Again, the pessimist against the optimist will never gain any ground either way.

So he (God) will get me my per diem retroactively?

Rob, everyday you have a roof over your head and ONE meal per day is a good day.
That´s not desperetly poor, that´s a minor inconvenience.

I wasn't saying I'm desperately poor... I was saying that some of the most faithful people I know are. I'm so sick of people saying that I don't know jack about anything! I wasn't even SAYING I had any experience being poor. I was only saying that I know some faithful people who believe God isn't going to let them suffer forever.

God isn't going to give you a grandeur lifestyle on Earth, because the grandest life here doesn't compare to the lowest life in Heaven. Ever heard the scripture quote "First shall be last, and the last shall be first"? Those who suffer and yet still believe will reap their rewards in the kingdom of God. (That's what I believe anyway.)

Just saying, I've seen people far worse off than the average homeless guy in America.
At least over there, there's a lot of people around to make sure that homeless people don't starve to death. Hell they're so good at it that they get fat.
People wouldn't tell you that you don't know anything if you just don't post inaccurate crap about the real world thinking you've gotten it figured out before you've even set foot on it.

Please tell me where I said anything presumptuous in saying that some of the most faithful people I know are poor... How the hell is that knowing everything about the real world without stepping foot in it?



Again, just because a kid has an opinion, he's automatically a young buck who doesn't have a clue and is just talking out his @$$. And you wonder why young people don't give a damn......... Good luck in the nursing homes.

No I don't assume all young people don't have a clue. But you don't.

Come on you all'...we always get off topic, lets get back on it shall we??? lol, "Money isnt everything....but it sure is nice to have" especially if theres love too!!!

Because you know me.... *rolls eyes* You put ENTIRELY too much faith in the internet, redneck.

Well then why don't you just write what you really think?

The fact that I believe the world can become a better place if half the male population in it would suck up their pride and try to get along with one another instead of considering people with opposing view points as enemies who should be eliminated IS what I think. And it's not that I think the world was a happy place before 9/11... It sucks... At 10 years old I knew it sucked. But that doesn't change the fact that the world we are living in NOW, sucks 10 times harder. I know reality, because I watch the news... But I also read online sources that show the random acts of kindness in balance to all the violence going on around the world. It's like the press reporting on Iraq... All they show is the fact that the US is "losing" but the reality of the situation is, it's not half as bad as they show it. There IS progress being made... Maybe not as much as we would like, but it's there.


There's a difference between not having a clue and being optimistic.
