  Ask yourself: why is the Greek economy in such a mess?

  Different cultures have different mentalities. It can be infuriating.

  That Middle Finger

  by prophecor in

  1. social
  2. humour

  thru out history, has there ever been a time when throwing up that middle finger ever meant anything positive?

  me thinks its been universally a bad sign from day one.

  have you ever wondered?.

  Citation from above link:

  the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, "See, we can still pluck yew!"

  Is this also the origin of another popular expression?

  How do they count their hours here?

  Maybe the time logged on divided by the members of the GB?

  Oops. I've just given them 30secs for the month of May.

  It hurts to see one of ours feeling like this D.

  Already, you can see that happiness dosn't lie with jws.

  You do need to seek help from a councelor, as many have said.

  Its scarery, but do it. Its one thing you won't ever regret.

  Good luck, D.

  An interesting citation

  Many pagan religions profaned blood by the way they used it. For instance it has been the view of many in occultic religions in both ancient and modern times that if you would eat animal, or even human, flesh while it was still living you would receive in yourself the strength, or life force, of the thing being eaten. This was the reason why God placed such a restriction on Noah and Israel.

  The bible says nothing about blood transfusions either. Only eating blood is forbidden.

  Thank you for the post. I have a preference, myself, for logical arguements over doctrinal discussions, often left

  over to interpretation.

  How much do you truly believe you would enjoy living in a perfect world? Paradise...

  by stillstuckcruz in

  what sort of conversations could you have in a perfect world?

  i have a hard enough time creating conversation in this world.

  when i need a conversation topic, i might mention a news story, or some problem such as the price of gas.

  Lets take popular conversation starters:

  How are you? (never need to ask that in the new system!)

  Its nice today isn't it? (It will always be nice)

  Have you heard the latest... ( gossipers will be struck dead!)

  what a wonderful day

  by jean-luc picard in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  mrs picard and i have both got the week off, so we have decided to spend the day on the hollodeck.. breakfast in bed, followed by a long walk in the countryside.. not a cloud in view.. salad lunch in the garden ( some of our firsthome grown produce of the year), along with a generous glass of red wine.. then a siesta in the hamack.

  its a double hamack, but mrs picard declined to join me, prefering reading her new novel.. i didnt sleep, but lazily watched the comings and goings of the birds nesting in the trees above my head, the insects, and the sunlight flickering through the leaves.. to top it all, mrs picard has offered to take me out to the restaurant this evening.. if there is a god, i'd like to publically thank him for this wonderful day, and present my excuses for not going out in field service for the last 15 years.. and, in the words of karen carpenter, in one of her songs:.
