To that, he could plead innocent, saying the death row (ex-)inmate's soul must not have left the heart and forced him to go on a killing spree, then sue the state for mental damages and stress. This ad space for sale.

I'm pretty sure the judge isn't going to tell you whether the bribe will sway his decision. I think telling the truth goes against the way of the law. This ad space for sale.

I know and that's why we need to kill off all of the godless people that are going around driving our country into sin. But this cleansing needs to happen all around the world as well as within. When you see a child who is going into a bad crowd and doesn't realize it, do you not want to help him? The world is like a little boy who means the best but doesn't really understand the consequences. We need to show them the way. This ad space for sale.

Bush is brave...... with the lives and tax money of others. Gads....the Republicans..... war on Communism, War on drugs, war on Terrorism..... When is the war on the Republicans going to begin? Next is the war on Democrats and the Godless. Once we get rid of them, we'll be once again truly be, One Nation Under God. This ad space for sale.

Thank god for sarcasm. We should thank God for a lot of things, specifically all of the blessings He has bestowed on us. Sarcasm, however, is not one of those blessings. It is a sin, and a tactic the devil uses to get people to turn against Him, our Lord. This ad space for sale.

Um ... If it wasn't for Bush, his balls of steel, and his desire to protect his country at all costs we'd have been blown up by Arabs many times over. The fact that you are here and have the freedom to go online and say bad things about our fearless president should be reason enough to kiss the ground he stands on. This ad space for sale.

I have a question. Marijuana was once a legal substance too. Are you against the banning of that? Get away from recreational drugs. What about ephedrine? wormwood? Two other substances that for a while were legally allowed in foods. Unlike most chemicals, there is absolutely nothing good that comes out of trans fat, and it causes major health issues. A certain amount of fat is actually needed by the body. Trans fat does not fall under this. I'm sure there's somebody else here who knows a bit more than I do and can further explain.

I second this. Meditation/praying does wonders for aiding the decision process. Whether you pray to a being for clarity or meditate to bring clarity within yourself, the process and the result is essentially the same. This ad space for sale.

For decisions where neither is right nor wrong, generally, as I'm still young and single I take the decision that is more frightening in the short term. This has generally resulted in leaving everything behind and going somewhere where I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I've since found it to be good general advice, for myself, that if I realize I am scared of a decision, I know which to take. I can't say it has faltered for my essential well-being and long-term contentment. Whether to resuscitate or not? You usually know what your loved one wishes simply by the way he acts and things they have said in his life. Whether the person making the decision will actually pay attention to that or their own desires (understandably, as it's a moment of extreme stress) is a different question. But, in the event I don't know, I would base it on whether I would live with the equality of life that is expected of the person. There are three decision you can make. You can decide yes, no, or decide not to decide. Only the weak and fools take the last. Something I was taught early in college, was once you make a decision, stick to it. No regrets, no looking back, it's done, and go with it. If it was a good decision, great. If it was a bad decision, make a note of it and you learned something. Either way, you come out for the better. That was among the best advice on life that's ever been given to me, even though it was specifically aimed at judging a beer die game.

clicky This find could lead to some interesting re-evaluation of our history. interesting stuff. And for a moment, I thought that the world was only a few thousand years old..... silly me Jeez ... isn't it obvious? God left these as a test of our faith. I wish people wouldn't just grab everything and assume it's "scientific proof" that the Bible story isn't true. This ad space for sale.

I am grateful. Undoubtedly. I haven't lost my friends. I'm just taking a sabbatical and looking for some new experiences and make some new friends. Also, the more time away the easier it becomes to say no. Besides the multi-day hangovers and puking for twelve-hours straight, no medical problems. Something else I have no idea how I have pulled off. This ad space for sale.

I know this isn't to me, but as I make fun of religious people constantly, I'll answer my opinion. I'm not one to decide whether a person of faith is an addict. I understand what faith is. I have faith too. It's just that I focus my faith on my inner strength, and, in times of stress, I make sure I follow the guidelines that I have laid down for myself (through a variety of sources, all depending on the subject matter.) For example, if I'm landing a parachute and realize I'm landing downwind in too fast winds and start getting stressed, I follow the guidelines of "relax, breath, count, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, -- flare!" -- yes it has happened. I see the true purpose of the Bible, the Koran, the Gita, the Tao, and the other texts as the same. They provide a set of guidelines to follow when we don't otherwise know what to do, to give us a way to lead a good and proper life. However, no one text can cover all facets of life, especially not thousands of years after first written, and when one attempts to do so, without regard for things that have since been proven scientifically, yes, I believe that person to be an addict in his or her own way.

If this Q is too personal, just say so, but what made you realize you wanted to change? and furthermore, what did you do to change? Was it intervention from friends/family? or just you had the inner strength to realize that you didn't want to live like that anymore? I'll answer this directly. This hits close. About a year and a half ago I had a good job, and was making way more money than I knew what to do with. I was also selling coke on the side, which provided me with a lot of free coke. Almost every night I'd be hammered off my ass, usually from alcohol, but I'd add whatever I could to the mix. I can barely believe I'm not dead and I haven't been arrested. I was one of the very functional abusers. I still made it to work on time and got more than my my fair share of work done. The thing that's bad about being a functional addict is nobody knows what's really going on, and many people (esp other users) are quite impressed. It easily facilitates the lifestyle. Why I quit drugs? I was aware enough to know that I was going in a downward spiral. I was stoned one day and decided to fuck it, quit everything, go to Europe for a couple months and figure stuff out. I went to Europe, did a lot more drugs there, but for the most part, had my last big blowout. When I came back, I really slowed down, but over time, realized that with my friends I would constantly be offered or forced things I knew I really didn't want, but was too drunk to say no. Coke was really the only problem, because it's too fucking good. You might be able to shut it up for a night, only to have it come up a few weeks later as a thought, "Man it would be nice to get another line again." Once you've taken that line, it starts pulling me back. Last December, I decided I was going to stop paying for it. Plain and simple. I told my friend who was doing it constantly to stay the fuck away from me when he had it and not offer me it ever again or I'd deck him in the face. My main intent was to remove my ability to get it anytime, then if it showed up one night, whatever, no big deal. It worked. Two lines in nine months that just showed up on random occasions. No other desire for it. Since then, I also decided to leave my town just to get away from the consistent drunkenness and constant peer pressure. Got a job in Chicago and we'll see where this goes (moved here six days ago), but I have no doubt that my earlier life of reckless behavior is over, save for vacation. Overall, I was lucky in that I have too much of an addictive personality that I have absolutely no attention span and couldn't get addicted to just one drug. I was also lucky in that I was capable enough to keep the rest of my life on track, so I graduated from college during this time and get a good job, and lastly, and by far most importantly, I was lucky enough to have family that supported me and helped get me back on my feet after I maxed out all of my credit in Europe, and friends who knew to step off when I said I'm done. I know I'm very lucky in all of this, and it's why I'll tell everybody who is considering trying, don't fucking bother with coke or meth. They're way too good, and especially for people who are otherwise very productive, because for a while, they'll be even more productive. It's when it's almost too late that the negative effects start to be noticed. This ad space for sale.
