just wanted to write a tribute to my best friend whom i lost last week, it was one of the most painful experiences i have ever been through.
i have no children, my puppy was my child.
i got him from a golden retriever rescue organization when he was 2. he was recovering from a car accident, still a bit skiddish, but he chose me to take him home (the foster mom said that he never responded to anyone like he did me).. he was always happy to see me, greet me with a toy in his mouth, he never judged me, never cared whether i was "bad association", he was always there when i needed to smile and remembe that i was not alone in the world.
Sorry for your loss.
Dogs are peoples best friends.
I have lost 3 in the past 2 years and I have one dying of cancer as I write.
I had 4 cocker spaniels the father and 3 sons.
The first week after the loss is terrible, the worst.
Then as time passes we return back to the present.
We never forget but it becomes easier to endure and carry on.
i always had my doubts about that but i was at least hopeful that all would work out as they said.
i saw so many "faithful ones" who were true believers expire before they got the prize, that i started to think it probably wouldn't happen in my lifetime.. what a bunch of suckers, huh?.
I was told going to meetings and out in service was the pass to paradise.
So for a few years in the early 70's I believed I would never die.
this is just my own observations and pondering.
i was thinking about the way the body's immune system.
is under a constant barage from our surroundings and internal problems like cancer, and if you look at hiv sufferers.
Hi James Brown, many of our words are historical, based on languages that came before. Some languages are more descriptive than others. Some languages have 13 words for the word "love". An eskimo has to say a whole bunch of words to say "camera" - "thing which takes pictures" or something like that. If an English man says something is designed, it's not necessarily what he means. The design of something is about it's form and function - however it came to be.
Ballistic, thank you for your perspective.

How do you know the ants don't get together and talk and make designs?

We have so many words in the english language.
I think you scientist should come up with better, original words to say what you mean, instead of using words that
have clear deffintions and implications.
among jehovah's witnesses self-sacrifice is a price everybody is expected to pay.. members of this religious group are told they are being watched by the world as a public spectacle in an ancient roman coliseum.. all sorts of sacrifices must be transacted to convince jehovah of their sincerety and to titillate the worldly people with spectacular acts of faith.. .
jw's give up the best secular education and the highest-paying careers.
it is a sacrifice.. jw's have been urged to give up marriage and child-rearing to devote time to door to door evangelizing work.
The primitive notion of self sacrafice is still alive today.
A certain number of people say they go in the military to sacrafice their lives so America can be free.
Going into the US military in the 20th and 21st century has nothing to do with freedom but everything to do
with carying out the wishes of the multinational corporations that control this planet.
i was watching the beverly hillbillies the other night and i have to say, the writing and the acting was terrific!.
another classic is all in the family.
loved that show!.
Seinfield was my favorite,
Then King of Queens,
Modern Family
of all the lies espoused by the wtbts, perhaps the most seductive, most cruel and downright evil, is to tell grieving people that their loved ones will be resurrected, and will rejoin them in a paradise earth, forever and ever.
of course, the easiest lie to be accepted is one that people want to believe.. but taking someone when they are at their weakest, their most vulnerable, and offering such a false hope is far more cruel than anything contained even in account of the first sin, with the serpent tempting eve with the forbidden fruit.
that was simply the serpent mucking up the divine plan by appealing to her ego: no harm, no foul.
JB, I dare say there's more JWs who suffer from depression than atheists. As an atheist, I find the thought of living a life based on lies, where I'm not allowed to make up my own mind, as truly depressing! No amount of anti-depressants or alcohol can fix that!
Jehovahs witnesses are very bad and big liars.

I think either the ants get together to plan the design for the ant hill, or they were progamed to by the desinger.

If you believe in evolution, which many do. In my opinon you shouldnt use the word design.
The word design makes many english speaking people think of the word designer.
What I say is everything about the human body is designed to live in this world, and it's amazing that usually it does so well for
Maybe you could say the human body appears capable to live in this world.
The human body somehow developed the ability to survive in this world.
But using the word designed indicates a designer at least in the America I grew up in, which is not the America
that anyone lives in today.
