I do not recall a passage that prohibits polygamy in the bible. :? Isn't it a modern law that prohibits polygamy?

Although English is not an easy language to learn due to its irregularities, probably it will stay. I just remembered that in the movie "Blade Runner", the detective spoke street language. This language is a mixture of Spanish and Asian languages. I wonder such new language will emerge...

My sister's piano teacher was a tough woman. She used to cry before the lesson because she was scared of her so much. That was sad. I love playing piano, organ, and keyboard. Someday, I'd like to learn guitar.. :-)

Please do not use the word "jap". It?fs offensive.

I've read about a person who forgave the murderer who killed her child. I could not believe it, but it was a true story. She said, "I forgive him". You might say, "Is she mad?" At least she is free from the anger. Anger kills us, really.

"Forgive and forget (even though it's difficult sometimes) " is my policy. :-) Carrying a grudge affects our health. (It's true :nuts: ) If you want to live a healthy and happy life, forgive and forget. That's what I think.

I actually had a pair of shoes, which I used more than 10 years! :bravo: My father used to drive Volks Wagen Beetle. He had it for 9 years, and not a single repair was required. :cool:

I watched on TV the other day that one pedophile said, "If you released me, I'll do it again. Because I cannot control myself". I've heard that many of pedophiles are the victims themselves. What I cannot understand is: "why do they hurt children if they know the pain?" Several years ago...

Exactly. I feel rather sad when I see racism and hatred for others. Is it no wonder that the majority of humans on this earth are designated as "sheeple"? They would rather be told what to believe and follow others rather than, heaven forbid, think for themselves. For if they DID think for...

I watched about this topic on National Geography the other day. Geneticist Spencer Wells analyzed DNA from people in all regions of the world, and concluded that we are descended from a single man who lived in Africa around 60,000 years ago. What do you think?

I don't agree with the legalisation of cannabis. It should be used only for medical purpose. If you are healthy, why do you have to use them? For fun? Do you exactly know the effect it has on you? Driving while you are stoned is dangerous and can kill someone. Just because somebody is doing...

Do you believe in reincarnation? While Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism support this view, mainstream Islam tends to reject reincarnation, and Christian theology teaches that life is not cyclical but linear. (Although some people believe that the original Bible contained many passages...

Revenge is wrong. Some years ago, someone did terrible thing to me. He asked for money, and I didn't give it to him, so he tried to destroy me. He did terrible thing to me and to my family. It was his revenge. I was so angry and hurt, I wished him dead. Then I became ill. I had to have a...
