If a stranger came up to you and begged you to help them, to get them some food, perhaps a place to stay, a job would you help them, even though you could tell that they were really suffering and really just in some terrible rut, would you help them to get them back on their feet?

I dont pray to it. When I meditate I focus on her and it helps me visualize the goddess. Is that idol worship? If it is, how is it different than the Catholics and their statues? Is it because its MY religion and there are double standards now

Just wondering what stereotypes people honestly believed about other cultures are races... most have a few whether they have ever vocalized them or not. Like some people believe all asians are smart... I don't but some do... some people believe all black people can dance... and well they can't... there are some that aren't so positive that people believe as well... so what are yours... I mean no one here knows you so let it out. I've always wondered. There are even some about your own ethnicity you might think true... I only ask because I think they are at the root of racism, that and a some other things that would take a term paper to asses, and maybe through dialog we can laugh them off and debunk them for some people.

I've lost count on how many people interrupt me to ask a question. Our front office is maybe 20 feet from me. Go there. The book keeper will help.

then you must not believe in the devil. Is this not what the devil wants. Is this not the best way to run a muc, unnoticed?
Think about it ....if you were satan , wouldn't you want people to think you didn't exist?
and wouldn't you want people to think they were in charge and the top of the food chain?
this way , they do what you want them to do and they think it is all their choosing.

Just a week ago I was a soft, cuddly, cookie-tossing little blue monster but now things have gotten bloody. I had another account deleted entirely (e-mail, blogs, etc.) because some people actually push that report button until you're gone. It's not the IP address, because those change often (I often purposely change them to keep the trolls at bay), so multiple accounts is out. In the nearly 3 weeks I had the account I said nothing to insult anyone and, except for Vegemite questions, didn't violate any community guidelines. So this means some people are actually so bored with themselves they just keep pressing that report button over and over.

And so I had to eat their arms. I am so upset it's come to this, but the ulnas are delicious. I need to regain the strength to toss cookies again. The unfairness has rendered me fanged & mean. Is there anything I can do? What would you do? No, no, appealing to Yahoo doesn't help. Would you become a limb-eater too?

Wanna bite? *Beams at you*

Matthew 5

38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

40And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

41And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

42Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

When you drink from a can, your mouth is touching a part of the metal that is not at all protected or sterile. You could be putting your mouth on dust, dirt, or disease causing germs. Seriously, you might as well lick the bottom of the can.

So, with all the modern technology available, why do they still sell can drinks? And, why don't people who are otherwise very germaphobic think it's gross?

I go to a university and it seems like it is segregated! The few blacks that do go to my school all hang out in groups, and the whites are all in their groups. Occasionally you might see a group of white students and one black guy/girl in there. Yup...only one!
All the asians are in groups too!


And no...I dont hang in groups; I still really dont know anyone yet but I do know that Im not just going to make friends with people of my own race! Its crazy! Here you'd see a sea of white students walking around, and then a small group of black students standing together.
Why is it this way?

Ok, so, my mom grew up in Mexico, where a lot of magick and folklore is at, and I was wondering how to interpret the symbols from an egg cleansing? (It's when you rub a egg over a person's body and then break it in half into a clear glass of water. It's used to absorb bad energy, as for other things as well.)

Her egg shows a bunch of little bubbles and spidery webs in it. Mines only showed clouds with 5 tiny bubbles near it, and my father's showed nothing. (The egg and it's yolk was all on the bottom.)

I have a strange and unusual name, and I hate it when I'm at a training course or out drinking or in some social situation where I have to introduce myself, because I inevitably get the comments and questions Ive heard SO OFTEN BEFORE. It may seem excessive but I really dread it, especially when I'm speaking in front of a group. Is there anyone else with this situation, or am I being too prima donnaish? (P.S. It's not Private Erin Coolidge.)

Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
(MATT 5:28-29).
