Has to be Germany. Having lost two world wars and surrendered all trace of humanity in the 20th century, they proceeded to hijack the European Union and its currency, the euro, making a killing in the process. They then gambled with no security on poorer nations by lending them money similar to the trinkets the Pilgrim Fathers gave the native Americans having landed on Plymouth Rock.
And when it failed, the gloves came off. They demanded repayment with interest for their unsecured gamble. Suddenly lesser EU countries were having their budgets scrutinized, not by Brussels or the Hague but by the German parliament in Berlin.
This nation has not changed. The song remains the same.
Is there a homeless shelter near you? They may need a hand giving out meals or washing dishes on Christmas day. I was told this many years ago when I was in your position. It teaches you to be grateful for what you have. Tough Love as they said and though I hated them for it, they were right.
Steve, they closed the News of The World, an institution in the UK as far as newspapers go and got rid of all the staff. Two months later, they introduced the Sunday Sun. Murdock himself is untouchable. These are the king makers nowadays.
But Ali, my point is that had you been born in Israel, would you not be making the exact same argument about the Torah or the Bible if you had been born here? Without a thought, you regurgitate what you've been taught. I find this attitude discredits a religion. It should surely stand up to scrutiny and question.
I'm not looking for the true way. Religious people have a way of thinking because someone asks a question, they are living in uncertainty and ripe for conversion. I have long since,chosen my path. I'm just checking to see if the stereotypes in my mind actually exist.
Thank you. I shall leave the site immediately. I wouldn't have asked the question, had I known that Richard Dawkins was the new Messiah and had answered it on behalf of the whole human race including the small sub set that calls itself, 'Connecting Singles?'
Had I just become lazy or perhaps I had taken leave of my senses when I didn't think to use Google or Wikipedia rather than ask the falable human beings on here for their opinions.
Please accept my humblest apologies. (I probably should have never questioned the religion of my upbringing in the first place. I have no right to an opinion.)
OK, we have all sorts on here. Christians (with all their flavours), Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Pagans, Wiccans, Atheists, Agnostics, those who believe in God, those who don't believe in God and one or two who think they are God.
Now I would be fairly certain that 90% of people who believe, would passionately argue that their way is the one true way of salvation and do so because they were raised in that religion and were spoon fed the principles of that religion.
So my feeling is that 'faith' would appear to be accident of birth rather than any deeply held philosophy. Should we not question these beliefs and put them to the test before claiming that they have found the true way? Should we not examine other faiths before making a decision? Or is it a case that if it appears to be working for me, don't fix it?
I'm curious to know if any religious people have ever tried to live without it?
If you don't know how to fulfill you own needs, then you are a positive liability to your kids. You can't transmit what you don't have. Sometimes what we want. even as adults, is not good for us.
