seriously, I do prefer women my age or older..more mellowed out usually, and more knowledgeable. And at least when more mature.. you already know what they are going to look like when they get older
I would think it should last long enough to need to stop for a pee break, maybe a soda and bag of pop corn. couple of cigs in between, I have at times even stopped long enough to go shopping and then finish when I got back home.......................
AIMS Its aims are: - To inform without convincing. - To establish the embassy. - To catalyse a society adapted to the future. In the message which they dictated to Rael, which he has now published as a series of books, they kindly bring us a new vision of the universe, which provides us with the keys to awakening our own potential and a series of values to revolutionise society. This new philosophy, where spirituality and science meet, is taught at international seminars on every continent and is the final ingredient necessary to ignite a personal and global revolution of individuality, freedom, love and respect. It is already sweeping the globe and allowing humanity to transform war into peace, labour into leisure, poverty into fulfilment and money into love.
The Raelian revolution is made up of people from all walks of life, everyone different and fiercely non conformist, turning everything they touch into fun and pleasure. Check your old religious writings, check out the latest scientific discoveries, check out the UFOlogical evidence and our bibliography and you will find that they are all increasingly supporting the Raelian Message.
SCIENTISTS FROM ANOTHER PLANET CREATED ALL LIFE ON EARTH USING D.N.A. Traces of this epic masterpiece of creation can be found in all religious writings. It is to them that Moses, Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed referred to. It is now time to welcome them.
WHAT HAPPENED? On 13 December 1973 French journalist Rael was contacted by a visitor from an other planet, and asked to establish an Embassy to welcome these people back to Earth. The extra-terrestrial was about four feet in height, had long dark hair, almond shaped eyes, olive skin and exuded harmony and humour. He told Rael that "we were the ones who made all life on earth, you mistook us for gods, we were at the origin of your main religions. Now that you are mature enough to understand this, we would like to enter official contact through an embassy".
THE MESSAGES The messages dictated to Rael explain how life on Earth is not the result of random evolution, nor the work of a supernatural 'God'. It is a deliberate creation, using DNA, by a scientifically advanced people who made human beings literally in their image" what one can call "scientific creationism". References to these scientists and their work, as well as to their symbol of infinity can be found in the ancient texts of many cultures. For example, in Genesis, the biblical account of creation, the word "Elohim" has been mistranslated as "God" in the singular, but it is a plural, which means "those who came from the sky". Leaving our humanity to progress by itself, the Elohim nevertheless maintained contact with us via prophets including Buddha, Moses, Jesus and Mohammed, all specially chosen and educated by them.
The role of the prophets was to progressively educate humanity through the messages they taught, each time adapted to the culture and level of understanding at the time. They were also to leave traces of the Elohim so that we would be able to recognise them as our creators and fellow human beings when we had advanced enough scientifically to understand them.
THE EMBASSY Now that Man has put his foot on the moon, and our scientists are creating life through the synthesis of DNA, we are finally capable of understanding our creators rationally instead of mystifying and dumbly adoring them. For this reason the Elohim have contacted French journalist Rael. They have asked him to make their final message known throughout the world and to establish an embassy for them where they will officially meet with us and our world governments.
WHY DO THEY NEED AN EMBASSY? They are not invaders. They have shown their desire to come but they respect our choice to say no. It is up to us to invite them - and our invitation is the embassy. It's the least we can do. Without the neutrality of an embassy, free air space and an official welcome, an unannounced and undesired landing would have enormous political, economic and social repercussions with disastrous consequences world-wide. Nor do they wish to endorse any government, religion or ideology other than that of the Raelian Philosophy, by contacting any other institution first.
Thus they will only come when we build their embassy, such is their love and respect for us. Following the extra-terrestrial's instructions, Rael established the Raelian Movement, an international organization to bring together anyone who wishes to help. It is an atheist, non-profit, spiritual organisation; "atheist" because it demystifies the old concept of god, "spiritual" because it links us with our creators and infinity, and "non-profit" because no member gets paid any salary, not even Rael himself. It is a completely open organization designed not to convince people, but to allow those who wish to help, to join or leave anytime.
I did not enter here to argue the Bible. Just the fact that you think you have the right to DEMAND that no one else believe it. And that you have started attacking all of the religious threads.
Just think there are more constructive ways to use a dating site than to make it an agenda to attack others threads for no reason other than they don't agree with your views.

You are lacking in sufficient knowledge regarding communism[/quote]
1.How about discussing what I said..instead of trying to change what I said, I did not say at all what you claim or answered to.
2. What makes you think that you have the right answers? what gives you the right to say what one can or can't believe? or the right to now start attacking any or all religious threads as you have now started doing?
Whats next..... if someone doesn't have the same favorite color as you do.. destroy them for it.. they are an idiot?
CS needs to come up with a new category for some people here "combat"
3. Burning Bibles and making it punishable by death if caught with one.
Maybe everyone that followed Dr Spocks teachings should be put to death??
I have actually read this entire thread, Must say.. even though not strictly a religious person, this still kind of ticked me off. had not replied till now because none had a very well thought out answer.
If a person wants or needs to believe in a God and needs some kind of answers as to what happens to us after death, That is their right and how dare someone else think that they have the right to destroy someone else's beliefs.
Many lives have been helped by the Bible, and many minds relieved...if it helps some.. good for them.
freedom of religion???
Ok, boys and girls..... here at sesame street,, the word for today is "Communist rule"
Woman tased because she didnt hand her license and proof of insurance to the cop in under 10 seconds.??? get real........... how was this any kind of threat to the cop???
4th video..... did police act correctly? the man asked over and over.. what did I do? just because he refused to get on the ground when the cops would not tell him why is not resisting arrest and not a good reason for a cop to risk killing someone.
Video #1.... the man was getting arrested because he would not sign a ticket....... first of all, you do NOT have to sign a ticket. false arrest!!! also, you make it sound like the man was charging back to his car to get a weapon. we was calmly walking back to his car because in this case the cop was acting like an idiot. I agree with him when he ask the cop " what is wrong with you"
With todays small technology....... there should be a video camera in every tazer, Then the exact actions of the one being tazed is recorded. then we have proof........ did this person really need to be tazed?
Would a football team play the game is only 2 players show up on one team?
I think there are times that a tazer is a good idea, but I also think the use of them is abused and gone far beyond what they were intended for.
The electric chair was deem unusable and as cruel and unusual punishment....... and these were used after a conviction.
But cops can use a hand held version on grounds of suspicion?
I don't think dead until proven innocent should be able to fly.
On the other hand..... if someone is stupid enough to run from cops in a car, they are putting many lives at steak, in this kind of situation.....I feel that the cops should be able to do whatever it takes to stop them.
If the perp has a gun.. yes.. clearly the cops pull out guns...
However.. if the perp has a knife, club, tire iron or other less lethal weapon..........then the cops should use a taser first. Tazers are used from a safe distance from a person.
the cop don't have to be in range or a weapon to use a tazer.
Better training and common sense should be used with any kind of weapon.
Maybe another option?? put timers on tazers............ so they can only be shot one time in an hour?
This way a person can only be tazed once, Then if a person is stupid enough to get up and fight again... guns can be used in compliance with the rules.
It is such a tough call, Someone is just dumb to fight Police. On the other hand........ The police has no way of knowing if the person has mental health issues or health problems .
But back to what I said above,,,,,,,,,,,, I don't think a tazer should be used except when the perp has a weapon.
I have seen just how nasty and mean some people can get when drunk or worse yet.. drugs.
or if facing jail or prison time.
the guy I mentioned was wasted and had a record of being dangerous. I feel it was a good call in this case.
but any weapon can be misused.
But I do feel that tazers should ONLY be used in a life threatening situation. and cops that use them for the wrong reason should be charged with attempted murder or at least assault.
I mean hell, if the guy it just fighting but has no weapon........I think the cops are free to use their clubs on him........ not risk killing a person.
RE: PLEASE AMERICANS CHECK THIS OUT
Comes natural...I'm just one of those people that others love to hateAll I can say is... I Hate Haters.
