Hi,

I am a flight attendant... the other day while working a short 2 hours trip, one of our passengers asked me, in a rather rude way, if there was nothing I could do to make the 3 or 4-years old kid behind him stop crying.
I told him that was more of his parents's jobs (the boy was travelling with both parents and they BOTH were listening to their iPods) .... finally I discretely told the mother that her boy was disturbing the other passengers and could she please try something to quiet him down. She looked at me with those evil eyes meaning "how do YOU dare telling me how I should raise my child!¨.... and she did nothing....

Now, what should I have done? (If anything) ... Normally I never say anything because I don't want to interfere but maybe I'm wrong.

I was told the answer by one of the wise men of this earth and will post it later...I just want to hear what everybody has to say. (some of the most profound questions are also the simplest...if you can see spiritually)

As in being able to use the spiritual counterparts of the physical senses, and/or sensing angels presences?

You are willing to convert to Moronism? I encountered a couple of missionary elders yesterday as I was walking home from (summer) school. At the end of our brief encounter, I was left with the impression that these missionaries only gave me "the time of day" if I was willing to convert to their religion because as soon a told them that I am perfectly fine with my Catholic beliefs and have no plans to convert to another religion, they gave me a dirty look and snickered something as they turned around and left. Are missionary elders like this? Is this the way they are taught o behave? I thought were rather rude.

Expressing disagreement, or voicing concern, or even noting disapproval are different from speaking hatred. Sometimes the posts here in Yahoo Answers R&S are hateful. What happens for you when you see hate enacted? And how do you work with your feelings that come up?

I'm tired about the same old sins that get picked on over and over these days.

So let's pick on a new one!

God said not to covet your neighbor's possessions. How about all those covetous people out there!?

You know what? Heck I'm guilty of that one... :(

if someone say, for example, rainbow background only, or lesbians only, or gay men only why do other people open the question and answer it.

P.S. I don't mind if people without rainbow backgrounds answer the question i just wanted to prove a point.

Even if you didn't answer the question you opened it.

Haven't the Catholics here been saying over and over, on a daily basis, that the Catholic Church is the one true Church, founded by Christ?

Did the Protestants think we just made that up? Didn't they realize that what we were saying was our Church's teaching?

So why are the Protestants so surprised at the recent Papal statement, which only reiterates what already was the Church's stance?

I honestly don't get the current uproar here at R&S. It's the same thing Catholics here have been saying every day.

Anyone care to explain why this is such a surprise to some of you here?

I heard it on the radio, that the presidential candiates are being asked to sit together on a round table, and being asked to discuss the Gay agenda? What do you think they will debate? What issues for us GLBT folks would be from interest that these candidates will need to solve to become the next President of the USA?

My sister has a pen pal on Yahoo , and he happened to have a young looking avatar. Well, some high school kids asked him to join in their "wolf pack" to report and delete other people's accounts. (They were doing it "just for fun")

What is their common denominator? They all seemed to be on level 1 or level 2 and not care if they were deleted; cause they didn't have many points to lose. They could simply sign back up under another name.

So, it seems if we could get Yahoo to not allow anyone in level 1 or 2 to report violations, then we could eliminate a lot of problems.

PS: anyone can have two accounts, so some "just mean" folks can sign up an extra account to be used for reporting others, get 100 points and report everyone the don't like, then if that person loses that account, she or he can simply sign up under a different name and do it again. (The person would not lose their main account, just the account they were using to hurt other people.)

Exsist before life came to be????

And I am sure you believe some life microrganism came alive on earth, then when did that happen? and when did DNA come to be? science cannot answer this with accuracy....

Not to sound trivial but the design of a human body is unique
We could of been born with tiny heads one eye, no hair, but we were created in the image of GOD because evolution would not been able to create the uniqueness of a human being, and for all I know Life on other planets might be created by Satan and that is why they look like the accounts given to people who witnessed them at Roswell..
We do not know everything about the Universe and the origin of life..But GOD gives us a Bible to be our guide how to live on this planet in Goodness and in hope that Satan and evil will be wiped away..You say I want the world to end..NOT TRUE I believe myself and other Christians want the evil that we live with to end..Child killings, wars, disease etc...
Thoughts?

I was watching a programme today that said that a lady married the son of Osama Bin Laden (he doesn't believe that what his father does it right and has not seen his father for years)!!!! What I'm trying to get at is...does the sins of the father really matter. If a person's direct family member was a criminal would it bother you, or would you end it ??

Good to see that the Pakistan forces are ruthless. It's about time that our police took the same stance.

Why won't our police be as ruthless in serving justice in hte UK?

Take the question at face value.

I realize that many of you will say "morals don't come from the Bible." In this case, please try to explain why Christians claim slavery is immoral if it is not expressly stated in the Bible.

In Divine texts God refers to himself in the most majestic terms.

Just like in some ancient kingdoms the courts would refer to the King in the plural sense to show honor and majesty.

THIS is exactly why the words in Aramaic and Arabic (maybe also Hebrew) have words which refer to God in the Absolute single tense – they are impossible to be used in the plural sense but when they are TRANSLATED, to show their majestic meaning in the original language, they are made into WE and US .

This is an example of the EXTREME danger when Revealed books are translated and re-translated without keeping the original Aramaic or Arabic.

David Vitter of Louisiana was a habitué of a D.C. prostitute and is a big-time sanctity-of-marriage sort...How many more examples—beyond politicians like Gingrich, Livingston, Giuliani, and Limbaugh; beyond clergy like Jim Bakker and Ted Haggard—do conservative Christians need before they wake up to the truth: that their leaders' pledges of fealty to the concept of "traditional marriage" are meaningless? And that these leaders, as a body, are worthless, only out for themselves?http://commonsense.ourfuture.org/night_hunter?tx=3
