If we could all learn that it's generally imprudent and unreasonable to use the terms "literal" and "bible" in the same sentence when referring to eachother, these discussions could be avaoided alltogether.
I'm just sayin'.

What do you belive happens to us after we die?
by Singing Man ini was raised a jehovah's witness and like most are aware, they presently belive that by and large everyone who dies ceases to exist.
i accepted this fate for most of my life and i guess i still do for the most part, but now that i do not go to the meetings what am i to accept death to be, as i will die as well as my friends and family at some point.
i think that idea of being in gods memory made sense to me as i have excepted it for forty five of my fifty years of being alive.

I think it's the ultimate form of hubris to declare a steadfast position about something that no one can know with any certainty.
I'm secure enough in my ignorance of what comes after death (seeing as I've never died, and all) to admit that I don't know what happens after we die. I have some ideas, a few wishes about what happens when our lives end, but I just don't know. And, since death is inevitable, I suppose that I'll find out someday. Or not, as the case may be.

I just finished "Stiff-The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" by Mary Roach. Absolutely fascinating book on the history of, and current practices in, the use of human cadavers. I know it sounds ghoulish, but it was actually a very well written, incredibly informative, and full of appropriate humor. I highly reccomend this book.
I'm am in the middle of "The Language Police" by Diane Ravitch which details the censorship of literature used for standardized testing and text-book/educational materials. Reccomended.
In less academic reading, I have an affinity for what my husband calls the "popcorn mystery novel", and am reading Jan Burke's latest: "Nine".

In general, I could watch Kevin Spacey or Emma Thompson read out of the phone book and enjoy it.
I also enjoy Vincent D'Onofrio, love Jodie Foster's work, and think that Tom Hanks' everyman appeal is totally underrated--the man has been the central figure in some of the most glorious moments on film, even if some of them were only a few seconds long.

.A question for the guys about VASECTOMIES!!!

As with any life-changing decision, as long as you have ALL the information (pro and anti) available to you, and you use it to discern which choice is appropriate for you, you'll make a decision you can live with.
Just make sure you've done all the research and are willing to take the risks associated with the procedure along with knowing and anticipating all the benefits. Many men have absolutely no problem after their vasectomy with decreased pleasure or diminished sex-drive. Then again, a significant percentage of men do.
For my husband and myself, it was an unacceptable risk. But that is, of course, a personal decision. Best of luck!

I'm 27% geek plus change.... Total Geek.
Which is fine with me, that's about how I'd assess my geek v. non-geek ratio.
I was mildly surprised that they had my collection listed in the "I collect" section. (I collect cheap, plastic souvenir location snow globes--and I have stingent guidelines as to what is acceptable for entrance into my collection. That alone merits me the title of at least 'geek')

Words you invented, or said the wrong way
by JH indo you have your own way of saying things, your own words for describing things?
for example, i don't say alzheimer disease, i say old timers disease.
why not, usually only old people get that.

Until the age of about 15 I used the word "philanthropist" when I meant to say "philanderer".
It got me some strange looks when I would call someone a 'philanthropist' with derision when discussing their accomplishments or character.

John Mayer Stinks
by Oxnard Hamster ini can't stand the guy or his songs.
his voice is grating.
what's worse, my local radio station plays one of his songs like every 15 minutes, and every other station is either country or classical music.

My husband has a nearly pathological aversion to John Mayer. Whenever "Your body is a wonderland" is played he does a werewolf-like transformation and raves about his poor enunciation and vocal control. It's kind of disturbing, really.
I'm ambivalent. I think his first single was catchy, but I'm not going to be tossing my panties on stage at him anytime soon...
