Do you like history?

coffeecoffee310 @coffeecoffee310 (69) • China 23 Nov 08

History helps us understand changes and how the society we live in came to be. Any time we want to know why something happened, such as a war in the Middle East or the Balkans, a shift in political party dominance in the American...

paddyk87 I would agree with what you say totally. One important aspect of history is seeing things through the eyes of people who lived in the past. their view on life,politics,religion etc. History is a story really and we can tell alot from the past and figure out...

How do you deal with the foreign money after the travel?

After traveling abroad, you will leave some foreign money. Do you keep the foreign money or will you exchange it with the money in your own country?

paddyk87 Try and talk to him one on one about his "addiction." Dont take an aggressive stance and try to reason with him. He probably feels like he needs to drink to cope with life.look at how he started and go from there. above all dont start off by giving out about...

jend80 @jend80 (2071) • United Kingdom 29 Oct 08

This quote was on a bag I got buying b ooks from Waterstones - "some books are undeservedly forgotten, none are undeservedly remembered" I'd disagree with that, what about Mein Kamph for example? What books do you think...

remembered

undersvedly forgotton books

paddyk87 I don't think any book ever should be forgotten no matter what the content is. remember what voltaire said, "i don't care what you say, but ill defend with my life your right to say it."

Why do some people hate Christianity ?

GLOBALSHEEN @GLOBALSHEEN (1005) • India 18 Nov 08

Christianity is a good religion. Why some people seems to be hating it ? Do you have an answer.

4 responses

paddyk87 maybe you should study the history of the christian faith. I would say that people probably hate christians rather than the religion though. The crusades were an unforgivable act.

paddyk87 I think you've jumped to an uneducated conclusion in thinking that the pirates are going to used for ilegal activities my friend. somalia has been devestated by war since the early 90's so maybe these pirates are doing it to eat/survive,did you ever think of...
