Great thread. All my thoughts have already been expressed. Money, politics and especially religion have divided humans since the beginning of time.

We talk a lot about conditional friends on here
by cappytan inso, when people post about being shunned by their friends, i've heard several posters say things like, "their friendship is conditional.
real friendships aren't conditional.".
i'm sorry, but that just isn't really true.. if you and i were friends, there are conditions.

"Old Man of the Mountain" was a jagged profile of a man's face jutting out from the side of Cannon Mountain in Franconia, New Hampshire. It collapsed in 2003.

Has anyone tried using gold and metal detectors?
by EdenOne ini'm thinking about trying out a new hobby.
in my country there are plenty of places that are geologically suitable for the presence of gold nuggets.
in fact, several gold mines have been historically explored from the days of the romans until present day.. at the same time, i love archaeology and history and there are many possible unexplored archaeological sites near me that might merit a superficial survey.

I've always wanted to buy one and try it.
Like Disposable Hero said, bottle digging is fun, too. I remember when I was in junior high school I found an old 19th century dump that was exposed by the side of a lake by erosion. I used to go there every day after school and dig up old medicine/spirits bottles and sell them at the antique shop. My parents never gave me any allowance, so it was a great way to make some pocket money.

Stephen King. He provided so many laughs and good distractions through his books during some tough times in my life. No other author can keep you on the edge of your seat like he can.
Harrison Ford. What an amazing man.
Fred Franz. Just kidding!

I'm not religious I'm spiritual?
by Joliette inhow do you guys feel when you hear people say this?
whenever i tell people that i'm not religious, a humanist, they said i'm not religious either, i'm spiritual.
i consider myself to be a humanist, and i can't tell you guys how happy i am being a humanist.

I consider spirituality to mean self sacrifice. To put aside selfish desires and focus on what one can do for the greater good of humanity and the planet. A spiritual person tries to make the world a little better than it was when he first came into it. I consider myself to be a humanist as well. -

The universe is violent. Nature is violent. Most living organisms are aggressive and violent. Man's gods are violent. The bible is full of violence. So-called perfect spirit creatures battled and waged war with each other. Our role models that we created for ourselves were a reflection of us. Is there any wonder why there is so much violence and killing amongst humans? We merely reflect the universe we live in. I wish it weren't so.
