Did Jesus die on the cross, or was he just in a swoon?

Makro74 @Makro74 (591) 8 Mar 10

I ask this question because by all accounts, Jesus was only on the cross for a few hours on Friday, yet crufixions usually last three days and nights. - Pontios Pilate, the governer assigned Friday knowing the Sabbath next day,...

mswengel Considering how close this EQ is to the New Madrid fault zone (NMSZ) it's certainly an area to watch. Here's a good map of the area: http://www.ceri.memphis.edu/seismic/recenteqs/ And you are absolutely right. Earthquakes are picking up in frequency and...

mswengel I suppose that's the nature of politics. Sometimes people just hang on to the lime light - not letting the next person have two words. I agree with you though - I used to call myself a Republican. I've always been conservative - but now, the Republican...

Did you cry because Michael Jackson died?

smooch091784 @smooch091784 (973) • Philippines 21 Aug 09

Michael Jackson as to all people say that he's a legend. Well actually I really think he is, cause he's unique and he's the only "Michael Jackson". People adore him, inspired by him and he's an influential person or shall I say...

mswengel This sounds like it's coming from one of mylot's advertisers. If this is happening, you NEED to report it. This isn't a minor issue.

mswengel Of course I've said bad words. I AM human after all. That doesn't make it right, of course. That said, I believe a person with language problems can have a good heart - but need work in the expression department.

mswengel Yes, I have heard that. But it's a load of junk. There's no way that your handwriting is going to affect the course of your life! That's between you and God. :D

mswengel I'm guessing you're right on the line between red and yellow. Somehow your reputation number stayed the same, but you're close enough to yellow that it gave you that. OR...It could be a bug. :)

mswengel It absolutely will NOT solve our problems. NO. Our problems are caused by human nature - which is basically NOT good. Our native inclination is to do whatever it takes to get our way. If that means hurting others, stealing, lying, cheating, what have...

mswengel I'm definitely a night-owl. There's just something about it I like. It's quiet - fewer distractions, I guess. I can easily stay up all night without even thinking about it.

mswengel Oh wow, Rozie!!! You REALLY need to get away from Windows ME. You should try Ubuntu Linux. It's a LOT better than Windows ME (and more stable too.) http://www.ubuntu.com Don't be scared by that L-word. It's Linux for human beings - not geeks. :)
