I officially think whoever makes the decisions at my place of employment is an idiot.

We now have a "required friendliness" policy, in which all employees must greet one another every single day.
We also are not "allowed" to talk as much when on the job, because this somehow lessens productivity.

Problem number 1: I don't know much less like most of my coworkers, and I typically use a greeting as the START OF A CONVERSATION.
If I don't like you, I'm not going to say hi.

Problem number 2: How the heck are we supposed to maintain the policy of friendliness if we aren't allowed to converse very much with each other?
How are we supposed to get to know each other and by that interaction work together better if we can't hold a decent conversation?

Stupid management.
Seriously hoping I can get out of here after I get my degree.
I can dream.

Sounds absolutely stupid. An idiot must have thought this up.

The universe is deterministic. There are no random anythings.
Who'll give me quarter thirty cents for a ring of keys
Three sixty five for a dollar bill of groceries
I'll have me a car of my own someday but till then I need me a ride

Hamburger cup of coffee lettuce and tomato
Two times a dime to see a man kiss the alligator
One more time around free on the ferris wheel ride

Apples are for eatin' and snakes are for hissin'
I heard about a huggin' and I heard about a kissin'
I read about it free in a thirty cent illustrated guide

My uncle used to love me but she died...
...chicken ain't chicken 'til its lickin' good fried - deep on the sunny-side...

Sounds like it could fit the rhythm of...
Well the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
"When ya comin' home, dad?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then.
Ya know we'll have a good time then."

I've never been able to understand why so many Christians believe that a just and loving God would consign billions of people to eternal hellfire,even ones who were very good people, while allowing the worst people to enjoy eternal bliss if they just happened to repent and become Chrsitians who believed in the "salvation" of Jesus.
This makes absolutely no sense to me. I may not be a saint, but I'm far from being an awful person. I can't accept the notion that as a non-christian ,God would send me to hell. I don't believe in hell anyway.
It's just a myth used to frighten a lot of people into becoming Christians.

That's weird... I simply can't understand those who say that there is no hell or that Jesus was just a man calling themselves: "Christian." This Gospel isn't hid; but the thinking of those who simply discard Truth but still want to say that they represent Christ simply doesn't fit in the head. :idunno:

There's the American Idol in that limousine
She got the sold out shows, the clothes, the body so young and lean
Well she's the total package except for just one thing
She ain't got much talent, nah she can barely sing

Well, there's two young lovers, they're the best of friends
Got everything in common except the color of their skin
They hate to think about it, but they can't ignore
Her family lets him in, but leaves the welcome at the door

If everyone was blind would we be surprised
At who'd become important in our lives?
Could our own two eyes be our own worst enemy?
If we all were blind, I wonder what we'd see

Its about relationship over right/wrong. The kid in Asia isn't mine so doesn't live with me. Should we care? Yes but my kids are my priority and rightly so.
"Never understood," or "makes no sense" doesn't cut the mustard so "myth" and "I don't believe" don't work here. When I was six I knew I wasn't a saint and nobody would have convinced me that I wasn't awful. I knew my sin even then. "How bad could I have been?" It doesn't matter, I knew I needed a Savior. Rejecting Him is a heinous act.
