I've had enough with seeing these "American by birth; Texan by the grace of God" stickers. Many Texans I've met seem to have a superiority complex towards people from other states, thinking of them as being lesser Americans. The truth is that the history of Texas is the most un-American of all: a bunch of Americans moved to Texas, then under the control of Mexico still, and renounced their US citizenship in order to get Mexican citizenship so they could live and work there. They then broke free from Mexico and existed as an independent republic until the US had to come in and annex them cause they couldn't make it on their own. In other words, the Republic of Texas was a nation founded by traitors both to the US and to Mexico, and then they proceeded to seceed from the union less than two decades later. How much more un-American can your history be?

Surely any right thinking person must agree that President Bush and Prince Charles are irrefutable proof that Intelligent Design is 100% true?

It's true that some interpreters (verbal) are also translators (written), but the distinction should be made, shouldn't it?

(I'm not putting down EITHER!!)

After all, you don't even need to be literate in the particular language to be an interpreter, and the skills involved are very different. At the same time, translators don't need to be able to speak the language intelligibly - for instance, Ancient Greek, Egyptian or any other dead language.

ok I'm a woman..he's a guy friend..please tell me what you think :

He sometimes goes to gay bars. (this could be to pick up girls..I dont know!)

He said that he cant get used to looking at 2 guys or 2 girls kissing. (this goes against my suspicions but I think it could have been thrown in to test my reaction to gays/bisexuals)

He went on vacation with a guy friend in a car, sleeping in the car as well with him.

He worked in the navy for a few years (dont mean this in a presumptive way but it is an all male environment)

He broke up with a girlfriend and when friends offered sympathy,he looked surprised and just said it didnt really matter to him as 'it didnt go well for them'. It just sounded
a bit 'cold' to me.

He is attracted to women he gets sexually aroused by them (a female friend of mine made out with him so I know this)

He has a photo of himself and another 'guy friend ' on the beach and the 'guy friend' was naked.

He is incredibly good looking.

ex. premonitions [in dreams, or waking state], ESP, mental telepathy, witnessing a ghost, experiencing psychic phenomena
IF your one that has NEVER had 'some' type of supernatural experience, and still don't believe it can happen--what you think people who go through these type of situations are merely imagining things?

If you approached a person to have sex with & it turns out that he/she is the conservative type who wants to reserve sex only for the one the person is in love with. In this situation:

Would you just walk away?

OR

Play on the person even more till you somehow try coaxing im/her into agreeing?

orange and blue hair and a really really short skirt? How would you and/or the rest of the congregation react?


I for one would be highly amused and would offer the hand of fellowship. What would you do if the rest of the congregation disapproved?

Why would they be nice to you? Just to say to them you are nice?. Or do they do the good things because they like to help others for free? and would they help someone with out no one noticing them helping would they be happy about it? I think not. If you say just I want something in returns but from who, if you helped a poor and this poor would not thank you so you conceder yourself lost that money or that time?

Isn't this a fairly mundane representation of what it would be like? Wouldnt it be an abstract fantasy land where you feel bliss on endless reams of morphing, undreamt of dimensions?

Also, I'm a bit confused. It seems like the Islamic heaven has every devout male getting 72 virgins for personal use. What does a woman get?
