Do Christians look for opportunities to be martyrs, sacrificing themselves like mythical Jesus?

This to them is the ultimate act of Christian faith, right? To die like their mythical hero Jesus would be an honor for them, right? If you combine this yearning for martyrism with their belief that the afterlife holds greater pleasure than their present life, it’s a bad combination and a combination of beliefs that devalues life, right? Their dogma makes them devalue their lives, doesn’t it?

Now the media are controlling us now ?

The Olympic torch doesn't belong in communist China, anyway. The Olympic spirit and communism don't mix. The Olympics celebrates competition while communism tries to stamp it out in the name of forced equality. I don't care what happens to it anymore, I'm not watching it.

Which defeated VP candidate was not immediately forgotten, but continued to enjoy superb publicity?

and made truckloads of money out of it? Which also begs a question: does such ability to turn a personal defeat into personal monetary windfall make that person smart or stupid?

Comment est mon francais?

Overall it is good. There are some small errors through the text (for example you would be better to say "Posez moi toutes les questions que vous voulez") - "une question" is feminine, and it is much better to user the verb "poser" rather than "demander" in such a case. You shouldn't say "demander une question." After that at the end you could end with something like "C'est tout ce qui me vient � l'esprit." You are doing very well with your studies though, so keep learning and you will get even better.

Pc build ..............................…

nice budget build, but i would recommend going for a larger, more expansive case with room to expand later. if you need it, i would also go for a better graphics card, unless you don't play games-then the 5670 will be fine. if you do play 3d games (like call of duty) then i would recommen an ati 5770

Baby would have a good chance of survival but would be very poorly and would need to be in an incubator for quite some time – my older brother was born at 26 weeks in 1981 and he is now a grown man with a little girl of his own.

How many trans fats a day are too many?

companies are allowed to round down. so if its not in the top 5 ingredients then that means there is probably not THAT much trans fat. if it says "hydrogenated" anything in the ingredients but the nutrition table says 0 trans fat. that means theres less than 1gram. still trans fat isnt good for you it can cause lots of problems. try to stick to foods with non trans fat most of the time. occasionally its ok to eat food with trans fat. if it says 0 trans fat you can eat it but try to stay within a serving..or less

What should I do, I dont want to be like this anymore???

You need to stay the way you are. You're not the least bit fat, and be careful not to lose weight. You'd look great in a bikini the way you are now. If you weighed 120 lbs, you would look disgusting in a bikini you'd be so skinny.

What can I do about the way my in-laws treat my husband?

From the time we first moved in together, my husband and I have gone to his parents' house every Sunday for dinner and to spend time together, usually watching a movie or playing games. In March, his younger brother moved away to college out of state, and now whenever we go over, his mother spends most of the time on the phone with the younger brother and ignoring us. His father usually leaves the room and does something else. Since his brother left, we are more or less ignored whenever we go over. We have even tried going less frequently, perhaps twice a month or once every three weeks, and this doesn't seem to make them want to value the time we spend with them any more. His mother either talks about the brother or spends all her time on the phone with him, and won't even sit through a movie with us without interrupting it for the phone call and never coming back to finish watching with us. This has irritated my husband - who has always been close to his family - to the point where he is talking about not going over there at all anymore. At the same time, I wonder if his mother is holding some grudge for something she perceives that we did or did not do to wrong her and is doing this on purpose - she is that kind of person. It's heartbreaking to watch, and I don't know what to do about it short of calling his mother up and saying, "Do you have an issue? Because you're pushing away your son." None of us are very confrontational and I don't want to my nose in and make things worse, but that family is already pretty shattered - his uncle hasn't spoken to his father in 18 years, for instance, and my mother-in-law is not on speaking terms with her sister - and I don't want to see it break apart worse, when at the time that I met my husband, they were the most important thing in his life. Does anyone have some advice?

Help with potted herbs?

Bought 12 pots of herbs a week ago, for potting on, & all looked very healthy. Compost in post was damp. Have kept indoors & in original pots for time being. Some started to look a little limp, so checked under bottom of pots through drainage holes & compost seemed dry, plus some roots had come through. Stood pots in a little water to replenish, now they look worse! Herbs are mint, oregano, chives, parsley, basil & thyme. Is there anything I can do to resurrect them/dry out/help them flourish? Thanks in advance.

Do you have a child with Asperger's?

When my son was about two, he started to show signs of AS. He was obsessed with socks, which I thought was kind of funny at first, because he could play with them for hours on end and would always go into the laundry room to look for them. He had speech difficulties, did not like being touched, cried a lot for no particular reason, didn't like being photographed, and didn't make eye contact when you talked to him. Hope I helped!

Help plz??? I'm really worried!!!!?

You are normally around 14 when your body becomes more womanly...Be glad you are really skinny, though. =/ I am 14 and although I am skinny, I am not a toothpick and I am pretty muscular. I have a shape to me and it stinks. =( Anyways, at 13 I bet you probably will get a little taller. I am 5'7 also, and I seem to still be growing a little bit....o.0 It varies by each person, though.
