This is ALL made up but conversation is possable and in some cases has happened*


A woman was walking down the jalan when she saw a man Membaca the bible.


Woman:Why are anda Membaca that?

Man:*looks up* Because I'm Christian

Woman:Why are anda Christian?

Man:*shrugs* Because God is the creator of all things.

Woman:*smirks* Oh really? Are anda sure about that?

Man:*nods*

Woman:*sits seterusnya to him* What about bananas? They are made sejak people.

Man:They are?

Woman:*nods* And our words, are the words we speak to communicate to one another made sejak him?

Man:No, but when I ment created all things I ment...

On July 11th, fox News' Kelly File featured a focus group to talk about the Dallas Shootings, Protests, Black Lives Matter, Obama, Race and more. This was in direct response to increasing tensions between the police and specifically the Black US population. If anda know anything about me, anda probably know how important I believe it is that people keep talking in a constructive manner in order to come to real solutions. This is why I do not like hypocrisy when it comes to tolerance. I just happen to believe in beating api, kebakaran with water, not with lebih api, kebakaran as I believe it only fuels it and makes...

note: i put the word arab in quotations when i say -israeli "arab", and "palestinian"- on purpose. you'll see why when anda read your way to the last myth

Also tell me if anda spot spelling and/or grammar errors in this


Myth 1:“The Jews have no claim to the land they call Israel.”

fact:When the jews were kicked out the holy land sejak the romans, the romans weren't able to kick all of them out. also some jews did return to their utama sometime after the diaspora. when the muslim empire conquered the holy land, it wasn't jew-free. many of the jewish people there mixed in the conquering arabs. then...

We have a lot of problems in our world. Some issues are things that would be prevalent no matter what. But I firmly believe that the main cause of the majority of problems in our world is human closed mindedness. Think of how many issues we could avoid if we could just open our minds to other ideas, and think how much lebih advanced we could be. Here are a few examples of issues that could be avoided if we could open our minds to other ideas.

Racism
There are many people who hate a group of people just because their skin is a different colour than their own. But really, if anda think about it,...

This artikel details the arguments supporting the position that "mechanical pencils are better than wooden pencils" in the link, in order to ensure that arguments are not repeated and also for the audience to keep track of the arguments and their counters. This artikel was last updated on 8 April 2008.

The arguments come in two forms: arguments for the superiority of mechanical pencils, and arguments for the inferiority of wooden pencils.

Mechanical Pencil Superiority

Argument: Less time, effort and equipment to keep mechanical pencils sharpened.

Argument: Mechanical pencils come with a clip to...

1.I'd really rather anda didn't act like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou keldai when describing my noodly goodness. If some people don't believe in me, that's okay. Really, I'm not that vain. Besides, this isn't about them so don't change the subject.

2.I'd really rather anda didn't use my existence as a means to oppress, subjugate, punish, eviscerate, and/or, anda know, be mean to others. I don't require sacrifices, and purity is for drinking water, not people.

3.I'd really rather anda didn't judge people for the way they look, atau how they dress, atau the way they talk, or, well, just play nice, Okay?...

I ask this soalan because I was rereading Plato's Euthyphro today and was reminded of the homosexual argument. For those of anda unfamiliar with the dialogue, let me summarize here. For the full dialogue, please link.

In the dialogue, Socrates points out plenty of flaws in Euthyphro's reasoning of what piety is. I highly recommend it, especially for logicians. The argument can be summed up as this (and I'm paraphrasing).

Socrates: What is piety?
Euthyphro: Doing as I am doing (Prosecuting my father for murdering someone).
Socrates: Ah, but that's not an answer, it is an example of piety. What...

Are our “work hard” North-American ideals leading us to an oh-so-capitalistic meaning of life? I was having a discussion with someone the other hari and oddly enough the issue of the meaning of life came up. This got me to thinking, from such an early age we are put into schools, what is the purpose of going to school? To learn, well that may be so, but the sole purpose of this learning is so that we can get into a good University, get a well paying job and be successful. So essentially, as a Western civilization our meaning of life is to work hard and make as much money as we possibly can....

They exist. We all know that.
From the moment we begin to get online, we are warned sejak adults and teachers of what we are not to do:
*don't tell people your real name
*don't use your nickname
*don't tell people where your from
*don't tell your age
*don't tell your gender
*don't talk to anyone too old

The senarai goes on and on.
Why?
Because there are people who get some sick pleasure from mentally-and eventually physically-screwing around with teens and kids, hoping to get an easy lay; maybe even kill the child.
I understand playing it safe; I myself try to be careful.
But there are older men and women...

    In most people’s minds, April 8th 2002 was a hari like any other. But on that hari ray Krone was released from death row in Arizona. DNA evidence had proven him innocent of the 1991 murder of a bartender in Phoenix. Mr. Krone was special because he was the 100th person released from death row since 1973 after new evidence had proven him innocent (“A soalan of Innocence”). Throughout many years, the death penalty has been a controversial issue that calls into soalan a number of factors. The death penalty is ineffective at deterring criminals, keeping costs down...

So being as math is the bane of my existence right now and I've finally snapped and nothing is left of my motivation in regards to math but a manifestation of pure rage and anger I am going to rant lebih about how much I hate math. I have grown to hate it so much that I am now putting effort and energy into my hatred of it. So I will now continue my venting and raging about why students shouldn't have to suffer like so.That berkata parts of this are going to be taken from my komen over on my 'is math necessary' poll.

So being as pahit about math as I've grown to be, I've done quite a bit of research...

Just kidding. Below are a few soalan I’ve attempted to answer about the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC). This isn’t formal research, just a few points that I believe need to be brought to attention.

What is this ‘Westboro Baptist Church’ anda speak of?
The fine folks at Wikipedia have summarized that in far fewer words than I ever could have, so if anda are unfamiliar with the WBC, I would suggest Membaca the first paragraph link.

How does a church from Kansas have enough money to send members to protest all over the US?
Since the WBC classifies itself as a church, they are not required...

Imagine that anda are in a boat. There are other people in your boat. There is also one person in the water. Allowing this person to get onto your bot will not sink the boat. Everyone could easily fit comfortably. But still, there is a person in the water.

Now, if this person was only in the water for a short time, then yes, saying, "Hey, guys, lend me a hand onto your boat?" is probably exactly what she would do. But imagine this person has been in the water for hours. And imagine that it was other people in the bot that pushed her in there. Not you, of course. anda didn't push her in. But...

Censorship is probably my kegemaran thing to Debat about. So I wanted to type an artikel about the issue.

For one it's super annoying. The obnoxious beeping mid-verse in some songs is really irksome to listen too. Small pauses aren't as bad, but still. Censorship can really ruin a good song. As for TV I understand it lebih with censoring anatomy should children be watching (I'll address that in a minute) but censoring the finger atau words that characters/people say on TV follows the same thing as above the bleeping is annoying and the finger, I personally don't take offense to it.

About the whole...

I bet those conservatives out there were thinking that I'd forgotten all about them! Not true! In fact, I have been doing extra research over the last few days to fully get the feel for each candidate still in the running.

If anda missed my artikel on the link, I assure anda it's a good, solid, and fair assessment of each candidate

In the last article, I joked about Donald Trump, and berkata that I would probably not be very respectful when discussing him, on account of he's a giant tool. Well, I can't make any promises about how it's presented, but I vow to present accurate information about Donald...

There has been a lot of discussion around the topic of abortion lately, partly influenced sejak baru-baru ini political gaffes sejak republican senators concerning the concept of abortion in cases of rape.

Let me just say that I am pro-choice. I am not pro-choice because I hate Bayi atau children, atau because I believe a fetus isn't a living thing. Maybe that makes me worse, because I Cinta children. I Cinta children so much, I invested in them sejak choosing a career in nurturing them and their minds and helping them grow. I recognize that even if we quibble about the specific definition of where life begins,...

Should projects involving eminent domain require citizen approval?

No, projects involving eminent domain should NOT require citizen approval.

I think that when anda let people have input in cases where eminent domain is being used, anda undermine the use of eminent domain.
Eminent domain should only be used when it benefits the public good. Undermining that rule would damage the public good. Like stated before, people hardly think about the public good when it is about their own stuff.

People are often emotional in these cases: they want to keep their property even though they get a just compensation....

This artikel is, perhaps, mislabled, as there are several ironies concerning the American political party system. But I want to focus on a major one, an amusing one, really, and that is the difference between a party's economic politics and its social politics.

When asked what the main difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party is, the answer that comes is simple enough. The democrats believe in big government, and the republicans believe in small governent. That is to say, democrats would want the government taking care of anda at all times whereas the republicans would...

Part of me feels that America didn't vote for Barack Obama, not for his ideas nor his charisma. When America voted Obama, they were above all voting democrat due to the current economical situation in the US.
Although the tinjauan-tinjauan told us that Obama was in the lead, one might have still predicted Mccain as the final outcome.
As previously an African American president was unheard of. Even his predicted outcome in the tinjauan-tinjauan failed to convince me, believing that Obama like so many other black political figures in America would suffer the 'bradley effect'.
This would lead many to the conclusion that...

Today (February 5,2008) I got into an arguement with one of my teachers. She saw that I was Membaca "An Inconvienent Truth" sejak Al Gore. She scoffed. And like always between her and me, we got into an arguement. My teacher claimed that Global Warming hasn't been scientifically proven. She berkata that whether she believes in Global Warming atau not, she would never believe the words of Al Gore. At that moment I wanted to say "F**k you!" but like I'm supposed to, I went off to my locker since the loceng rang.
In our society today, there's always people who decide not to believe though the evidence...
