One Christmas eve, many moons ago, I caught a taxi back from the bank, my husband had died a few weeks before (36) and my daughters were both under 5, I asked the bank for an over draught because life was falling apart, mortgage etc, they refused. For some reason (probably because I was so upset) I told the cabbie everything. The next morning at about 7am we heard a handbell and looked out of the window. The taxi driver had dressed as Santa and brought us food, toys and a little cash. How wonderful was that?
Now that's Christmas spirit :-)

Lately some friends of the family have passed away, and my grandparents have gotten to the point where I know they're scared of dying. They won't tell me that, but they keep hinting at it. I want to comfort them, but I have no clue what to even say...

Anyways, it has got me thinking. What actually happens after one dies? What is your opinion...what do you think happens?

Thank you :)

I'm Asian American and a freshman in college. In the past I had friends mostly of the same background. I did have friends of other backgrounds but just not as much. In high school I was in multicultural groups but mostly Asians still. -_-" Now I'm in college and still I got mostly Asian friends. Maybe I don't approach others because of fear that they will judge me.

What could be the reason? We're all American right? I think for everyone its fear of differences and judgment. DO you think I'm racist for this? What do you think could be the reason? How do I approach others better?

Thank you for reading.

Do you remember February 1993 in England , when a
young boy of 3 was taken from a Liverpool shopping
centre by two 10-year-old boys?
Jamie Bulger walked away from his mother for only
a second, Jon Venables took his hand and led him out
of the mall with his friend Robert Thompson. They took
Jamie on a walk for over 2 and a half miles, along the
way stopping every now and again to
torture the poor little boy who was crying
constantly for his mummy.
Finally they stopped at a railway track where they
brutally kicked him, threw stones at him, rubbed paint
in his eyes, pushed batteries up his anus and cut his
fingers off with scissors. Other mutilations were
inflicted but not reported in the press.

N.B. :- Remember, a 3year old cannot possibly
defend themselves against a 10 year old, let alone of
2 them.

What these two boys did was so horrendous that
Jamie's mother was forbidden to identify his body.
They then left his beaten small body on railway
tracks so a train could run him over to hide the mess
they had created. These two boys, even being boys,
understood what they did was wrong, hence trying to
make it look like an accident.

This week Lady Justice Butler-Sloss has awarded
the two boys ( now men ), anonymity for the rest of
their lives when they leave custody with new
identities. They will also leave custody early only
serving just over half of their sentence.
They are being relocated to Australia to live out
the rest of their lives. They disgustingly and
violently took Jamie's life away and in return they
each get a new life!

I'm by no means racist, but why can't I say I'm white and proud of it without someone accusing me of being a redneck klansman?
Why am I made to feel almost ashamed and dirty to admit I'm proud to be white?

"hey is that your real hair?" i was actually offended when i was waiting on the bus, this black man comes up to me becuase he had a question but then when he saw how long my "hair" was, he asked if it was mine. now i wear a wig thats real hair and my normal hair is just about the same length as the wig, but i want my hair to be longer which is why i'm trying to leave it alone by wearing a wig.

but the point i'm trying to make out is that people are so stereotype these days to think that black women can't grow hair, we didnt ask to have the type hair that we have and i'm sure many black women desire long hair but we just need alot of extra help then white women. so what do you think?

Pagan, Hellinstic......., Heathen, evolutionists, creationists, etc etc????

Just state what it is, in relation to belief that "God" is the higher mind/love/creator/all that is.

What does that belief actually believe?

It is only on here that they surface for me, and I would like to know what people are referring to.
I took the Belief-o-matic thingy on the web, and "it" says my belief is hinduism/buddhism.
I actually have not idea what I would call myself.
I know I can understand and embrace much from many different beliefs, but this is the thing, not all of it.
"Curiouser and curiouser" said Alice.

Please share what it is that is the meaning of your actual belief, or life values?

I heard a lot of news saying that video games encourages violence. Events such as the Columbine Disaster are said to support the question above. Why do people think that way?

As a casual-gamer, I find it quite confusing. I play violent video games but I don't exert the violence out of me. Why people still think video games such as GTA series, ManHunt, Halo series, and Mortal Kombat encourage violence?

Would it be possible to build a hotel where the external walls are made out of sapphire? Sapphire's chemical formula is Al2O3 (the 2 and 3 are subscripts), and it might be possible to synthetically create enough to build a hotel out of. They're making diamonds under high pressure conditions nowadays, so why not sapphires? Mining sapphire would be prohibitively expensive, so it would have to be chemically manufactured. I like sapphires so much, that I might even want a sapphire wedding ring instead of a diamond ring.

It could be called Sapphire Spire, and since it would be so sturdy, it could go up to 30 floors or more!

OK I'm not racist but I feel edgy about something. You always hear that old fashion or traditional Asians want their children to bring home an Asian person. Well let me ask, how come it is "ok" to bring home a White mate but not other races... I'm sorry to say this but White people are more accepted by the parents than the other races...

I'm Asian and I asked the other Asians what their family thinks. They told me Whites are more accepted over Blacks and the others... SO if I bring home a White girl, my family wouldn't argue but if I bring home a Black, Hispanic, Arab, and etc, they will doubt me and my love...

Don't get me wrong, I support interracial love but I'm curious why Whites are more accepted?

Thank you for reading.
