Society & Culture - 10 October 2007

Nicklelodeon broadcasted 3 hours of dead airtime on Sept. 29, 2007 in efforts to encourage kids to exercise. Average American children watch 4 hours of T.V a day. In the U.S 9 million kids older then 6 (ages 6-11) are OBESE.

9 million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question: If any kids in your family are obese, is there anything you do to help them eat healthier? Or do you help the situation by buying them chips and candy? and WHY?

I, never buy my sister candy or junk food. Whenever she spends the weekend over my house, we only eat home made food. And we don't buy soda anymore either. So all she drinks in my house is WATER!

Firstly, i don't wanna hear "ignorant" and "intolerant of religion", since this is the only argument most Christians can provide when debating on topics of religion. Now, what are the reasons you are a Christian?? Please share, but be honest, and no fairy tale stuff, like "god spoke with me in my dreams"

I just read a tract that was in the auto. dept of Walmart. It said that Mormons believe Satan and God are equal Spirits. It also said that when God and Lucifer seperated three spirit catagories were created, Jesus being the third and that they all procreate "spirit" beings which inhabit babies when they are born. It said that black children are created by Satans offspring.(PLEASE DONT TAKE OFFENSE) Can you tell me if this is what you believe and if it isn't explain the three spirit thing to us?

Does it bother you at all that he was not a particularly honest man, or that he was a womanizer, a fetishist of a semisadistic, voyeuristic nature, and the fact that his claims of being initiated by a coven of witches (among many other things) could never be verified? Or, do his practices work and the outcome, regardless of his intent, is good and you just don't care at all whether he lied or womanized, etc..?

Thank you in advance for your responses.

To blow with the wind, whither you come or go it is a constant movement that many can't understand. You are an enigma to the rulers, the crowd, to the common man. No one knows your name, where you came from, or where you go; just that you’re coming is much like your going with the gust of the wind, a sign in the melody of the skies. You come upon people they attempt to capture you as their own, but being a passer by you pass right through them and become transparent before their very eyes. And they're left wondering if you were even real. You travel among others and what you touch among them becomes healed, they seek to thank you, but again you are gone with the blow of wind. Are you a passer by, passing by what has been built, what has been established? Do you have the capacity to be as the wind, which goes as it comes? Will you find your home; will you ever make it to paradise?

I thought mankind is supposed to evolve slowly and can only get more intelligent gradually, oh evolutionists. Since that is what evolutionary theory teaches, how was Jules Verne able to make multiple highly accurate predictions about advanced future technology (and just short of prophecy)?

Maybe your mythical alien pyramid builders in the sky have the magical answer? Or not.

Or is it just a political tactic?

No matter how it's sliced, you're going to offend someone. How about we give them breaks every time it's time to pray towards Mecca? What baptist would be up in arms for that?

I think this us just used as a blatant political tool to keep religion in the spotlight.

I am wondering why, since Christmas has been celebrated as the birthday of Jesus Christ since around the third century, some people are only now getting around to telling us that they are offended by this, since it is a Christian holiday?
So, now, instead of letting different groups honor their own holidays in their own way (Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, etc), we are supposed to shove them all under the umbrella term "Winter Holidays". Well, I suppose at least that gives atheists an excuse to celebrate along with people of faith...as if anybody really minded before, anyhow.
But tell me, what will you do about other Christian holidays, like Saint Valentine's Day, or Saint Patrick's Day?
Will lovers bring "February candy" to their sweeties? Will we say "be my pre-spring gal"?
Or may I, as a Christian, still say "be my Valentine"?
Will the Irish have to drink their green beer out of March steins, in order that atheists can drink along with them?
Just how shall we handle these things??

If god really wanted full perfect humans to do exactly as outlined in his writings, then why didn't he just make robots to do what needed doing, and where was (he) before 0BC. It is really odd how different religions exist in specific regions that are outlined by transportation constriants. You might find in the Middle East a variety of religions due to the trade and transportation but India is Hinduism and before America was colonized everyone here was relatively spiritual Native Americans.

AFDC allowed moms to stay home and supervise their children---TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) put everyone out to work at dead-end, unfulfilling jobs---and put children into the daycare system...later more latchkey kids to experiment with everything known to humankind...Thoughts on this?

While flying high upon dark moorish sky
My hunger over came me.
Spying sweet treats I did not pass by
But oh! The glee to feed.
These beasts were of fair size
And a treat to these old eyes.
"Not us!" they screamed, We be champs of our kind
Here at Arradoul & Torbruad.
I gave them my word & took back the sky
With another thought in my great eye.
A filly so new & tender
Maybe the Scot will surrender.
So away I flew, straight & true
To raise havoc & mayhem-how about you?


Please bear in mind folks-this is a story line & I happen to love horses dearly. DRAGON

A shooting in a downtown high school on Wednesday, led to five people being taken to a hospital, the mayor said.

Mayor Frank Jackson said three young people and two adults were hurt. SuccessTech Academy had been secured and there was only one suspect, he said.

"They have the shooter," Jackson said. He did not elaborate.

Ronnell Jackson, 15, said he saw the shooter running down a school hallway.

"He was about to shoot me but I got out just in time," he said.

Another student, Doneisha LeVert, said she heard the principal say "Code Blue" over the public address system, and the students started running. She said she hid in a closet with some of her friends.

Students stood outside the building, many in tears and on cell phones. Family members also stood outside, anxiously waiting for their children to be released.

"I'm scared. I'm hoping no more people got hurt," Jackson said.

Tammy Mundy, 38, who has a son and daughter at the school, told The Plain Dealer of Clev

Is it possible to committ adultery, stay in the relationship (even give birth to 2 children), and still go to Heaven? And the husband divorced the wife because of the adultery. What about repentance? I thought repentance meant to end your sinful ways. Maybe I'm wrong. Would God allow such a thing?

This is not asked to be crude, but out of curiosity, I myself do not like to see women who show their wares to the world, so this got me to thinking what do Muslim women wear.
