I'm not looking for a controversy, I just want to know where the closest message to Jesus' orginial intentions is to be found. It's clearly not in Catholicism. I mean the original ideals. In my understanding, Christ did not beleive in giant cathedrals and ecclesiastical nonsense and complex corrupt church "government". It seems like most of "Christianity" has gotten away from his original ideals. So where is the simplest, purest message to be found? The unfiltered Jesus with the love and tolerance, minus all the doctrine and dogma and intolerance. Gnostics? Greek Orthodox? Tell me where to look.

I know some black people who are against having relationships with white people, italians who are against having relationships with non-italians, and anglosaxons against having a relationship with any foreign people. What is the reason for this? Also are you against mixed relationships?

More than a year ago I noticed many young men holding their crotch as they walked or ran down the street.
I thought those guys must really have to go, and it doesn't look like they're going to make it.
It seemed like this new generation must all have kidney, or bladder problems.
But before long I realized that these guys were just trying to hold up their baggy pants.
How can they call it a "style" when they merely wear the wrong size clothes, or put their hat on backwards?
Have they lost all imagination?

So, this girl has been harrasing me for a year { from spreading rumors, to threatining me, to having 6 girls come to my house to fight me} Im sick of it but i can't do anything { that i know of} to defend myself. She has followed me home, while threatning me before too. I told my mom, and she talked to the girl's mom several times and nothing is working. I can't even go outside without something happening. It all started in the first place because she told her mom she was staying the night with me and the next day her mom called and she was not. She got mad because i told her mom where she was. Anyways, does anyone know a web-site that shows self defense moves for free?? And do you have any advice???? Thank you and have a happy holiday

They are beautiful states in their own rights. However, my vote goes for North Carolina all the way. Why?

NC is:
-Breathtaking, pristine mountains in the west
-A thriving job market in the center
-Nice coastline in the east (w/o the commercialization)
-Full of hard-working and motivated yet friendly folks
-Full of hot women with hot accents

KY has beautiful horse country around Lexington and nice, large lakes in the west. However, nearly the whole state has the sourest and some of the most impolite and clannish folks I've EVER met (especially in east KY.) Oh, the central and eastern KY accents are annoying.

Theres statistics out there saying Americans are getting stupider and are going to be left behind the rest of the world. What do you think has contributed to our stupidness?

I've noticed a broad discrepency responses from opinion based (much higher #) and knowledge based (much lower #) questions involving politics. Why do you think this is and what does it say about a people that Publius said needed to be "aspiring towards reason (knowledge)" for our federalist system to function?

OK I know bra's for women serve a support purpose, but the bottoms for men and women - is this just a trickle down from ancient times (when undergarments would cover the entire body for modesty and tradition), and, as time wore on, the garments (like bathing suits) got smaller, and if so will they be phased out or evolve into something else?

Why does it seem like most black people are crazy and can snap at any moment? They're so loud and in-your-face.

Some of the poorest countries in the world have the highest birth rates, e.g certain parts of Africa. Do you think it is partly their own fault for the increasing poverty? I know that they may not have access to contraception, but once they have one baby, do you think they should be more responsible and make an effort not to have anymore for their own sake and their childrens sake. You see so many babies dieing in parts of Africa and mothers with a lot of children, it makes me so sad. I just dont know why they cant stop after one. What is more important sex, or having food to survive???

the Americans didn't join until the end was near???
Do you think they joined so they could share in the victory??

btw, I'm American, and I'm not trying to diss our military, I'm just trying to find out what people think.

I would like to hear some various viewpoints from

people from all walks of life please ! Thanks.

"In my opinion, there is No denying that for most

of us, the main object of our anger and frustra-

tion is other fellow human beings. Until we

all learn to interact with others in a way that is

Not tainted by negative mental factors, and

strong negative emotions, such as anger and

hatred, No genuine development and cultiva-

tion of Pattience can ever take place !!

There is an excellent book out, that I have

read Four times, and try my best to put

into practice daily, it is called:

"Working with Anger !" It is written by a

woman with lots of intuitive insight. Her

name is Thubten Chodron. It teaches how to

develop and cultivate Patience daily. It's

encouraging and uplifting, as well!

Thanks for all your input !!!

And happy holidays to all of you & your family!
