Question #1:

Theists do you agree that not believing in God is a matter of Self Pride?

It is said that those who don't worship God worship idoltry be it self worship, material worship, humanist worship, ego worship. I think all humans are guilty of ego worship but it's almost like atheism stands for embracing it. It's like they don't want to humble themselves be it to God, themselves, or anyone. Admitting you fall short is all in the glory of self improvement and gain.
saying you don't worship your ego is saying you're not human which again proves my point of not being humble before God...you may not be fully understanding of what i mean by ego worship. There's a lot of books out there about the ego and the full spectrum of what it is. God frees man from the ego
to whoever said this we are all guilty of sin..those that want to be good people will acknowledge their sins be forgiven and be cleansed and be formed into a better version of themselves. It's like when you make a mistake that hurts you...sin hurts you...you don't go on continuing that mistake over and over you humble yourself admit your faults and mold yourself into a better and happier human being.
@ RICO JPA you can call God by many names doesn't change who God is
@ Call N Chosen do you think material things is what's most important? what you can get?..What about being a good person? how about being thankful?
no theists answer my question the religion and spirituality section is filled with atheists...looks like God is on your mind

Question #2:

Bells Palsy? HELP! :-(?

On Friday, i was driving from my daughters babysitters house to work, and as im walking to my office i noticed i couldnt move my right side of my face! i was soooo scared i just knew it was bells palsy (my sister hada severe case of it about 5 years ago which lasted months). luckily mines not too noticeable unless im talking. i went to the ER and now im on some type of steroid. I also went to get accupuncture the next day. I dont feel any improvement. im afraid this will be premanent!! if you had it, how long did it last?how long did it take to go away? any suggestions? the acupunctiorist gave me nasty tasting herbs to drink as tea. so im hoping the herbs plus antibiotics will heal me faster. the doctors said this wont effect me in any way..... ummm hello what about my self esteem??? i feel depressed and dont want to be seen!!! i cry when i think about it and tell myself that this is nothing, theres other people who have to live with terrible diseases and things. someone help!!
oh also, im 21 have a 2 year old, married, work full time, and took a night class a few weeks ago. i was told stress could cause this, but my doctor says viral infection. my accupunctiorist says its from drastic changes in weather. like being inside then going out into the cold. which makes me think he is right since this happend to me on my way to work with the a/c blasting!

is it possible for this to become premanent? i have an aunt who's had this since she was a baby.
when my sister had it, she was on antibiotics for months with no results, then she went to accupuncturist 3 times and it went it away.

also, the dr. says its just a coinsidence that we both had it. if its a viral infection is it possible to pass it to my husband or daughter?
RED DOG... THAT WXPLAINS WHY THE ACCUPUNCTIORIST PUT A NEEDLE IN MY NECK AND KEPT TOUCHING THE BACK OF MY NECK LOOKING FOR A NERVE

Question #3:

TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF...?

do you answer this question? Let give examples as such: i,e,

"I'm an experienced communications specialist with extensive knowledge of public information tools and techniques. I've developed comprehensive communication plans for major public events, written dozens of articles accepted by worldwide publications, and created specialized educational programs for adults and students. I am always eager to learn new methods and procedures, and have implemented continuous improvement techniques in my past positions that saved money and increased productivity. I like working with people and enjoy group projects, but am also a self-starter who doesn't mind working on my own. I'm a volunteer with the local chapter of Special Olympics and enjoy participating in community events. My goals are to complete my Master's Degree and broaden my experiences with community relations."

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY???
MILTON, Wow thanks, I thought I had done extensive research on that particular question, but what you noted makes sense...my only ? We were always told not to mention sex, marriage etc.. thank you I will approach that ? next time more practical..

Question #4:

Why do people see industry and modernization as improvements & superior lifestyles when its killing our planet?

Can someone tell me one good thing its brought to us in the LONG RUN of not just humankind, but life as a whole??

...So why do so many people mistake the lifestyle of working 9-5, fueling money into a corrupt Gov't through taxes, getting fat & diseased off of processed foods, lacking morality and self respect AND respect for everything around them, Greed, polluted air, the extinction of many plants and animals and so much more thats come along with "modernization" as "better" than those who, say, live in a hut in Africa/Asia and survive off of their own land?
We have a much higher life expectancy, but we also have more diseases & health problems than some other places/people.

Question #5:

Are there young adults doing good works? We hear lots of negative, what about the positive...?

...side? Give two examples.
This was written long ago about the young people of the time:

"We live in a decaying age. Young people no longer respect their parents. They are rude and impatient. They frequently inhabit taverns and have no self control." - Inscription, 6000 year-old Egyptian tomb

Have we changed much since? What improvements do you see? Can we hope for a better generation?

Question #6:

Can someone please read my 250 word paper?

It's for my college english class about an obstacle i've overcome. I would appreciate feedback and any tips for improvement.

Learning English

I was only about to begin 2nd grade when I moved to the United States from México. I was leaving behind everyone I loved and grew up with. The country I was raised in. I was enrolled in a new school a month later. I couldn’t speak English at all. Not one word. It was difficult for me to communicate with my teachers and classmates. At times I felt self-conscious of my accent. I didn’t like talking too much because I was worried people would laugh at me.
Doing that only made me feel worse. I was depriving myself of something I enjoyed doing. To me, that was torture and I knew it wouldn’t do a thing for me if I was planning to master English.
I adapted to a new motto of not caring what others thought about the way I talked. I gathered up the courage to speak out and I was instantly surprised at the way everyone opened up to me. Nobody ever teased or mocked me. Instead they were dying everything they could about México and hear me speak Spanish. I even met two other students who spoke Spanish. I never thought that learning English would be so exciting. It was truly an adventure.
I smiled to myself as I thought about those first few days I had refused to talk and realized I was only trying to protect myself. However, there was a greater need within myself awakening from dormancy, the need to be heard.

Question #10:

What four Whitney Houston songs is Patrick bateman talking about in american psycho?

When he says they made it to top 10. And also, which is the one about self-preservation and improvement?

Question #11:

What is the cheapest gaming PC that can play pretty much any game on Steam (mostly by Value) at around 60 FPS?

I can build it my-self so yeah. And something cheap and nothing flashy, something that can be upgraded. (Like a striped-down gaming PC with alot of room for improvement (motherboard real good, other stuff not as good but I want it where I can upgrade it later to a high-end PC)

Question #12:

About Getting Reviews on FanFiction.net?

Click Here

Hey so up ^ there is the link to my new story. I'm not gunna be one of those people who begs you to read it or anything, promise, although if you are a member of FF and it wouldn't bother you to check it out and review, I'd really appreciate it and would look into your stories in thanks. Why I'm here though is because while some stories on FF only get 1-4 reviews while some never even get any at all, I've seen others that number reviews in the thousands that aren't even as well written as the no review ones! I'm not bragging or calling myself on low self-esteem, so I'm not sticking my story/writing in either of those categories (well-written or badly-written) but I was merely wondering if those who DO have that many reviews have done anything to solicit them (advertised them on other websites or some other form of advancement) because I'm not asking for a million reviews, but one of the reasons I posted a fan-fic (which I don't usually write so much as original works) is so some people could review and judge my writing style. I really want to do something writing-related (journalist, advice columnist etc.) when I graduate college (I'm just a sophomore now, I've got time) and wanted to get some opinions on if it was worth pursuing, how well I write, any improvements I can make with my writing and so on. It'd be a great help to me if you'd either review yourself or just explain to me a good way to get some people to read my story and make suggestions about my writing. Thanks ^_^

By the way for any who would like to read? The link is at the top of the question. It's a Charmed fanfiction : ) Charmed is my all time favorite TV show. It centers on Paige (played by Rose McGowan) who is my all-time favorite character, with special appearanced from two people from the Charmed Ones' pasts. I'm not a rip-off and don't always write fan-fiction so please don't rail at me for that of all things. I love to write original work and am currently working on one. Fan-fiction is just an easy way to blow off steam and get some opinions about how I write.

Thanks in advance :)

Question #17:

Is this still a stamina problem?

Alright, so a little history: I used to have MAJOR premature ejaculation issues. My first 3 partners, I’d literally come on the first stroke or, on the best occasions, within the first 5 to 10 seconds. Obviously this was super embarrassing . . . but I really worked at it; first by getting super good at oral sex and things like that so I wouldn’t totally disappoint me partners, and then but doing a lot of research to learn techniques that would help and just as importantly got more experience and plenty “self practice”.
At this point, I’ve made a LOT of improvement and think I’ve pretty much conquered the MENTAL aspect of the issue. That said, I think I’m just naturally prone to be a little on the quick side; physically just super sensitive. So while intercourse lasts much longer, I’m never able to keep continually thrusting for longer than about 20-30 seconds at a time. I have the control to stop when I’m getting close so intercourse lasts a lot longer (and i still take care of my partner’s orgasms in other ways) . . . but I feel like I’ve reached the peak of how much I can improve my stamina. So, my question is . . . is this common and appropriate: thrusting for 20 to 30 seconds, pausing (sometimes switching positions) and just continuing to do that until the periods of thrusting get shorter and shorter as things progress and eventually I finish. Or are most people able to continually thrust for longer periods of time?
thanks for your answers and your honesty.
oops. yer prolly right. sorry. thanks TinyAzn

Question #18:

Is it better to communicate what we are, or as what we would like to be?

Some things are exactly how we are feeling, eg. feeling angry on someone, feeling lazy, feeling unmotivated sometimes, feeling jealous sometimes, feeling like venting/complaining sometimes, feeling like expressing my feeling sick etc. All regular human emotions. Being real.

But I am finding a tussle between this side that wants to be expressed and what I would like to ideally Be, when I am communicating with others.

I either don't express this real self, or even if I do express, I am not completely honest - because deep inside, I know that i can be better. A self-improvement thing.

So does this mean, I am not being my natural self to others and not showing my true colors? The way others usually are? And could it be possible that my ego is trying to make a good impression on others when I change whatever I am going to say, into something positive?

In the end, i am left confused - about who I really am in this moment and what I should be to the world. To be honest and real to me and others? Or to truly rise high with effort and leave the natural me behind.

Question #19:

Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer....?

Maybe self-destruction is the answer.

Question #20:

after getting shot down...?

I ask a girl out, goes well… usually get 2-3 more dates into it, and everything seems to be going fine. But with the last three girls I have gone out with @ this point something goes wrong… I have no clue what. The most recent example; it was the 3rd time we have gone out, went to a tennis game and I thought both of us had a great time. Night came to an end everything was great, a few days after I call to setup going out again and the line gets laid down… friends blabla, aka shot down, that part I get & understand.

I know better than anyone my personality can be a little abrasive but in the interest of self-improvement I VERY POLITELY try and pick her brain to see what it was that turned her off. Not to re-kindle or anything just so I know for next time.

The problem is, no matter how nicely and respectfully I do this I great treated as a leper? I get my messages ignored, no matter how clearly I say I’m just trying to figure it out for myself.

It’s like they are pissed at me… but they broke things off and all I am trying to do is figure out why. Is this some kind of test women do or something? I just can’t figure out why they would react like this. I mean in reverse situation if I see things not going well with a girl and I cut things off I am not angry at her. It’s becoming a pattern for me and its EXTREMELY frustrating because every time I try and figure out why, I get messages ignored and learn nothing?

Anyone have advice on this one? thanks
