In Tokyo Mew Mew Ichigo is part cat so sometimes she goes, "Nya". I've also heard it in other animes. So do the cats in Japan make a sound different from cats in America? Do they make a sound closer to, 'nya' than 'meow'?

Well my family doesn't celebrate Christmas (not in our religion). But I mean we still put like a little miny tree up and... well that's about it. We don't exchange gifts.

But a couple of my friends at school get so hyped up! I mean when Christmas rolls around they never shut up! They make Christmas lists, go cut a tree, decorate a tree and a bunch of other stuff! People call them Christmas Junkies cause they are so into it.

I'm not saying I hate Christmas - no I have nothing against, nor do I have anything against those kind of people, like I said - she's my friend.

But do you honestly get this excited for Christmas? Or do you just put the tree up on Christmas Eve and you know go shopping for presents only 2 days before?

Please answer!

But once again I'm not trying to be mean - just curious that's all =]

Then how could Jesus walk the earth?
How could Jesus, having been made sin for us, with all sin imputed to him, live in eternity with God the Father?

I live on a typical suburban street with regular sized houses on small lots, in a regular town near a large city. We have 16 houses on a dead end street. The funny thing is no one knows any of their neighbors.

When I moved into the street a few years ago I tried to strike up a conversation with the neighbors, but got the brush off. They acted like they were to important to talk to me. I have watched the neighbors and I do not think it is personal because I do not see anyone talking to anyone. I appears like everyone is ignoring their neighbors even if they are standing right next to each other doing yard work.

Is this suburban living in the 21st Century? Are people this isolated from each other everywhere? Or is it just me?

Since many of us have engaged in very serious or silly or controversial banter on R&S, is it liberating to show your face or does it make you feel vulnerable? Do people look the way you thought they might given what they claim to be i.e. atheist, Catholic, Buddhist, Pagan, Muslim etc. or did you imagine something entirely different? Do you think biases about religion effect the way you think someone might look once you actually see the real human? Thank you and namaste!

Explain if you can why you believe your truth. I understand there will be babes in faith that arent yet able to articulat their belief yet. Feelings dont count, they can be corrupted.

Acts 24:15 - "and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous."

And this other scripture - John 5:29 - "and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment."

If the dead people have already been sent to hell, haven't they already been judged and found guilty? Why would they have to be judged again? And if they are found lacking again do they have to go back to hell? And where are they reserrected to - Earth? Heaven?

Generally speaking, would you trust a religious (pope, caliph etc) figure or a scientist?

Do you think it is a good idea to always be protected from criticism or honest character analysis?

Let me explain. A white person is naturally fearful to say anything evaluating about a minority yest he be, accused of being a racist. People are afraid to say anything to a veteran, they too maybe accused of being unpatriotic. This is also true for homosexuals as well.

Even though civil rights laws and political correctness was a necessary thing, hasn't it got a bit out of hand. How can you be sure how people view you, if they have to tiptoe around you all the time. I personally don't want people to be afraid to ask me a question. If I am doing something the wrong way or am being insensitive, I want people to tell me. I don't want them to not tell out of fear that I might think they are being racist or a bigot.

Should minorites and others be free from criticism? If so why? If not, then why not?

Tired of constantly being broke & stuck in an un-
happy marriage, a young husband decided to
solve both problems by taking out a large
insurance policy on his wife with himself
as the beneficiary, & then arranging to
have her killed.

A 'friend of a friend' put him in touch with
a nefarious dark-side underworld figure
who went by the name of 'Artie.' Artie
then explained to the husband
that his going price for snuffing
out a spouse was £5,000.

The husband said he was willing to pay that
amount, but that he wouldn't have any
cash on hand until he could collect
his wife's insurance money.

Artie insisted on being paid at least something
up front, so the man opened his purse,
displaying the single coin that
rested inside.

Artie sighed, rolled his eyes, & reluctantly
agreed to accept the 50p as down
payment for the dirty deed.

A few days later, Artie followed the man's wife
to the local Tesco store. There, he
surprised her in the produce department
& proceeded to strangle her with his
gloved hands & as the poor
unsuspecting woman drew
her last breath & slumped
to the floor.

The manager of the produce department stumbled
unexpectedly onto the murder scene. Unwilling to
leave any living witnesses behind, ol'Artie had no
choice but to strangle the produce manager
as well.

However, unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings
were captured by the hidden security cameras &
observed by the store's security guard, who
immediately called the police.

Artie was caught & arrested before he could even
leave the store. Under intense questioning at the
police station, Artie revealed the whole sordid
plan, including his unusual financial arrange-
ments with the hapless husband who was
also quickly arrested.

The next day in the newspaper,
the headline declared.............









(You're going to hate me for this . . )











"ARTIE CHOKES TWO FOR 50p
AT TESCO!"

I see 511,611, 811 etc...I noticed a pattern in The Book of Genesis with 11 and Noahs flood. God decides to end the world at 6:11 opens the gates at 7:11 closes Heaven at 8:11 and makes the covenant at 9:11. Yet I don't know why I see it or what God is saying to me...do you have an idea? I also see 23 a lot which I know is the number of "I AM" the name of God in the Old Testament--Exodus 3:14 (also PI) using the Alpahbet which Jesus said he is the Alphabet "I am the Alpha and the Omega" using the English one though "I" is the 9th letter "A" is the first "M"is the 13th so....1+9+13=23. Anyone got any insight to the number "11" Please be serious if you respond. Thank You
