Anyone ever notice how "God" has such an authoritative sound to it. I mean, different languages use different names. I just think the English one could sound a little nicer, or like a little more approachable. Anyone know what I mean? I don't mean any disrespect, it's just an observation. You think they made the name "God" because it does give that sense of disipline just in the sound of it, and maybe an tinge of fear?

How did they?
What age were you?
Did it affect your life or view of it?
Did you learn anything from it?

If that were true, then it stands to reason that we know what we would become.Why then do we find ourselves floundering in wilderness of confused state most of the time ?

My 14 year old son came in the other night dressed as a female with make-up, a wig, a mini-skirt, in full womens dress. I am a very old fashioned, traditional person. I dont like girly boys or crossdressers. I want my son to be a masculine man. When he came in I shouted "what the hell do you think you are doing?" and he said it was girls night out at the club. I threatened to ground him for a year and he called me a close-minded redneck piece of sh*t that will never be worth anything. I gave him an old fashioned beating with my belt and it left a small mark on him. He called the police, and I was arrested that night, and my son said things like "stupid dumba$$ redneck is going to the cage with the other animals" all the way out the door. the police did nothing in response to my sons behavior. I am out of jail now, and there is no restraining order to my knowledge. what should I do? My son told me I will never change him. My wife(who I love dearly) and him currently live alone

I know that Pakistan used to be a European-Asian country and was mainly a White people country, and I know that they are not like Indians except the ones who are poor, they look Indian. But for real, I can never tell apart a White or Pakistani all the time, the only Pakistanis I can tell apart from Whites are the poor ones, who are brown skinned; I'm not saying brown skin colored Pakistanis are poor at all times, but the brown color for Pakistanis came from their poor ancestors, the rest of Pakistanis are Caucasian.

Do extremely religious people think about sexual things? It almost seems like a weird way of comprehending what sex is.

b/c they are white, latino just means you were born in a spanish speaking country, it has nothing to do with race , yet people are soo ignorant they assume mexicans for ex. are short and dark, if you google alexis bledel, who plays rory on gilmore girls , you'll know i'm right, she's latina, or hispanic , whatever the term you may use for spanish speaking people is and she is a very pale, blue eyed tall girl, with chestnut hair-btw she is mexican and argentinan and she didnt know how to speak english until she went to kindergarten b/c she only knew spanish,

you know it is possible for there to be white hispanics, what do you consider people from spain? they are white and a lot of their descendants went to latin america..if i know this much ..why are people soo ignorant?

Today a rep. from HICAP (which is an agency that helps Seniors with all their
insurance questions), addressed our Sr.
lunch program and told us......
All Part D recipients that were on Medicaid or MediCal and transferred over to subsidized insurance coverage
for your meds.....Will receive a very
IMPORTANT questionnaire from Soc.
Security in the next few days.
This is legitimate and must be filled out in full and returned to the address
they state.
If this is not returned by the deadline
they set....you will no longer receive
subsidized meds.
The meds I speak of are when you
only have to pay $1.00 to $6.00 per
prescription (due to your low income.)
Why are we getting this? Because
at the start of the program, the Feds
transferred over everyone that was
on Medicaid without a recertification.
There were people that did not qualify,
so now we must all prove that we qualify for this program.
If you can help any other Sr. with poor
eyesight or who does not understand
please do!!

A married man befriends a woman and will not tell his wife about her.

She has no interest in a sexual relationship and makes it clear to him.

He makes her aware he is interested in a sexual relationship but will abide by her wishes.

He stops by her workplace often and they have hung out afterwards to talk about personal issues and discuss political points of view.

She likes his career connections and nothing more.

She does not encourage him, but does not demand he leave her alone either.

He called her one day to ask if she is in town (her job sends her away often).

Right after that she receives a wrong number call. A woman asks her “Is this the cell phone of Christopher James?”

You have the wrong number she says.

The woman firmly asks again the same question.

He stops by later that day.

She said nothing about the phone call to him.

What is your opinion about him and her?

If his wife follows him to see her, do you feel she is at fault in someway?

Is their friendship even an issue that one should be concerned about?

Or do you leave your car parked in the garage. How about Large pick ups and 18 wheelers.. We should form a caravan in DC and demand that gas prices have to come down.
