actually, there are a couple references to Papacy. One of them is when Jesus makes the miracle where his disciples pull a giant load of fish on a day when few fish came (forgot bible reference, sorry!). Peter (who later became the first pope) hauled the net of fish, 157 in number. at the time, there were 157 known countries in existence. Then Jesus said "I will make you fishers of men". Peter didn't seperate the fish "ok this tuna is protestant... throw him back. Hmm... a Lutheran salmon? To hell with him! Ah a Catholic bass! I shall put this on my mantle!" This entire part of the gospel symbolizes that Peter and future popes would unite all nations, which is exactly what the current pope ISN'T doing.

Know the movie "Finding Nemo"? Spell Nemo backwords. You get "omen" *Gasp* NEMO IS THE DEVIL! :ohnoes:

I really hate emos who make a public display of their emo-ness (heh, i made a word!). Ok, go stay alone in your house, listening to whatever music, crying for 6 hours. I don't really care about their problems. They think their lives are ruined because they lose their girlfriend or some other incident. Tell them to take a trip to africa. There's a sad story around each corner. some kids there know very well they will probably not live long enough to even have a girlfriend, and some are dying slowly and painfully due to disease. some have lost everyone and everything they ever knew and have nothing left to their name. They live in a world of suffering, but do they go emo? It really ticks me off to see people act "emo". Their lives aren't ruined. They just lost one of their many conveniences in their spoiled rotten lives and think the world is coming to an end because of it.

Fave theme parks are Universal Studios and Disney world. Fave ride are the rockin roller coaster (0-60 mph in under 3 seconds!) and the Hulk in Universal studios. That ride was fun. Usually, roller coasters take you up slowly to the top, then shoot you down. On the hulk, it surprised everyone because instead of riding slowly to the highest point, it went up slowly about halfway then shot upward at high speed. I didn't know it was coming so it was quite fun!

Yea, its a fun prank to pull. You can change the default Google homepage to the leetspeak, and i plan to do it to my classroom computer :D

1. Who said HE let the world go bad? we could have stopped it. Global warming, terrorism, racism, etc. it can all be stopped. problem is all we do is make pickit signs and start Live earth concerts to raise awareness. yea, we are aware of the problems. but do we get off our lazy butts to do anything about it? 2. watches you in the shower? why should you have anything to hide from god? he created you. he knows you inside and out. He's not some fat, 40 year old perv. He's the all-knowing father, doctor, parent. Parents have seen you unclothed. so have doctors. why should you make a big deal over the fact that he watches you?

I usually don't. I admit, its hypocritical of me. Why should anyone pray to their god only when in need? I do pray in thanks occasionaly, but probably not enough. It wouldn't be fair of me to get a miracle whenever i beg, while there are some who dedicate their lives to god and are much more deserving of the miracle. Thats one of the problems in society. they only pray when in need. We seldom hear from the common person "Lord, thanks for a wonderful day, that i have a life i can enjoy." ever hear someone praying befoere eating a meal at a fancy restaurant? i didn't think so. But of course, all over the place there's "lord, help me win the lottery. lord, help my home team win the football game. lord, help me get good grades." This in turn leads to stereotypes against several religions "how do christians believe in god when their prayers aren't answered?". The answer? hypocrites are the cause.

Heh, kind of ironic that mexico has a richer person than the US, consider the immigration issues between the two countries :lol:

I'm surprised to see the number of people who believed USA or england would be first. yea, i havent heard of nauru either. know why? its probably a tiny little island with low population. one fat person counts as a lot more in the percent than one of the millions of people in USA or england.

Its stupid because out of all the reasoning he gave none of that could happen through masturbation. Seriously, its a stupid argument to bring up and shouldn't have been even brought into the discussion in the first place. errr...difference between night and day anyone?? as saturday night live said "safe sex is in your hands! sex can wait, masturbate!"

I went to subway and bought a sandwich. i only had a 10 dollar bill, so i handed that to the cashier. the change was 5 dollars and some coins. She handed me a 1 dollar bill. Waited 10 minutes at the end of the line to get my money again

AIM: excessum11 I don't go on aim a lot though

Define "emo." you lose someone you love. you feel sad about it. does it make you emo? no, you're mourning a loss. if every time people were sad that meant they were emo, then emo bands would be the biggest thing since sliced wrists (for the stupid, that was an emo joke about the expression sliced bread \ ) but still, i cant see why emo people are that way. they go all emo because they think their lives are ruined over the loss of a loved one (not talking about you, you're just in mourning. i'm talkin bout those wrist-slitting, mascara wearing, world-hating losers) and they think their lives should be the worst in the world. tell those morons to take a trip to africa. there's a sad story around every corner. kid 6 years old watches his mother die because of malaria. kid later loses his brother and closest friends. he can hardly support himself, he digs for food and lives in a flea infested run down building, alone and suffering from fever. stories like that happen all around that continent. should they grow to be emo? we in developed countries have grown under philosophies like if your girlfriend leaves you your a total idiot and you should go hang yourself. yet some kids in africa know they might not live long enough to get a girlfriend or have a happy life. Then these developed country emo kids have the audacity to think THEY'RE spoiled-brat lives are ruined???

well i guess the only way that it can be debated is over religion. I'm catholic so I don't exactly approve of it. after all, most of these responses say that as long as you have protection, its ok. but then, why would you enjoy a relationship with the other person if you have to protect yourself from them, besides in disease? Unwanted pregnancies, accidental insemination? a husband and wife have nothing to protect themselves from, besides disease, which can always be compromised by adoption. but they shouldn't be worried about pregnancies. they love eachother, have already bonded by marriage, and so sex is a good thing. For a couple, their philosophy for sex is "I dearly love this woman i married, i want to bond with her." For a teen, its probably "this girl is freakin hot i wanna do her so badly." which is REAL love? and besides, if you did have pre-marital sex, whats there to look foreward too on your wedding day after you marry? just a usual routine night, a little everyday loving, then go to bed and get ready for tomorrow's routine bedtime.

quoting happysniff's post on page 1 (this isnt debating happysniff directly, but more debating the fundamentalists) well thankfully i dont think im fundimentalist, I'm a catholic. these fundamentalists seem like a shame on christianity. I for one dont deny god. whether you call him allah or yahweh, hes still the creator and hes good. thus, all the rest of it isnt quite as important as living a moral life (not to say its not important, but it isnt as necessary as the main belief) i being on the fence of the whole atheist-fundamilist debate thinks there can be a compromise. oh yes, there was evolution. but those christians debate it because the world was created in a day. but genesis days were based on the israeli work days. a day in the creation could have been millions of years. thus we could have been created from dust, then evolved and become humans in one "day" The Holy spirit didnt sleep with mary. divine intervention gave her a child. theres a difference. again, the bible was a symbolic book, not a textbook. maybe the writers didnt think it was necessary to know details of the millions of years of absolutely nothing of significance, when the last 6000 years were crucial to our history. Hell no! as a catholic, we believe that you can be baptized in your mind as well as physically. lead a moral life and god wont care who ypou believe in, you're goin to heaven. i dont get it. must be some atheist-fundamentalist debate thing. I've seen idiots rolling on the floor. not exactly the biggest discovery in our faith. Thats probably because people only pray to god when they need it. do we hear constant prayers of thanks to god each day for a day gone well? no, we only hear prayers "god, please help me win the lottery. help my son win the football game. help me with this, help with that." etc. if you only pray to god when its convenient to you, he'll only answer them if its convenient to him. cant take time out of your day to just thank god for life? why should he take time out of his day to answer your hypocritical petty excuses for a devote christian prayer? The religion came before the bible. that is proven in Paul's letter to the Galatians if these self proclaimed "bible scholar athiests/agnostics" paid attention to it. only a foolish christian calls himself a christian without knowing his past. again, stereotypes.

Yea, because the main reason to join religion is to avoid being debated.

So just because one idiot on youtube commented like this, that means all christians are idiots too? we all know the youtube community. They're not exactly Noble-prize worth people. Christians respect others religions. If a christian can be so cruel as to call another religion fake, they're either a member of a minor, unnoticed sect or a plain idiot. I'm a catholic christian. I'm tolerant of any other religion as long as they're tolerant to me. So you're saying that the Creator is limited by the pathetic physics of his creations? thats like saying a model builder has to worship the models he built. again, stereotype. Just because one idiot woman does something controvercial, doesnt mean every christian is the same. even if we knew our family would grow to be gay, we probably won't kill them for it. besides, how do we know she actually did hear from god? she could be some lunatic who thinks god spoke to her. do you have any evidence that this woman did hear from god or that her kids would grow up to be gay? i would think not. 3. (accidently cut it out) i think that while you have no choice to control your love for someone, you do have control to display it publicly or go further with the person, just like in a regular person. Keep the same-gender person as a secret crush, not a spouse.

I think that to stop such problems, make teens buy THEIR OWN CAR. A lot of times, spoiled kids get brand new high-speed sports cars by their parents. of course, its hard to know the value of money when you didn't have to spend a dime on your things. so they show off their car, and eventually crash it. If they spent their own money, maybe they'd be more careful, knowing THEY'D have to afford fixes. But, what do I know? I'm just a 13 year old who sits in the passenger seat reading books...

How do you know your really in love? Before puberty, it probably means your great friends with them, they are fun to hang with, etc. Is that real love? During adolescence, it means half the time that they look really sexy or are popular, etc. Is THAT real love? I'm not an adult yet, so I don't know what really attracts them much besides what i see in movies. People laugh at puppy love cuz they know it wont last, because its probably not love in the first place. Can a ten year old spend thousands on a diamond ring? [for that matter, can a teenager do that either?] can a ten year old take his girl on a date to an expensive resteraunt? can a ten year old manage to keep their grades up with the girl in their heads? can a relationship between ten year olds even turn sexual? How do you expect even a handful of ten year old relationships to involve actual love and not simply "we're good friends, i really like you".

The biggest secret that's not a secret is Victoria's Secret.

Great. nother stupid law from stupid lawmakers who just want to help things but cant do a very good job at it How does anyone know this man is not simply the father? just because any old man is near a girl that means hes a petaphile and not necessarily her own flesh and blood? This law can spark all kinds of problems. One daddy, after daddy takes little Susie to the park to play, they go home. The next day, daddy gets taken to jail for interrogation. Susie cries. One of the big men who took daddy away said "honey, i know whats happening. but please tell me: who is your daddy?" the girl yells "he is my daddy! take me to him!!!!!" Officer:He's just making you THINK hes your daddy. Now please help me by telling me: did this man touch you? Susie: YES! HE HELD MY HAND! I WANT TO SEE MY DADDY AGAIN!! Officer: Honey, I know you're a victim of something called "sexual abuse." [now goes into discussion of what sex is and how its abused]\ do you really think little Susie is ready for this? she goes to the park with her daddy, then daddy gets arrested for doing seemingly nothing, and little Susie gets the talk about 6 years younger than she should get it. Does this seem right? this new law is bringing more problems than it is solving them.

Happy b-day! get any good presents?

I could get youtube videos on my ipod for free too. I wouldn't have to buy $50 software to do it either. There is always a free alternative to save you money. Yea, its called hacking. Now, as for the link that i123i posted, has anyone tried it? the software is free to download, compared to the 50 dollar software with cruddy quality...how do i knw i'm not getting cruddy software and will it be full quality tat i expect it? has anyone tried those programs themselves?

Hey everyone. I recently got an iPod and immediatly downloaded my favorite songs and stuff (the iPod is a 30 gig iPod video 5th gen :thumbsup: ) well after long hours of trial and error (i'm an idiot when it comes to technology) i finally learned how to work most of the iPod. Since mine is an iPod video, i also wanted to see if i could put movies. When i found the cost of 5-6 videos, i suddenly felt very poor... so i tried putting movie DVDs i owned onto my ipod. since nothing happened, i looked it up and found nothing helpful... so instead i wanted to ask the good folks at tipit: is there any way to download your DVDs onto an iPod video? and, if its free and doesnt need any special equipment, how do you do it?

Whoever said death was the end? that it is something to fear, and not something to rejoice in? Don't mourn because its nearly over. Be glad that its going to happen. I'm sure being elderly and suffering cancer can be painful. Leaving this world into the next will probably be a beautiful experience, and the pain will go away. So put a smile on, the day is young :P
