I was going through questions to vote on best answers and someones answer caught my eye.
The question was dealing with the prominence of Christianity in the media, and why it seemed like no other religions were talked about very often.
One person's answer was basically stating that Christianity was the main religion focused upon, because our country was founded solely upon Christianity.
Which is exactly where I disagree with them.
The way I understand it, is that our country was founded upon the concept of freedom of religion.
The immigrants on the Mayflower came because they were being persecuted due to their religious views.
Again from what I gathered in history class, our country was founded upon freedom of religion, and that no one religion was the right one in our country, and that people couldn't persecute others because of their religious affiliations.
What do ya'll think?
In your opinion...?
"As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion..."
- From Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli 1797. Unanimously ratified by the U.S. Senate and signed by President John Adams.
EDIT: You are wrong- The founding fathers were not, by any stretch of the imagination, Christian's. They were deists (Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Cornelius Harnett, Gouverneur Morris, and Hugh Williamson especially)- this is a rarely argued fact.
In fact, some seemed to really disliked Christianity.
http://www.ecis.com/~alizard/founding-fa... I suggest you read this, it goes into details about the founding fathers view on the religion.
Reply:I think and believe it was founded on Christianity. I go to a public school and they teach that.
Reply:Correct, it was founded on the belief to HAVE a freedom of religion...but the first settlers WERE Christian (Protestants).
They fleed because they were persecuted Christians. And they didn't want to persecute others ... so they set up the freedom to have religion.
Hope this helps!
Good luck, and may God continue to shine on you.

Reply:I think you are correct. The people who came here in the early sea crossing were in fact running from religious persecution. But, we must remember that when the formers of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were a couple centuries removed from these Pilgrams. However, when you read into these documents you can see that these men were protecting the rights of people of all religions to worship as they pleased and that no law should be made against a person due to the religious background they come from and there should be no particular state or federally supported religion.
Reply:Well, yes, you're right. However, your reasoning is off. Not only did the Pilgrims have nothing to do with the founding of our country, but they actually came here because they weren't able to practice their form of religious intolerance in Europe. Your basic point is correct, however, in that this nation was not founded on Christianity or any other religion, but rather on religious freedom and tolerance.
Reply:I think you are half right...
The First Amendment states that Congress shall not pass any laws establishing religion. However, the Constitution also says that all men are created equal by God...
It is my understanding that our forefathers intended America to be founded on principles found in the Bible, but did not wish to establish favoritism for any certain denomination of Christianity. If you read some early Supreme Court decisions, you might encounter the same thoughts...
Reply:The founding fathers were wise enough to see that they needed to ensure religion was kept securely out of state and politics!!
Just try reading a small sample of Christian postings on here!!!
Intolerant, egotistical, hate filled and bigoted!! Eschewing education, science, evolution works of fiction and much, much more. Christians are the only religion opposing human rights and persecuting gays, pro choice and so much more - but far worse whilst they demand freedom of religion they deny it to all non Christians and persecute them!!!
Not just unchristian but so un American!!!!
Reply:a lot of persecution in europe drove many to immigrate to the america's your right.
though it amuses me when christians say they are among the most persecuted religions, meanwhile they also claim their religion make sup 80%+ of the population.
i think why its talked about so often can be for a number of different reasons. one reason being, that christianity tends to be the most oppressing religion (at least in the USA). I know when i went to see The Golden Compass and some of the Harry Potter movies, there were christians outside protesting it, handing out fliers. Homosexual marriage and relationships are constantly at war with the christians. the only thing keeping homosexuality as being accepted IS christianity. a lot of christians are constantly trying to implement their biblical laws into our society... i think it upsets those of us who still believe in freedom of (from) religion.
one part of the religious persecution that was happening was catholics persecuting the protestants.

8th grade social studies??
Can u put these words into historically correct sentances??
legislative branch
longhouse
mayflower compact
8th grade social studies??
Ummm... lemme take a shot :)
1. The legislative branch of the U.S. federal government makes laws.
or
The legislative branch of the U.S. government is made up of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives.
2. A longhouse was used by early Native Americans as a home.
or
The longhouses used by Native Americans would often contain members of an extended family.
3. The Mayflower Compact was the first written agreement for governance in North America.
or
The Mayflower Compact was signed before the passengers left the Mayflower to ensure that they would continue to be law abiding citizens in the New World.
Reply:How about some large hints!!?? The legislative branch is one of the three branches of our government. The executive enforces the laws and the judicial interprets the laws. The legislators do not work in longhouses, which in a Native American abode, but work in the state or national congress or legislature. The Mayflower Compact has nothing to do with female make-up kits but does have a lot to do with one of our most important historical documents. Think majority rule and the rule of law!!

If you're not Native American shouldn't your as* get deported?
Sounds fair right? Everyone argues about illegal immigrants invading the U.S., but in truth isn't that how we became who we are today? Isn't it human nature to escape a hell of a life and run for a better one? In the end aren't we all contradicting what has been proven in the past? What is right, what is wrong? Take a ride on the Mayflower or Hop a fence in Texas?
If you're not Native American shouldn't your as* get deported?
The Europeans "acquired" the land...
Lol .. they were welcomed with open arms and then they turned around and coc* Blocked the native americans. Thats pretty funny. "acquired".
Most illegal immigrants don't come to acquire land or change the US. They just want to live here as Americans. We're talking about immigrants, not
Terrorist. And no, its not the same
Reply:You are missing the point... The Europeans "acquired" the land that became the United States from the indigenous people - do you think they (the Indians) just shrugged their shoulders and moved off their land? Hell no! They fought. They lost, but they fought.
Now comes the question of whether or not Americans should fight to keep their country... The answer is and always was - YES!
If we lose, and illegal aliens take over (not likely) then it should be because we fought and lost, not because we shrugged our shoulders and allowed it to happen.
I wish everyone would quit whining about what's fair and right. If you want to give a country away, pick another one. I'm an American and I feel like American is worth keeping.
Reply:The problem with that is that the Illegal immigrants handed the Native Americans their A**es. So how do you kick them out.
Reply:Some people happened to find themselves in America, against their will of course, as slaves! Otherwise they would have been quite happy to be proud Ghananians or wherever they came from. Their arrival in America is VERY different to someone who enters the country illegally, and knowing what he's up to..... so NO they shouldn't get their A**** deported!
Reply:Everyone here pretty much come from somewhere else in the world. And if not us our grandparents did. That is what America is made up of :)
Reply:Technically then everyone on the planet should have thier *** deported back to africa including the native americans since they did not file the proper paper work with the berring straight.

If the Bible really does promote "free speach" and "liberty" why was there such a time as the "dark ages"?
Last I checked, the Church had nearly unlimited power over everyone (including all European monarchs) if the Bible really had "promoted free speech" and "democracy" why did it favour a "divine right to rule" rather then "democracy"? Wasn't that "religious persecution" the sole reason that the original pilgrims got on the Mayflower, it was for "religious freedom"...And yet, people state that Christianity had created America........if America was created on the basis of Christianity, why is there religious freedom? Even Christ stated, "The only way through God is through me!"............in short you can not say that the founding fathers were "fundamentalist Christians" as with each group of them, there is always a sense of superiority within them about their own interpretations and understanding of the "Truth".......and why would a Christian give people freedom to actively preach what in your opinion is "heresy" to innocents?
If the Bible really does promote "free speach" and "liberty" why was there such a time as the "dark ages"?
The concepts of liberty, justice and free speach are not biblical. Individuals such as John Locke and Thomas Jefferson and several other philosophers conceived these concepts and incorporated them into our founding father's writings and documentation to govern this country. These concepts were completely new considering they were incorporated into the genesis of a government.
People who claim these were biblical concepts are completely and utterly clueless when it comes to American history as well as the bible. This country was NEVER based on christian principals. In fact, the forefathers went so far as to create a foundational document that prevents religious persecution or government interference with an individual's right to practice whatever religion they chose, specifically because they did not like the way religion had a way of trying to become theocracy when mixed with government.
Further, the dark ages are a reflection of thousands of years of history and science lost because christian monks specifically took manuscripts that other scholars (greek and babyonian, etc..) that explained various astrological and mathematical concepts and "cleaned" them so they could be used to copy christian manuscripts. Much history, science and philosophies were lost, hence the "dark" ages.
SunBeam: the bible does not say that the only way to god is through Jesus, that is a common but erronous mistranslation. Greek and hebrew, as well as most persian languages uses a present perfect tense that cannot be translated with "only", this is an insertion that english uses to clarify what is ambiguous in the german or english translation, but the greek or hebrew is NOT ambiguous. The verbs used are present perfect tense with a progressive (therefore continuous or ongoing) all-inclusive single artical.
"I am the light, the truth and the way" does not refer to three nouns, but to three continuous verbs that in a language that defines such a tense, is all inclusive of all light, all truth and all ways. There is no "only" in the translation. Simply put, Jesus was saying he was the door to his father by which all people pass. He was saying that he was all light, all truth and all ways. Remember he was taking his belief outside of judaism and giving it to the gentiles. He beleived is was truth for all people, not just a certain exclusive few.

Reply:The answer to your question is simple, free agency. "Christ stated, "The only way through God is through me!"" This is true but people still have the right to choose how they are going to live their life. Christ has provided all the answers for us to live the most joyfull happy life possible but we still have the right to choose how we want to live our life, and live with the consequences that follow whether good or bad. America was founded on Christianity, but again the divine principle of free agency comes into play. People have the right to choose. God does not force obedience. But he does warn us of the natural consequences that will follow. For example say their is a cliff in front of you. Do you jump or not. It is your choice. You can choose, and which ever choice you make you will have to live with the consequences that follow. Whether it good or bad. This is where the atonement of Christ comes into play. But I am not going to go into that. Anyways hope that helped.
Reply:The Bible does not promote free speech and never has. It is the constitution that promotes free speech. In religous circles, you always have freedom of speech as long as it does not conflict with current church doctrine. Galileo suffered extreme pressure from the church when he stated his concept that not everything in the heavens orbits the earth, (which he observed through his telescope while watching the moons of Jupiter.' It opposed church doctrine of the earth being the center of the universe. A scientific fact, but it is defined as heresy.
The founding fathers may have believed in some form of Christianity, but among these individuals, a number of them were deist. They felt it was important not to have government force someone else's belief system down your throat at gunpoint.
deism - : a movement or system of thought advocating natural religion, emphasizing morality, and in the 18th century denying the interference of the Creator with the laws of the universe. Deism is belief in God based on the application of our reason on the designs/laws found throughout Nature. In their mind, God gave us reason, not religion. Thomas Payne Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and Benjamin Franklin were known for the deist beliefs. "In God We Trust", a motto that is on US currency does not necessarily refer to the God of Abraham.
I believe it is a true statement that the founding fathers of the united states had a deep faith concerning their belief in God, but I feel it would be stretching the true to place a label on this God as being 100% Christian.
Faith based religions require an individual to have faith above all else. If scientific data contradicts faith, then science is ignored. Deism would have the argument that there is truth in God. If we observe God's creation through the use of reason and observe events that controdict our current understanding, they are more inclined to believe the error is lies more with their understanding of the universe and less with God's attempt to pull the wool over their eyes.
They way you stated your question leads me to believe that you are in error with your understanding of experiences and thought processes of the founding fathers.
Reply:A) I don't know why you think that the bible promotes free speech and liberty (and democracy - a greek concept). It doesn't. Nor does it restrict them.
B) From the way you talk about it, I suspect you have a misperception of what the "dark ages" was and what made it "dark".
C) The bible did not favor "devine right of rule", it is a concept that rulers promoted in order to keep the masses down.
D) England had no seperation of church and state. The church did not rule the state; the state ruled the church. Anybody who believed (religiously) any different than what the state told the church to preach was persecuted. This is a major reason why the founding fathers wanted a separation of church and state.
E) I don't know anybody, but the most fundamentalist of fundamentalist Christians who claim that the founding fathers were fundamentalist. Realize, however, that the term "conservative" when applied to religion means "fundmentalist" and the term "liberal" means that you allow for much more "interpretation" of scripture. While I would not catagorize the founding fathers as "fundamentalist", they were more conservative than most Christians today. Having said that, the founding fathers were a mixed bag of people, including a few atheists.
What most fundamentalists fail to realize is that if it were not for the freedom of religion that we enjoy in the U.S.A., their religion would not exist. If you look at state run religions, the church is run by the state - not vice versa. That means atheists, agnostics, liberal and conservative christians all get to vote on what the church believes. Look at the anglican church (the church of England) - they are one of the most liberal forms of Christianity (openly gay bishops, etc.). Conservatives poo poo the separation of church and state, somehow deluding themselves to think that if there were no separation, then the state would look more like (their) the church. The reality is, their church would look more like the anglican church.
If the Bible really does promote "free speach" and "liberty" why was there such a time as the "dark ages"?
The concepts of liberty, justice and free speach are not biblical. Individuals such as John Locke and Thomas Jefferson and several other philosophers conceived these concepts and incorporated them into our founding father's writings and documentation to govern this country. These concepts were completely new considering they were incorporated into the genesis of a government.
People who claim these were biblical concepts are completely and utterly clueless when it comes to American history as well as the bible. This country was NEVER based on christian principals. In fact, the forefathers went so far as to create a foundational document that prevents religious persecution or government interference with an individual's right to practice whatever religion they chose, specifically because they did not like the way religion had a way of trying to become theocracy when mixed with government.
Further, the dark ages are a reflection of thousands of years of history and science lost because christian monks specifically took manuscripts that other scholars (greek and babyonian, etc..) that explained various astrological and mathematical concepts and "cleaned" them so they could be used to copy christian manuscripts. Much history, science and philosophies were lost, hence the "dark" ages.
SunBeam: the bible does not say that the only way to god is through Jesus, that is a common but erronous mistranslation. Greek and hebrew, as well as most persian languages uses a present perfect tense that cannot be translated with "only", this is an insertion that english uses to clarify what is ambiguous in the german or english translation, but the greek or hebrew is NOT ambiguous. The verbs used are present perfect tense with a progressive (therefore continuous or ongoing) all-inclusive single artical.
"I am the light, the truth and the way" does not refer to three nouns, but to three continuous verbs that in a language that defines such a tense, is all inclusive of all light, all truth and all ways. There is no "only" in the translation. Simply put, Jesus was saying he was the door to his father by which all people pass. He was saying that he was all light, all truth and all ways. Remember he was taking his belief outside of judaism and giving it to the gentiles. He beleived is was truth for all people, not just a certain exclusive few.
Reply:atheism predates the monothestic Abrahamic religions
and guess what
the atheism of then was the most barbaric and savage (women rapin, children killing) that was atheism OLD SKOOL
this new school- whimp leader- dawkins- pseudo scientific- moronic- asshatery that they claim is 'gentle' atheism, basically equates to what i do in the toilet with less substance then what is in itchens bloodstream of course
Reply:So now God is responsible for the Dark Ages and ignorance, and the country was not founded by Christians.
Deluded.
Unbelievable.
Reply:because back then about 2% of people could acutally read the bible, so you had to rely on what your priest told you, which was what he wanted to tell you so the church could control the people
Reply:i just love reading these incoherent rants from religious freaks. It just goes to show that you have to be nuts to follow any religion.
Reply:Can you say ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH? Why do you think Protestantism caught on so big time?
Reply:Where does it say anything about free speech and liberty in the Bible?
Reply:People and satan?
Reply:The answer to your question is simple, free agency. "Christ stated, "The only way through God is through me!"" This is true but people still have the right to choose how they are going to live their life. Christ has provided all the answers for us to live the most joyfull happy life possible but we still have the right to choose how we want to live our life, and live with the consequences that follow whether good or bad. America was founded on Christianity, but again the divine principle of free agency comes into play. People have the right to choose. God does not force obedience. But he does warn us of the natural consequences that will follow. For example say their is a cliff in front of you. Do you jump or not. It is your choice.

The time interval between the Resurrection and the establishment of the New Testament canon in AD 382?
is roughly the same as the interval between the arrival of the Mayflower in America and the present day. Therefore, since the early Christians had no defined New Testament for almost four hundred years, how did they practice sola Scriptura?
The time interval between the Resurrection and the establishment of the New Testament canon in AD 382?
I just really really wish that the Emperor Constantine would stop getting brought up concerning the making of the Bible. He had nothing to do with it.
That Dan Brown crap was less scientific than voodoo dolls.
Reply:They couldn't, for there was no canonnized scripture to rely on.
In 325AD, Emperor Constantine attempted to standardize the practics of christianity, by assembling the first council of nicaea. At this council, decisions were made as to the godhood of Jesus, and the trinity.
Reply:Word of mouth. Which, to my mind, leave a whole lot open to interpretation and unreliable reporting. Things will get lost or twisted over the years. Just saying...
Reply:They did have books to go from, but they were widely different depending on the particular region and who produced them. The NT was a combination of books written through out that time and passed back and forth. The whole reason of the council was to decide which of those books should go in the formal cannon to define and unify Christianity.
Reply:they did still use scripture, and very badly translated bits I would venture to add. That's why there was a concern at the time that many valuable documents were being terribly translated into Greek and Latin while the originals were physically degrading. Gospels such as the protoevangelium of St James and the apocryphal gospel of St Bartholomew are not included in today's bible for those very reasons.
But they were degraded because those gospels were used SO much by early Christians. And if you read them you understand where many Catholic "traditions" come from.

Advice on finding theatre work in Southampton?
I know agencies are the key thing, understood perfectly. But does anybody living in Southampton or nearby know places that hold plays very often and have open auditions? I'm checking out the Nuffield Theatre, however does anybody have any suggestions for any theatre work that can be found nearby? And also, how do plays like the ones at the Mayflower recruit their performers, is it just by agencies? Because I went there and they told me to give them a CV of me, and they'd pass it on. But I assume that's not the only way. Thanks if you help. x
Advice on finding theatre work in Southampton?
If you do not take the advice of Mayflower, then good luck. Mostly professional theatres use agencies for casting, especially if they are union. Why don't you develop a reputation as a very fine actor in local amateur dramatic societies, then maybe one of the pro theatres may become interested in you. Generally one has to attend an acting academy to succeed in the UK as an actor.

Other examples have been women who were appointed following the deaths of their husbands, such as Mrs. Burdick of North Dakota, who was appointed in 1992 but she served for only a couple of months.
It would obviously take a long time for anyone to go back to the beginning, 1789, and to count all of the people who have ever served.

Reply:For #6- The total number must be somewhere in the thousands, and it would take far too long for anybody to actually do the counting. There have been some U.S. Senators who have served in the Senate for a matter of only a few months. One of the most recent examples of that was Sheila Frahm of Kansas, who was appointed to the Senate in 1996 in order to fill the vacancy that occurred when Bob Dole resigned. But then almost right after she was appointed, she lost the Republian primary vote, and so she continued to serve in the Senate for a few months.

Strange and/or Interesting baby names?
I was looking through the baby announcements for last week at work today, and came across some strange/interesting names. No, I'm not considering any of them, lol, but am curious to others opinions:
Hamlet Theonidas (I'm a Shakespeare fan, but can't picture the name Hamlet on a child. Interesting nonetheless)
Jagger Maximillion (Jagger has grown on me, although I wouldn't personally use it)
Arson Helm (terrible!)
Kingston Cruz Romeo (umm, is it just me or is this a celebrity baby name carbon copy?)
Warwick George
Kipling Kourt
(girls)
Innocent Wilda Dagby Jaynne (wow, just wow)
Mayflower Dandelion
Strange and/or Interesting baby names?
The only good name there is Jagger. The others are pretty bad. Cruz Romeo? I wonder what was wrong with poor Brooklyn? She shoulda just used all 3 of the Beckham kids names. lol :-)
Reply:I know PLENTY of strange names! Now, I just heard this morning about a girl, named Sherayna. My friend's sister's name is Taschika (Tah-SHEE-kuh). They call her TASHA for short. Taschika's daughter's name is Nyoka. I also know a guy, named Tharen (THAH-rehn), %26amp; his twin brother, Thornell.
I know PLENTY more, but I'll be typing FOREVER if I continue.
Reply:I'm all for originality, and parents should think about the name they give their child. They'll have it for ever.
All of the names you have mentioned are great as far as first names go, but the last names don't go with it, which makes it bad.
Innocent is cute, she could be Penny, or just Cent for short.
Mayflower is stretching it a little, but still cute for a girl.
Reply:Yes. One girl was named Apple :+(
Reply:Personally, i don't like any of them. i prefer intersesting names like Ocean, Kaiah, India, that kind of interesting. x
Reply:I oddly love Kingston, but God, Kingston Cruz Romeo? Copied celeb baby names.
Warwick? Wow. Reminds me of warlock.
Kipling Kourt? That's like saying, "Yeah, I live on Kipling Kourt."
Innocent Wilda Dagby Jaynne is really, really bad. Just like. Wow.
Mayflower Dandelion. Well, maybe she'll become a florist.
I mean, just picture a job application.

Beer Facts and some hilarious jokes....?
Beer Facts
It was the accepted practice in Babylonia 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer, and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the "honey month" - or what we know today as the "honeymoon". Before thermometers were invented, brewers would dip a thumb or finger into the mix to find the right temperature for adding yeast. Too cold, and the yeast wouldn't grow. Too hot, and the yeast would die. This thumb in the beer is where we get the phrase "rule of thumb". In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts. So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them to mind their own pints and quarts and settle down. It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's". Beer was the reason the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. It's clear from the Mayflower's log that the crew didn't want to waste beer looking for a better site. The log goes on to state that the passengers "were hasted ashore and made to drink water that the seamen might have the more beer". After consuming a bucket or two of vibrant brew they called aul, or ale, the Vikings would head fearlessly into battle often without armor or even shirts. In fact, the term "berserk" means "bare shirt" in Norse, and eventually took on the meaning of their wild battles. In 1740 Admiral Vernon of the British fleet decided to water down the navy's rum. Needless to say, the sailors weren't too pleased and called Admiral Vernon, Old Grog, after the stiff wool grogram coats he wore. The term "grog" soon began to mean the watered down drink itself. When you were drunk on this grog, you were "groggy", a word still in use today. Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim or handle of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle", is the phrase inspired by this practice.
The Famous Banta
Banta was bragging to his boss one day," You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them." Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, "OK, Banta how about Tom Cruise?"
"Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it." So Banta and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door, and sure enough,Tom Cruise, shouts, "Banta! Great to see you! You and your friend come right in and join me for lunch!"
Although impressed, Banta's boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Banta that he thinks Banta knowing Cruise was just lucky. "No, no, just name anyone else," Banta says.
"President Bush," his boss quickly retorts. "Yes," Banta says, "I know him, let's fly out to Washington." At the White House, Bush spots Banta on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, "Banta, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and have a cup of coffee first."
Well, the boss is very shaken by now, but still not totally convinced. After they leave the White House, he expresses his doubts to Banta, who again implores him to name anyone else. "The Pope," his boss replies.
"Sure!" says Banta. "My folks are from Poland, and I have known the Pope a long time." So
they fly to Rome.
Banta and his boss are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Banta says, "This will never work. I cannot catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I will come out on the balcony with the Pope." And he disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican.
Sure enough, half an hour later Banta emerges with the Pope on the balcony. But by the time Banta returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics. Working his way to his boss's side, Banta asks him, "What happened?" His boss
looks up and says," I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the man next to me said," Who is that on the balcony with Banta?"
* The Most Gruesome Death
There was a long, long line of spirits at the gate waiting to get into heaven. Not all these spirits could fit into heaven, so the ones who died the worst death would be allowed in.
The first man in line started telling his story, "Well, Peter, you see, I knew that my wife was cheating on me so I decided to come home early from work one day to catch them in action. I got home and searched all over but I couldn''t find him. Then when I walked out onto the balcony, there he was dangling off the darn thing by his fingertips. So I ran and got a hammer then started beating him with it and he fell. Well, the fall didn't kill him, because he landed in a bush so I picked up the refrigerator and threw it on him. Although that killed him, the strain gave me a heart attack, and here I am."
The next man came up and started his story. "St. Peter, I always work out on my balcony on the 14th floor of my apartment building. I was on my bike one day and I fell off when it flipped. I sailed over the rail and I thought ''Please God spare my life'' and he did. I caught on to a balcony below me. I was even happier when a man discovered me hanging there. But all of a sudden he started beating my hands with a hammer so I fell again. But the dear Lord saved me again when I landed in a bush. But I''m here now because the guy threw his refrigerator on top of me."
It was now the third guy's turn to start his story. "Well, Peter, just picture this. I'm hiding butt naked in this married chick''s refrigerator....."

What did Eliot Spitzer do with the remaining hour and 55 minutes with the prostitute?
On March 10, 2008, The New York Times reported that Spitzer had on the evening of February 13 patronized a high class prostitution service called Emperors Club VIP and met for TWO hours with a $1,000-an-hour call girl, in room 871 of the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. under the alias George Fox. My question is....what did he do with the other hour and 55 minutes.....

American History Help!!!!!!?
I do not mind giving some help but look at your questions. Do you ever look up any of your homework? If you want to find out those little things not told to you then it is needed that you do some work yourself. For instance in how many of the above questions were the Masonic Lodge involved in directly or indirectly?
Reply:Your list is kinda long, but I will answer a few
12 Common sense was a book written in plain words that encouraged the americans
13 Were not strong enough, led to constitution
15 Wanted porportional representation for congress
16 Equal representation for congress
17 Combined both of these, forming the senate and house of representatives
3 Made the British mad and to stop taxes
18 Makes the US a two party system and insures stability
Reply:I agree with the first answer...look at the Masonic involvement with I would guess all of them, and you will get your answers.
Maybe see if you can also get hold of true and accurate listing of ALL the amendments, not just the ones talked about, and see how the United Kingdom is still your superior, Queenie is still above the President, and maybe you will get a brownie point for your efforts.

I need a Hook!!!!! ASAP PLZ!?
this is alittle lengthy but necessary. i need a hook for my research paper. i have tried to think of something good and catchy but cannot find anything. here is some of my introduction. pls help me if you can anyone...
Many Americans are voting to have God taken out of our government, but why? The United States was founded on the belief in God and he is everywhere in our nation. One can find references to God throughout our nation in historical documents, such as, the Mayflower Compact and the Declaration of Independence. Several of our National Monuments have some form of reference to God and Christianity as well. Some of the most common include the Liberty Bell and the Washington Monument. As many people know, on every form of currency from the penny to the hundred dollar bill printed, is the motto “In God We Trust”.
I need a Hook!!!!! ASAP PLZ!?
Where's your thesis? You have a hook, your question.
Reply:True, You already have a hook. Questions and Rhetorical Questions can be a hook. Though, if you didn't reconize that, maybe you could rephrase your question to where it becomes more of a grabber and catches more attention.
Reply:Depending on the direction you choose to go, here may be some headline-like possibilities:
-The God wars: Has Mammon won?
- God in governance: ever necessary/appreciated?
- God: a neo-irrelevance in Government?
- God's role in Government: Has/should it be necessary?
- Has Godliness obsession restrained our past and future governments?
- God-bothering in government policy: an easy-out rationale for conservatives, ignorants and bigots; an un-necessary irksome irritant to the indifferent; an iniquitous policy-base prejudicial and alienating to the majority non-adherents?
Any, or indeed all, the above may be used as an introductory hook. Remember the best hooks are designed to create interest through controversy/conflict to stimulate further attention. Don't offer an opinion (kills interest) until the conclusion of your evidence based summation.
Cheers, hope this is of value.

Proud of their families - funny or not?
The Smith's were proud of their family tradition. Their ancestors had come to America on the Mayflower. They had included Senators and Wall Street wizards...
They decided to compile a family history, a legacy for their children and grandchildren. They hired a fine author.
Only one problem arose - how to handle that great-uncle George, who was executed in the electric chair.
The author said he could handle the story tactfully.
The book appeared and in it was found the following passage:
"Great-uncle George occupied a chair of applied electronics at an important government institution, was attached to his position by the strongest of ties, and his death came as a great shock."

What are the chances that I am part Native American?
I traced my ancestry to English settlers in the early 1600's and to some passengers on the Mayflower. I heard that most people that have ancestry in America that far back have some Native American heritage mixed in them.
What are the chances that I am part Native American?
It is true that if your ancestors were on this continent before the 1800's that you may have "Native American" ancestors. But it is also true that while the "English" did some intermarrying it was more common among the French, Scottish, and Irish.
If you have an ancestor most likely a female that you can't find a surname for or no name at all, there is an even chance that she is "Native American". Many early "frontiersmen" had 2 families, one that stayed back home on the farm or in town and one "Native American" family out in the "frontier". These families most often did not know about each other. Just that their husbands and or fathers left for extended periods of time...
Reply:I don't think that will get you a free ride on the subway.
Reply:i would doubt it == i would think most of the folks that went west would be more likely!!!!
Reply:There is a possibility, but the English settlers didn't interact or intermarry with the Native Americans as much as the french did.
Reply:Very good. Because of racism and discrimination, many non-whites tried and continue to try to assimilate in the white population. Unlike blacks, Native Americans have less dominate genes for most of their features. Therefore when whites mixed with Indians, most of their offspring appeared to physically look more white. Given the advantage of being white in the U.S. most of these offspring assimilated into the white population leaving their Native American culture behind. Many Ethnicity's (Spanish, Italian, French, Arabs) have done this and continue to do it today. I call it mainstream America (Forget your roots). The point is that since most Americans only look at the physical appearance of other people vs their genealogy, the answer is yes. On top of that you probably have some other Races and Ethnicity's as well.
