I live in Taguig, Philippines. From my top floor balcony you can actually see where the US Cemetary is. Need to go there and take pics sometime as my father told me via skype he pulled bs duty there for a couple weeks one time.
He's 56 and 1/2 years older than I am. Have half brothers and a half sister. He's 26 1/2 years older than my biological mother. He's a character.
One of the Japanese Colonels or maybe a General pulled 50,000 K troops into Manilla and made the Army root them out....blood bath!
Wow he is old school! The Army actually did more landings than the Marines! Shermann's dad caught in the Pacific Theater too! The PI was a slobber knocker.... Your Dad is a Stud!
Just curious what about WWII? I'm too young, but my father who is 91 and still alive back stateside served in the Army in the Philippines, New Guinea, and Hawaii. Not many WWII vets still around.
But is it 6K yrs old. I know you don't think so,.......... but I'd like to hear if there are any thoughts on it from the more ardent crowd......beside, "I go with the bible".
Pangea is an accepted fact!
Question....do Xtians believe that not only is the Earth 6K yrs old but.....that all the land was one continent at the time?
Cool profile pic insanant!
Jason

Shermann
So how was the walk ....Chaotic?
You a parent? You make your kids read?
Funny my family was talking about that....after the family fight.....lol.......College Degrees are going to be rare...I grew up lower middle class 2 of the 3 kids got degrees ....2 of the 3 have military service. Bottom line ...10 years from now....no lower middle class in college!
Most people don't even have one. Averages of statistics say less and less people are graduating high school. Although the numbers are skewed because the population increases and the U.S gains more liability everyday.
I knew it you had a Business degree! Me I got a Bullshit Ag-Ed Degree my sister has a MBA...... I can spot a Business Degree a mile away! Lol...3 ...I barely got 1!
I have three. BS - Accounting BS - Administration MBS - Finance.
How about you?
Nice....so like I know you trade ....but like do you have a college degree!
Pretty much but not quite to the side of atheist. So agnostic would be correct.
One can not know things unknown till they are known. Faith is something, IMO, that people believe in for self preservation. I have seen people go mad with faith and seen people run mad without faith, a mixture of both is essential for the mind to stay sane.
Lol Agnostic.....me too I am a Methodist!
Not really, you? I believe in a higher being or existence. I believe everything is recycled.
So like...are you religious?
Welcome! Your thoughts about anything!
You're Welcome. You nailed it!!!
Here we go
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Thanks for posting!
I guess if he made them earn it somehow that could be a little more just?
A flashbulb memory is a highly detailed, exceptionally vivid 'snapshot' of the moment and circumstances in which a piece of surprising and consequential (or emotionally arousing) news was heard.[1] Flashbulb memory is an appropriate name for the phenomenon in that it suggests surprise, an indiscriminate illumination, and brevity. The name is inappropriate as an actual photograph is indiscriminate and preserves everything within its scope. Flashbulb memories, in actuality, are only somewhat indiscriminate and are far from complete.[1] Evidence has shown that although people are highly confident in their memories, the details of the memories can be forgotten.[2]
Flashbulb memories are one type of autobiographical memory. Some researchers believe that there is reason to distinguish flashbulb memories from other types of autobiographical memory because they rely on elements of personal importance, consequentiality, emotion, and surprise.[1][3][4] Others believe that ordinary memories can also be accurate and long lasting if they are highly distinctive, personally significant,[5][6] or repeatedly rehearsed.[7]
Flashbulb memories have six characteristic features: place, ongoing activity, informant, own affect, other affect, and aftermath.[1] Arguably, the principal determinants of a flashbulb memory are a high level of surprise, a high level of consequentiality, and perhaps emotional arousal.
Some things you don't forget.

"NEARLY 2,000 years ago, Jesus, often called the greatest man who ever lived, was unjustly sentenced to death. While he hung on a torture stake, an evildoer hanging next to him said derisively: “You are the Christ, are you not? Save yourself and us.”
At that, another evildoer who was also being executed rebuked the man: “Do you not fear God at all, now that you are in the same judgment? And we, indeed, justly so, for we are receiving in full what we deserve for things we did; but this man did nothing out of the way.” Then he turned to Jesus and petitioned: “Remember me when you get into your kingdom.”
Jesus replied: “Truly I tell you today, You will be with me in Paradise.”—Luke 23:39-43.
Jesus had a marvelous hope set before him. The apostle Paul noted the effect that this hope had upon Jesus, observing: “For the joy that was set before him he endured a torture stake, despising shame.”—Hebrews 12:2.
Included in “the joy” set before Jesus was living with his Father again in heaven and eventually serving as Ruler of God’s Kingdom. Moreover, he would also have the joy of welcoming into heaven proven and trusted followers of his that would rule with him as kings over the earth. (John 14:2, 3; Philippians 2:7-11; Revelation 20:5, 6) What, then, did Jesus mean when he promised the repentant evildoer that he would be in Paradise?
What Hope for the Evildoer?--That man did not qualify to rule with Jesus in heaven. He is not included among those to whom Jesus said: “You are the ones that have stuck with me in my trials; and I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom.” (Luke 22:28, 29) Yet, Jesus promised that the evildoer would be in Paradise with him. How will that promise be fulfilled?
The first man and woman, Adam and Eve, were placed by Jehovah God in Paradise, a garden of pleasure called Eden. (Genesis 2:8, 15) Eden was on earth, and God purposed that the entire earth be a paradise. However, Adam and Eve disobeyed God and were put out of their beautiful home. (Genesis 3:23, 24) But Jesus revealed that Paradise would be restored and that it would come to include the entire earth.
When the apostle Peter asked Jesus what reward he and his fellow apostles would receive for following him, Jesus promised: “In the re-creation, when the Son of man sits down upon his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also yourselves sit upon twelve thrones.” (Matthew 19:27, 28) Significantly, in Luke’s account of this conversation, instead of saying “in the re-creation,” Jesus is quoted as saying “in the coming system of things.”—Luke 18:28-30.
Thus, when Jesus Christ sits down in heaven upon his glorious throne, along with those who will rule with him, he will establish a righteous new system of things. (2 Timothy 2:11, 12; Revelation 5:10; 14:1, 3) By means of Christ’s heavenly rule, God’s original purpose for the entire earth to be a paradise will be fulfilled!
During this Kingdom rule, Jesus will fulfill his promise to the criminal who died alongside him. He will resurrect him, and that man will become an earthly subject of Jesus. Then the evildoer will be given an opportunity to meet God’s requirements and live forever under the rule of the Kingdom. Surely we can rejoice in the Bible-based prospect of living forever in Paradise on earth!
Life Can Have Meaning--Imagine the meaning that such a grand hope can give to our lives. It can help protect our minds from the disastrous results of negative thinking. That hope was likened by the apostle Paul to a vital piece of spiritual armor. He said that we must put “the hope of salvation” on “as a helmet.”—1 Thessalonians 5:8; Psalm 37:29; Revelation 21:3, 4.
That hope is life sustaining. In the coming Paradise, loneliness will give way to tears of joy as cherished loved ones are brought back to life by “the God who raises up the dead.” (2 Corinthians 1:9) Then the frustration of physical frailty, pain, and immobility will be forgotten, for “the lame one will climb up just as a stag does.” A person’s ‘flesh will become fresher than in youth,’ and he will “return to the days of his youthful vigor.”—Isaiah 35:6; Job 33:25.
At that time, when “no resident will say: ‘I am sick,’” the despair of a lingering disease will be merely a fading memory. (Isaiah 33:24) The emptiness of chronic depression will be turned into “rejoicing to time indefinite.” (Isaiah 35:10) The hopelessness of a fatal illness will vanish along with death itself, mankind’s ancient enemy.—1 Corinthians 15:26.
