Society & Culture - 18 December 2007

I work at a retirement home serving senior citizens their breakfeast and lunch.

Now I see this resident sitting there at her table.

She sat at that table for about 6 and a half hours.
The nurses didn't pick up this resident and she can't say much because she's 99 years old.

But this kind of thing gets me mad when the nurses won't pick up a person and make her wait. I consider that neglect.

What can I do to help her out so that this won't happend again?

My co-worker is one of those people who jump from money making scheme to scheme and he just tricked us making us think we were getting together for Christmas. Then when we get there sure enough his "business associate" breaking out some videophone for sale. What a crock. That man needs to give it up with those damn schemes. Get a real job!

From my understanding Jesus spoke the surrounding languages of the time Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic. "God's word is alive and exerts power" so why hang on to a VERSION that uses a dead language. The new testament changed languages from the old because the scene of things changed and God wanted to make sure that people would come to an accurate knowledge of the truth - so he changed it with the times. The clergy tried for centuries to keep the bible out of the layman's hand by keeping it in Latin - that only they and a small class of educated ones would know. Unbeknownst to them, they were, in a way, doing Satan's bidding - keeping man from drawing close to God. Over the centuries the Bible survived a tumultuous journey - all because God wanted to make sure man would receive his word and be drawn to him. So, by holding on to a confusing dead language as the KJV aren't we basically not getting the full message. Also, it is a VERSION and not a DIRECT TRANSLATION of the ORIGINAL LANGUAGES.

I know there are animals in heaven. But I'm asking if the animals here on earth are the ones that go there. This is a serious question because I lost a pet who I loved a lot about 3 months ago and I'm still just heart-broken for him. It would help if I could believe I'd see him again.

For example, how can people be surprised when there are murders, drug usage, cheating, violence, shadiness and all sorts of atrocities in society, when society brings it on itself? We're uber-materialistic, we all live in our own dream-dealistic-worlds, devoid and ignoring of all reality, not ONE of us really cares about the next guy or people who have it bad, or contributes to ANYTHING good out there, and yet we expect society to magically be this great and pretty place, and we then b(tch when things don't go our way.

Things are going to spiral downward until people start shooting each other on the highways, and start fighthing and it all turns to ****.

WAIT, they already do, it's called L.A.

People and society especially in America, is evil. That's right. Evil. It's ALL about profit, money, status.

The rich and powerful are pretty much evil, and judge others and what not. The poor pretend and connive, or just get frustrated and angry.

it's all bs, so why the surprise?

I just learned from someone who worked there that Borders (and probably other big book chains) don't recycle their outdated magazines. It makes me sad and mad both! You'd think that by now it'd be a no-brainer.

And I can say from my own past employment experience that Bath and Body Works recycles its cardboard cartons but not any of its plastic shipping material.

Doesn't this bother anybody who can do something about it?

there are many such examples....
my question is, if you are offended when questions such as this are asked, do you forgive the offender?

Recently there were questions on yahoo answers about a rape victim in Saudi Arabia .....

In the Bible it is clearly stated that the person who is involved in sex outside marriage is supposed to be stoned to death.....

The same is the punishment in ISLAM.

Obviously any action which makes the opposite sex inclined towards this act should also be punished.....

Why are you "True believers of the Bible" not following your book . Can't you see what you are doing in the name of "FREE WILL"
& "FREEDOM".

The following news from "ABC NEWS" tells us that

"At least nine out of 10 Americans, men and women alike, have had premarital sex, says a new report. And premarital sex isn't new "

http://abcnews.go.com/health/story?...


Is this the will of "The Lord".... Is this submitting your will to the will of "The Lord".

Look within yourself and .... & Submit your will to the "Will of The Lord"....

Don’t you people believe in "Hell" told by Jesus Christ?

We had a missionary speak at our church. He travels all over the world, carrying the gospel of Christ to those that do not have it.
While in an Int'l Airport in the EU, he observed a large mural-type ad with a man, woman, and a child holding their right hands, fisted, with the backs toward the viewer, showing that they had "taken the mark". The text in the ad stated that everyone needed it to ensure the security of their future, and to keep their ID from being stolen, and their accounts safe.
Upon asking an employee of the airline what they thought of the ad, and taking the "mark" (the missionary being a Christian, and knowing the full meaning of what the mark meant), the employee informed him that they had already gotten a letter from corporate HQ, telling them that everyone had to have the mark by 2010, or they would be terminated from their jobs, and lose any benefits, retirement, etc. Scripture being fulfilled. What are your thoughts on this? Your explanations?

Well, my future in-laws converted to reform Judaism about a year ago, and claim it's a religion that is incredibly open to every path of belief. They also say there is an atheist Jew that is a member of their temple who plays the music there.

But what baffles me is the whole commandment: Thou shalt have no other gods before me (or something like that).

How could you be a religious Jew and an Atheist at the same time? I've heard of Atheist Jews that are ethnically Jewish but do not believe in God. But to be a member of a temple and atheist?

My in-laws just claim that this religion accepts everything practically.

I majored in Religion in college, but mostly of Eastern religions, so I don't know too much about western religions.

that YA is so popular? I first came here because there was nothing decent on TV and then, I guess, I got hooked. For me it makes my brain work - a good thing. And its a little like having a conversation ... albeit a short one ... with an intellegent friend. How about you?

But what's with the scores? Are there any advantages to having a really high one other than the 'king of the hill' factor? And if you're naturally inquisitive (as ( am), how do you ever reach such high scores. I lose as much as I gain most days by asking questions.
