I am at my wits end with all these parents who say that their " Little Johnny's" are either ADD or AHADor ADHD, what ever! Every child in America is a "Special Needs" child. The lack of parenting skills is unbelievable. My Little Johnny can't set still in class, what a load!! My Little Johnny can't concentrate. My Father had a fix for that one too. POW, can yeah concentrate now? When I came up a parent would have been embarrased to admit that their child was less than perfect. Now the parents all line up so that there child can ride the"Little Yella Bus" Am I crazy here? Do you agree that the parents just don't want to face up to their responsibilitys and would rather medicate the child? AArrgghhhh, I'm losing my mind here. Tell me, am I wrong in my thinking? I realize that some child are "special needs", and God bless them. But the doctors are lined up with their prescription pads and the Moms are standing line while the children run rampant. What is going to happen when these kids

People say they chose their religion on their own, but how many of them had "parental guidance" and were taught about it from birth?

I was a Christian for 21 years, and I didn't think I was brainwashed either. Once I snapped out of it like being awoken from hypnotism, I realized, holy crap I WAS. So how can you know if you are brainwashed when you are still under the spell?

akha-hill.com ( akhahill.awardspace.com ) is a non profit site I have set up for my wifes people here in Thailand. The Akha are at the bottom of the social economic scale having fled the never ending War of the North (Burma) Most have no ID cards, land paper or education. I have 3 sites up and running with 6 more just about ready to go online. 1st-baan-of-silver.awardspace.com (still needs fine tuning) and XanDreams-FreeHosting.com are up and running. They will all be linked to gether when the other 6 are up. Siam-Akha.com, This-is-ChiangMai.com for trekking etc

I know this sounds stupid, but I'm just wondering... My house was built during World War II, and I had alot of family die of old age, and some cancer. Does that mean their spirits are in heaven or still in the house? Thank you.

But that story wasn't good enough?

And so they added another:
He rose into the sky and became a god.

C'mon, church folks -- your whole religion is based on two wild stories --

Question:
Is there even one scientist who will believe either story?

How should I approach things? I've been called that so many times because I tell people I follow leaders that lived ago such as Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab.

Even Muslims call me those wierd names.

I dont know why.

I've had some trouble at work these past few days. Most of the things I do are always accidents and mistakes; i would never disobey the orders and i know i need to be more careful, etc. (its a daycare type facility) the legal age to work there and take care of the kids is 18, however im not 18 yet and i told them i would be able to work at the office/front desk. i did that for a couple weeks or so (i started the beginning of July so this is my fourth week). My boss knows im better out there w/ the kids (bc sometimes i help them but most of the times im supposed to stay in the office). Last night I made a mistake on the card swiping machine etc and accidentally charged a customer the wrong amount. My boss saw that and freaked out and told me "OK no more office for you" i know she wasnt being sarcastic and i tihnk she was rather serious. and then she added "from now on i want you to stay w the kids... IF you work here that is" i dont want to get fired and i know they know the rules that

This life is not enough
to understand a woman.
What a thing she is!
No dictionary has enough words
to say about a woman
whatever she is.
Sometimes we think
the woman is just like the summer.
Both may scorch all living beings.
A woman by saying harsh
and burning words.
All get burning anger.
Sometimes we think
the woman is just like the winter.
Both make all living things tremble.
A woman does it by terrifying.
Both make fearful all alive
made of bones and meats.
Sometimes we think
the woman is just like the spring.
Both make beings full of feelings
and dreams of love.
A woman does it by her charming smile
being full in glory and in full flower.
Both make the new world of love
pleasures and dreams.
Sometimes we think
the woman is just like the rain.
Both bring greenery
or destruction to life.
A woman does it by
showering his sweat
in the right or wrong way.
Both are useful
and both are destructive.

AND LOT OF KINDS OF HER ARE THERE. SO WHAT SHE IS?

Do you know if this kind of persecution took place here? I am not asking about the Salem Witch trials which everybody knows about and which falls in a different category.
I am asking about people who died because they did not belong to the accepted religion.

Before you flame me, read what I have to say. I am not anti-gay at all. I have many gay frineds, and have had for years. But here is what I have to say - I think gay people think that the discrimination, rejection they are experiencing is because they are gay - and it isn't that at all. The discrimination, alienation, rejection is just the same as heterosexual people who are widows, who are single, who have a special needs child, who have a large number of children. It also depends on location. It's like society says you need to be married, look a certain way and have the right number of perfectly healthy good loooking kids, or you don't fit. I live in Wisconsin - a very closed society. If a gay person were to come here and live they would feel as rejected as I feel, but they would think it was because they are gay. I am a widower, I lost my wife last year. We knew hundreds of people and then my wife died, and then everyone completely avoided me, complete isolation

it's true that Jesus (peace to him) try to show an example of forgiviness, but do you want to know the secret behind it of why he may did this?

according to Islam. on the day of judgement when everyone is struggle on that day for all the sins he/she gains. on that day everyone will say myself and myself.

on that hard day of day of judgement, God will bring all those who been treated you unfairly (beat you unfairly, insult you unfairly, harmed you unfairly....etc) and will give you the permission to take some of their good points to yours for how much they were unfair to you. and if that person who was unfair to you have no good points to give it to you, then God will take away some of your sins and put it on that person.

so if someone slaped you in the face unfairly, you have guarantee his/her good points, so when you give him/her your other cheecks, you have guarantee double reward. so forgive as much as you can.

Firstly, for goodness sakes I'm not saying this has, or will occur, this is a HYPOTHETICAL question.

Hypothetical situation. you are out in public. and out of nowhere, from around a corner or whatever... something actively, clearly "Magickal" happens. I'm talking dramatic, hollywood turned real life, harry potter sorta crap here. just right in front of you, BAM. fireballs or magic bolts or force fields or whatever the hell you envision the best. I mean, like current day, CLEARLY "this is not technology, or "normal" at all" type things. clearly, unquestionably "supernatural" and manifestly, observably, go touch the broken glass type real. obviously not staged or a hoax or anything.

right in front of you.

and everyone else around you seeing it too.

how do you think you would handle it? would it change your beliefs? would you go insane? would you just not belive it was real, even though it happened right in front of you?

are going straight to hades. like no matter how good they are and how heroic and how selfless, no matter if they are babies and kids in third world countries who havent seen a church or had exposure to religion of the christian sort, all go right to the firery lake on a greased shoot. if that is the god all you christians love he kinda sounds like a jerk...no offense intended but thats just horrible. I see no reason to worship someone whos sole passion is himself and love of him, do you realize that when you look at it that way god comes off as not only vain but as somoene who will condemn a person to torture for not feeding his ego?

I tried to get a guy fired and 1 month later, I'm about to be terminated. I used to have fun playing guys for attn and now I was just played by a guy that I REALLY liked. I treated someone who liked me w/terrible disrespect and in the same manner, it's come back. Is Karma out to get me? Why can't I just lose my wallet or something for all the bad I've done?

By their tenants: there cannot be happiness but through god, and any other form is considered as a sin... which ends up in their cases to evolve into a behavior autopolice by which bitterness, bigotry and envy is the only outcome.
christians don´t you see? No sane one wants to be like you. Yu turn good people into zombies and bitter judges.
If you want to plead, fine, but don´t give me verses:
I say: NON SERVIAM!
