I agree! There are probably hundreds of lurkers. I know one personally who is an elder and friends of my family. He knows all but is against the wall. If he comes forward, he loses his whole family. But he could post something here...

I remember growing up preparing for the number 2 talk and reading over the verses. One time I had a chapter in Joshua to read. I started reading and I was like "WTF? God wanted to kill thousands of children and babies and animals but keep the "virgins?" Yeah, ok.
I was only 12 at the time but I got it. It was apparent to me this was not inspired by "God."
If you have 30 minutes, watch this 3 part serious. And get ready to wet yourself.

Steve I'm not sure what you are trying to say. Yeah in the real world you have to sometimes chose between the lesser of two evils. -

Hi Uni I'm not sure what you mean. Why?
All I know is here is what Islam is, as told by a current Muslim. A friend posted this on Facebook today. This is an eye-opener of epic proportions to all the supporters blindly accepting thousands more of them into our countries.

Hi Dagney well I can give you some advice about sat internet. Satellite is good for watching TV and not much else because the ping time is so slow. Its super annoying. Yeah you can get great speed once you are on the site but the delay to call the website takes forever in internet time and most of them have limited bandwidth and data so don't expect to stream more than 10Gb per month or you will have to pay twice. I know because my parents had a winter cabin up in Maine out in the sticks and only satellite internet was available and Magic Jack won't work well with it either. There was a small diner on the main road about 2 miles away and I was able to use their wifi because they're friends of the family. I used a wifi boosting antenna and had great speed.
In the city the options are also kind of limited by the building you live in. My building has only Verizon and if you want Time Warner you have to pay for the install. So far I have no complaints with Fios with all of us using it at the same time and streaming HD movies it is no problem. Nobody every looks at these costs in terms of years like I do so it adds up fast. We are nothing but slaves really. My friend lives in SoHo and he pays nothing for the internet. He simply logs into Starbucks and Walgreens for free for each device and he says it works ok. His company also pays his cell so he pays nothing. Cheap bastard!

Seeking advise on going to college/university
by joe134cd inhere is the current situation of an acquaintance of mine.. age early 40s.
currently lost her good paying job.. managed to find another reasonably quickly.
although be it with not good money but with the possibility of been able to take an adult apprenticeship which would increase her pay over time.. she is also looking into going to university in the new year.. here is the question i have bearing in mind the above scenario.

There are many things to consider. I don't have all the facts but I'd say at her age going to college is going to set her back financially in more than one way and the time to recover that will be pushing her in her 50's.
I didn't go to college because I got connected through networking and was forced to grow up early when my parents kicked me out. All things considering I'm doing quite well. It's the cost of living in NYC that is holding me back from saving. But my advice to her would be to consider her current position and if there is room to move up then she should stay. Hope this helps eventhough I ain't much to go on.
