Did I miss anything?

Is this why it seems so silly when people tell me I should "just believe/have faith"? Like I can go back and change the experiences which have defined my life because they tell me to...

And why do the people who repeat what they heard someone else say, or repeat what they read, fail to recognize that they are just repeating someone else's views?

I will be going for a 12 days visit to an international country. I am dating this person since 3 months (I am not in love with him, and he is - we are just seeing how things go) who said I had to give him my number upon reaching there. I want to see this break as a real vacation to relax with peace of mind, and not have someone call me all days to chat or check on me.

What exactly can I say to him, so he gets the message without being hurt?

I read this news on my yahoo page, what do you think of the law trying to be passed and do you think it should be used in every city? It is not a racist issue because thousands of young people white, chicano, asian and black have adopted this style considered hip hop culture or gangster style ect.
Read it and let me know your views on it.
And don't hate!

I've wondered this too for awhile. Why can't we have religious education in public schools? No one's discriminating; you wouldn't HAVE to take the classes. If it's an issue of not everyone wanting theology teachers paid out of their tax money, this is what I propose.

Some communities are a lot more religious than others. Some communities couldn't really care less whether there's a God or not. Some are predominantly Jewish, some Catholic, some Baptist, some... you get the picture. Therefore, I think each school district should have a vote: do you want religion classes to be covered by our school's budget, and if so, classes in which religion(s)? If voted no, that school could carry on as usual. If voted yes, that community could have the extra classes. I do understand that there would be an issue with standardizing curricula for classes in various religions, but we did it in every other subject. Public schools are supposed to work for the people, not vice versa.

Ok, I've been attacked verbally and physically on this question, when I'm asked, I say no. Here's why, I did go to church for a while and did engage in prayer at every meal and before rest. While a believer, I got diebetes, and a stutter which cost me many of my friends, had many jobs denied to me, and seemed to go broke money wise. Once I stopped praying, the exact opposite occured, i still speak foul of tongue and have diebetes, but my health with it has improved. I have seen a little kid get shot for no reason in Philly during a gang battle, and I know that family prayed every damned day! Most of the greatest wars were fought over Religion and God, WWII and the Jewish irradication, Crusades, because it was "misinterpreted" "Thou shalt not kill... other Christians" said the church, and millions died for that one. And if God loves all his children, why will he send them to hell for all Eternity for one mistake? Because he didn't repent although he feels bad? Makes no sense, why belive

This person has become a very serious and involved Christian since I last talked with them. I'm not sure how to take the comment. I thought it meant sympathy for Israel but someone told me they took it the opposite way. What would you think?

I am going on my fourth language now and I've noticed that with all of them, once you know over a 1000 basic words you can usually converse at a basic level. Around 3000 and your at
a mid-high conversational level but still no where near fluent yet.
My estimation for near fluency would be at least 10,000 to 15,000 words.
What do you think?

If God will forgive all, and those forgiven ones will go to heaven...why bother being honest and true and faithful when all you have to do is ask for forgiveness at the end of it all??

It seems like unless you qualify for public assistance or are extremely rich, after school programs, sports and positive outlets and much needed after school "daycare" are hard to afford. They are over priced and are time limited ( at least in my area they are ) I'm frustrated and would like to know your experiences on this issue.
