and than try to act like they're not. The jealousy is obvious and it is beggining to seep through the seems. First white people enslave and defame black people and now that they have finally come up and become successful artists and athletes white people want to hate them and criticize them is it their fault that they're so talented and strong? Than we have spanish people since spanish people are becoming more popular worldwide white people are trying to block them out by limiting immigration, why ? Than you have the Asians, there is an OBVIOUS JEALOUSY. They pretend like there isn't but any intelligent person would know that there is. White people need to appreciate this because if it were just white people than I don't know there would be a lot od dullness and mass boredom.

Okay so I have been screwed over twice at work in less than 3 weeks. The first time I got asked the day before to work on a day I was supposed to get off(which I was gonna use to catch up on my studying) and it turns out that the day I was asked to work, somebody else who was SUPPOSED to be there wasnt and they werent sick.

Then this monday I was supposed to leave at a certain time but because somebody else had a "migrane", I had to stay extra and that just so happened to be the day before a test. Now I had the chance to just go as I was supposed to but decided to not be so self-centered and stay. By the way, the person who was supposed to be there that monday didnt exactly look sorry about what happened and they knew what my situation was.

So now that I know what could happen, Im deliberately not gonna get a cell phone and I wont answer my house phone.

I have just given a stranger $5.00, (Five dollars). He was trying to sale some thing to make money to get home. He was asking $20.00 dollars for the item and at first I said no and drove off. A mile or two down the road I had a change of hart but I only had a five on me. So I turned around and went back to the gas station. He was there when I returned so I drove to him and told him that I didn't have the twenty but I could give him five. And drove away. I don't know if he was lost or not so I asked the Goddess to help him find his path. Foolish or not I did what I needed to do. What would you do?

whom you MUST worship because it loves you more than anyone and will prove it when you die by sending you to Happy Land (or, if you refuse to believe will send you to BADLand for eternity!)...and HERE!- I can prove it to you on pages 401-520 & 772-805 of this here antiquated book of non-fiction, would you believe me?

It is, of course , the "true religion", because you know that, because it's the truth, because it says so in a book. Would you teach this to your child. Do you think some intellectual scrutiny might be called for here. What if the majority of others have believed for CENTURIES in the toilet tree fairy? Would that make a difference in your mind? How would feel about the toilet tree fairy giving you the "free will" to make a choice in this life - believe in it and live in peace eternally, or don't believe and be tortured forever? Simple. A. Believe and you're all good. B. Don't believe and you're goin' through the corrugated irrigation pipe and into the sewers of Hell!

It's really a downer I hate it. You can tell an amusing anecdote, but shop talk should stay out of the lunch room. What do you do to combat constant shop talk in the lunchroom?

Where I live the only Mormon stuff on TV are commercials offering a free book of Mormon or KJV, or telling you to not steal and do drugs.

But in Utah there must be televangalist begging for "love offerings" and guranteeing wealth, health, love and heaven if you give them your life savings like the Born Again Televengalists?

Check out this letter I got from "CJ" and then please give me your comments:
(START)
From: CJ
Subject: Re: hey you:
Message: "Mother" Teresa believed the false gospel of catholicism. Apparently you believe it too. It leads to eternal hell. I would be unchristian and unloving like you if I didn't warn people about it, and I will not stop warning people about catholicism that leads to eternal hell.
You're an angry violent man, just like the genocidal Vatican that you obey. I'd expect one like you to kill me as your "leaders" did and do.
(END)

Isn't that a nice example of Christian love? What do you guys think?

We as human being are made up of spirit and body. For instance: what part of you does the thinking? What part of you decide to watch tv? What part of you pick up your keys? What part of you meditate? What part of you causes you to sin?

If he eventually loved people enough to send his only son to break his deal to torture everyone who didn't follow a few strict rules, and knew this was going to happen... Why make the original deal to torture everyone but the Jews who obey his several hundred laws to begin with?...

My older and younger sisters both date African American men and ever since they started dating them, they have since started to drop who they were to act like they are African American as well. Is it bad of me to think that its rediculous and really dont want to be around them. Why should someone totally abandon their culture to make someone happy? I am Hispanic and I would NEVER abandon that to act Caucasian or any other race...

As most here are aware, Jesus performed many miracles such as healing and curing the sick, infirmed and demon-possessed. While he performed many, this one event really sticks out.

Before the passover, Jesus performed one of his most remarkable miracles-raising a dead man who was buried for 4 years. Because of this there was much popular excitement, and the religious leaders said among themselves: “What are we to do, because this man performs many signs? If we let him alone this way, they will all put faith in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.” (John 11:1-48)

The Jewish leaders here acknowledged the resurrection of the deceased individual, not attributing the raising of the dead to any trickery, yet they did not place faith and accept Jesus as the Messiah. How can this be reconciled? Please, serious replies only.

if he were 600 months old, he would be 50... having only 3 children and no grandchildren would be much more believable.
and that's a low estimate... considering there were no contraceptives and television back then, he could have had 20 children at 50.

what do you think?

all the folks are (seemingly) gone!
what I like about this section of YA is that we ask nice, friendly innocuous questions, and for the most part we answer in kind. I was thinking, if I asked what's your favorite ANYTHING on another section I'd get a whole bunch of mean, smarta**ed answers, then I'd go to bed feeling sulky.
I've been to some of the other sections; I've even participated in some, but I always come back here.
so where is everybody??

If so, what do you do for fun? In a culture like ours drinking is seems like the only way to have fun. However, I don't drink...as a result I have no friends. It seems that going to the movies is so 8th grade...and that you can only have a nice time by incorporating alcohol into your evening.

I'm curious how you keep up with society. Do you have other born again christian friends to support you?

I am catholic, yet I study Islam. I am thinking of converting. I went to myspacechat, the catholic chat room. I just wanted to talk about Islam. You would not believe how people responded.
They think Prophet Mohammed is a joke. They talked so ignorant about God, and the mother Mary. They made violent, sexual remarks about her, and God!
It is very sad.
I also try to talk to my family about Islam. Yet they don't care to know anything. My husband is Muslim. So I talk with his family about Islam. It is just sad that my family doesn't want to know about it. This is something I am proud to talk about, and they just won't hear of it. My mom is a good person though. We have had a really hard time growing up. We all were abused, poor, and lived with a very bad man. I was on my own since I was 13. My mom was too when she was young. Me and her both were into drugs bad. I have been clean for a long time . I am 23, with 3 beatiful kids, and a great husband. I hope Allah forgives me.

As she was walking out, he didn't see me coming in, and he just mumbled "dumba$s" at her as she left his office. I feel like this is really inappropriate. Should I tell my boss that I heard what he said? Should I tell my coworker what he called her? Should I ignore it?
