RE: Africa Orphans

THe first book of the Koran does not say that. In fact it says that you should aid the traveler on his path. In fact much of the first book talks about showing kindness to all, especially your own.
Much of thr Koran is just like the bible, in that it is militant in some ways, peaceful in others, and prejudice, just like the bible. And just like the Bibled, it has many contrdictions of itself. This is why in all the Hebrew based religions, there is and always will be so much turmoil.

The three branches that came from the Hebrew faiths, all share this.

RE: My daughter

I heard this once, and seems to actually work.
Have her write a letter to them, telling them how she feels, and that she loves them. Then let her hang them next to pictures of the people she lost. Make sure to tell her, they will know what she writes, as they can hear her thinking about them as she writes these letters.

This is supposed to help with the accepting of the loss, and begining to cope with it easier for kids.

I hope this does help.

And if she is having a hard time with it, I would not rule out professional help as well. Sometimes it takes more than just love to help kids get through these hard times.

Best wishes.

RE: WHEN YOUR BOSS SHOUTED AT YOU,WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO!

Only had that happen once. Had a manager tell me to do something, that I had informed him would not work. When it didn't, infront of the X-Chef he started rampaging at me. His last mistake, as I put his head on the grill and informed him next time I'd do worse.

And no it was not the main grill, so it was not on. But the point was made, and he understood clearly.

RE: What would you do??

Cliff diving is a real blast! Maybe try that?

wow

RE: Miscarriages.. Has anyone had one???

I am so sorry to hear this. You sound like y9ou would love to be a mother one day.
One the good side though, and I know it never seems like there is one, is the advancements in the field of reproduction sciences, they are finding new treatments all the time to help women that want to be mothers. Hopefully they will find one thaty will help you too!

RE: Are white guys attracted to black women???.

Hey a man just wants a good woman. Color and other superficial factors I don't believe play that very heavy into it for most people.

RE: Miscarriages.. Has anyone had one???

Sorry to hear that Lena. I know that it is something that is never easy to deal with. MY cousin and his wife went through this 6 times, before they had their first child, and now they have five.
I seen this first hand on how it hurts from two I do care about.

RE: What kibd of music do you like....I meant.........

Thanks for the comments and thoughts.

RE: Do you prefer.....

I agree! barf

RE: Darfor

“Darfur and Chad are but an extension of the U.S. Iraq policy “with other means”—control of oil everywhere,” Engdahl says. “China is challenging that control “everywhere,” especially in Africa. It amounts to a new undeclared Cold War over oil.”

How in the hell does the US control the oil??
I wish these nutcases would look at reality. OPEC controls the oil. Maybe it is China challenging them? Gads I hope someone the hell does.

RE: Darfor

Urhotman, I have to respectfully disagree with you. And this is not on any one issue of La. but the whole mess.
First, we had a lot of help from the outside. I was actually surprised to see Mexico offering help, as their government had so many times in this country made itr clear what they thought of the US. But then look at Israel, UK, Russia, and how many other countries that sent people, money, and supplies?
Second the whole base of the fault as I have been in three other discussions on this very same sore subject, is founded in the State itself. They had recieved more money under bush than the last five presidents combined to repair their defences, and misused the funds. As the upgrades to the regs that govern this in 1946 and 1966 replaced the US government to the state Government to recieve money from the federal Government to use as needed on the storm walls and levies. The Federal Government is only supposed to send the money to the state tres. and the state officals are to use the money as needed. The Corps of engineers gave the Statre of La. over five reports of flaws and weak points in their storm defence, and the State failed to respond (the Corps of Engineers can only do as the State directs the funds to be done).
Now after the storm, yes there was a number of stupid acts there. Like the Governor blockading the Red Cross and others from entering and setting up aid stations all the way to FEMA's errors and they were also many.

But to the point of this thread, I have to agree that I am tired also of this country being the police man of the world, and the main vilan when ever someone wants to blame someone for something going wrong. After WWI we were made to sign a non-aggression pact with Europe, so maybe it is time we did it on our own now.
Take care of the US, and let everyone else do what ever.

RE: Darfor

Ok now that is a good question.
Yes we should do something to try and find some legimate help for these people. Actually for the many out there that need help. This is why I am so against the UN, is they do little for any of the problems of the world except make them worse.
I think what would help these people and others like them in the world, is to disband the UN, and redesign something that will fit the real world. I am not talking about the real world as to the US or any other country, but what is actually going on, and with better adaptability to adjust to changes. I don't know, but maybe I am thinking of something that just cannot be done, just what needs to be.
But yes the people in Darfor do need help and have needed it for some time.

RE: The true leader...

To be a leader, means to understand you cannot do everything your self, and to use those around you for their strengths to compensate your weaknesses.
Deligation is made of using people for their strengths, and being smart enough not to be played by them.
It also requires tons of multi-tasking skills, to do amny thinigs yourself, and have many others doing other jobs for you, and all at the same time, while keeping control on all of it.

No, not anyone can be a leader of a country, it is not an easy task.

This is why some fail so horridly.

Remember, if we had a good leader when the first attack hit the Trade Towers, then the second would likely have never happened.

RE: How should i love a man?

First, be open. A lot of times we try to understand and predict what you women want or desire, only to have it shoved back in our faces, or upset you women. I know most married couples I know that have lasted the years, have been very open with each other so they both have a better understanding of what each wants and desires.

Second, if a man tries to do somethng nice, accept it even if it is not what you wanted, we do that enough, and it is a sign that we are trying.

Third, Understand that we are not perfect. We like you try to do the best we can, and often have our own ways of doing things, just like you do, and sometimes look at thing of importance differently than you might. This should open doors of communication to discuss what each thinks, thus a understanding can be reached much easier.

If both sides do these things, then any relationship that is honestly trying, should have a much better chance.

RE: What made a legend of Princess Diana.Her character or media?

I honestly don't know.
I don't believe the media, because they use just enough facts to try and make their BS look like facts, and here in this country our info is so limited that you have to go by what the media says, then refer to the begining as what I said about the media.

As far as I can tell, the Land mine issue has more force brought to bear down on it but Children's International, an private group I think, than any one has ever done. HIV/Ads issue has had more done by the *Cough* UN *Cough* than any other factor, but that like most of the UN's work has been mostly a joke, but atleast it is brough more into the open.

If Diana had any impact on these, and not saying she did or did not, then that would have been good, but I honestly don't know what is real and what is media hype.

RE: Favourite song lyrics...again.

OCEAN GYPSY

Renaissance

Dunford, Thatcher

Tried to take it all away
Learn her freedom just inside a day
And find her soul
To find their fears allayed

Tried to make her love their own
They took her love they left her there
They gave her nothing back
That she would want to own

Gold and silver rings and stones
Dances slowly of the moon
No-one else can know
She stands alone

Sleeping dreams will reach for her
She cannot say the words they need
She knows she's alone
And she is free


Chorus:

Ocean gypsy of the moon
The sun has made a thousand nights
For you to hold
Ocean gypsy where are you
The shadows followed by the stars
Have turned to gold, turned to gold

Then she met a hollow soul
Filled him with her light
And was consoled she was the moon
And he, the sun was gold

Eyes were blinded with his light
The sun she gave
Reflected back the night
The moon was waning almost out of sight

Softly ocean gypsy calls
Silence holds the stars awhile
They smile sadly
For her where she falls

Just the time before the dawn
The sea is hushed
The ocean calls her
Day has taken her and now she's gone

Chorus

No-one noticed when she died
Ocean gypsy shackled to the tide
The ebbing waves were turning
Spreading wide

Something gone within her eyes
Her fingers lifeless stroke the sand
Her battered soul was lost
She was abandoned

Silken threads like wings still shine
Winds take pleasure still make patterns
In her lovely hair
So dark and fine

Stands on high beneath the seas
Cries no more
Her tears have dried
Oceans weep for her the ocean sighs

Chorus

RE: Hard of hearing...

Roflol!! rolling on the floor laughing laugh rolling on the floor laughing

RE: What's the biggest discovery man has ever done (technological or scientific)?

I do agree with the wheel and self awareness, but also up there would be Math. Without math we would be limited to what we could do, and thuis all other inventions would have not advanced as they have.

RE: If you had one wish...

A cure for fibrosis so I could go back to the things I love to do.

RE: Box of cans...

Sounds about right. LOL

What musical piece do you think

Well was not expecting so many classical pieces, but yeah I do agree that it does have so many beautiful pieces out there.
Kansan, I do agrfee, Mother nature is the best composer of music. I miss so much going into the mountains and listening to the sounds of nature there.

cheers

What musical piece do you think

What is the most beautiful piece of music you have heard.

I think it has to be Debussey's "La fille aux cheveux de lin"

Which piece do you think?

RE: what's the best thing that was ever invented ? and why ?

Water systems and plumbing. Even though this started around 350 B.C. the effects on society has been so much that even today we would be lost in many ways without it.

RE: "Where were you, when..." No. 2

I was almost three back then. So I don't really remember.

RE: "Where were you, on..." No. 5

I wasa getting ready for work that morning, and thinking about my trip to Australia in two weeks. When I saw whatr had happened, it reminded me of an manuscript I had wrote a number of years ago, and that I was told was so far fetched no one would even accept it....

RE: Just made

We've been going through that for a few months now. Now every time it rains, it floods.... The ground is too saturated to hold any more water.

RE: man size

One thng I have noticed is that if you're above average, then many women hav e a hard time accepting it. I never thought I was that big, and even after one woman meassuring it, I still don't, but the fact is size does matter with many women.

RE: Making a baby!

Ohhh gads!!!!
And I have had women complain about being too big. LOL

RE: FLASHING SHOULD BE CONPOLSERY

If you want flashed, come here to Oklahoma and work in a convenience store... I worked on for a while, and if I did not get flashed at least 7 times in a week, then we had a slow week...
Now some were ok, some were too young (and were banned from the store afterwards), and some.... well I wish they had left their clothes on... barf

But any how, if you want that, this is how you can see all you want and more...
