I always smile when I think of you cause you bring a joy to my heart that make me happy, make me laugh and smile and sometimes sad and crying when I dont see you but Im always happy and smiling to know that when Im smiling your smiling too.
Are U single or Taken?!?
amp If so, What makes them so SPECIAL?!? Just curious!!lol!!!
I am VERY taken. I have had the honor and privilege of being married to the same woman for over years. What makes her so special? Well, no matter what we ran into, we struggled through it together. We have always been a team. I know many times she must have wanted to kill me but she didnt ....... I have lways been grateful for that. There were times when she would make me so mad but she was truly my soul mate and there was never a thought given to divorce. We stuck it out and worked it out. We have been through a lot together and always determined that no matter how bad it got, we would stick together and see it through. Now we are at the stage of life when we are like two halves of one person. Neither half would be much good without the other. It is a rare and wonderful feeling to have this kind of realtionship.

Are u afraid of death?
Yes, Im afraid of death. I think that it is instinctive for most living beings to be afraid of death, but for me it is the thought of an unexpected death, the unknown, never seeing my loved ones again, never doing the simple things in life such as enjoying a day in the sun, watching T.V, eating my favourite foods. brbrHowever it seems to me that as you get older you become more acceptant that death is an inevitability, as people around you pass away, you learn that its a part of life. And to be honest by the time Ive lived another years, hopefully Ill be happy about what Ive achieved in my life and Ill be ready for whats next.
Are there people out there who still love the divine MARTHA STEWART?
I am a big....no, a HUGE fan of MARTHA STEWART. I love the woman so much. And, I wanna know if I have fellow fans out there of this Domestic Diva! Please do answer my question......DO YOU LOVE MARTHA STEWART?!
I have very mixed feelings about her. I dont think she is REAL, she was on the View and they were joking around with her and asking if she EVER just throws a micowave meal in after a long hard day and she gave them the meanest quotI would NEVER stoop that lowquot type of response, so I dont think she is real. I think she did prison time because she is a woman. Look at all of the CEOs who are men who have committed financial theft who have not done prison time. A lot have done insider trading and will never go to jail only because they are men. I think she should have been punished for her insider trading, but I dont think the scales of justice are equal for men and woman, so that is my thoughts on that. All in all I dont like her as a person she needs to get off her high horse.

Are kids these days really that stupid?
It seems like all you see from younger kids is asking for homework help. Half of the questions you can tell are from people who havent even opened their textbooks. So, my question is Are they really so stupid that they cant read their textbooks, or are they just that lazy?
Not stupid. Intellectually lazy.brbrIts a product of the information age. I used to spend weeks in some musty courthouse basement looking for information they could google in two seconds.

Apart from diamonds, what do you think will last forever?
Thank you so much for your answers
Good afternoon Prodigal brbrI gave this a lot of thought because most people are answering from their emotions, but human love is finate. I know we feel like it will last forever, we write poems and stories about it, but when one dies, so does the love they had.brThere is an infinate love that will last forever and that is the Divine love of God, at least that is what I believe with all my heart and soul. The universe is not infinate as scientists have said, there are too many uncertainties. The universe is always expanding and contracting. Science theorizes that this is because of the huge black hole we have in our galaxy and the expansion is possible evidence of a white hole, which is invisable. I learned this from Stephen Hawking and The Discovery Channel We all know its only a matter of time before an asteroid or even more than one will hit the Earth and that the sun will one day go super nover and die...so none of these things can be something that will last forever...As I always do with all things regarding the eternal I went to the Bible which is my only resource for such things and this is what it had to say on your question.brbrWord of God. quotHeaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.quot brbrJohn brJesus said to her, quotI am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?quot brbrRevelation brThen I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away ... I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God ... And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, quotNow the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.quotbrbrSo according to my faith and scientific study the only things that will never pass away are the everlasting promises of God and quite possibly the New Earth we will help to create after the old Earth passes away...and then it is said there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain....thats a promise I very much look forward to!brbrThank you for such a good question dearheart.

Anyone know of some good acousticslow alternative rock songs?
Im looking for some sad break up love songs either acoustic or slow alternative rock songs. those kid of songs that you can really relate to and will listen to over and over and hit you the same as like it was the first time you listen to it, not those crappy ones that you download and think its good but dont listen to it much. i dont really like screamo or rap or anything like those kinds. so can you help me???
I know the kind you mean when you say it hits you the same every time, and this is what I would recommend if youre after something slowquietbrbrSnuff by Slipknot is really passionate and meaningful, and its about breaking up with someone. Forget any ideas you may have about how Slipknot sound, though this is different. Slow and soulful.brbrSave Us by Cartel has got some real feeling behind it.brbrWas It a Dream? by Seconds to Mars can get a bit teary if youre in the right mood for it.brbrHello or My Immortal by Evanescence also fit the bill quite well if youre looking for something a bit more mellow.brbrAlso try Vices by Dead Poetic the song not the album.brbrI know you said you dont like screamo but Rough Hands by Alexisonfire has got some real raw emotion behind it if youre in a passionate mood.brbrThats all I can think of at the moment, hope it helps

Anyone else think its hilarious when girls cry?
I know its sad and you should comfort them etc, but I kept help but laugh. Does anyone else have this same occurance?
More than likely you are a person who has been abused, or very psychologically damaged by a woman, probably your mother, or a girlfriend you had bonded with. Your inappropriate response to laugh when a girl cries, implicates that you are in some way invoking some sort of revenge against your original pain. You might consider getting yourself some help in the form of counseling.

Anybody watched the Italian film, quotLife is Beautifulquot?
I watched it the other night and I was wondering if anyone else has seen this great movie and what they thought about it?
I have watched it many times now. It is a wonderful movie. I didnt watch it until after it won all the academy awards. Usually I am disappointed when I do but not this time. To love your child so much that you play an elaborate game and tell him he must play along or lose and be sent home is amazing. l liked the movie better with the English voice over because in Italian you have to read all the lines at the bottom and I got distracted from the movie.
Antonio Banderas or Johnny Depp? Who is the better actor? Who has got better looks?
Im shocked this is even a question. Sure they both are talented in their own ways, however, I think that Depp has Banderas beat hands down in the most popular polls.brbrIn my opinion, Depp and Banderas are equally as handsome Im a guy and a bad judge of these things but in acting, Depp is going to edge Banderas because Depp is an American and so therefore his style of acting is what we would most commonly identify with. Banderas, being from Spain, delivers lines culturally different...but he still rocks.

So whats the big deal about being a human?
Human being is the highest manifest stage in the cosmic life cycle. There is nothing beyond the form of a human being life is expected to go. It is only as a human being that the soul atman within us gets liberated forever from the cycle of birth and death. It is only as a human being one gains enlightenment kaivalya jnana and salvation moksha. Having obtained salvation our soul atman leaves for the abode of God, the kingdom of God aka Baikuntha in Hinduism... a point of no return!brbrWe are born human beings after passing through a cycle of . million manifestations... a long journey indeed! Initially we manifested the form of an insect, then plant life and finally animal life. In the human form also we have . million types of manifestations. The journey in the form of a human being is expected to be covered in . million earthly years... when a human being reaches the stage of enlightenment and finally salvation.brbrIn the cosmic life cycle the total journey of the soul atman within requires . million manifestations on the whole and an earthly life cycle of . million years. What can be more pleasing to a lusting human form that it is only as a human being one reaches the kingdom of God Baikuntha. Being on the highest pedestal of life... we human beings are supposed to take care of all our younger brethren... an insect, plant or an animal.brbrWe human beings have already passed through the stages of insect plant and animal life... why criticize those younger than us!

Someone once said, quotEnlightenment is as difficult or easy as changing your mind.quot..what did they mean by that?
...and how tough could that be?
I think it means that if you are the sort of person that finds it difficult to change your mind about anything, then you will not be open to new ideas that could change the way you look at life.brbrIf you are open to seeing new things and experiencing change, you can grow more spiritually which will lead you to enlightenment.brbrLife is like a jigsaw puzzle the more open you are to all the different shapes and how they fit together the more you will be able to see and fit together quickly.brbrLife is full of choices, and the more open we are to change the more we will learn and grow.

Somebody recommend me a book?
I need a new book, but I havent found anything appealing lately. I love George Orwell, Ive read most of the classics although my favorite novel would have to be The Secret History by Donna Tartt... Not so much the thriller aspect but the Greek history and culture that was intertwined with it.
For some unfathomable reason that last sentence made me want to dance at the edge of a cliff. I am beginning to see why psychologists seem to dislike me. brbrI would suggest Brave New World or Fahrenheit if you havent read them already, mainly because I would suggest them to absolutely everyone. brbrPersonally I love Mercedes Lackey. She writes the best fantasy Ive ever had the good fortune to come across. Other fantasy authors I enjoy include Robin McKinley her book Sunshine is the vampire novel Twilight can only wish it was and Terry Pratchett. brbrIm not a Dean Koontz fan, but my mother is that sounds like a bad joke and I really enjoyed Seize the Night and Fear Nothing by him. Your mention of George Orwell made me think of them. brbrWater for Elephants, The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns are all currently popular books that I personally thought were extremely good. Carl Hiaasen also writes popular literature that I enjoyed recommended to me by my dear old grandmother, who assured me that the sex scenes were absolutely hilarious. I love my family. brbrI hope Ive been of help.

So I want to draw, but I have this problem where I feel I cant learn. What do I do?
Let me explain. I have this feeling that I cant be a good artist becuse I dont have the talent for it. I need to learn from someone. Someone heas to teach me. I think Im not a real wrtist because someone else teaches me how to do it. I know I have the potential to be great, I just feel weird about learning from someone else. Should I just suck it up and try to use online lessons or something?
Well friend, the truth is, most of the best of artists learned from someone, and have taken many classes to learn technique. From that they have used their imaginations and developed their own styles. brbrYou can learn a lot from books as well as classes and apply them to your own style. Hang out with artists, visit exhibits, and you will notice various styles and differences. So, YES, suck it up and create your your own style from your imagination.

So...Is Love, intelligent?
The highest order of intelligence leads to Pure Love which transcends any particular attributes of objects of love in addition to transcending all aspects of self as well. In my considered view, Pure Love is the result of Enlightenment and Enlightenment is the pinnacle of wisdom!!brbrHaving said that, let me quickly confirm that in my view, the love we normally experience is merely an emotion, albeit one that can be kept alive lifelong if nurtured properly....... this is neither Pure nor Intelligent......... it is simply a boon that can suppress our ego on an intermittent mode so as to let us experience happiness during the intervals when it is able to keep our ego under wraps.
So I have failed at everything in life so far. Now what?
No seriously, I really have. I wish I could say that it was due to a lack of effort on my part. But....its not. I just suck.
Excuse me, you managed to get into the Army when you didnt want to. Just imagine what you could accomplish once you actually focused on it and wanted it. Getting in there, is a success. Getting a degree, is a success. brbrMaybe you could compile a victory log which summarises all your successes the ones you would not mind others seeing onto a sheet of A and refer yourself to it often. Dont lower your expectations learn from your mistakes and move on.brbrGet a grip! You are in the Army now so make the most of it. Noone expects perfection but keep striving towards it and become the best damn officer YOU can be. Even if it means two steps forward and then one back.brbrYour soldiers lives may depend on you if you should pull combat duty. Front it out. Nothing destroys the fighting spirit of an enlisted man quite like that seeing his CO is unsure of herself. brbrWhen you finish your tour you can look back and say in clear conscience, quotI did my bestquot and thats all anyone can ask.brbrGodspeed.

Since we have allowed so many immigrants into canada and usa that dont believe in Christmas?

I think Debbie Daniel says it best in an email I received this past Christmas......read on....brbrbrBy Debbie Daniel...brbrIm on a quotMerry Christmasquot mission and Im in full throttle. My little yellow VW Beetle has turned into a Christmas billboard with Merry Christmas written across the back window. Yes, Ive decided to trek off to work everyday on the public highways with a message that seems to offend people.brbrAt stop lights, I even turn my music up a little louder, and to top it off, I sing along with it. Dont I know that stopping at a red light to roll my windows down only to share the joy of Christmas carols on public streets is a NoNo? Dont I fear the Christmas Gestapo and those who would have me remove the written message from my car?brbrIm sorry folks, but the only person Im concerned about quotoffendingquot during this Christmas season is the Lord himself. LEAVE THAT MANGER ALONE! Weve allowed the Baby Jesus to be kicked out of His lowly manger, and those offended by Christmas are still not happy. brbrI refuse to let this happen. Im going to do my part to make sure quotMerry Christmasquot doesnt become extinct. Because like it or not, if the believers in Christmas dont take a stand now, its gone forever.brbrListen folks, the Christian community has been underestimated before we will have to show ourselves again. brbrI walked into a Wendys Restaurant the other day and was rather exuberant with my quotMerry Christmasquot greeting to the manager. He didnt have much of a response and I said, quotWheres your Christmas spirit?quot He said, quotWere not allowed to use the words quotMerry Christmasquot when greeting customers. We can only say quotHappy Holiday.quotbrbrThis morning I grabbed a quick breakfast at a Whataburger Restaurant. I noticed there wasnt a single decoration in the store. I asked the manager why they werent decorated for Christmas. He told me the corporate headquarters decided not to send any decorations to any of their stores, and he didnt know why. brbrAfter I heard about all the Macys and Federated Stores taking down their Merry Christmas signs, the Target stores not allowing the Salvation Army to quotRing the Christmas bells,quot and the many incidents of children, choirs, and bands not allowed to play or sing Christmas carols, I realized it was happening right here in my own little Texas town.brbrHow can this be? Not Texas!brbrWe do, however, have a store, Hobby Lobby, that plays nothing but Christmas carols during the season. On Christmas Day they run a full page ad in our local newspaper. That ad is not to promote the store, but uses the entire page to tell the story of Jesus birth. Now thats taking a stand. We need to thank them.brbrWhen I saw a news report the other evening of children being taught new words to a song weve sung for years quotWe Wish You a Merry Christmasquot I was saddened to hear quotWe Wish You a Splendid Holiday.quotbrbrI know now that its just a matter of time that the quotMerry Christmasquot greetings will be gone. Look around your town. Notice the quotHolidayquot greetings and not quotChristmas.quot Its happening right before our very eyes. brbrStart singing the songs go down the streets of America singing to your hearts content. Get some of those washoff markers that these kids use to write on their car windows when theyre rooting for their hometown football team. Its easy to do, and if a torrential rain washes it off, write it on there again.brbrWeve got to get this message out. quotGo Tell It On the Mountain . . . that Jesus Christ is Born.quot Sing it, speak it, be a billboard for our Lord.brbrThe story of this quotBaby Jesusquot alone has brought about more goodwill at this time of year than any other day we celebrate. How can we sit back and allow Him to be snuffed out of our lives?brbrIs it Jesus, or is it His followers that the quotoffendedquot dont like? What kind of revulsion galvanizes one to campaign so vehemently against the mere mention of His name, the mere singing of a carol, or the mere visual of a sign that says quotMerry Christmas?quotbrbrI can listen to my own boss at work use some of the vilest words and follow up with, quotExcuse my French.quot I may cringe inside at his damning of Gods name, but I tolerate it. So if you dont like me wishing you a quotMerry Christmas,quot Ill say, quotExcuse my joy.quot You may cringe that I celebrate the birth of Jesus, but just tolerate it.brbrI cannot be concerned that quotMerry Christmasquot offends you. If Im not careful, the day will come when saying Im a Christian will offend you. brbrIm offended that youre offended. How about that? brbrWhen we get to a point that we can no longer take part in a tradition we hold dear, we have no choice we either defend that tradition or we give it up to those who say NO. Thats it . . . period. So, which will it be?brbrIm not giving up my quotMerry Christmasquot joy to anyone. If I know of someone that celebrates another holiday during this time of year, I will be glad to wish them whatever holiday they want. Just tell me what it is and Ill shout it to the world and wish you a grand celebration. brbrJust give me Christmas. To you merchants Stop being so hypocritical and quotfilling your tillsquot on the back of Jesus! Who do you think is the symbol of giving at this time of year? It was the wise men bringing gifts to the newborn Christchild. brbrYou want your coffers full, but have ordered your employees to take down all the Merry Christmas signs. If thats the case, Ill buy gifts at a place that understands my joy.brbrIf youre worried about offending someone, you just did. The most recent Newsweek survey shows that of Americans believe that Jesus is the Son of God. So, in trying not to offend a few, youve offended many. brbrIts okay to jump into the quotMerry Christmasquot spirit when it fills your cash register, but lets call it something else . . . and dont stop giving . . . and dont stop buying. . . well just change the name and youll never know the difference.brbrI know the difference and Im feeling it greatly. Its hard not to be aware that townships across our country have actually banned the singing of Christmas carols because it might offend someone. And its not just the religious songs its the secular ones too. No more quotJingle Bellsquot or quotRudolph, the RedNosed Reindeerquot because theyre associated with Christmas. Boy, arent we getting sensitive? brbrIf were not celebrating Christmas for the hope it gives with the birth of our Savior . . . there is no hope!brbrI noticed a few years ago that we changed the name of Abraham Lincolns and George Washingtons birthday so as to be all inclusive regarding the Presidents. Hark, if we should recognize anyone as exceptional. Now its called Presidents Day.brbrWell, if were going to be so all inclusive, next month Ill have to refer to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as Civil Rights Leaders Day. We dont want to exclude great Americans like Rosa Parks or Cesar Chavez, do we? And to think that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton might be left out. brbrWe might need to change Mothers Day, Fathers Day, and Grandparents Day to All Parents Day. Just lump them all together.brbrIt sounds ridiculous, doesnt it? So whats the difference?brbrMy freedom to celebrate Christmas in the tradition of the Christian religion is as much my right as it is your right to be offended by it. So what are we going to do? Did anyone hear me . . . what are we going to do?brbrDo we defend a persons right to go forward with a time tested tradition how about years?, or do we defend a persons right to end it all because theyre offended? As long as we live in this great land and have the freedom to express ourselves and what we believe in, we will always offend someone.brbrIf we try to make everything right for everyone, we wont have anything for anyone. brbrMay you always have Christmas in your heart!
Since we have allowed so many immigrants into canada and usa that dont believe in Christmas?
is it right that they DEMAND that we drop the word Christ from Christmas, Chhristmas Tree, Christ Child, and stop us from decorating any business place for the holiday, simply because their religion disagrees with ours? Should we allow them this control? Should we drop the word Christ to satisfy them?
I think Debbie Daniel says it best in an email I received this past Christmas......read on....brbrbrBy Debbie Daniel...brbrIm on a quotMerry Christmasquot mission and Im in full throttle. My little yellow VW Beetle has turned into a Christmas billboard with Merry Christmas written across the back window. Yes, Ive decided to trek off to work everyday on the public highways with a message that seems to offend people.brbrAt stop lights, I even turn my music up a little louder, and to top it off, I sing along with it. Dont I know that stopping at a red light to roll my windows down only to share the joy of Christmas carols on public streets is a NoNo? Dont I fear the Christmas Gestapo and those who would have me remove the written message from my car?brbrIm sorry folks, but the only person Im concerned about quotoffendingquot during this Christmas season is the Lord himself. LEAVE THAT MANGER ALONE! Weve allowed the Baby Jesus to be kicked out of His lowly manger, and those offended by Christmas are still not happy. brbrI refuse to let this happen. Im going to do my part to make sure quotMerry Christmasquot doesnt become extinct. Because like it or not, if the believers in Christmas dont take a stand now, its gone forever.brbrListen folks, the Christian community has been underestimated before we will have to show ourselves again. brbrI walked into a Wendys Restaurant the other day and was rather exuberant with my quotMerry Christmasquot greeting to the manager. He didnt have much of a response and I said, quotWheres your Christmas spirit?quot He said, quotWere not allowed to use the words quotMerry Christmasquot when greeting customers. We can only say quotHappy Holiday.quotbrbrThis morning I grabbed a quick breakfast at a Whataburger Restaurant. I noticed there wasnt a single decoration in the store. I asked the manager why they werent decorated for Christmas. He told me the corporate headquarters decided not to send any decorations to any of their stores, and he didnt know why. brbrAfter I heard about all the Macys and Federated Stores taking down their Merry Christmas signs, the Target stores not allowing the Salvation Army to quotRing the Christmas bells,quot and the many incidents of children, choirs, and bands not allowed to play or sing Christmas carols, I realized it was happening right here in my own little Texas town.brbrHow can this be? Not Texas!brbrWe do, however, have a store, Hobby Lobby, that plays nothing but Christmas carols during the season. On Christmas Day they run a full page ad in our local newspaper. That ad is not to promote the store, but uses the entire page to tell the story of Jesus birth. Now thats taking a stand. We need to thank them.brbrWhen I saw a news report the other evening of children being taught new words to a song weve sung for years quotWe Wish You a Merry Christmasquot I was saddened to hear quotWe Wish You a Splendid Holiday.quotbrbrI know now that its just a matter of time that the quotMerry Christmasquot greetings will be gone. Look around your town. Notice the quotHolidayquot greetings and not quotChristmas.quot Its happening right before our very eyes. brbrStart singing the songs go down the streets of America singing to your hearts content. Get some of those washoff markers that these kids use to write on their car windows when theyre rooting for their hometown football team. Its easy to do, and if a torrential rain washes it off, write it on there again.brbrWeve got to get this message out. quotGo Tell It On the Mountain . . . that Jesus Christ is Born.quot Sing it, speak it, be a billboard for our Lord.brbrThe story of this quotBaby Jesusquot alone has brought about more goodwill at this time of year than any other day we celebrate. How can we sit back and allow Him to be snuffed out of our lives?brbrIs it Jesus, or is it His followers that the quotoffendedquot dont like? What kind of revulsion galvanizes one to campaign so vehemently against the mere mention of His name, the mere singing of a carol, or the mere visual of a sign that says quotMerry Christmas?quotbrbrI can listen to my own boss at work use some of the vilest words and follow up with, quotExcuse my French.quot I may cringe inside at his damning of Gods name, but I tolerate it. So if you dont like me wishing you a quotMerry Christmas,quot Ill say, quotExcuse my joy.quot You may cringe that I celebrate the birth of Jesus, but just tolerate it.brbrI cannot be concerned that quotMerry Christmasquot offends you. If Im not careful, the day will come when saying Im a Christian will offend you. brbrIm offended that youre offended. How about that? brbrWhen we get to a point that we can no longer take part in a tradition we hold dear, we have no choice we either defend that tradition or we give it up to those who say NO. Thats it . . . period. So, which will it be?brbrIm not giving up my quotMerry Christmasquot joy to anyone. If I know of someone that celebrates another holiday during this time of year, I will be glad to wish them whatever holiday they want. Just tell me what it is and Ill shout it to the world and wish you a grand celebration. brbrJust give me Christmas. To you merchants Stop being so hypocritical and quotfilling your tillsquot on the back of Jesus! Who do you think is the symbol of giving at this time of year? It was the wise men bringing gifts to the newborn Christchild. brbrYou want your coffers full, but have ordered your employees to take down all the Merry Christmas signs. If thats the case, Ill buy gifts at a place that understands my joy.brbrIf youre worried about offending someone, you just did. The most recent Newsweek survey shows that of Americans believe that Jesus is the Son of God. So, in trying not to offend a few, youve offended many. brbrIts okay to jump into the quotMerry Christmasquot spirit when it fills your cash register, but lets call it something else . . . and dont stop giving . . . and dont stop buying. . . well just change the name and youll never know the difference.brbrI know the difference and Im feeling it greatly. Its hard not to be aware that townships across our country have actually banned the singing of Christmas carols because it might offend someone. And its not just the religious songs its the secular ones too. No more quotJingle Bellsquot or quotRudolph, the RedNosed Reindeerquot because theyre associated with Christmas.

Since were the human race, any idea of whos winning?
The people who use their brains to better themselves, and mankind.
Simple question. What has been the most biggest historical moment that has happened in your lifetime?
The Vietnam conflicts escalation and resolution. It changed American politics and the economy. We started to view our presidents differently and our relationship with the press changed a great deal. It also ushered in a new level of divisive politics of fear and hatred. It was an open wound and we really havent recovered from it. It was not a single event, but rather the perversion of our government and its responsibility to the people and it was uncovered. A long and destructive process.

Should we take the Harry Potter books off school shelves just because some do not like them?
Many christians are against harry potter books because of witchcraft.
I have read thousands of books throughout my life time and if I took every book off the shelves that I didnt like, then there would be no Danielle Steele, Harlequin Romances, James Patterson, Stephen King, and many other authors that other people enjoy immensely. if i dont like something because of the way it is written, its content, or the message it sends, I simply put it down and choose another. Book banning is something that ignorants do to shield themselves from having to explain their narrowmindedness.
Should we live each day as if it was the last?
Yes coz one day it wll be !!!!
Should we be judged by our actions or our intentions?
Hegel says that intention is not the true means for judgement, what determines who we are is our actions. However, judgement should not be formed by and digits. Judgement is not a mechanical decision unit. I believe in giving a chance for intentions. Because some factors like capacity, situation, chance might be a hindrance for the intended action.
Should we always LOOK at the BRIGHT SIDE.......?
or sometimes we need to STARE straight at the DARK?
Looking at the bright side is always a positive attitude. Its where the hope and faith shine well than anywhere else. But glancing at the dark is somewhat essential too to get acquainted with lifes scale of balance. Dark sides can supply us with some answers we need so we can handle things more cautiously and can do adjustments or modifications in our plans. brOn the other hand, staring at darkness for a long period of time may impair our vision to recognize reality from absurdity, causing us to totally withdraw from our light side, and submit ourselves to its habitat of danger. brWe cant allow to get stuck in there because if we do, our quotmental bulbquot may not work for us anymore...and our life will be in complete harmony with darkness.
Anyone Else Tired Of The Twilight Series?
I can bet lots of people will read this just because I mentioned Twilight... ha....
How dare you insult my family?brHissbrbrYou are luck that I am not thirsty, mortal. You cant blame your species for loving my family apparently we are sexy beastsbrbrbrEdit turn on my husband? because he was human? You dont make sense. brbrHowever, i DID feel that i would trade anything him included to become human, but after Nessie was born I would never do that. Everything is in perspective now and I am not so selfish. Is that what you were talking about?brbrEdit I really cannot believe that I am continuing on with this madness. However i will calarify things for you. The only reason I was so concentrated on the baby over Bella is purely because Bella asked me to. She wanted to go through with it and no one would support her unless I did. I would want her to do the same for me if she was in my position. Only I could know how important this would be for her and I was always going to help Bella get what she wanted. Honestly If it were me Id want her to do the same for me.
Anyone else find Bella Swan to be...?
The most desperate person ever in the series?
Thats the ONLY reason. brbrIf he were ugly, Im sure she woudlnt even care a thing about him. Infact, shed probably put a restraining order against him for being a stalker. But since hes quotBeautifulquot it changes thing. brbrThats crazp.

Sarah Zettels Camelot series would be absolutely perfect for you, the fantasy is there and the romance is enough to make you swoon! Plot, brothers in King Arthurs court, each a different story.

Plot a young man trying to take over where his father left off with the help of a beautiful young Sunrunner, you have to get these cos they are really excellent!
