Society & Culture - 6 September 2007

While the question is a simple one, actually the real question is to find a way to do so without hurting another person's feelings, or make them think that the TV program I'm watching is more important than they are or what they have to say?

I would like to be able to find a way to come across that the TV program doesn't matter that much to me, but at the same time trying to improve their terrible timing.

Is there something that I could do subliminally? Is there a way I can get rid of them without hurting their feelings? On the phone, it's easy enough, as all I have to say is that I have someone on the other line. But that's not a lie I can get away with when we are in the same room.

What can I do? I'm going nuts with frustration and I'm sick and tired of missing usually the climatic parts of a tv program or movie.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.

The first is about how we relate to God, for God is love from within. The second is about romantic love of others, when I first saw my husband I knew him from before even though we had never met.

And explain your answer, if you are so inclined.

Is it the same as saying "A bet is only as good as the object on which you're betting"?

I have a coworker, about 42ish) who has full custody of his 13 yr old daughter. Mother signed over her rights. Here's the problem. He's a born-again (LMAO...choke on your halo, you hypocrit), so he's renounced sex until marriage. The thing is, he's said to another coworker, " I thought about (daughter's friend) last night." Don't know why or how. Also, he told his daughter that they were going to the coast. His daughter asked if she could bring a friend along, and he said, "yeah, that's why we're going." Another time, he and this same coworker went to the river. The guy brought his daughter along, as he does everywhere he goes. She sat on his lap. After a while, she got up, took the cup of water she had, and splashed it all over his face. No apparent good reason. She didn't laugh, and he worridly asked, "why'd you do that?" Do you think I need to contact the priest? Well...as long as he's not Catholic...just kidding...or maybe not.

You are looking at what some people believe is a miracle.

Two days after the disaster, a construction worker found several perfectly formed crosses planted upright in a
pit in the rubble of the heavily damaged 6 World Trade Center.

The large, cross-shaped metal beams just happened to fall that way when one of the towers collapsed. An FBI chaplain who has spent days at ground zero says he has not seen anything like it on the vast site. As word of the find has spread at ground zero, exhausted and emotionally overwhelmed rescue workers have
been flocking to the site to pray and meditate.

"People have a very emotional reaction when they see it," says the Rev. Carl Bassett, an FBI chaplain. "They are amazed to see something like that in all the disarray. There's no symmetry to anything down there, except those crosses."

I know some religions believe that if you are not one of them, you got a one way ticket to hell, such as Catholics.
Other religions like Buddhism believe that anyone can reach nirvana, regardless of religion.
So what do you guys think is right? And please don't let your religion influence you, just say what YOU think is right.

Because if you get morality from your deity, and you evaluate your deity based on that morality, isn't that circular reasoning? If you have no innate sense of ethics separate from God, how do you know God is the good one and Satan is the bad one, or which one is which?

I believe that Bush was elected primarily because he claimed to be a born-again Christian. He therefore shored up the Republican nomination, as the far-right wing, conservative, fundamentalist Christians seem to control the Republican party. In addition, I feel because so much of the country claim to be Christian, and because so much of the country was tired of Clinton's lack of integrity, Bush was elected president....as an anti-Clinton, moral, born-again.

So, have we learned our lesson on what happens when we elect a politician based on his perceived religious.moral status, rather than on his intellect?

So, fundamentalists, in the next election, will you look past the candidates perceived religious status, and focus on his intellect, ideas, and ability to lead?

Would you vote for a candidate that shared all of your governing ideas, etc...even if he were say, an atheist?

How many believe :
Its better to live good honest life believing in God and finding out God doesn´t exist, than to live dangeriouly, on the edge and not believing in God and finding out he does exist?

Personally, because I spent four years as a correctional officer, I would choose the honest life believing in God. Prison life just ain´t for me.

And finally, yes, the question of full chimeras or uplifted animals is still hypothetical, (even if the embryonic research IS NOT) but if we can create the embryo, then really, the only thing stopping us from growing a full human-animal hybrid is essentially the law and ethical considerations. So again, what kind of rights should such an individual have, cause if we can do it, sure as nuts somebody, somewhere is going to break the laws around genetic tampering with humans and grow some mutants.
