On the evening of Oct. 31, millions of people in US and some other countries celebrate Halloween with its symbolism of witches, devils, skeletons, bats and black cats. Children are dressing up as ghosts and monsters . Many parents encourage their children to celebrate Halloween, assuming it to be harmless and innocent fun. In recent times, children have taken up the practice of dressing in Halloween costumes and visiting homes in search of edible and monetary treats, lightly threatening to play a trick on the owner if a treat is not produce. While this allows children to have fun and enjoy a little harmless fun but some criminal activities go under these masks. Moreover, I don't understand parents [either believers or atheists] allow their children to celebrate witches and goblins, they are teaching them that it's acceptable to deal in demonism and witches. History shows that behind the dark mask of this popular children's holiday reside the terrors of an ancient Celtic festival renamed All Hallows Eve. Where, how and when did such strange customs begin? Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in).The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead supposedly rose from their graves to walk the earth. By A.D. 43, Romans had conquered the majority of Celtic territory. In the course of the four hundred years that they ruled the Celtic lands, two festivals of Roman origin were combined with the traditional Celtic celebration of Samhain. The first was a day in late October when the Romans commemorated the passing of the dead. The second was a day to honor the Roman goddess of fruit and trees with Apple as its symbol This probably explains the tradition of "bobbing" for apples that is practiced today on Halloween. Centuries later, Irish and Scottish immigrants brought the custom of Halloween with them to US. After massive immigration of the Irish to the United States during the great potato famine in Ireland (1845-46), Halloween eventually became a national event in US. In the seventh century, Pope Boniface IV designated November 1 All Saints' Day, a time to honor saints and martyrs. It is believed that the pope was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related Christian holiday. The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints' Day) and the night before it, the night of Samhain, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween. Even later, in A.D. 1000, the church would make November 2 All Souls' Day, a day to honor the dead. It was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, the eve of All Saints', All Saints', and All Souls', were called Hallowmas. We in Australia we do not in general celeberate it. Also Egyptian, Russian, Greek do not celeberate it. I want to know whether people in your country celeberate Halloween?

Religion Shouldn't Be Inherited? Yes? No? I donno.
kasm replied to broflovski's topic in General Discussion
Your parents have chosen you to born, when to born, where you born, your name, your school etc etc. Your parents have chosen to you your father or your mother, when they selected their partner or having sex. Your parents chosen for you your nationality your mother-tongue. You have inherited from your parents, your genes, color, shape, your blood category and many many from their features and charcterstics The government and the laws recognized that and put them in the laws of custody, cultures, non-discrimination....independent person, driving age, election age, candidacy age,.... Your parents are responsible for your fault when you still dependent. Your parent choose for you what they think is the best for you: your clothes, your school,, your food, your drink,..... Then what the difference for the religions. They think you it is better to you their religion because they believe that they chooses the best. They think the values and commandment for you in their religion will be good for you. You have the right when you become independent to change your name and your religion as well. Imagine when your parents go to church or other religion temples, do you expect they will leave you home and seek baby-sitting? Imagine when your parents and other relatives celebrate religion festival, how they isolate you from that? -
1. George Walker Bush got 49% of the voters in first election and 51% in the second. [What 's democracy?]. 2. The quality of his administration are not as we know before. Take example the the Secretary of state Colin Powell and now Condie Rice are not goods in this job despite their qualification for another jobs. Compare them with Madeline Albright, Lawrence Eagleburger, James Paker , George Schultz or Heney Kissenger. Compare them when they discuss an issue or interview and judge by yourselves. Also compare theDefence Secretary Rumsfeld with the past defiance Secretaries. 3. G. W. Bush nominated John R. Bolton to be US Ambassador at UN . The Congress was opposed to this nomination because of problems with Bolton history and because he is not recognizing the UN by his word. [nothing is called UN]. But President Bush appointed him without the confirmation of the congress in 4. G. W. Bush nominated the White House counsel Harriet Miers for Supreme Court If she will confirmed, she will become a Judge in the highest Court without being Magistrate or Judge before. 5. George Walker Bush invaded Iraq without UN approval on false reasons. The US-led invasion of Iraq was an illegal act that contravened the UN charter. United Nations' top two weapons experts said that the invasion of Iraq a year ago was not justified by the evidence in hand at the time. 2,000 Americans have lost their life for nothing and more to come [i very sorry for that]. 6. G. W. Bush Rejected of Kyoto Treaty (Kyoto Protocol). In March 2001, President George W. Bush announced his administration's opposition to the Kyoto Protocol, the 1997 international accord setting limits on greenhouse gas emissions. 7. US wanted withdraws from the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty with Russia. 8. G. W. Bush administration Shifts Stance on Nuclear Treaty: On July 31, 2004, in a significant shift in U.S. policy, the Bush administration announced that it will oppose provisions for inspections and verification as part of an international treaty that would ban production of nuclear weapons materials by any state of highly enriched uranium and plutonium for weapons. The Bush administration still supported a treaty, but not verification. 9. G. W. Bush's North Korea policy still in histation: In March, 2001, Bush surprised the world by announcing, that the United States would not resume Clinton-era talks with North Korea. Three months later in June, 2001, Bush surprised the world again by having a sudden change of heart. He decided to resume the talks. The talks continues for many year and in last meeting on September 20, 2005, the diplomats from the six-party talks mingle in Beijing announced that North Korea agreed to give up nuclear weapons and nuclear programs in return of help and assurance to not be attacked and given a light-water nuclear reactor. BUT next day , North Korea said it would begin dismantling its nuclear program only if the United States provides a light-water reactor for civilian power FIRST. The demand could threaten a day-old agreement between North Korea and the five nations involved in nuclear disarmament talks.

In the beginning, the U.S.-led Coalition forces said that their mission are liberation and not occupation. In the summer of 2004, the U.S.-led Coalition Provision Authority handed over power to an interim Iraqi government . In January 2005 was election to new Assembly to write the new Consitution and new governement was declared. This week, a British force of more than 10 tanks backed by helicopters attacked the central jail of Basra[ 340 miles south of the capital], and broke down the walls and freed two British soldiers, allegedly undercover commandos dressed in Arab clothing, for allegedly shooting two Iraqi policemen, one of whom died. What Liberation? What Democracy? and How much sovereignty Iraqi authorities really were granteed?

1. Sorry I realised that I have visited aboutpaypal.org before my first posting when I clicked on on the link was given by Saint Michael. In fact there is no Paypal.org. 2. When brainless mentioned in his first post in this thread and I quote from him: and since the pages of paypal has not this character i.e. offering their "PayPal Alternative" on every page therefore I have realised that the discussion is about something different to PayPal that I know. So I clicked on the link given by Saint Michael and found aboutPayPal.orgl. When I click on the link "for the truth" So I thought that aboutpaypal.org nentioned by brainless is another thread in the forum and what I have already visited under paypal,org [i think was redirection which I didn't notice]. 3. To be fair and in safe side all of us have to say his/her experience and not relies on stories from sites who are fighting paypal for their agenda. I know that many times paypal has frozen accounts to recover the loss of people paid to somes after legal battles. That mean they helped but they don't take money for themselves or before court or invistigation authorities have decided. 4. This remind me that many safelists are opposing to give them yahoo email for subscription even though yahoo is the best free email. That because yahh is fighting spam and the adnminstrations of these safelist don't like that.

1. There is confusion between paypa.com and paypal.org. The second one is a fake and I expect that it is scam. 2. The idea of paypal.com is to protect you and avoid sending your credit card information every time you pay. 3. Establishing the accouint takes long test if you want to deal with more than few hundreds. 4. As the case with cerb, I've used Paypal for years and have never had trouble. 5. we need to cooperate to exchange the information for sake all of us. To do that we have to give clear facts and real experience to find explanation or declare the problem . Saint_Michael has jumped to conclusions as " stealign from me" but in fact He has no real experience with them . Also in later post he said "" how easy it is to hack into paypal account" 6. brainless answered another thread "aboutpaypal.org" and expect that all of us has visted that thread[i will visit it later]. Also this added confustion since he didn't realise or mention that paypal.org is a fake of paypal.com without mentioning that. I took some effort to discover that. 7. In general the service are free . But your balance could be used for their benefit as the current accounts in banks where they not give you interest. Your job is to not leave big account there and transfrer the big amounts to your linked bank. 8. Sometimes PayPal protect you from scam dislike the case of the transfer of western union . If some people complained against a scam, PayPal freeze that account. That why some people alleged that they stole there money. 9. Scams dislike paypal because dislike because paypal have the real information about the memers [their names, addresses, creditcard, banks] and not as western union scams use fake names and addresses. Many times I sugested I pay by paypal instead of their request of paying by western union. If they refuse then they are scam. 10. eBay bought PayPal i.e eBay is the father company to payPal that why the two names be found in many of their sites. 11. Sometines we receive Fraudulent Emails asking reinformation about your details [Paypal never to do that]. The fraudulent emails pretends to be from a well-known company, such as citibank or PayPal in an attempt to get personal information from you. They send these spoof emails hope to use your information - such as credit and debit card numbers or account passwords - to commit identity theft. Sometimes in these email they asked to click on link which in fact fake or bring to you virus or worm. Few days ago, I have received a faked email from so called "Support PayPal" with heads "PayPal Security Departmen conformation code Å¡239-FUH ". It is fake because paypal.com never ask these requests or not address me in my names and surname. I have reported that email as spam.

We have to not rely on reports from CIA or any other intelligence after the lesson of Iraq. We have to use the commonsense and our minds. China is building successfuly the welfare of its citizens AND HAS NO REASON to destroy that by using Nuclear weapons without be attacked since the enemy will respond with the same. The lessons of past world wars, make anyone think before attacking. China is huge country and has huge population but this one factor in winning but not sufficient to win. The weapons and weapon of mass destruction is more in US than in China who build and test these weapon many years after US. China will not intervene in another countries affair. China will not start war . Only China want return Taiwan and that is its right. If China starts to return its territory and US will intervene to defend Taiwan [which is wrong but is expected from US], then it will conflict with US . If US attack China by nuclear weapon, then why China don't respond with the same weapon. I expect both of them will be with clasic weaponsbut not with nuclear one. US used nuclear bomb when Japan hadn't it. US didn't use it against the Soviet Union because it will be hurt her with the same. But anyhow for the tiny possipility China has to prepare to any scenario. To whom said Israel will use Nuke as last resort, I say every one will say that. And the question where Israel will use it. If it use it against surroundings countries, then it will affect its population too. History shows that Israel has survived 3 times wars and won on all and has occupied parts from 5 countries with normal weapons. My opinion is Israel don't want nuke for the Arabs. It want it to be recognized as important country..

It is better than weapons expenses for destruction and discovering fossils (looking for the past). It encourages research which benefit the progress in many other field : Mathematics , Astronomy, Electronic, Computer Hardware and Computers Software. Telecommunication, Robotics, Medicine, Problem Solving, Systems Engineering, Project Managements, Photography equipment, special Material, Nutritions. Clothes etc etc It may be protect the earth one day who knows. It may solve the Earth population problems one day. The race in research and development was one of the cold war advantage.

Nothing brainless has added more than the facts I already reported when I told: Brainless give a web page where that news posted in forum called marxism somewhere . A member of that forum has posted this news as I posted it here in Xisto forum. I don't know the purpose of that?. All the Australian newspaper today has published that news. But this not mean that he is marxist and if so , the free domecratic country doesn't criminalised that. By the way I don't know him or I didn't hear about him never before but through ABC tv news [our governement free non comercial TV- The Australian Broadcating Corporation]. Even I am not member in participation in any movement or any parties. I don't attend any metting or conference except scientific ones. But I was feel free that I do that when I want. I aware of my right and about every issues and activities in my county and all the world from 50 years. The question is about freedom of speach which we will loose it falsely by anti-terrorist laws and that nothing to do with security matter. By the way the UK terrorist laws since Irish attacks didn't prevent the London bombers. So they need another measures and will need more and until the freedom that gained in two hundred years will go.

I heared from the TV news a while ago that an American citizen is in custody in Melbourne Australia. The American teacher Scott Parkin came to Australia in June on a six-month visitor's visa. Scott has complied with that visa completely . But he was arrested yesterday after his visa cancelled because, the Anti-Deportation Alliance says, he is considered a threat to national security He is US peace activist and anti Iraq war compainer. He has attended a number of protests in Australia but has done nothing wrong .Greens leader in Australia wants to know who ordered Mr Parkin's deportation. "I'd like to know whether the orders for his arrest came from the Pentagon," he said. The Federal Attorney-General of Australia said "the decision was based upon a security assessment" and the "decision that's been taken by the Minister for Immigration ". and added that "there are provisions by which the decisions can be challenged if people are inclined to do that." That mean challenge is possible The anti-terrorsim law is against terrorists and not against peace activists.

It is not in any country as US or Australia the banks gives you loan for bying a car with guartee of the car or the business . Add to your knowledge that in most countries you have to save all price before buy anything including flats , houses , car, and even an equipment [fridge , stove, vacum, microwaves ovens, washing machines, etc etc] . There is exceptional to government employee where you can arrange buying with installment with their salaries guarntees. -
Egyptian president Mubarak, who has ruled Egypt for 24 years, had won a new six-year. He could complete 30 years in power.Mubarak, 77, has been in power since 1981, when he succeeded the assassinated Anwar Sadat for four times in referendum in which Egyptians could only say yes or no to a single parliament-nominated candidate.The election was the first ever in which Mubarak faced a competitor . His government has touted the change as a major democratic reform. But opposition were sceptical, with most major parties boycotting the election. The voter was lower than expected (only 23 % of the voter) and the election was marred by "the bias of the state apparatus, the unfairness of the election commission and mistakes.According to the election commission chairman :- The turnout was 23 % of voter- Mubarak?received 6,316,714 votes (88.6%). - Second place went to the first of the opposition with 7.3%, - The third candidate received 2.8% and - 2.3% went to the rest of 7 candidates..

Ukraine President Viktor Yushchenko has sacked his entire 7-month-old government citing corruption included Prime Minister Yulia Tymoschenko.. It is the first scandal under Yushchenko, who was elected after an "Orange Revolution".

That what the police said in the first day. Not every thing they said is true or the whole truth. As what facts contradicted what they said in killing the Brazilian man. Also the theory of the Egyptian Ph.D chemist has not approved. In the trial of second group bombers we will hear that they were make people afraid.

I believe in attraction at first sight . When people are suddenly and powerfully attracted to each other they may be the victim of seducing spirits. And there are times when a vacuum created by loneliness, a desire to love and be loved, is seemingly filled when some magnetic personality walks into your life. This powerful attraction could be caused by any number of factors with sex appeal often times at the center. But love at first sight somtimes is a romantic delusion. This is always a dangerous situation that can lead a couple into illicit sex or a wrong marriage or relationship. These sudden love affairs are not love but infatuation which usually, if given time, will blow over. Of course the principals involved in such an affair are positive they have at last found their one and only. Determined restraint and sufficient time to come to know the person is very essential. True love is not a sudden mystical magnetic force that overpowers two people in their desire for each other. Such affairs can turn into despicable disgust in a matter of days, weeks, or months. Even though sudden attraction might in time develop into true love it is usually physical attraction or the personality of the person to begin with. And often the person we see to begin with turns out to be altogether different after we come to know them This is why sufficient time to come to know each other is so very important. Although the physical attraction and sex are very important, this is no basis for marriage. There must be common interests and understanding that enables two people to communicate plus honor and respect for each other. Practically you may be attracted at first sight or you have lust at first sight and you start think that this may be your partener in life. Then you start dating or attemt to let him/her aware of you. You will try date his/her and talk to him/her. Once you know him/her suffiently and know that there are no reason prevent both of you to continue with her/his then you rember that you attracted to him/her from the first sight SO YOU CAN SAY I HAVE LOVED FROM THE FIRST SIGHT. This is different from the case in which you know the other long time, in school or college or work and know enough information about his/her [relegion, culture, status,hobies, opinions,interest...] and in one point of the time you decide that this person is your future partner and start attempt dating, engaging, ... Love must be mutually real for two people to experience true sexual satisfaction. The harmony of hearts and minds as a result of love based upon honor and respect for each other is absolutely necessary. Not only must sexual desire be gratified during intercourse but the mind, the heart or the spirit of the persons must experience satisfaction also. Illicit sex or sex without true love violates these principles and makes it impossible for a couple to achieve true sexual harmony....

We know that t=d/v .........(1)where d is the distance and t is time of the journey if the object was moving with constant velocity 'v' also in the problem the direction is one direction i.e no complication We have two unknowns d and t so we will try to build 2 equation from the given information to solve the two unknowns. 1. the object was moving with average velocity 72.8 km/h. So by applying formula (1) we get t = d/72.8............(2) 2. Emily takes a trip, driving with a constant velocity of 87.5 km/h to the north except for a 22 min rest stop So by applying formula (1) but with consideration that if the velocity was 87.5 km/h the actual time will be less by the time she was resting i.e 22/60 hour [ we have to use hour because the velocity was per hour ] then the second equation will be: t = d/87.5 + 22/60 .........(3) Solving (2) and (3) we can eliminate t and find the required 'd' d/72.8 = d/87.5 + 22/60 d/72.8 - d/87.5 = 22/60 d [1/72.8 - 1/87.5 ]= 22/60 Then use your calculator to find 'd' the distance required to finish the solution [ I hate calculators ]

The threads was "Human Suffering Always Brings Out The Worst, is mankind naturally evil?" . See the words "human suffering" "brings" and "evil". That is we Analise the phenomena and the cause.It is my opinion that the human can do evil if he think that he will not be caught. That why cheating partner and white collar crimes are increased dramatically now-day. So it is my opinion that if the human believe that he/she will be accountable before hidden power, he will not do that. There are many who go to Church or Mosques, or Synagogues but in fact they are not true believer . I agree that some Pastors, Shaikh or Rabi could do evil too because they looking for job and business and not from their heart.. I am now complaining for the reply of Milovoriel . Words like "rubbish", "sick" were not suitable and reflect the same problem that is as long I can not catch that person , he/she can say as he want.. That is not opinion but dirty words. He can say his/her opinion in civilized manner. I didn't accuse every non believer with unmorality. " if the person is true believer he/she will not do that" that not mean " if the person is not believer he/she definitely do that. Saying "He/she can do" is not equivalent to He/She definitely will do " but more likely will do since no fear to be accountable before hidden eyes. I will prepare tutorial in the basics of logical reasoning, to improve the overall quality of debates. But first people has not use dirty words.
