Society & Culture - 7 October 2007

Yes, we lead the pack. It is estimated that there may be as many as 1,000 serial murderers whose crimes have not yet been connected by Law Enforcement and who wander the country, caught in their phobia, killing for the fun of it. That's not counting the ones that are known and on the Most Wanted List, as well as those already caught and convicted.

Reports tells us that Europe has very few serial killers. In fact, in many countries they are virtually non-existent. England, with its Jack the Ripper and a doctor who killed his patients, has had its share. But no country has as many as the U.S.A.

What could be the cause of this? Is it something in our food, our water, our culture, our freedoms? What turns an average looking young man like Ted Bundy into a monster? Some might believe that movies and television might bring on these urges, but the truth is, Europe is saturated with American films. Why does this affliction affect males far more than females?

So why do people hate Psychics?

Oh and Please don't ask me for a reading unless you are willing to pay me to do it. People just keep asking and asking and asking and they think and feel that I owe them something because just because I am what I am. It is really frustrating.

smarter than the scientist who does believe in creation? Why consider creation a fairy tale when some intelligent educated geniuses do not?

And is not an attack on an opponents belief system by belittling it a non intelligent argument itself?

so many people believe that their religion is the only true religion and fit and fight about it lets what physical proof can you offer that your religion is the ultimate rules are simple no quoting scriptures
your proof has to be able to be verifiable
and no putting down other religions in the process
I have my own beliefs and I belive that all religions have marit even satanism so lets see the proof that there is an ultimate religion

I dont just mean a little bit and I don't just mean compared to nations like N Korea. I am talking about the percentage of US citizens incarcerated in the US is 7 times higher than the percentage incarcerated in every other western industrialzed nation.

Neither drugs nor violent crimes account for the discrepancy. If all drug related incarcerations were illiminated in the US and if all violent crimes were illiminated in all countries, the US would still incarcerate 3 to 4 times more of its citizens than other western industrialized nations. Sources below.

I can only think of two possible answers.

1) The people of the US are more wicked and have darker hearts than all the peoples of the rest of the world.

Or 2) Law enforcemnt theory in the US places an characteristically high and usualally rigorous degree of importance on punishment.

If you do (and i do, too), then do you think we should spend very much time worry about the environment? Don't you think we should spend more time worrying about telling people about Jesus in the hope that they will be saved from a REALLY dangerous environment for eternity?

At a thrift store, I bought 2 elephant figurines. One is soapstone I believe and the other is some sort of wood. On both of them the torso area has open holes and you can see a small elephant inside. Is there a meaning/symbol or is it just a baby elephant inside?

... and those christians still think they know better - when in fact they don't even understand what the word "theory" means, the difference between science (understanding and accepting) and religion (believing), not to mention the theory itself?

Then why Christians are not so eager to die?
Why they keep their loved ones with brain damaged attached to machines in hospitals like vegetable?
Why they get scared when they see possibility of death?
Why they cry for years on death of a loved one when they know he/she is in heaven and enjoying a great life there?

We have been married for 3 years. He was raised as a JHW and follows their beliefs. I attend non-denominational churches. Right before we got married he began to attend the meetings, bible studies, etc. again. He has never pressured me to convert or anything and I have no desire to do so. Once a year or so, we will have dinner with people from his congregation. At first I would share this information with my mother because I didn't see anything with it. Then she started making comments like "I hope you don't become a JHW" or "You don't need to be hanging around with JHW's". Today we went to dinner with some of my husband friends and I mentioned it to my mom. She said it again! I then confronted her about it and told her what I do is MY choice, and any decision I make is between me and God. She then told me "Well, don't forget where you came from and who brought you there" (referring to God). It makes me so angry! I am 30 years old. I know right from wrong.

If it were true what would it be evidence of?

For many years church folks liked to spout that line, thinking it constituted evidence of some kind.

Maybe they still do, I don't know, cause I stay the hell away from them.
