Hey, glad you are not biased....oh wait...maybe you just dont know anything about Christianity yourself! Obviously, that is the case because you would understand the Pope is really only an important figure in the Roman Catholic Church.
And I really love how you use the excuse that Christians don't know the bible...it is no different then Muslims with the Koran. The average Muslim does not have the entire Koran memorized, just as the average Christian doesn't have the entire Bible memorized. But, it doesn't mean that either don't know the main and important message that are in it.
I am Orthodox and I can tell you right now, that we have scriptures for basically every aspect of life. The Orthodox Church has prayers that can be said at every hour of every day. So, I too can look at the scriptures and have an answer for each aspect of my life, just like you can.
I am really tired of people like you...that sits there and tells everyone their religion is better, they pray more, their books are right, they know more. Because, if you can make that statement, then you know nothing of other people. People like that just make me sick
Hey Laura! =D hahhahaha Oh...it has, it HAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really can't believe some of the things people have written here.
Here is partly what I think about this subject: The problems between Israel and Palestine will NEVER be solved as long as people continue to allow their emotions to rule. If a solution is to be found, people must step away from their emotions...and concentrate on the problem and the facts. Emotions and Religion can not be involved in the process of solving these problems. To debate who should have that land from a historical religious view is impossible. Because, according to each of the religions, it should belong to them. And then is just a constant argument, whose right and whose wrong. Its a waste time. If there was such a clear and easy answer, this problem would have already been solved.
Its time people start to look at the problems in a different way.
Democracy and freedom are two different things. Democracy does not mean freedom, and freedom does not mean democracy. Freedoms in a democracy are granted when the majority of the people support and want it.
There is no such thing as completely freedom to do anything you want. It is impossible. There will always be some sort of regulation. In the US an individual person can not own a nuclear weapon. They have an Constitutional Amendment that guarantees the right to bear arms. But, the majority of people would agree that a nuclear weapon is not something an individual should own. However, one could make the claim their freedom is being attacked because they are not allowed to have one. "Why should someone tell me I can't have one?" It is the same argument, just with a different item. So, you can see there will always be some kind of regulation in a democracy, because the majority of the people support this regulation, and that is what a democratic society is, is a government for the people.
The single biggest flaw of the United Nations, is the veto power of the security council. In a sense the veto power was installed to protect the minority, but in fact it does not. It merely only protects the policies of Russia, USA, France, China, and UK. If the veto power did not exist, the United Nations would be able to make more of a difference. Perhaps then, they would be able to use stronger wording in resolution, and make them more binding. For example, most resolution that approach conflicts or potential conflicts, use such wording as "Strongly suggests", "urge", "recommend". So, they are merely suggestions. Well, the United Nations has a lot of problems, but the biggest is the veto power, and as long as there is a veto power, there is not much hope in actually fixing the other problems of the UN.
I do not think you were rude. You did tell him in advance that you were waiting for a phone call. Then, when you got the phone call, you sent him a message (which he got) to inform him that you were talking to your brother, and even while talking you sent a second message (in case he didn't receive the first). Then, after the phone call you still asked if he wanted to go out that evening. So, in that case, you were very considerate and kind to him. You actually probably gave him more attention then most people would. I think a lot of people would have just sent one message to cancel, and not have sent a second to check. And after the call, most people would have probably apologized for the canceling plans, but wouldn't have offered to still go out that night. So, seems like you are very kind and a good person.
Obviously he was upset that the plans did not go how he wanted. And obviously he didn't take you seriously or care about your situation, because if he truly did, he would have understand the moment he got the first text message, and either he would have accepted the invitation to go out later (for the drink or so) or he would have worked on getting another date set up.
So, forget about that guy and he was very wrong. You are not rude. And you did nothing wrong.
Cool, well best of luck to you! I was going to go to OCS, but found out I had a moderate leaking heart valve So, I didn't get to go unfortunately, and I was going for combat infantry. I later wanted to try for Force Recon.
hate to say it, but if she didn't bother to contact him knowing his situation, then she probably lost her feelings for him. Maybe she found someone else...anyway, asking this question isn't going to give him an answer that will make him happy. Maybe she was protecting her own feelings, either way, his feelings didn't come first to her.
well, that is hard. As a his friend, there might not be really anything you can really say to cheer him. This is a case of his heart breaking, so only he can fix it. As a friend, just be there for him, and let him know you are there for him. The break up came at a hard time, and now he has two negatives going for him, so you got to help him out by showing him the positives. Make him get out and do somethings that would make him happy (dont try to hook him up with another girl or something) But do things that can get him to just enjoy life again. For example, if he likes to bowl or go out for dinner, go bowling, go to dinner...Show him that there is still a reason to go on, and that its not the end of the world for him.
