Debate & Discuss / LIFE

« on: May 23, 2011, 07:34:50 pm »Message ID: 357658

Why has my life been so full of events?
When can I stop to remove all the dents?
The dents life has made in my mind are so deep...
But the dents in my heart are what make me weep...
Elisheva

What has knocked you down in life? have we learned to overlook the faults of others?
It is easy to over look others when we have been threw lifes heartaches.

Gossip is like mud thrown on a clean wall. it may not stick but it always leaves a dirty mark. The WORD tells  us clean water & dirty water can not come from the same fountain. We should always think before we speak for none of us know what shoes our neighbor is walking in.

Debate & Discuss / RELATIVITY TO TRUTH

« on: May 08, 2011, 06:30:21 am »Message ID: 350558

What is truth today? We always get ourselves in to a predicament when we choose to make decisions relative to anything other than truth... We all need a standard to live by, a compass if you will. This brings direction in a world of complex choices. Even life after death depends on our choices we make relative to truth in this life.

Debate & Discuss / SHAME - a feeling or a state of being?

« on: May 08, 2011, 06:18:55 am »Message ID: 350549

What causes shame? None of us are immune to shame. like cancer, it is just part of our society and to often we fail to recognize the symptoms. It is painful and often attaches who we are to what we do, what we have or how we look. When we are ashamed, we must seek within to ask what the root cause of our shame is? Do we feel we do not measure up? Meassure up to what? Someone else's perspective?
We were all created by GOD for a specific purpose and when we fully find what our purpose it, we will be happy.

Debate & Discuss / ADVICE - WHO DO WE BELIEVE

« on: May 08, 2011, 06:13:01 am »Message ID: 350543

Advice is like snow, the softer it falls, the deeper it sinks. We must seek the wise to take advice from. When we believe in nothing, we fall for anything.

Suggestions / REFORM

« on: April 19, 2011, 06:30:40 am »Message ID: 341973

Winds of reform blow across America. Instead of the America flag being honored, we are seeing various flags with both political & material messages advancing upon the Land of the Brave & Home of the Brave. Many of our fathers, brothers, sisters & friends have fought for the freedoms we have and shed their blood. Many have given the ultimate sacrifice.
Have we been to lax in our desire to offer "TO MUCH FREEDOM" to those who come in and change our Country?
What is our answer?

Suggestions / GOVERNMENT V BUSINESS

« on: April 19, 2011, 06:24:58 am »Message ID: 341970

How many of us believe government is our answer? Or business leaders?
In September 1900  when the tital wave came at Galveston out of the Gulf of Mexico
that killed 1 out of ever six persons the municipal government sank into confusion
while the business leaders stepped in with a new charter that replaced the mayor and
rebuilt the city.
What about Katrina in New Orleans in 2005? Portions of the City are still living in a 3rd world
condition. It was left to government...

Suggestions / THE SIERRA CLUB

« on: April 19, 2011, 06:18:32 am »Message ID: 341966

What are the goals of the Sierra Club? Founded by naturalist John Muir to preserve wilderness in its natural state. No one can live on it? Is this a government grab to take the lands? What branches of government have branched from this effort?

Suggestions / SLUMS & TENEMENTS

Why do people choose to live in the large over crowded cities? So much land available? the country is peaceful.

Offers / CONSTITUTION

« on: April 11, 2011, 06:22:49 pm »Message ID: 338708

can anyone tell me what the constitution says? I wonder at times it if is still effective? I think politicians use it when it makes their point, but disregard it if it stands against a political move they desire to see. Where are the Statesmen of yesterday? When making sure the Country was safe was important. It just seems to me to be a big game where there are mostly lining their pockets.

Off-Topic / SUCCESS - How do we get it?

« on: April 09, 2011, 01:00:25 pm »Message ID: 337764

Is Success judged through the eyes of others? Is it living big & wide even if we are unhappy?
Or just being satisfied with life, whether it is on the mountain top deep in the woods
or in the pent house with many lovers, fine cars, working everyday waiting for the week end?

Off-Topic / Womens rights

consider this:  In 1918 Leona Currie scandalized a New Jersey beach with a bathing suit cut above her knees. And to irk the establishment even more, she smoked a cigarette. Leona Currie was promptly arrested. How she would smile today if she were around.

Debate & Discuss / Idealism

« on: March 09, 2011, 03:17:20 pm »Message ID: 324349

Idealism about the 'people power' revolution in Egypt are really quiet about these attack on and murders of Egyptian Christians. So does that mean they consider it a small price to pay? Christian blood has become very cheap in the diplomatic quest for relations with Islamist nations.
