USA have to many fears to face! President Obama's stimulus plan is turning America into Western Europe, warns Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky). He says it as if it were obvious to everyone that a "Europeanization of America" is a bad thing and does not require an elaboration Even we in Europe ask our selves if this is the right way to go! But what would we choose if it means we go down the drain with the flow, and half of the population will be with out work! http://www.wikio.com/video/837330

I believe welth and high education standard make less religious people, but at once we have wars, nature catastrophes and economic downtimes it makes people back to their religions. If there is a god, he is a god for everybody, but I believe if so, there is many gods good and bad!

Do you deny a muslim or a jews teaching could be as right as an christian? Is Buddhism wrong teaching? (Devils work to mislead people on their way to heaven)

What if a person like Jesus show up today? Who would believe him? You know as I know, if 10 people see an accident, you will at least get 3 different answers when you ask what happend? When the world is spread to 100 people who where not there, you will have more than 50 different answers how the accident happend. Make it a couple of houndred years between as well.

That's hardly any more than Hitler, and god had millennia to do it. Pretty poor effort for an omnipotent deity. If you take the % of the population at the time, it will give you a different picture. How many people have not been killed and tortured in his name?

I kill ... I wound ... I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh. -- Deuteronomy 32:39-42 In a previous post, I've listed and counted God's killings in the Bible. But I only included those that said exactly how many were killed by God. I came up with 2,391,421. But that didn't include some of God's most impressive slaughters. How many did God drown in the flood or burn to death in Sodom and Gomorrah? How many first-born Egyptians did he kill? The Bible doesn't say, so there's no way to know for sure. But it's possible to provide rough estimates in order to get a grand total, and that's what I'm attempting here. (New total: 33 million.) The total is listed in the link http://dwindlinginunbelief.blogspot.com/2007/01/how-many-has-god-killed-complete-list.html

Notice how many gods you reject There are literally thousands of religions being practiced today. Here are 20 of the most popular, along with an estimate of the number of followers: Christianity: 2.1 billion Islam: 1.3 billion Hinduism: 900 million Chinese traditional religion: 394 million Buddhism: 376 million African Traditional & Diasporic: 100 million Sikhism: 23 million Juche: 19 million Spiritism: 15 million Judaism: 14 million Baha'i: 7 million Jainism: 4.2 million Shinto: 4 million Cao Dai: 4 million Zoroastrianism: 2.6 million Tenrikyo: 2 million Neo-Paganism: 1 million Unitarian-Universalism: 800 thousand Rastafarianism: 600 thousand Scientology: 500 thousand http://godisimaginary.com/i28.htm

I am still wondering! "I am still wondering why this is so much more correct than any other religion, and why they know they are right? If they was born in an other culture, would they believe as strong as they do now just because they need something to believe and follow? " Why do you see something I can not see? I am only left with alot of questions.

Still a hero! http://www.nypost.com/seven/02162009/news/nationalnews/no_pot_charge_for_phelps_after_photo_155483.htm The interesting thing is how peoples opinion changes if he had to go to court, and got convicted with a sentence for the abuse of a drug! I guess he would have been the zero and all sponsores would have run away......

He was and still is a very respected man outside the US!

Comedians without coke in their nose?

well it is just okay where I come from, and for a superstar 6 000 000 is just pocket money right? Mike Tysen had 40 000 000 just for one match right! Front page in magazines, fame, hero etc! You know what I am talking about........ All this only for two times 4-6 weeks every year with pills and a few ampulls, and a very low risk to be caught! How much is the Wrestling superstars making a year for their show? And it is all fake as well.......

Steroids means A team 5 000 000 usd + sponsors deals full time pro player No steroids means B team 50 000 usd a year + part time job! I think the math do it selves for most athletes.

Can anyone tell me why we do allow short selling? Is there any other economic model we could have based a trading system on instead of a global stock marked? In finance, short selling or "shorting" is the practice of selling a financial instrument that the seller does not own at the time of the sale. Short selling is done with intent of later purchasing the financial instrument at a lower price. Short-sellers attempt to profit from an expected decline in the price of a financial instrument. Short selling or "going short" is contrasted with the more conventional practice of "going long", which typically occurs when a financial instrument is purchased with the expectation that its price will rise. Thus, being "long" is just a way of saying that you own a positive number of the securities; being "short" is just a way of saying that you own a negative number of the securities. Typically, the short-seller will "borrow" or "rent" the securities to be sold, and later repurchase identical securities for return to the lender. If the security price falls, the short-seller profits from having sold the borrowed securities for more than he later pays for them. However, if the security price rises, the short seller loses by having sold them for less than the price at which he later has to buy them. The practice is risky in that prices may rise without bound, even beyond the net worth of the short seller. The act of repurchasing a shorted security is known as "closing" a position. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_selling

I remember he said he was sitting in the same room with friends who smoked! They had no picture of him in the newspaper with the bong you know

Baseball, Wrestling, American football is hardly a international sport, but Swimming is! I think it is a hypocrati the whole thing. If he had a bud in his hand it would have been all good, as i have said before. Bud is legal, but pot is not.

Like Kuwait for an example? or Saudi? Or Thaksin who was Thailands head?

I noticed a news article mention the biggest religious parties was lower as expected, but to be true I have not seen to much regarding this vote, and today it is election in Israel as well!

When I worked as an security on the streets, I had to deal with drug addicts, and I asked one "customer" once why he cintinued doing this to him selves? His answer was "When I am on drugs, I have only one problem, and that is to get my next shot! when I am sober, I have every kind of a problem to deal with, so for me it is easier to stay on drugs" Our society is buildt on christian values, and we have been raised in sin and guilt! It is our culture! For an christian it is easy, he can make the sin, and then go and make a prayer! He is done with his guilt. Jesus forgive the sinner........who regret.

The Chinese public is beginning to be aware that its government is sitting on a lot of money—money not being spent to help China directly, money not doing so well in Blackstone-style foreign investments, money invested in the ever-falling U.S. dollar. Chinese bloggers and press commentators have begun making a connection between the billions of dollars the country is sending away and the domestic needs the country has not addressed. There is more and more pressure to show that the return on foreign investments is worth China’s sacrifice—and more and more potential backlash against bets that don’t pay off. (While the Chinese government need not stand for popular election, it generally tries to reduce sources of popular discontent when it can.) The public is beginning to behave like the demanding client of an investment adviser: it wants better returns, with fewer risks. http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200801/fallows-chinese-dollars/4 The Chinese economy is doing very well against the background of the global financial crisis, the chairman of the Chinese Central Bank, Zhou Xiaochuan said during a press conference yesterday. The financial system of the nation is stable, whereas the economy of the country continues to cope with the financial crisis well. The absence of the liquidity crisis in the country is a peculiar feature of the situation in the banking sphere of China, which differs the nation’s economy from those of the USA, the EU and the majority of other countries. http://english.pravda.ru/world/asia/27-10-2008/106623-china-0 The premiers of China and Russia accused America of sparking the economic crisis as the Davos political and business summit made a gloomy start. Wen Jiabao and Vladimir Putin both blamed "capitalist excesses" for the global downturn, as one followed the other to the podium at the opening of the World Economic Forum last night. The Chinese premier began with a speech asserting that the worst recession since the Great Depression had been caused by blind pursuit of profit. In a thinly veiled attack on America, Mr Wen blamed “inappropriate macroeconomic policies of some economies” and “prolonged low savings and high consumption”. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/economics/wef/article5610252.ece

I do not "hate Catholicism" I am just surprised to see so much people, so involved in something I can not see!

It have to be more serious than that, since one billion people believe in the message they are giving! People is willing to die for it, and poor people is paying what they can give, to make sure their church look good! (The church they have, reflect how much they give. Especially in poor places you see almost finished churches, just waiting for donation to make it finished) I dont know where to start, it seems like an endless power triumph. It is a very rich church community, and have so much power over peoples life world over. For them to make some charity their way, to make their way to the peoples hearth is just a small gest and a investment. It is almost impossible to understand how they managed to impact so huge masses of people in so many cultures. But we do know some simple rules that is common and used in many different ways. An enemy, guilt, and promise of "gold". I should also add an "hero" that is almost like an human. On the good side it gives people hope there is more to come after this life, and also gives them structure to build their lives on. A strong tribe to feel belonging to. On the bad side it gives people guilt, messes with cultures, directly involve in countries politics, birth control (guilt, fire and smoke) take money from the poor, and I am going to stop before I go and talk about all the wars, and messing with converting tribes with sword,guns and bombs, if not the fire and smoke worked out. Witch hunting in many different ways during the centuries. I am still wondering why this is so much more correct than any other religion, and why they know they are right? If they was born in an other culture, would they believe as strong as they do now just because they need something to believe and follow? People can be good even they do not have any god to believe in. Goodness do not come from a book. Charity is not a Christian invent, but religion it is a very good political structure to make people to work for you.

Lance Armstrond did drugs?

You can use/try pot for some time, but still do not agree to legalize it, or talk warm about it. Neither feel good about have done it, especially he now he have a lot of young kids looking up to him!
