Religious symbols in public places

rockerfellaco @rockerfellaco (157) • United States 13 Jan 13

A lot has been made about religious symbols in public places. The Christians are the biggest complainers when something of their religion is not allowed to be displayed. They scream that there's a war on Christianity in this...

hoseasmate I don't understand why the push to rid things and places of Christian symbols. Who cares? What difference does it make what the dollar bill says on it? In G-d We Trust or in the Government We Trust? My interest in the dollar is how much it will buy! Do I care...

What would you like to do if time travel was possible?

dankebab @dankebab (92) 9 Jan 13

Was having a conversation with my mate earlier. We bought up the topic of time travel (As you do when you're bored lol) but yeah, and he asked me what I would like to do if it was possible. I thought about it and was thinking, I...

hoseasmate You may think it is really lame, but I would go back to see Jesus. I think it would be the neatest thing in the world to go back to the time of H-s ministry and be a part of the crowd that saw the miracles H- performed. It I had to go to the future, I would...

hoseasmate Oh my. Usually I stay awake and play board games with the family and drink and eat. This year I was ill and spent the night alone trying to rest and become well. I prayed that being ill on the first day of the new year is not a harbinger of the year to come!

hoseasmate I have heard of a lot of phones being dropped into water and being rendered useless. I also heard that if you take the phone apart and put it in a jar of rice for 24 to 48 hours that the rice will draw out the moisture and the phone might work. It is important...

Will you compare your BF or GF with your ex one?

echo060201 @echo060201 (540) • China 1 Jan 13

I have a BF now, we get along with each other very well, but even the most friendly lovers will argue about something. We quarrel with each other too, but not often. Before meeting with him, i had a BF in university, we broke up...

hoseasmate I think that we always compare BF and BFF with others. It is human nature. There are certain characteristics that we look for in our friendships with others and a lot of times when we encounter something different our first response is to compare. As long as...

Do you have a stange habit which others can not understand?

echo060201 @echo060201 (540) • China 3 Jan 13

For me, I can not bear people have long finger nails. Everytime, when I see someone has long finger nails, no matter male or female, I will try my best to resist the urge to take out the nail scissors and cut nails for him or her....

hoseasmate The really long nails that are over one inch long, I do not care for either. I know that the person cannot do normal tasks with nails that long and it makes me believe that they are lazy. I like neatly manicured nails that are not more than one inch or less...

Thanks for being a special friend this year

muggiekins @joliefille (3690) • Philippines 5 Jan 13

Do you feel that God speaks to you?

dragon54u @dragon54u (31636) • United States 5 Jan 13

I don't mean like someone sitting across from you and actually talking to you, that's not how He does things usually. I mean the little, tiny voice that is very aggressive and overrides your thoughts and actions. I recently...

hoseasmate I know that G-d speaks to me, so my assumption is that H- speaks to others. Sometimes it is an audible voice, other times its that inner urging that you mentioned. A prompting to do good and to bless others can only come from the Holy Spirit! I always say, and...

What words or manner of speaking would you like to see gone?

dragon54u @dragon54u (31636) • United States 5 Jan 13

Lake Superior State University has released its list of words banned in 2013. Some of them are understandable, like "fiscal cliff", "trending", and "spoiler alert". But I would like to ban something else, the habit of speaking...

hoseasmate Under freedom of speech I don't think most of the bans will stand the litmus test. However, the thing I would like to have banned is the media coining new phrases and catchwords. Like Obamacare. This started with Watergate and has continued ever since.

Do you play with the cell phone when you are at bed?

echo060201 @echo060201 (540) • China 30 Dec 12

I have a habit that every night, when I go to bed and before ready to sleep, I will play with the cell phone for ten or fifteen minutes, then I will sleep. I will chat with friends, play a little bit games, or just search the...

hoseasmate I do have this habit, as well. It is no different for me reading from my cell phone as it is reading from my Kindle. It is just easier. Before these devices, one had to have the lamp on in order to see to read. Since these devices have been developed, there is...

hoseasmate I wouldn't lend money to anyone without having them sign a promissory note and leaving me something for collateral. I would be very suspicious of someone who looked me up and immediately asked to borrow a large sum of money. Number one, I don't have that large...
