We have a new tax preparation place in town and they hired a man to wear a Statue of Liberty costume and wave at drivers as they go by in order to drum up business. Well we drove by him today and he looks just like Hitler, right down to the little Hitler mustache, i burst out laughing and said,

"Oh my god, its Hitler in a Statue of Liberty costume!"

My daughter then asked me who Hitler was, she's 9 and has not learned about the Holocaust yet, do you think she is too young to learn about it? She has been asking me constantly, until bed, since i said that this afternoon.

We give money to the homeless but are we really helping them out. Some use money for food and shelter and others use them for drugs and alcohol. They sit there and bag for money while scaring tourism away. Some cause trouble and some dont. Some actually need the money and some are too lazy to get a job. If we stop giving money, then will they go somewhere else? If we keep giving them money, then when they will move somewhere else?Ask yourself this, are we helping them out or making the situation worse

I'm looking for actual answers here- like an actual, honest-to-god scientific reason or an educated guess. I think it's a waste of time to focus at all on anyone just because they've got the media's spotlight. Just because someone is a pop musician or an actor and something happens to them doesn't mean I care. I don't pay attention to celebrity gossip at all but sometimes I catch snippets of VH1 or MTV, and I wonder. WHY do we admire the famous? Do we long for their power, money, their attractiveness? Is it to find a mate (ha) or some other simply human reason hardwired to our genes from thousands of years ago?I don't understand. Please help me out here.

Someone just asked "Did Brandy die in the accident?" Well, If that person lives on this planet, the media says NO!
This is astounding to me that so many people ask the dumbest questions on how to find info on something that a few keystrokes would tell them if they expended just a tiny bit of thought and effort.
No wonder this country is having problems....we have way too many idiots with too much time on their hands!

When I say this I mean, "do you thinks it bad to go beyond the horizon of what you should think?" like for example, if I die would anybody care, if our meaning in life is to find happiness what am i doing, or if my life is a living hell does that mean god favors people? etc. I think its bad when people usually have these questions lingering in their mind because usually people end up all depressed and stuff and no ones happy at all. No, I don't think like this, but usually all my friends have their depressing moments. My question along the horizon would be: Would anyone even care if I wore mis-match socks today?

Frequently, in this forum, the subject of the death penalty is brought up.
Murderers, rapists, paedophiles are all to be killed, according to the majority view that I see.
My own position is that such crimes should be appropriately punished, but that the death penalty has no place in a civilsised society, because mistakes happen, and innocent people do get convicted.
The answers I see are clearly felt very strongly, and I want to know this:
Are you prepared to be the executioner?
When you get it wrong, as you will from time to time, how do you put it right?
How do you apologise to the person you killed - in the name of "justice"?
How do you reinstate him/her to their previous life?
How do you apologise to their family and friends?
Are you prepared and willing to meet their spouse and children?
How do you say to their spouse and children "I'm sorry, but mistakes happen, and this is one of those times we got it wrong?

I have noticed a steep rise in the maturity of younger children in our naiton. Is this do to puberty occuring sooner in more children or is it do to pop culture or responsibilities our nation's children are forced to withstand at an earlier age? Is there scientific evidence of this or do children choose to act older than they truly are?

Is there no Christian music on the level of Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd? I enjoy Daniel Amos, The 77s, Rich Mullins and a few others, but they aren't nearly as good as Zep or Floyd and I can't find any who are. Any thoughts on why that is?

Why do deny the right to marry for certain people when our Country is suposidly based on being free. Why do we oppress our own people with religion and dirty politics when the whole world needs us to unite. Why do we stereotype people when we don't even know what they are about and why do we preach about our religion when religion is why there are at least 5 different wars being fought. Please answer this question with an open mind. I am an all American- born in NY, raised in Colorado, and have seen at least 38 states. My father is a marine and my brother is national guard. I still can't belive that our Country is so corrupt.
