  • Ishmael a result of disobidience to God?

    If Ishmael is the result of Abraham's impatience and disobidience to God, does that make the Arab race a mistake that should never have happened? Is the reason Arabs believe in polygamy a rationalization of Abrahams fornication with Hagar and the illegitimacy of Ishmael?

  • Chemtrails or Contrails?

    Any commercial pilots out there? Are "chemtrails" an unfounded conspiracy theory? I find it hard to believe that the captain in charge of a plane would be unaware that he is spreading some sort of mind-control dust or something. Anyone have anything reasonable and intelligent to say about this?

  • Career diesel mechanic?

    I'm thinking about changing careers from an Able Seaman to a diesel mechanic. I have never had any training, but I learned the basics as a mariner for about ten years. I found a company willing to train me for free. Is diesel mechanics a good career? Will work always be easy to find? Does it pay a decent rate? Is this a good idea?

  • Westerbeke diesel starting problems.?

    I have an old Westerbeke (same as Perkins) 40 hp marine diesel. It started up immediately on the first try until about 6 months ago. Now I have to crank it for several minutes to start the engine. I changed the oil last fall as well as all fuel and oil filters. She dosent appear to be losing oil or coolant. What could be wrong? I have to almost drain both batteries to start the engine.

  • Has anyone looked at Obama's birth certificate on Whitehouse.gov?

    I zoomed in on it and there are several very obvious pixel discrepancies. Also you can see obvious places where it looks like someone drew text which plainly shows up as a solid line where the rest of the text is pixelated consistently with the rest of the background. It seems obvious to me that this is an electronically altered document.

    Can anyone on the Left explain these suspicious anomalies?

    No personal attacks or name calling please. I'm just asking a question so that I can learn.

  • Should I give up dating?

    I grew up watching my mother marry and divorce multiple men and take money and property from them each time. Even as a small child, i knew she was a liar and a manipulator and extremely self-centered. My stepmother was verbally and physically abusive to me in a very extreme way. I find that I have little in common with women as far as our interests and conversation. I have dated about ten different women for periods of a couple of weeks to two-years. Most of them have been intelligent, sexy, capable, nice, attractive women, but I always feel like half of the things they say and do I don't like or have any interest in whatsoever (ie, talk about arguments with other women, paranormal activity, Progressive politics, small lap-dogs, interior decorating, spa vacations, etc.).

    While relationships have good points, I mostly feel depressed when I am dating, because I am exhausted by all of the extra energy it takes to feign interest in their interests, and the constant disapproval of my opinions and interests. I am attracted to women, but I just don't like them very much. This gets worse as I get older. I am currently dating a woman who I love very much, but Im feeling worn out and depressed by the constant emotional conflicts that are probably typical to relationships. I think that I am happier when I am single, but I don't want to lose her for the wrong reasons. I just feel like life would be more peaceful and easier without dating.

    I have sought counseling, but women still irritate me terribly.

  • Why are so many female soccer players lesbians?

    I think its is because the lesbian brain is similarly constructed to male brains and they are more apt to engage in characteristically male behavior. (like aggressive sports).

  • How does government create jobs/wealth?

    I understand that government can create a job, but only in the public sector right? These employees still require money that comes from tax dollars. So govermnment jobs dont contribute to growing wealth in this country, right? It has to take money earned in the private secor and pay these people with our tax dollars. Am I correct in this train of logic, or am I missing something? All logical and convincing statements are welcome.
