Society & Culture - 27 August 2007

I have been noticing helicopters fly by me every five minutes and it is really annoying; It seems that everytime I have a happy thought, one pops up
I've moved from L.A. to a small city in the Mohave desert, and for about a week and a half it was ok, no helicopters at all. I could actually relax for and take a deep breath; but that ended, after a week and a half helicopters started passing by again., every seven minutes, non stop, when I try to block the sound by putting headphones on and turning the music all the way up, the helicopter gets louder and closer, sometimes I have to go to the bathroom and turn on the shower to block the sound.
I am tired of running in the bathroom to hide every
seven minutes. I know I have done some bad stuff in the past,
caused millions if not billions worth of damage to old major internet service providers that are out of business now and foreign gov't systems, and started actually escalated an already going war between two countries, but WTF?

Do you sit for a while and let it dry?
Just pull up your pants and deal?
Pull 'em halfway up and waddle to the next nearest bathroom/stall?

If you are a normal human over about age 6, you are a living (supermaterial) soul having a body and mind and who is potentially being Spirit of God directed above and within. Rather than thinking you are a body with a soul; you a Spirit-led soul have a mind and body as tools here to use in your continual growth into eventual Paradise perfection.

Have any here had a sudden soul awareness of "Wow ! I am just like me ! Wonderful !" What were you doing or seeking when that was suddenly and unexpectedly given to you as a personal experience?

What would you do with that information?
Would you follow any paticular religion?
Would it make any difference to you> because most athesits here say they think GOD is some treacherous being. Would you worship GOD if you knew he exsisted? or would it even make a hill of beans to you that he is the creator?

We had a party of seven and the automatically added gratuity was set at 20%. The service was fantastic, but it was already at 20% so we didn't add anything. Normally the restaurant's auto gratuity is 15-18% in which case we would have added a little. Just curious about the viewpoint of those working in the service industry.

Since about a few months ago ive been seeing that number A LOT. I'll randomly glance at the clock and see it... ill wake up needing to go to the bathroom at night and see that number. people will start a chat with me at 11:11, etc. i see it everywhere!

i want to know if this number appears in the bible and where it does. because i've seen it way to many times for it to be a coincidence... im seeing it AT LEAST once a day.

thanks.

I read a story on the news this morning about a collage that installed a unisex bathroom in the dorm. I had to use the bathroom in a resterant in lower Manhatten last year. I followed the "restroom" sign downstares and the bathroom was one big bathroom with all stalls and no urinals and men and woman went together. It was not like u could lock the door while your in there it was all use at the same time. I thought it was really hot but I have some friends that have a problem with it. What do u think?

i've never killed anyone or done anything else for that matter to destroy a person's life simply because temptation got the best of me. now how can anyone, even god equate me having a bad thought every now and then, which doesn't affect anyone but me, with destroying someone else's life? and don't answer "when i die i can ask god." i'm asking the believers, because in order to believe this garble you have to understand on some level what you've been told about sin and everyone being sinners and you must be willing to accept that it is fair.

The thought of surveillance 24-7 for your whole life from cradle to grave everything being noted and chalked up and then even when you are dead no let up, it is really quite repulsive, what makes you find any of this an attractive proposition?

i recently used a well known travel website to search for a hotel room in my area. i noticed a very expensive 5 star was being advertised at ₤3 per room, so took advanatge of the offer and secured four rooms. i was directed to another website where i booked, and paid for these rooms, printing out a conformation in the process. I have now received a call from the company saying they would check availability and call me back. They called saying the hotel didn't have any rooms, but i had alraedy called the hotel, and they did have 4 rooms after all . After a long talk with them they said at best they would book another hotel, but I would have to pay the difference. Is this company not obliged to let me use the rooms i paid for, and have confirmation of booking and paying for? or at least booking another 5 star for the same price (it would not compare with the hotel i booked as it is the best in the area.) do i really have to suffer for someone else's mistake?

As in, that is so lame. I don't think the word gay should be a substitute for something lame. That makes the word derogatory. Any homosexuals care to comment?

I'm starting this to help clear up some questions I commonly find here. This may be somewhat long:

More people have abandoned their faith because of the problem of evil than for any other reason. It is certainly the greatest test of faith, the greatest temptation to unbelief. And it's not just an intellectual objection. We feel it. We live it. That's why the Book of Job is so arresting.

The problem can be stated very simply: If God is so good, why is his world so bad? If an all-good, all-wise, all-loving, all-just, and all-powerful God is running the show, why does he seem to be doing such a miserable job of it? Why do bad things happen to good people?

The unbeliever who asks that question is usually feeling resentment toward and rebellion against God, not just lacking evidence for his existence. C. S. Lewis recalls that as an atheist he "did not believe God existed. I was also very angry with him for not existing. I was also angry with him for having created the world."

It appears to me that the whole country is living off of credit cards, borrowed money, plus interest. Personally, I never use one, except to spread mastic on the back of tile to make a mural.
I honestly don't understand how alot of the younger generation survive these days. If they are being paid minimum wage, how on earth do they survive?
My rule of thumb is if you don't have the cash, then you don't need it.
People that are shopaholics, whats up with all the materialist values? Don't they realize that they will never get out of debt?
