Society & Culture - 10 September 2007

I am looking for an audio system to learn Portuguese on. I am currently taking Portuguese 101 at Brigham Young University, but I also work landscaping 20 hours a week. I would like to buy a Portuguese course that I listen to on my iPod while I am working.

I would like to spend my money wisely, so I was wondering if any of you have ever learned Portuguese while in your car or through any other audio course?

Thanks much.

...if Adam and Eve were not dispelled from it after sinning by eating the forbidden fruit? Would Christ need to be crucified then?

How do you let them know you're fed up with their attitude without offending them?
One of my work colleagues saps my positive energy with his continual complaints, it's a beautiful day and he's moaning about it being nearly winter time.
Tomorrow it'll be something else!!
He's the kind of bloke who would find something wrong with paradise! I can't think how his 'missus' puts up with him, really I can't. Shall I just tell him outright, ***** you're a miserable malcontent, get over yourself? or shall I just continue to put up with him??

Today at work we celebrated a co-workers birthday with having free lunch from a local BBQ restaurant (his choice). Well, no one informed me that lunch was there and I couldn't smell it because I have some sinus/allergy problems that make my sniffer malfunction every now and then (and, yes, my co-workers know this). The only reason I found out lunch was there was a co-worker had just happened to come up and ask if I'd gotten any food from the back. When I went to get my lunch, the birthday co-worker was sitting a the table with three other co-workers and they were all having a little conversation going. When I got my food and was leaving, I waited for a pause in the conversation to say "Happy Birthday" before walking out. I got silence. I know I said "Happy Birthday" loud enough because I tend to be a very cheerful person when it comes to such celebrations. But I didn't even get a smile. And honestly, I found it quite rude.

Could they be doing this on purpose?

with religion or "religious" people?
That's not "our" problem.
False teachers are as much of a problem to "us" as they are to you.

I am certainly no expert on Catholicism, but all this business in Catholicism of kissing the priest's ring, confessing your sins to the priest, the priests being the only ones that can communicate with God, and charging Catholics outrageous fees for a non-Catholic spouse to become a 'true' Catholic seems to me like the priests are placing themselves above God. How is this not blasphemy and how is participation in the Catholic faith not considered idolatry (according to the Christian faith)? Please help me understand!!

In Vietnam we used to ask each other:

1. Who would you trust with a secret?

2. Who would you trust with your car keys?

3. Who will you trust when the going gets tough?

I once worked with a woman who found it appalling that i did not celebrate Halloween with my children. I don't believe in Santa Clause either, but I do celebrate Christmas ( we celebrate is as Christ's birthday). I celebrate Thanksgiving as our family being thankful for God's blessings ( not for the whole Quacker and Pilgrims stuff....because of what history suggest that happened to the American Indians back then)

In other words, I do allow my children to go to the mall on Halloween and collect candy and maybe get their face painted or something, just to simply let them enjoy the day. However, I teach my children the truth about holidays and their meanings so that when their older, they can decide to celebrate them or not with their children.......why does this seem to make me such a bad parent to some people?

Back in the earlier years of modeling (before my time) models were curvier and pretty.Then somehow the stick figure look took over.Then on show like America's Next Top Model those damn judges look for ANY DAMN EXCUSE to get rid of the sexy full figured models.It has been that way since the show debuted.Also the fashion industry STILL has those bony *** women modeling.Some runway shows will advertise a full figured mmodel or two but still have those malnourished models.At least Spain got a clue.don't these fashion idiots know they are sending a bad message by showcasing these bony *** models?Don't they know that if they showcase more voluptous models it would help alot of young girls/women with their body image?Also don't they know that a curvy voluptuous brickhouse is more sexy than a pile of bones?

Probably best answered by those with a science related background but, what would the planet be like without humans? And, for your statements, are the claims they make verifiable?
