is their sister and they just accept whatever she says. Pride is always somewhat family oriented, and people bring kids all the time. The parade is televised so they are very strict in enforcing clothing and conduct rules.
What pro's and con's do you see to taking children to a pride celebration? I feel like at this point they may ask some questions for sure, but i'd rather them be curious now than not be exposed to it and turn out to be homophobic and vile 10 years down the road....

The church has wronged in the past.

Child molestation cases, the Spanish Inquisition to name the worst to.

But why is it many liberals(I can't believe I used that word since I consider myself one) and evangelicals bash the Catholic Church?

The Catholic Church is against the death penalty and abortion, all life is sacred.

The Catholic Church believes the acts of homosexuality a sin, not the people, unlike some Christian denominations.

So why is it, particularly on here, the Catholic Church's failings are popular and its good points are overlooked.

What will the federal government do?

Will they attack him with F-117 or F-22s and use the nuclear weapon to get rid of him because he's threatening the existence of the United States?

Or what? Asking him to join the Republicans and telling him that the Democrats are jerks who support homosexuals & abortion?

I have just been offered a job I really liked the look of, trouble is the salary on advert was £14,991 - 18,882 (London). And they've offered me the bottom and as a recent graduate I just can't afford to live on that. Also they don't want to me start until Sep due to CRBchecks but I'd rather I started once these were done (3-6 weeks).

I feel terribly guilty as at the beginning of the phonecall (before salary and starting date where mentioned) I sounded really into the job and hate letting people down.

I want to compose an email to them (as I feel it hard to stick to what I mean on the phone) what should I say?

Also if I asked for a new salary offer then what do I do if they phone me up with one that still isn't enough? (I really need the 17k just to live - no fancy luxuries included).

why do we associate the word hell with the word down and the word heaven with the word high? do people really believe there is hell below us? how far below? is it in the earth? if not, then isn't it just as likely that hell is somewhere in the heavens as well? so when we look into the sky, is it safe to say, "somewhere up there, satan is looking down at us."?

if you tell a person that you are going to do something but you dont do it due to unseen circumstances, and theres no way of letting the person know that you couldnt do it, should you still say sorry to the person?

.....as do those that crucify Him today?
Peter knew that..and he wasn't afraid to TELL them that either.
"Now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Christ would suffer. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. For Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you. Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from among his people." Acts 3:17-21

Condeleza Rice (secratary of defense), Colin Powell (former secratary of defense), Thurgood Marshall (former supreme court justice and great lawyer), Cornell West (Princeton professor), Oprah Winfrey (Talk show host) , Barack Obama (US senator), Kwame Kilpatrick (Youngest mayor ever of a large city Detroit), Iyanla Vinsant (Self help guru and arthur)

If this myth is sooo true how did all of these people get to there stature. There are many more examples of people with ethnic names I could have given but these few totally proves my point. Besides you should not want to be employed by people who judge you for your name because they are very small minded.

To do so safely by just taking Gaza one step at a time & just taking Hamas captive?

Or should they just fight Hamas from across border while this threatens innocent Gaza people. Since Hamas fights from behind innocent women too often (according to what I read Abbas say).

The Bible and other religious texts were written so long ago that as user manuals (guidance codes) they must be out of date. I mean our policies and procedures at work get re-written almost daily as they respond to the changing environment, and whilst I believe that the general prinicpals still hold good, some of the specifics are so outdated that they no longer apply and only cause confusion to bigots.

So how about some of us get together and issue a fully revised version.

My Grandfather and one of my daughters are not Christian. Actually, my daughter is only 4, so she has time still.

Anyway, it makes me uncomfortable knowing they will burn in h**ll if they were taken home today, but it is what it is.
