San: The left has always fought for what it perceives is the weaker side(irrespective of whether the weaker side in rifght or wrong). The Political Right has always fought for it's own interests. And it's interests can never align with the weaker side as the weaker side is rarely if ever perceived to win. given a ch

Gideon: A question. This brothel you mentioned, I mean is this legal? Is this just like a shop where a customer comes and selects the girl he wants or something? I thought you had places(allowed by the law) like this only in las Vegas, maybe I was wrong.

Ok, I did a search on the net and found out what Uggs are. Yes, they do seem comfy. Personally I still think they're slippers and not very attractive ones either. Wellm the ones I saw on the net sure looked nice to me. I think this is one of those things like a Harley Davidson..It's more of a statem

The Crusades was an abuse of the Christian religion. Certainly not!!!! It was an attempt to regain what was ours in the first place, and what we had lost. No need to be apologetic about it. Please... Do not forget that most of the Middle East was Christian before the Arab(Muslim Bedouins fr

Gideon: A nice post. Allow me to add my comments to it. Islam has certain aspects to it as per the muslims: 1. The Koran and to an extent the Hadiths are the ABSOLUTE word of God. Nothing written 1400 years ago may be changed. That is why Islamists get so incensed when someone (e.g. Rushdie) question what is written inside. 1400 years ago the common trend all over the world was men wearing beards, arabs wore it, jews did it and I

I don't believe that these terrible actions are representative of the majority of Muslims. But I do believe that it is necessary for majority of Muslims to not only condemn these acts against civilization, but to ACT to stop them. </T

No one noticed that the bible never said you can't smack the guy a good one upside the head after you've offered the other cheek. You can still forgive the oppressor after that right? Father forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us 'after' smacking them on their slimy heads <img src=

What this means is that the practice of BEING a Christian is a serious charge, one that we should not take lightly. As we are commanded to bear one another's burdens, we need to reach out and actively minister to the needs of a hurting world. But Gideon, doesn't this go counter to the 'protestant work e

" I am sure Jodie can live without me anyway!" Come on muggaz, you may be the one thing in her life she's always been missing. And after you 'hook up' with her, I wouldn't really mind being introduced to Jennifer Reilly.

"Sex comes regardless of how much we try to prevent its coming. Love can be deprived absolutely. Sex does not need to be taught, but having sex moderated by the reason of love has to be. " I agree. But what these magazines do to kids? They tell the kids that sex is all important and love comes later or is not in the picture at all. So when these kids grow up they go to a date not to know the girl any better but only to try to get into bed with

"Kerry called the ad "inappropriate" after McCain (R-Ariz.), a former Vietnam prisoner of war, criticized the MoveOn commercial. The 30-second ad accuses Bush of using family connections to avoid the Vietnam War." Kingbee, I think this is where Kerry shows himself(as many of his critics are suggesting, sorry shouting hoarse) as someone who holds no firm opinions of his own. Why should he condemn this ad? Does he not believe(as most of

Beaver: But what I am confused about is aren't true friend's supposed to be all-understanding and above all trusting. If she trusted you well, why was she wary of you meeting her boyfriend 'unchaperoned' by her in the first place? Sounds funny to me.

How do I react when someone harms me. Do I forgive him or do I go for Revenge? The Christian path would be one of forgiveness and turning the other cheek to the oppressor. But when Lao Tzu taught that one should repay hostility with good deeds, Confucius answered: " With what then shall we reward good deeds? No, reward hostility with justice, and

http://www.googlism.com/ Googlism.com will find out what Google.com thinks of you, your friends or anything.

Ok, now allow me to demonstrate why you are not right in your thinking. "Even my name (Brandie, for those who don't know) is average." Who cares? What matters is the person you are! Is the name 'Brandie' easy to read, pronounce, remember. Yes, it is. Then, that's enough. "I am just smart enough to know how very lacking I am." Humility is the beginning of wisdom.
