I like Barry York´s blogs. He is a Presbyterian Pastor, but his way of writing and expressing ideas are a perfect way how to use blogging for proper communication with people.
Yes, many tips from his blog would be fine to practise more on CS
my nosy neighbour was extremely curious as well, she asked questions annoying....
I cannot be rude very much to her, she is my grandma´s acquaitance and I must behave nicely
My solution of the trouble; I always ask her questions first now, because I think the best defence is an attack! She is so confused, she runs away when she sees my car coming from the corner!!!!
I am sorry to say, there is NO similar story in Jesus Christ life and cannot be! You do not understand issue of Christ´s Teaching! No form of Revenge but Holy and infinite Forgivness and Love is the basics. Sorry, your story has nothing to do with our Lord!
being Christian means face troubles. The worst we struggle with are not atheists ( how they think so ) but ... our imperfection, dubiousness, vices, shortly we are just people. Even the Pope is a human being indeed
We need just the same rights like others, acceptance, freedom and independence to believe and choose we want to.
I do not agree with Kis14u´s blog. Jesus and God are for me the synonym of Love,Respect, Forgiveness and Mercy.
Negativism is not what God expects us to feel.
My God is Light, Source of Good, Support and Comfort. Because for me be a Catholic one means try from bottom of my heart to be good, suportive and easy-going person. Sometimes I am successful and sometimes ... not
PS Sorry HalvO, my intention was not to attack you, just ask you to be open-minded person. Good Luck.
I am a Rome Catholic and I am proud of that. I do not generalize atheists and I do not criticize them, I accept their choice and free will, pls, atheists, let us be and don´t judge,critize and generalize us, who believe. We have as well our fre will to choose.
You have your arguments why to hate Christianity and Christians, we have our reasons why to be Christians. Let us be, let us live and act how we want to, how we feel and how we like to.
You are welcome! I love my Bratislava and I like a lot Vienna too. Enjoy walking along the Danube - the most beautiful river which joins Bratislava & Vienna & Budapest
I saw the presentation in Palexpo - Geneva Motor Show in 2008. I do not think they will sale the prototype, it´s more the attraction than car
Mike, I will give you different point of view as for women, driving and car....
everybody of us understands they are great differences in thinking according men and women. Women and men use totally different parts of brain hemispheres, even motoric and sensoric approach of men and women are different. Cars and driving were invented, constructed, designed and produced by MEN.... means for men users, not women themselves. In spite of the handicap being woman, women are able to use gadget for " men" ... I am sure, man would never use properly anything designed for woman ... In fact, women are more flexible than men, because are able to live and survive in " men´s planet"
Because they are the worst neighbours in the world!
Yesterday I visited a small town near Bratislava City and about 20 Gypsies women & men & children took over the town, they shouted and attacked passers-by, they asked for money in arrogant way, they mocked and threated people. They have been in Europe last four centuries and they have never been able to settle down properly. I have never seen so much dirt and mess like around their dwellings, they are noisy, rough and dangerous. They attack people walking alone and robbed them.... do I continue explaining why?
They are treated how they deserve, especially in the Central Europe.
P.S. Respect to all Gypses who are nice, polite and working people.
there is not the best way to say "no"... people are oversensitive to "no" reply and many people feel uncomfortable to say " no"
Saying " no" is a part of my job. I always try to approach individually to person when I say " no" to him or her. I always try to explain them, what were my / our expectations and why their results / solutions ... haven´t met our expectations.
I speak slowly, clearly, without intonation and emotions, I use simple expressions and short sentences. I am smiling with my professional smile. Each my gesture confirms only one ; " I am a professional and formal. "
Scouse, I am the first free generation of post-communist Slovakia! Believe me, I know all about our past! Only way to get rid of possible TOTALITY is history facts and being well-informed about possible treats
No feeling of being thankful to the USA or any other country - no reason. But offering hand to all ( Americans, British, German, Russian ect.ect.ect as equal partners, we accept nothing LESS!
scouse forget the USA The Soviet Union died because of their horrible economy, and the fact, Communism is UTOPIAN idea. Scouse with the US or without the US the Soviet Union would crash because communism CANNOT work itself ! READ " 1984" by Orwell, he explained absolutely sharply the reason why totalitarian regimes cannot survive. Totalitarian state could survive if only population is devastated, poor, hungry and terrorized. The freedom came from INSIDE the nations of EAST Europe countries. Read Maddog´s posts.
yeah, as for WW2... you want or you do not want .... the Soviet Army, British Troops & RAF and the USA army freed Europe. The destiny of Europe was established on Yalta Agreement
Russians stopped because of Michajil GORBATCHEV´s PERESTROJKA and GLASNOST the USA was not attracted by Europe anymore that time....
Scouse, maybe your nation MUST be thankful, but do not force others to agree with you. I have nothing against Germany, Russia or the USA, but you cannot change historical facts
Where were you - the USA and West Europe when we needed your help in 1969 after Russian Occupation?
Thanks to our Peaceful Resistance and ignoring all communistic in our private lives. Thanks to our Parents and Grandparents who always taught us what is Trick& Bluff and what is Truth!
Thanks to John Paul II and his influence on Solidarnosc establishment. Thanks to thousands of dissidents in each country under the Communist occupation Thanks to Europe Free Radio station Thanks to thousands of emmigrants who supported many beside East WALL Thanks to Black Sabat - they drove Communists mad ....
Welcome back, wishing you all the best and speed recovery. I am sure after couple of weeks you will write blogs and comments without troubles. Our body is unbelievable mechanism ...
Congratulation to your son with his Holy Communion! I am happy a new " adult " member of Catholic Church joins us!
This days, your son cannot understand the meaning of Communion for himself maybe; as we all - members of the EU, do not appreciate fully the EU Importance. I am EURO- Optimist and how I am devoted to Catholic Church, as well I am devoted to the EU.
I believe in progress and the United Europe States is the best way of development and cooperaton in spite of the fact " teenage EU member states" do not appreciate it much today.
Maybe one day your son will feel the impact of Communion according himself in Catholic Church and his approach to himself,God,people, and love.
One day we all will understand why the EU is the way of peaceful and prosperous vicinity in Europe.
Please God.
P.S. If not.... we have tried to do something great and positive.
I cannot see any reason for laughing over the bidet It is an average part of our houses in the Continent. It is the simplest way, you do not need ater using toilet use shower or bath.
