gawd.

Oooh this was part of a few discussions I was in today. My teacher thought Khamenei shouldn't have come over...by talking to the highly educated students of Columbia U he just restated what everyone already knew: he's a pretty insane and almost definitely dangerous type of guy. It really bolstered his image even more in Iran though, because now they think he's ever so brave to go right on American soil and say all the crap he did. At least that's what he said..havn't read any articles about the reaction he got in Iran yet..

Other than the fact that we may indeed go to war with his country soon...I don't know why we can't see this as just another controversial political figure trying to peddle his views to others. If the Prime Minister of England wanted to give a speech, then as the the leader of another nation he should be allowed to. Those listening could then agree or disagree with what the Prime Minister would be saying...but at least they'd both sides of the issue.

I watched a special on the History Chanel about a year ago warning against the dangers of the increasing Neo-Nazi movement in America. It personally gave me the willies.

I've never really experienced first-hand a racial or otherwise biggoted attack against another...so it's kinda hard for me to believe that so many people actually have the sentiments expressed in the article at this point in time. The only way I think these hateful views could be stopped though is if you educate these people's kids...

I dont know why you put that other stuff but it was unnnecessary.

Oh, I kinda thought it was...cause your website inspired me...
Like in most "predictions" about the future...they're not seen to be miraculous until they become true. Most horoscopes work because in hindsight, you see that the vague jumble of words do turn out be be true in a way...but that's because the situations described in horoscopes are general and could be interpreted to fit almost anything. Your website worked backwards...It already had the situation, so they were trying to find the right jumble of words to fit it. Naturally, most words didn't fit right...so they kinda tweaked them a bit to fit the particular situation.

Also people of that time of the belief when the Earth was teh center of teh universe interpreted the scriptures wrong which in somecases happends a human error. Which was fixed later on.

And you yourself could most certainly be misinterpreting what the bible says, because of "human error", right? So...I guess the way they interpreted the scripture on the website could also be wrong, and they're really just grasping at straws?

Here is some facts of the Bible which anything done or that comes to pass,and event. To deny a fact is to lie.

ZOMG my horoscope yesterday said that there would be huge challenges comming up soon, but that if I perservered and let no distractions clot my way of thinking, no obstacles cud stand in my way. And, leik, so zomg u kno what? i had a MATH TEST today! The horoscope KNEW that id be having a math test, and since i just focused on my notes and all the examples i studied and not think about other stuff like how i think i kinda like this guy even tho hes a l00zr nd prob dusnt leik me I got a 97 on it!!

AIM.com horoscopes predicted teh futere!!

Or..maybe I'm just taking the horoscope and trying to make it fit with what really happened because it makes me feel more secure or something..

Do you know what a percentage is?

630,000 middle-agers in prison in 2005, up 600 percent since 1977, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
^
There's more middle-agers now than there were in 1977...so there'd be more people in prison just based on the fact that the population's bigger. Soo I was wondering how much of the jump of people in jail had to do with the population being larger, rather than a larger percentage of the population doing bad things compared to the population 30 years ago.*

I will take a realistic portrait of Jesus and run around the Midwest showing the bible crowd that Jesus was middle eastern and looked far more like Osama than Ted Nugent or any other of the white blued eyed American images of Jesus that are about as realistic as Hillary Clintons health care plan behold your savior.

2)By all "around the midwest"; do you mean all the small rural farms too or just like Tulsa?
3) There should be an apostrophe before the s in "Clintons".

Also a kinda not-smart one; sorry.
If we leave Iraq..just pull out alltogether, it'll just be anarchy and everyone will be like ZOMFG WTH? And ya..everyone WILL kill each other until a new Saddam-like dictator takes charge. At that point, there will then be an ORGANIZED effort to plot revenge on those nasty Americans and punish them for their dastardly way of life. Chances are, they'll get their hands on some nuclear/destructive material and then there will be no USA, or Israel, or something very sinister if not total annihilation. Granted..this may happen after we gradually leave too...but at least the people will have a chance to get used to us leaving. Maybe total chaos will be prevented.

Oooh, and the Hebrew Bible wasn't actually organized and written down until...quite a bit after they were said to have been given. And then some books were left out. Until that point everything was passed down orally..which isn't at all reliable. And then when the Christians went to make their own bible they wrote stuff and left crap out then too. And have you actually read Genesis word for word from a Hebrew/English bible? It makes NO fucking sense.

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods:

Marks & Spencer are just covering their asses from getting sued

On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness."

Again, covering from getting sued

On Sunsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash)

If there wasn't a warning label, Subsbury could still get sued..

On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

I'd tell you that you were unfunny...if you actually thought of this stuff.

I was under the impression that there was already a whole lot of pressure on the Iraqi leaders..

And how do you propose to split Iraq up? How do you intend to force people to adhere to the borders you're proposing? Or close off Iraq's mountainous borders to its neighbors? Walls? xD

I don't have any first-hand accounts from soldiers who're actually out there trying to stabalize the streets...but based on things I've heard (mainly from the Daily Show)..there should be more translators and soldiers who can hold a conversation with the average people...gain their trust, treat them with respect, and just show them that they're people too. Have soldier-Iraqi soccer games.."hang out"..community togetherness activities..stuff like that. I think less people would want to become suicide bombers if they actually have faces to the people they're trying to kill instead of just "the enemy".

This is the first I've heard of it...of course, I really don't live close to West VA.

Here are some of the examples I have come up with for women. Women want to be equal to men in the workplace and in society. For those of you in university, I ask how many of your school's gym's have men only hours? How many have women's only hours? I know my school has women's only hours. Okay, women may not feel ocmfortable working out infront of men, I can deal with that.

And men are usually the ones using the gym, therefore there aren't special "men's only hours".

Lets look on a more individualistic scale. Women expect the little things men do to still happen despite the fact they want to be equal. They expect the man to still hold the door for example, other other chivalry gestures.

Or it could be viewed as just..being nice..

:Look at house work. While I do realize there continues to be a gap between men and women in the house this gap is shrinking. Men are now being expected to pitch in more, dishes, laundry and house cleaning, traditional female roles.

Because it's fair for women to have to come home after they've also worked an 8 hour day and do all the domestic chores that used to be a full-time job for homemakers

However I see very little movement of women taking on masculine roles, such as mowing the lawn, shoveling the drive-way, fixing the sink or taking out the garbage.

The Mexicans mow the lawn, the kid down the street shovels the drive-way, my mom takes out the garbage cause she wakes up earlier, and my dad calls the repair man for the sink.

Lets look to minorities now. One could argue that the gap between whites and blacks has closed to a mere crack, rather than the giant cannoyn it use to be.

One could also argue that there's still a long way to go..

How many of your schools have a black student union, African student association etc? How many of you have a white people's union, or a European students union? No one would stand for such a thing.

There isn't at my school. But I'm guesing since the majority of students at whichever school are white...and don't need to feel motivated my having a "white people's union", because they take their skin-color for granted.

There are scholarships that only black people can have, but no such scholarships exist for poor white people only. Poor white students need money just as much as poor black students.

True, but I always thought the scholarships were more for black kids who're really in financial need, like they live in a "ghetto" house and only live with their mom..and they have no chance at even going to a community college witout financial aid. I really don't know any white kid in that situation.

I heard on the news a few weeks ago that the Champagne region of France was running out of champagne because so many people have been drinking it in recient years; mostly in India =(

I got guilted when I was younger. Very, very cold indeed. Deffinatly left an impression.

I think with older kids, in the 5-6+ range anyway, the best thing to do is talk to them like intelligent people. If you're a councelor at a day camp you can't really spank your kid no matter how screwed up they are...Usually you can just sit them down, speak in a calm Mr Rogers-type voice, and just talk to them. Just treat li'l kids with respect..

The decision should be made by the victim if he had a will, or what the doctors have recommended based on chances, and ultimately what would be the most humane thing to do.

But what about the ex-football star paraplegic? If my lifelong dream just got squished, and I would no longer be able to participate in the one activity I love and have devoted the majority of my young life to, I'd be pretty gawsh darn suicidal. Would the paraplegic be able to get euthanized? He doesn't have a terminal illness..but he'll never be able to get the useage of his legs back; it could be classified under an "incurable condition". Would he not be able to? Is he too young? His affliction not severe enough? Is his judgement impared due to this recient trauma? Who's to decide all this?

Actually, all religions forbid suicide, seeing it as a mortal sin.

Em, i don't know about your religion, but christianism is based on 10 commandments, in this case the obvious: Thou shall not kill, but then, we are not killing, just letting die.

Ya some people think there isn't a major diference; hence why St. Augustine of Hippo interpreted suicide to be a bad thing. True, there isn't any mention of suicide being a condeming-you-to-hell action directly in the Christian Bible..but I don't believe it's generally an acceptable thing to do, according to hard-core Christians.

Haha, "Do not un-coma-tate". But what if you're old but you're not likely to die even though you have a crap load of illnesses which makes you unable to even get out of bed? You're not in a coma, but you're still trapped inside your own body. And even if you DID want euthenasia, you probably won't be alowed to get one cause your judgement might be foggy for some reason. Or if you were a young all-star college football player and you suddenly become a quadriplegic? Maybe you just get paralyzed from the waist down? You still won't be able to play football ever again and achieve your dream of going pro. Could you get euthanasia because of that?

Religion is important to many people. Quite a few popular issues tend to contradict the centeral-most values of many religions; such as abortion, gaystuff, and science in general. Therefore, for the people to whom religion is important, these issues are ebul and as a member of the One And Only True Religion it is their duty to persuade others to refrain from these vile abhorrences. Hence, these issues become even more over-blown cause of all the stuff talked about it.

Nowadays we're so interconnected and steeped in self-rightous humanitarianism and egalitarianism that; save for a few crappy third-world despots; the entire would would turn against an aggressive world power that attacked another world power without provokation.

Very true, but that doesn't stop the average semi-ignorant American citizen from having a general dislike or apathetic opinion for the Chinese, just because they're on the other side of the world. And if in the hypothetical situation that America does go to war with China, that negative opinion would have an impact. Same with Iraq and all...I know we didn't destroy and then attempt to rebuild it just because it's in the Middle-East, which is where the ter'ists who caused 9/11 were from...but it suure made the war more popular.

Apparently not, since they aren't. They're one-party, but a one-party system and communism do not require each other at all.

The system employed by Deng Xiaoping after the death of Mao Zedong is called 'Socialism with Chinese Characteristics' but it's basically like the mixed, mostly capitalist economies of Western Europe.

Iraq, Vietnam..I honestly can't think of anymore off the top of my head. There deffinatly have been other countries that have been not-nice to other countries soley based on the fact that they were different, though. Great Britian treated Indians considerably more like second-class citizens compared to those in other colonies, because they had darker skin. Columbus enslaved the Tiano, Pizarro killed the Incas, and Cortez destroyed the Aztecs; again because they were different. You get the drift.

Immigrants to America wanted to be part of America. And if the immigrants of years past did not eventually learn English and conform to other normals of the society...their houses were broken into and their kids were beat up.

You mean the good ol' days when they would lynch the coloreds for looking the wrong way at the
