If your in an American prison and hear "Jesus loves you." That may be a good thing. If your in a Mexican Jail and hear "Hay-Zoos loves you...you've got a problem.

That is funny ... I mean funny.

Would you be OK with someone removing "Jesus'" name from the New Testament?
by Wonderment inwould it be all-right with you if a translator removes "jesus'" name completely from the new testament and replaces it with a substitute, like "master" throughout?.

We have a lot of stress here in the US ....There are too many people being allowed to come in - both legally and illegally.
Long Hair Gal ...
Canadians, correct me if I am wrong, but I understand that you are very welcoming to people to live in Canada. When in Toronto and Vancouver, I feel like I see people from virtually every part of the world, just like New York City. We had a branch office of our company in Toronto. Maybe 35 people worked there. And I would guess the people were originally from at least 15 different countries. Then go to Vancouver, BC. I felt like I was in Hong Kong when I was there. Fantastic city. (By the way, if you like sushi, Sushi Town in North Vancouver, 1227 Marine Drive, is fantastic. It actually shares the building with a McDonalds, so walk in and turn right for McNuggets, left for sushi).
Back to the point, are Canadians less stressed than Americans that ultimately affects their health? If so, why?

Yeah you have to understand the American culture. Our country has a society that is prone to excesses of many kinds.

But I still don't understand how our neighbors in Canada, who have access to the same foods as we do, have average lives 3-4 years longer than we do.

Nothing to be "sorry" about. When I said "many" feel we have the best healthcare in the world, well, take a poll, "many" do. Right-wingers especially feel that way, America is the best this, the best that, etc. without examining the evidence.
Even the word "best" can be meaningless unless it is put into proper context. Ask someone what the best car is. One could argue that it is a Bugatti. If you have a couple of million dollars (or more) to spend and don't mind dropping 20k for an oil change, then that may be the best. Others may say a Mercedes AMG, or a BMW M series while others may say a Toyota Prius.
But I certainly agree that if the "best" is not affordable, then is it really the best? Many factors come into play.

Cuba may have a slightly higher average life expectancy but Cuban people are all poor and not free.
LoveUni ....
I wasn't in any way saying life in Cuba is better than here. Just the opposite. It just seemed strange when looking at the charts how some very poor countries have people living longer than we do here with what many claim is the best medical treatment in the world.

I was looking at the World Health Org. report and it shows the US ranks 37th in the world (tied with Albania) for combined male/female life expectancy. The top 5 were Japan, Switzerland, Singapore, Israel and Spain, all around 83 years. Canada and Australia at 82 and the UK at 81.
But the most wealthy country in the world, the US, was 77.8.
Many say we have the best health care system in the world and have the right to carry guns for protection. So why do we die 3-5 years earlier than European countries? Even Cuba has a life expectancy of 81 years.
Any thoughts?

Food for thought-if it wasn't for the Roman Catholic church would Christianity have faded out into oblivion?
by nowwhat? insince it was the church that put together the bible canon and it was was them that spread the teaching throughout the known world.
thoughts?.

I don't think it would have faded out completely.
It would just be like old reruns of Seinfeld and Cheers that never seem to go away.

I would have no problem with it.
Since Jesus is a Puerto Rican name (pronounced hay-Zoos), why not use a real Jewish name like Sal or Irv ?
Then give it a good Brooklyn accent when you speak it (like Irv = ooooiiivv).
That would be more realistic.

Dealing With Smelly People
by minimus ini can never understand why some people simply stink.they don’t smell themselves??
i knew of certain jws that had to be counseled many times because they refused to regularly bathe, wash their hair or use deodorant.
and it’s not just witnesses.

I'm not sure if it is the person, the TV, the cable box, the remote or whatever, but when I leave Fox News on too long there is an acrid smell in the room. I've tried flushing both toilets and spraying some air freshener in the room but the air still reeks.
Just saying.
