No, I think what's happening in Gaza was their own fault. Israel has a right to defend itself and there wasn't much they could do short of invading.
I quote actually goes like this "Any society that would give up a little libery to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both". This happens to be my favorite quote of all time and I try to let it guide me in politics. I've been using it...
Stop being part of the lost cause Gary. One of the biggest reasons for the war was slavery. Several prominent confederate politicians even said as much. It was only after the war that this whole idea of state's rights started showing up.
Could you show me a link or website to that speech? I never really meant to place Lincoln on a pedastal. I think he was one of the worst presidents we've ever had. He actually took away more freedoms then any other president. I was just saying that Lin...
You actually have to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound. Once again if you consistently starve yourself you will lose weight. Its eating after you've starved yourself that makes you gain weight. And if you've starved yourself for three weeks and lose l...
Your cut off time at night depends on when you go to bed because you don't use as many calories when your sleeping so food is more likely to become fat. Dieting will make you lose way more weight then exercise so worry more about your diet. A good over...
Starving yourself will make you lose weight. It's starving yourself then eating that makes you gain a lot of weight.
It boosts metabolism by 5 percent and plays a key role in keeping your stomach full. At zero calories it also allows you to eat more on a diet.
Don't ever go for fast food, in fact when you're out and about don't bring any money. You won't be able to buy the unhealthy foods this way even if your appetite acts up. Eat more sandwiches, they are very filling. Drink less or no milk at all like me ...
You can't, it's impossible unless you get surgery.
Why does everyone think emo automatically means cutting? I have a friend who cuts herself, but she is the farthest things from emo. Please don't tell me it just means emotional because there is a stereo type for emo people (Dark clothing, fake depressi...
I personally think the voting age should be lowered to 16. I love politics and I think I could make a really well informed decision right now at 15. I actually think I would be a more capable voter then a lot of adults. I wouldn't go any lower then 16 ...
The southerna were basically like spoiled children. They couldn't deal with change or the law. The thing that pushed them over the edge was Licoln, but he won fair and square so why did that give them the right to leave the Union? I have to agree with ...
Is she just doing it to rebel and hurt her parents and does she genuinely want to be wiccan? Before she does anything drastic I think that should be figured out. If she really is sincere it sounds like she should wait until she moves out.
Did you actually type any of that or was it all copy and pasted?
I'm not debating on whether or not life is out there or not. I just think there is no possible way they could have ever made it to Earth unless they were beings of pure energy. Then by our defination they wouldn't be considered living. So what if there...
Are you on drugs? Honestly, that is the most farfetched thing I've ever heard.
I just wanted to clarify that I don't disrepect the mormom religion. I like how it tries to build family ties and relationships and get to live cleaner lives. It's just. . . funny to me.
Oh trust me, people always manage to ignore them someway.
Quite honestly I think your religion is strange, farfetched, and hilarious. I have a mormon friend and he's explained it to me, but it just seems so out there.
I don' t think the constitution supports seperation of church and state. Did you know the writer of the first amendment thoughr it should be mandatory that bibles were used in all schools.
I think they should both be taught in schools so people can see both sides of the argument. There is a lot of creation science, but now of you have seemed to research it all.
Indeed we are. It is touched upon lightly in schools, but when it goes in depth people usually raise a big fuss so they stopped doing that. They never even really showed birth control pills, just condoms and that was so we don't get STD's.
I don't drink caffine after 6:00, I exercise daily for at least 30 minutes, and I've taken sleeping pills. None of this things have ever helped me. I usually get 2-3 hours of sleep. Sometimes I'll go two days without sleep or I'll fall asleep at 9 in t...
I think your fine. I'm the same age as you and I've never even had a girlfriend.
Concentrate on the positive and the positive only, such as your child. Don't ever let your thoughs stray into a negative area. That's when you begin to think of what you could do to yourself. You slowly plan it without realizing and eventually it doesn...
What do you believe is wrong with republican rule? Neither party would benefit.
The big bang theory was quite a large and fatal flaw, it doesn't explain how the bang started ot where the matter and energy that was in it came from. I would be more inclined to believe you if you could explain these things. Most intelligent design...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think christians believe that people of the jewish faith go to hell because they don't believe Jesus Christ was the true son of God.
Thanks for the tip. I'll try to keep things simple next time.
No offense, but I think the whole concept of reincarnation is ridiculous. Maybe you're just drawn to victorian houses because you think they look nice. Mental disorders are usually caused by something that someone experiences. If it isn't that then it'...
You can't prove any two fossils are related to each other in any way. For all you know it could be just some extinct species.
Sorry about not being specific enough. I mean fossils don't prove evolution.
If only that worked for me.I read in bed, but it only keeps me up for hours. I usually get around 3 hours of sleep. I'm almost positive I'm an insomniac, but I don't really mind. The average adult is supposed to get 7-8 hours and the average kid or ...
Not all young guys are manipulative and sex craved.
Then where would you put it? Fossils don't prove anything at all.
The only way all of the worlds people would ever get together is if they were faced by a larger outside force. Even then I would highly doubt all of us working together. War is human nature and because of that there will never be world peace.
Calories from food are changed to glucose by your body for energy. If you don't burn it up fairly quickly it is converted into glycogen, which is kind of like stand by energy. If glycogen isn't used for a while it is converted to fat. So yes any extra ...
-Well I think 2012 is alittle to soon maybe in 2050 we will be in trouble because of glaicers melting causing places like the medlives and Bangledash to be under water and our growing population which will reach 9 billion in the next 5 years who knows ...
It actually wouldn't have to take up that much fuel. We are designing engines that gather hydrogen molecules in space and strip them of their atoms for energy. as it moves faster it collects more atoms allowing it to go even faster. I think there is...
I can sympathize. I don't know what it's like for you, but I feel like my family life is horrible. I hide from them in my room all day and hate being around them. I dread it when my parents come home from work because I know soon the peace will be shat...
I wish I could lose weight that fast. I think your supposed to eat something for all the calories when burn off when exercising. You exercise even more then I do it sounds like so maybe technically you're still starving your body because you use up so ...
-Think of it like this ... it's selfish of you for trying to kill yourself think about your family, and your friends how hurt they woudl be they probably could not cope with it. thats why you should not kill yourself there are so many wonderful things ...
Almost forgot! Drink lots of water. It's better then anything else and boosts your metabolism.
Throwing up can make you can weight which is the main reason why I can never got started when I was very tempted too. Dieting never works because when you eat "normal" food again you'll just gain it all back. You have to make permanent changes to your ...
I eat two small meals a day and I've lost about 50 pounds already. It makes me so proud. I still have a long way to go though. It's really easy all you do is the plan the amount of calories in each of your snacks and make them small. Apples, like you s...
Pop is very unhealthy. If you drink pop regularly and then stop you can actually lose up to 5 pounds in a week. You could also get addicted to caffine which is what happened to me, so now I drink coffee instead. The only benefit that I see at all is th...
Why does it seem like a lot of girls have this paranoid theory that the only reason we are ever nice is to have sex with you?
I'm only 15 and I've honestly never been offered or been around either alcohol or cigarettes. I have strong convinctions in this area and if I ever drank or smoked I think I would become the biggest hypocrite in world history. It's disgusting and revol...
I was at my cousins being babysat when a guy in a hugh trenchcoat stands outside the house. At this point someone keeps calling asking to be let in because he wants to see us and say hi to all of us. This went for about an hour before he finally left. ...
