toward each other on here? I mean I believe in God, but not religion..but that doesn't mean I hate athiests b/c they don't believe in God. I could care less. Believe what you want to believe. Why can't we have intelligent dialogue about things instead of always insulting each other?

How is it that so many people don't know the difference between fiction and reality? I can remember back more than 30 years ago there were wakos trying to get Star Wars banned because they were afraid that people would join "the force" as a new religion. 15 years ago they were calling for a ban on Barney because he had taken on demi-god status. Then there's the whole Harry Potter leads to witchcraft thing. Where do these wacko come from? How come they can't tell the difference between fiction and reality?

Here's what I've got so far:
How is it so far? What can you add?

Atheists do not believe in heaven or hell; God or Satan. Atheism is not a religion. There are no spirits guiding us. We guide ourselves along our own paths and take responsibily for ourselves. We pay whatever consequences may arise and give ourselves credit when credit is due. We do not have flighty answers like 'God did it' for things that happen. We ask why, then research and come to logical conclusions.

I would just like to say that santa saying ho ho ho is traditional for christmas and has been for many centries, If we were to say hahaha merry christmas it sounds like Christmas is just a big joke.. Many children would grow up thinking that christmas is a funny & joke.
What is happening to this world? Where has all the christmas spirit gone?

i was out on saturday night at a nightclub in town and got into a fight with my boyfriends ex girlfriend. It was just outside the club and before i knew it police were involved and split us up. I was then handcuffed behind my back very tight by a female officer and put me in the police car.

on the way to the station i asked if she would loosen my cuffs a bit because they were digging into my wrist, so the officer in the back seat with me checked the cuffs and loosened them a bit, but they were still way too tight!

it wasnt until i got to the station the cuffs were taken off and i looked at my wrists which were red marked nd really sore, so the nurse checked them for any bone breaks etc, but luckily i was ok!

i showed my wrists to the officer who arrested me and she said.. she had them tight because my hand was thin and she didnt want me slipping out of them!

anyway, i didnt think i should have been handcuffed at all!

what do u think of this?!!

I'm just curious about what happens when you buy something online. For example a computer. When they deliver it, do they schedule a day and time, it'll be delivered to your door? Or do they just leave it in front of your door? Because, if they just leave a computer in front of your door, people will just take it while they walk by.
Thanks.

If you didn't show up to work and never called, what would you say the following day when going into work? The job is a shift job, the schedule was 5am to 1pm that day. No kids or wives to use as an excuse either.

I read that Jesus was not born on Christmas which is unusual because it means Christ's birth. I heard that it is on yule, which is a holiday in Wicca and thousands of years before that Druidism. I heard that the Christmas tree and Santa are also from yule. Why isn't Christmas on Jesus's birthday?
(I'm not saying I think we should change it I like Christmas where it is nor am I saying I am a Christian or Wiccan)

I am a u.s citizen and i saw this really interesting documentary on PBS:
The Anti-Americans: A hate/love relationship
I loved the movie it was funny and sad, it also showed political views as well as social views from British, Polish, French, etc. people.

GLOBAL VIEW OF UNITED STATES' ROLE IN
WORLD AFFAIRS

1.)
Great Britain: A majority (57%) continues to see US influence in the world as mainly negative, while just 33 percent sees US influence as mainly positive—down slightly from 36 percent in 2006.
2 .)
France: French views of the United States remain quite negative, showing little change over the previous year after sharply worsening from 2005 to 2006. Seven in ten (69%) say the US is having a mainly negative influence in the world, only slightly greater than the 65 percent who held this view in 2006.

My family is not Catholic, but I truly want to be, because I was raised to be any branch I want.

I'm just curious which hurts more for you, a frontal or normal. And are you a guy or a girl? (I think frontals might hurt more for girls)
