*Sigh*. I'm so down right now. I was only taking TWO courses this semseter in my college, and I dropped them both. One was Anatomy and Physiology, and the other was Human Motor Behaviour.

I took an interest in Human Kinetics because 3 years ago I started exercising and lifting weights, and lost 30 pounds. I figured, I might as well take a few classes relating to health and fitness...

However, I came to the conclusion that I just don't fit in with these people. The students in my classes have all played on teams, they've volunteered in hospitals, and amongst other things...

The only thing that I have is MUSIC. I've been classically trained in piano since I was 5 (I'm 22 now), and I've learned several other instruments as well. Its the only thing I can see in my future, but I'm so scared because everyone and the internet makes fun of artists and that they don't make any money....

Are there any musicians here that make a decent living?

It depends where you live and what music you want to play. For instance, I have some musician friends out in hawaii. They told me if you play rock music you are lucky if the entire band gets paid $100 for the night, thats the whole band, so if you got 4 people, thats $25 each. However, if you play reggae music, you can make thousands. You need to find out whats popular in your area and if you like it or are willing to play it even if you don't. You could hit up craiglist now and find some bands that are getting gigs but need someone else for whatever reason, and you could start making money now.

I have a plan and it's very simple and I think its better then anything congress has come up with. Here it is, 

make anyone a citizen who meets these 3 standards. 

 

1. They must not have broken any other laws besides coming here.

 

2. They can speak the language.

 

3. They have been educating themselves somewhat.

 

If someone has been staying here for years, and cant speak the language, and has not even tried to learn, they obliviously are not here to contribute anything,but just to work the system. I mean if you really loved America so much and wanted a better life, at some point I would expect this person would want to learn the language and start educating themselves. Also you would of course deport the people who did not meet these requirments.

I correnty am in the market for a handheld and want to get in touch with my inner child again but have a few questions first.

For one, how long will the 3ds be around for and supported, I know lots of next gen stuff is still coming out, nintendo is not coming out with another handheld soon is it?

Also, What are the killer apps and must have games for it? I like mario  and zelda and kindom hearts, final fantasy, but have no idea if these are any good on the system, or which ones to get, what do you think? Feel free to also suggest games that I did not mention, and what can the 3ds do media wise? I'm kind of ill and because of this It can hard for me to do things so any help in this decision would be very much appreciated! ty

[QUOTE="bookwormwizard"]

Here are a couple
Isaiah 43:5-6-"Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, `Give them up!' and to the south, `Do not hold them back.' Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth"---

The bible predicts that Israel would become a nation again. Which it did, Israel is the only nation to disappear for 2,000 years (think about that) and come back. It's people really were scattered all over the world and really did come from every direction and the ends of the earth back into the land.
-------------------------------
Isaiah 27:6-"In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit."

"Israel is a major exporter of fresh produce and a world-leader in agricultural technologies despite the fact that the geography of Israel is not naturally conducive to agriculture.".-from Wikipedia because it says it better then I can.
------------------------------
These are not prophecies but still incredible.

Isaiah 40:22 -"He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in."

The bible says the world is round, this is at a time when people thought the world was on the back of a turtle swimming through space.

-----------------------------

Job 26:7-"He stretches out the north over empty space And hangs the earth on nothing."

Again, the idea of the earth hanging in space, people did not have these ideas at the time. There are many others but these are the simplest for me to explain off the top of my head right now.Inconsistancy


Isiah 43:5-6.
Self fulfilling prophecy. The religion tells its followers to care about Israel, and they rebuild the nation. Oooh, amazing.

Isaiah 27:6
Israel is modernly in a region known as the 'fertile crescent', the cradle of civilization. That's a self fulfilling prophecy. Do you even known where Israel is on a map?

Isaiah 40:22. ~"Above the 'circle' of Earth..."
It's an oblate spheroid, not a circle. And more importantly, Eratosthenes had calculated the 'circumference' to within a 2% error >200 B.C..

Job 26:7
Again, they were simply ignorant of the science of the time (which was being very nicely wiped out by your precious early Christians)

----

No man would die for something and spend a life of suffering for a lie.bookwormwizard

Cults and Cons. How many people have offed themselves with the juice for some stupid natural event?

 

I don't want to start a huge flame war by responding to something on page 3 but after reading this I had to laugh a little and respond (sorry).

 

Again, its followers did not rebuild israel, the UN did. Do you know how Israel became a nation again?

A circle is round, the earth is round, remember we are talking about a language that is very old, it does not have all the nuances that we have today. The point is, the world is round, this word has nothing to do with 2d or 3d objects. You cannt say its calling the earth flat, or 3d from that word. Only that it is round, which is correct.

This made me laugh, you are the one that appears ignorant here. This was not written by Christians, it was written 1500 years before Jesus (by jews), before there were christians, so this idea of science being wiped out at the time this was written by christians is actually impossible. Job is one of the oldest if not the oldest books in the Bible.

[QUOTE="MBirdy88"][QUOTE="bookwormwizard"][QUOTE="MetalDogGear"] Yes, you can have faith in something that has proof. I have faith in the Laws of Gravity. I have faith in evolution. That is the definition: Noun - Complete trust or confidence in someone or something. As for you studying the prophecies and finding them accurate, could you tell us which prophecies you found impossibly accurate?

Here are a couple Isaiah 43:5-6-"Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, `Give them up!' and to the south, `Do not hold them back.'

Which it did, Israel is the only nation to disappear for 2,000 years (think about that) and come back.

Again, the idea of the earth hanging in space, people did not have these ideas at the time. There are many others but these are the simplest for me to explain off the top of my head right now.

1) the direction of Israel can easily be manipulated by the bible,. its come back because of it, not a prediction of it. 2) Same with the fruit argument, I'm sure a bible bashing nation would try to fulfill anything said in the book.... so why does this mean anything when the directions were already given on what path they should take to reinforce their beliefs? 3) Considering other civilizations already worked out alot of planetary information far before 2000 years ago (E.G biggest example mayans) its not even remotely unlikely that people thought "oh hey, the moon is round, im guessing earth is too" hanging in space is a false prediction aswell as there is no hanging, thats an assumption based on a bauble or an apply in a branchless tree, its still incorrect. And I have more faith in the concept that Jesus died because romans and jews didn't want his version of religion..... all the sins aspect is just "saving face" on a death bed/cross, which is far more likely for the time. but hey, its impossible that this "leader" wouldnt be able to find out if someone ratted him out the night before right? I know what you are saying. but it seems in our society everything christianity said was "the first" or something, when in reality its a hybrid of previous religeons and concepts created far before its time. one wonders, why the religeon only came around 2000 years ago considering humans have been around much longer, how... convenient.

1. From what I understand here, you are saying because the bible predicted it, so people went and made it come true? You do realize that the UN is the one's who decided to give Israel there land back, are you saying the UN is trying to prove the bible? That's really wrong, no offense, what caused them to get there land back was the fact someone tried to exterminate them (the Jews), ever wonder why there's always someone trying to kill all the Jews? they are very important to bible prophecy, if they are gone, the bible means nothing.Besides, Ezekiel 38 describes a future event in were the nations come against Israel, all the nations it mentions are today against Israel. So, did those people decide to be against Israel because the bible told them to? 2. You do understand this is a dessert right? You don't just turn a dessert into one of the major exporters on fruit because a book said so 2,000 years, its a little harder then that. 3. Ill give you this one, however, I think it should be mentioned that when the bible does mention these things it is always correct (someones going to make a joke about the 6 day creation but I'm not going to get into a 100 page debate on evolution) but, you understand what I mean right? As for it being a fake story, Its absolutely true that the apostles (the 12) believed in what they said, because they died for it. No man would die for something and spend a life of suffering for a lie. That is why when they say, he raised from the dead, that's one of the many reasons I believe it, they spent there life proclaiming Jesus and being abused for it. You cant say there crazy, because there's no way all 12 of them are nuts and all told coherent stories even years later and continued to do so even when faced with death. So why would they do this unless they really saw Jesus heal people, and unless He really raised from the dead? Because if its not real, I would love to know. It would be far easier not to be a Christian. Also, I hope this did not sound rude or anything, I know when people talk about religion, it can get heated, I don't mean any disrespect, just so you know :) Also, Jesus dieing for peoples sins was not a half baked idea thought up at the end of his life but was for told in the old testament thousand of years before hand and also Jesus talked about his own death before it happened and before anyone ratted him out.
