You put your hand over your mouth to cover the blast. a significant amount of sputum is caught in your hand. A tissue in the pocket of your work pants would appear to be the best option but it's difficult to reach without losing control of the vehicle, or spoiling your work pants... What do you do?

Religion vs. Intellect seems to play a huge part in the dumbing down of the US. Does the US have anymore credibility left to lose?

Here is what you have to do.

Say a cause of choices that is not random, determined, or acausual, and is free will. Best answer gets 10 points!

Let's first describe how TRUE free will works...

Remember the game show Let's Make a Deal?

You NEVER KNOW what's behind the doors. There might be a new car, or there might be 200 cans of cat food. Monte Hall always gives you the option... keep what you have, or trade for one of the doors. You're not coerced. The choice is entirely your own.

Now here is the Christian god's "free will"...

God TELLS YOU that behind door #1 is a great prize (heaven), and behind door number #2 is eternal torment (hell.) He SUGGESTS you choose door number one, but you are given the option to choose door number 2 if you prefer burning. You can opt to not choose either door, but only temporarily, because before you leave the studio you'll be forced to choose door #2 anyway.

Now, what have we learned? We've learned that god's free will isn't actually free will at all, it's COERCION because the ONLY options you're given are eternal pleasure, or eternal pain.

You're never allowed to not play.

I am from Northern Louisiana and people always say that I look as if I am "black creole." Now, I am by no means light skinned, but people have always asked me that. From my understanding, I thought that a creole person was light with wavy hair etc and most of these people reside in Southern Louisiana. So, my question is, what exactly is a black creole. I have searched all of the net and still have not been able to find answers to this. All opinions are welcomed.

Thanks

Personally I'm betting on Buddha because he's got that laid back attitude and those ancient Indians already knew a great deal about fighting.

we are letting the youth generation grow up with no respect (though not my kids) for anything, no empathy for others and definatly no respect for the elderly that won their freedom!!

we have made political correctness our new bible, which the youth of today are using against us, to attain dominance. people are frightend to approach groups of youths outside their homes for fear of reproach by the police or having their heads kicked in, or worse, as we have seen of late.

the trouble stems from parents, let me give you an example:
while in the corner shop the other day, a young lad was pretending to steal stuff from the shelves, which the owner saw as being a distraction for his friends to actually steal stuff, so he asked the youth to leave, the youth promptly told the owner to F' off, then started to kick the stands by the door, the owner grabbed the lad and pushed him out of the door. A few minutes later a woman came in screaming that he shouln't have touched her son!

"For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire" (2 Pet 2:20-22 KJV)

Peace

14 August is the Independence day of my dear beloved country of many mountains and fountains, Pakistan. It was the day when in 1947 Muslims of the sub continent snatched their free life from the cruel clutches of the British and Hindu.

From that day onwards we have faced battle fore fronts and external pressure, but we kept ourselves as a Nation and a Nation we are and a Nation way stand. This independence day we solute our martyrs and pray for the healthy, wealthy and prosperous future.

so, whats ur independence day resolution?

It seems that people just want to believe. I mean, really, would we still have religion today if it didn't promise in afterlife? Logically there's no reason to think we go to some magical place when we die.

I dont want to undermine anyone elses beliefs but i find it(Christianity) to mythical for me to buy it, maybe i'm wrong. but i refuse to say i believe in god just becuz im scared of the consquences if there is one. Many people ask me how i retain hope when i die without believing in God. I dont think going blank when u die would be bad, it scared me when i was younger but that was just the thought of me never being able to see a family member that passed. Heaven sounds great but so does the tooth fairy, i know thats a little unfair but its just the way i feel.

Well, a couple of my friends found a shapeshifter in control of spirit animals, and when I went out to where he lived, I could feel what was happening, even if it wasn't visible. I'm going into the mountains once it cools down here, and I've heard of attacks there, and I don't know if it's related or not, but what kind of equipment should I carry with me?

If you're going to bother yourself with a stupid answer, or to come in here and suggest I see a doctor or some bullshit like that, don't bother even posting an answer. I'm being highly serious about this.

SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY.
