I will be writing tons of stuff about christains at my blog post soon, so do take a look.

As for this thread, yes there are a lot of "christains" that scare me. But then again a lot of athiests and other religions scare me too. For example, the 'off-topic' forum has been home of tons of christain-bashing threads. Why? I dont see any athiests bashing threads, so why do you people feel the need to do everything you can to put a certain religion down? Doesnt make any sense.....

It hasnt affect me at all. Of course, i dont drink that much soda (pop) anyways

And CEO's do work harder than farmers or whatever. How do you think they started the company?

I find that statement hard to believe. Have you ever known a farmer or restaurant owner?

I am not saying that being a CEO is easy. I am just saying that the money they earn is not directly congruous (sp?) to how hard they work, compared to a farmer or restaurant owner.

My Grandpa owns a company called Am Sytems and he is worth about 20 million. He works his frickin but off. He is lucky when he gets home by 11. Sometimes he doesnt even get home but keeps working. I know what CEO's go through. They work brutally hard, and everything they do is business. If they go to lunch, its usaully with a business contact. If they play golf, its with a business contact. Dont say they dont work hard, when you have not even the slightest clue what they do. One of my freinds owns a restuarant, and while he my work hard, it is no where near what most CEO's are like. Not even close. And CEO's also dont sit there and blame their problems on everyone else

So, if you graduate from high school, but have sisters/brothers, or for some other reason cannot afford the money and TIME (often underestimated factor) to go to college, and have to enter the work force, and work for 60-80 hours a week to support your family, and work honestly and hard, they do not deserve a helping hand? There are millions of people in this situation who are still struggling to make ends meet. (my father was one of them. He was a very hard-working and honest, smart man who cared more about his own family than his own personal dreams.)Engrish_Major

There are scholorships and gov't programs you forget about. And every body is short on time, not just the poor. Dont forget that

I agree that people must work for what they have. However, there is a large imbalance in this country that is increasing. You cannot say that a company CEO works harder than a chef, farmer, or janitor.

I know a mother personally who could not afford health insurance. Her son was hit by a car (uninsured driver) while he was waiting for the school bus. He had to have reconstructive surgery on his leg, not knowing if he would walk again. His mother is in debt now to the hospital for 6 figures. She will never be out of debt, and most likely her son too. How is that right?

If you work hard you can become rich. Thats all there is too it. Work hard and SMART, and you will live the "american dream." Thats what i can stand about poor people. They sit there day after day and blame the "imbalance" in our country. How but they shut up, and try and do something with there life. I have no sympathy for people that blame their problems on others.

I hate Chavez :|....he's better than Bush though, and what exactly makes him a "bad guy"? Please explain :?SuperMario_46

lol, you say you hate Chavez, then you ask me why he is a "bad guy?" That doesnt make any sense. And i dont see how he is better than Bush. Please explain.

yeta couple of days ago after Chavez lost he was talking about how proud he was of Venezuelan people because they voted right or something :|SuperMario_46

Oh so think Chavez is a good guy. Well that explains a lot about you, so i dont need to get into a long drawn out disscussion with you.

This have really gone too far. Bush have jumped the gun by beating the war drums to Iran before making sure Iran even have nuclear weapons. Now hes still picking on Iran. Why cant this guy just drop it?

Im convinced Bush have large investments in Halliburton and other defense contractors. Imagine if why doesnt he end the war with Iraq now? Maybe because him and his buddies would no longer get paid millions of dollars?

Jd1680a

There you guys go again, using Bush as a scapegoat. If i am not mistaken Bush wasnt the only one 'jumping the gun" on Iran. So were the UN and other various countries. And they were developing them, they just paused for now. And you act like they never had them (sounds like the Iraq War)

And actaully for once, he is being intelligent. Since Iran stopped, now is a good time to watch them carefully, not invade, but keep a very close eye on them. We know they are crazy and hate Isreal and all other western countries, so wouldnt it be stupid to forget about them until its to late again? Seriously you guys, use your brains

bush was 'disappointed' in Chaves because he wanted to remove presidential term limits, which he said would result in a one-man-rule (dictatorship)

dictatorships like france, for example, who do not have a term limit for their presidents either...

Mr_sprinkles

Though i dont agree with you, that wasnt my point. I dont care why he was dissapointed, i was just pointing out to the other guy that bush isnt trying to invade Venezuela.

[QUOTE="Autobon"]The poor are not as wasteful as the rich. They cannot afford to be.Engrish_Major

You are mistaken. I know there are exceptions, but most people that are poor WASTED their time in school, and they continue to WASTE their time after. You dont have to be rich to be wasteful, as many people think. And if poor people were rich they would just spend their money all on themselves as well. Thats why almost every time someone wins $100 million dollars in the lottery you see them broke in a couple of years. (and thats true, look it up) Its because they are very selfish wasteful people, and when they get money, it all comes out.
