With the recent reports about the trouble in the stock market in the past day or so I started to think about about the notion that "money is the root of all evil" Money is a powerful force in today's world and is a commodity...

Sageoak Most people misquote that saying. It comes from the bible. Jesus said that, "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil." I do not think that you can argue with that. It is not money itself that causes the evil but people's desire to acquire it that leads to...

Sageoak Another example of shifting the responsibility of ones actions to someone else. No one forces anyone to buy the cookies nor are they forced to eat them. I understand that obesity is a problem but banning cookies is not going to stop it. If the person is going...

First of all, I am a Christian. I just want to know what other people think and believe here on myLot. So... Does God exist, in any shape, form, or fashion? Or, let's rephrase it...Does a Supreme Being, a Deity of any kind,...

Sageoak DeCarte, the famed French mathematician, came up with the perfect arguement in favor of belief of God. If he does not exist than worship does nothing but give personal relief. If God does exist than his worship is rewarded after life. Either way you really...

Sageoak I love to write. I find that once I sit down that the words usually flow. I have a web site where I have some short stories that I have written and I was lucky enough to have some non-fiction work published in a British magazine. I would like to be more...

I'm taking a class in media and we've been discussing the decline of newspaper readership. So does anyone still read newspapers on a daily basis? Do you just read your local papers or a national paper like the New York Times or...

Sageoak I read the paper every morning. I also listen to it on radio or watch the news on tv but when it comes to getting the details of a story nothing beats a newspaper. I find it more satisfying than the news on-line since I can carry it with me and read it where...

Sageoak I get these all the time. They are phishing and if you answer you are hooked. I copy and paste these messages and send them to the various institutions (PayPAl, E-Bay, etc.) to ask them if it is legit and to alert them of the scam.

Sageoak I do not think there is any hope for people that are so deluded. Bush lied and twisted intelligence for his own motives. Check the facts; the inspectors were in Iraq up until Bush told them to get out because he was going to bomb Iraq. He keeps himself...

Sageoak It would be if Sadam had anything to do with it. Everyone, including Bush, has admitted that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 yet people still insist on pointing the finger that way. I do not think that Bush and his cronies planned the attack but I do think...

Sageoak You cannot expect to have the rights of a citizen if you are not a citizen! This is the fault of local governments as well as the federal system. If the law was applied the people that hire illegals and those that rent to them must be fined according to the...

Sageoak Yes, N.Y. gets a bad rap from the media and most of the world but we have some really great people in this city. This is not the first time a N.Y Cabbie has done such a noble deed. Give the nice people of N.Y. a hand, they take enough guff most of the time.

Sageoak You need to approach this on two fronts. The first is that you are probably a bit insecure. Comments about other women bother you because you think of it as a comparison to you. So the first thing you should try to do is learn how to feel good about...
