I would like to talk to people learning English via Skype or some other means, to help people develop their speaking and listening skills in the English language.

I can accept payment via paypal and am charging AU$20 for half an hour, or AU$35 per hour. Would anybody be interested in this?

If evolution is true and not creation then what did Jesus need to die for. Evolution says there was sin and death before man. Creation says man brought sin into the world. Death and suffering was caused by man.

Evolution says the world is billions of years old. Creation says the world is around 6000 years old. You can date back to the time of Adam and Eve. So if anything died (including dinasaurs) before Adam sinned the there is death before sin and Jesus did not need to die for us.

Life in this world is, as it were, a sojourn in a cave. What can we know of reality? For all we can see of the true nature of existence is, shall we say, no more than bewildering and amusing shadows cast upon the inner wall of the cave by the unseen blinding light of absolute truth, from which we may or may not deduce some glimmer of veracity, and we as troglodyte seekers of wisdom can only lift our voices to the unseen and say humbly "Go on, do deformed rabbit again.....it's my favourite".

I've heard the phrase, usually under duress, "OH SWEET JESUS!"

So what makes him so darn sweet? Is he candy coated? If so, in what substance?

Peppermint may be a good idea. In fact, why don't we have peppermint crosses to hang on the Christmas tree instead of candy canes? Must be the damned atheists behind that one.

Hi, I know this sounds far fetched, but who else over the age of 60 and a pensioner, would like to see a pensioners union.

If you think about it, pensioners could have a great amount of clout in this country, because by all sticking together we could change the face of any election.

Anybody else have a thought on this subject?

A couple of days ago, I was watching a report on German television that in many American stores, offices, supermarket or in other places people are unpleased with the term "Merry Christmas" - and that "Happy Holidays" should be used. Because "Merry Christmas" might offend some people, etc

I think that's really nonsense. Over here in Germany (or elsewhere in Europe), Christmas is Christmas -- and nobody has a problem when someone is wishing you a Merry Christmas.

Why this thing is a "taboo" in the U.S. today? I cannot understand this. Maybe someone of you might explain to me?

May I wish everyone A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year?? ;-)

Greetings from Germany...

Biblical Prophets like Solomon,Abraham,David had multiple wives.Is it better for any individual to be betrothed to say 2 wives than to have one and have an affair with another woman on the sly.

I'm 24, & my mom will be 60 next month. She's always urinating on herself, & she REFUSES to wear those diapers. Sometimes, we think it's DELIBERATE. A couple of years ago, she urinated in my BRAND new car because she was jealous that I had a new car & she was riding around in a cracker jack box. When my brother got his new apartment, she urinated on his carpet & then said, "Yeah, M/Fer I pissed on your carpet!" & when you go to her house, it smells pissy. She gets offended when you don't want to sit on her pissy couch. & then you go home smelling like piss. I heard she was schizophrenic & mentally out of her head. She's out to ruin all her kids' lives. How can you be jealous of your kids? She tried to murder me & my twin sister when she was pregnant with us & shortly after we were born. She always brags & boasts about how she's smarter than all her kids. She has a GED, while I have a college degree. She never wants to see us get ahead in life. She's always trying to hold us back.

Why is it that people from other countries are always getting on Americans for everything? Not speaking enough languages, acting ignorant, stuck up? I don't get it especially the language thing. I don't understand why people say Americans need to learn more languages, and that Europeans know three to four. OK, they live next to many different countries that speak many different languages America is next to Canada and Mexico, so excuse us dumb Americans for God having us born in this country, and it seems to me that in other countries they speak their language soley. In some countries the only reason they speak another language is because the govt. requires it. Everyone is always talking about how ignorant and judgmental Americans are, but aren't they doing the same thing by judging us? I don't know who died and made every other nation the voice of reason. It is just so hypocritical. Does anyone understand why we (Americans) are just soooooo dumb? Cause I certainly dont.

I think that most mainstream Christian denominations hold this as how things will work on Judgment Day:

You could be Josef Stalin, Adolf Hitler, a serial child killer, or some other scumbag who caused a huge amount of suffering in the world, but if you repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior on your deathbed, you go to heaven. However, if you were a virtuous pagan (e.g. Gandhi) who tried very hard to live a holy life, but reject the Christian religion, you'd burn in Hell.

How, by the beard of Thor, could you even remotely consider this just? Yes, I know the tired old answer is "Because God's ways are not our own"--but what if 'God's ways' are 180-degrees out of whack with our concepts of justice? If this is just (in some sort of 'divine' way), then black is white, up is down, and the whole Christian religion is standing on its head...
