| Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering. Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job."
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.
They moused.
They faxed.
They e-mailed.
They e-mailed with attachments.
They downloaded.
They did spreadsheets! .
They wrote reports.
They created labels and cards.
They created charts and graphs.
They did some genealogy reports
They did every job known to man.
Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.
Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lig htning suddenly flashed
across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power
went off.
Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curseword known in
the underworld.
Jesus just sighed.
Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their
computers.
Satan started searching frantically, screaming: "It's gone! It's all
GONE! I lost everything when the power went out!"
Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the
past two hours of work.
Satan observed this and became irate.
Wait!" he screamed. "That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all
his work and I don't have any?"
God just shrugged and said,
JESUS SAVES.

| i need your help. i'm about to get the biggest jip of my life:
here goes
so i go with my dad to the dealers electrical supply catfish fry today. basically the place that bloom elec. buys all their supplies from was throwing a luncheon for all their customers, etc etc. Of course, they have a raffle drawing to win prizes. I filled out my name and number and turned it in. I didn't want to seem white-trashy so i filled out my sister's name and turned it in as well, counting on the fact that if either was drawn i would collect the prize.
My stupid sister won the freakin $100!! It's mine because:
-i was there (she was not)
-i filled it out just so i wouldn't look like i was turning in two of them
-i frequently pick up parts from dealers.
the end. what do you think? | | |
| In the wake of WWII, the United States and the rest of the world pledged that the horrors of genocide that unfolded in Europe would "never happen again"
It's happening again. Namely in Sudan, Chad, and Ethiopia. I'm going to focus on something that happened several years ago
It was called the Anfal campaign. It occurred between February and September of 1988. Thousands of Kurds arrived through truck to "death camps." Sound familiar? It gets more and more similar to what we've been taught about the Holocaust. Once they arrived, the men were separated from the women (Wonder where they got that idea?). Most of the men were lined up in mass graves and shot, so that their bodies would fall into graves and could be covered with dirt. It's leaders referred to the process as "purification." Over 50,000 people were killed. Adults and children were slaughtered with toxic gas (wow, sound like another genocide you've heard of?).
The person who commanded, authorized, and carried out this plan has a name.
Saddam Hussein, the man who was apprehended when United States forces captured him on December 14, 2003. Many Americans continue to criticize the US involvement in Iraq, citing it as being "someone elses problem." However had it not been for the US-Iraqi war, this evil man would still be in power. Someone please tell me when removing a bad man from power was ever a bad thing?
We also know that leaving a country without a government usually doesn't produce anything good. Post WWI, Europe was angry with Germany and the US wanted nothing to do with the affairs of the world. An attempt to build a democracy in Germany failed without support from the major nations of the world. Germany (unlike Iraq) was left without an established government. And from this we have Adolph Hitler. History tends to repeat itself (this is why we learn it).
War sucks, but we are where we are and we must move on collectively from here. A bad man has been removed from power but yet we continue to whine. Just remember your promise to "never let it happen again" and remember the thousands of kurds who were gassed and shot. Stop being a moron people.

ps: don't let the media tell you everything. sometimes its good to research for yourself and make your own opinion | | |
