You have the opportunity to make a good amount of money for doing nothing more than placing an order, filling a glass, serving and clearing food. If you do this, you can expect to be paid anywhere from $10-50 from me based on the check. That's for less than an hour's worth of service. I think that's fair. I was a former waitress and now an attorney. It used to baffle me how so many servers used to complain about their job when all they had to do was be friendly and pay attention to their customers. Seriously, why do you think what you do is so hard? There is no science or math to this. There is no heavy lifting. Most customers who are angry are not angry with you. If you simply apologized and blamed the kitchen, the customer would calm down. Instead, most waiters get defensive and make the customers more angry. All jobs require thick skin. I have people yelling at me all the time. It comes with the territory. Grow up kids

It seems like evil, sin, or badness is generally just so vicious, and aggressive, and in a sense will "run you over," either with the purpose of destroying your spirit, or what you stand for, or trying to overpower you.

People with bad intentions, or screwed up people just seem to be soooooo set in their ways, and what not.

Good people or normal people just mind their own business, and they preach their mantra but not in an aggressive way. The ones that go out of their way are "bad."

Why is it that the bad ones always feel the need to dominate, and overpower?

If there is a "satan," it would seem that he and his followers possess traits of aggression, anger, vileness, hostility, fierceness, just SO much crap.

WHERE is all this negativity coming from?

Are these people just born that way, trashy, or what makes them act these ways?

I notice it ranging from road rage, to cursing/screaming, violence, catty remarks, etc etc.

What's their problem?

Physical, mentally or emotional pain.

Do some people have a higher tolerance to pain than others.

People tend to blame God for all of the evil in this world. It seems contradictory to me that the people who say God does not exist, ALSO says why could "GOD" let all the bad things happen to people? Well here is the answer. We blame others for our own mistakes. God allows us to live with the choices we make. This goes for everyone in the world. Evil happens because of peoples bad choices. If a person decides to kill then it was that persons choice. Bad things happen to people, that is life.

If you take ALL the seniors from this site, what a wonderful fun place it would be. We could finally meet face to face all those we have grown to love as friends among other things.
We have the knowledge to really create a wonderful place.
It wouldn't matter what your race, religion, sexual preference, etc. were either. Just a bunch of old farts having fun.
May sound a bit like a fantasy but it's only a fun question.

We just moved here and are looking for a church. We want something contemporary, casual but with really strong exegetical teaching. We also need lots of activities for the entire family (AWANA - or something like it, bible studies, small groups, etc.) Is there anything like this around the Maryland Heights area?

Because I see so much touted around these pages about anti-religion and Christianity, I am willing to give all those with an emotional bent to air their pet peeves against Christianity, or for it!! All are welcome, regardless of your affiliation or non-affiliation with a doctrine. The word here is vent. Try to be polite for the sake of all the kiddy's, but be as candid as you can within reason and YA rules. Thank you for sharing.

This perverted, violence-driven nation is creating monsters like this on a daily basis.

What a pitiful state of affairs this world is headed to.
It all seems to get worse and WORSE.
Stay in the Word, brethren. This world is NOT our home. Stay firm in the Lord. There are people out there that are literally POSSESSED by the devil. Watch your family brethren. Satan is out there.

This makes absolutely no sense! How can you actually believe that having faith in Jesus as your savior is going to allow you to go to heaven?

I mean, I just can not understand where you come to the conclusion that this is rational.

It seems that there is faith built in one idea upon another with absolutely no evidence and for some reason it makes sense to you. How could this possibly make sense to you? You are not dumb, most of you are rational in so many other thoughts but this one just takes the cake.

Every question I ask to Christians seems to always be side stepped, it is like you don't even realize what I am asking or refuse to realize what I am asking you.

In the New King James Version, did David kill Goliath, or was it His brother? If you use the New King James, do you find this error, Hint, it is in Samuel.

I find no contradictions in the KJV of 1611, do you?
