this questions was asked to miss alabama in the 1994 miss u.s.a. contest.
her response was: "i would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why i would not live forever.".
my view.
I would only choose to live forever if it were proven that extraterrestrial civilizations existed and interstellar travel was a reality.
Two hundred thousand years down the road, if I were still cooped up on this planet, I'm sure I'd be bored to death with petting lions and having done everything there was to do countless times. I'd probably go insane and/or commit suicide.

tom green, the convicted polygamist in utah, is requesting (through his lawyers of course) that the supreme court overturn his convictions based both on the supreme court ruling on the texas sodomy law and the massachucetts supreme court ruling on gay marriage.. so begins the trip down the slippery slope.
Yes, the Mid-East does indeed have polygamy...they also stone you to death for adultery.
The simple solution: Marry the person you plan to commit adultery with and add them to your harem.

it's not that "gay marriage" will lead to the downfall of society...rather...that if we allow gay marriage...then polygamy is also ok...and making a twist...if a 13 year old girl in Florida can have an abortion without parental consent...then why can't she also marry...even if it's with a 46 year old?
Yeru, if the gay marriage issue is so supposedly intertwined with the polygamy issue, please explain to me why many Middle Eastern and African nations accept polygamy as normal -- even government and religion sanctioned -- while homosexuals in those countries are tortured and often brutally executed?
I have known a number of gay couples that are in commited loving relationshi[ps. Why anyone would want to deny them the right to marry is beyond me.Destroy the sanctity of marriage? You've got to be joking. The "sanctity" of marriage is destroyed by lies, cheating, beatings, abusing you children, lack of emotional support, emotional abuse and a number of other things I can't think of right now.
When people are "good" people it doesn't matter if they are the same sex or not.
Sphere, Brilliant! Thank you! I couldn't have said it more eloquently.
For those of you who have not seen it, here is an essay I wrote some time ago regarding what the Bible does and does not say about homosexuality: http://www.gayxjw.org/bible.html
Jesus said very little on the subject matter
Actually, Jesus said nothing on the matter.

And when some psychotic with a few extra dollars to spare on an attorney decides he would like his name in the tabloids by trying to get marriage to space aliens (or to the corpse of Elvis) legalized, it will also be the fault of the gay community, right Yeru??
i have been recently surprised on this forum to discover members who do have some affiliation or connection to their first nations/aboriginal heritage.. i live in canada, and my maternal grandmother's father was mi'kmaq (nova scotia).
my paternal grandfather's mother: mi'kmaq as well.. i think it's interesting, discovering all these wonderous connections to the places we come from.. for those not living in north america, where indigenous peoples reside ie: new zealand, australia, south africa and south american nations, have you discovered any family lineage leading you aboriginal peoples?.
just curious.
Ray,
I don't personally have any aboriginal connection (I'm half Italian and half Eastern European Gypsy), but I do have two friends, one in New Brunswick and one in Nova Scotia, who are both full-blooded Mi'kmaq. They've taught me a great deal about their culture and even allowed me to participate in some of their ceremonies, the most memorable being the use of a smudge-stick for spiritual healing. A fascinating culture, to be sure!

yes have you ever honestly, had jehovah ansure your prayer in a way that told you it was from him and not some trick of a wanting heart?
The only prayer I've ever had answered was, not to Jehovah, but to Gladys the Goddess of Parking Spaces:
"Hail Gladys, Full of Grace,
Help me find a parking space."
Works every time!
