Insurance as a kind of charity
2007-10-26 10:12:00
I was roughly told about the beginning of insurance by an insurance agent. It was about risks in the transportation of cargo. Some how, a group of people pull together a combined fund to compensate the unlucky ones who lost their cargo due to unforeseen mishaps. Thus, it provides a kind of assurance to businessmen if and when these tragic situation arise. Subsequently, the concept and mechanism of insurance started to apply to more things and events, such as home insurance and car insurance, and even life insurance.So, I consider insurance as a kind of charity that helps those, including possibly ourselves, who might become unfortunate in the future by many people each putting a small amount into a fund. Quite similar to charity, where many people each contributing some amount for a particular group of already unfortunate ones, usually they will not be one of them.Post Sponsored by NationsFinance, an independent financial comparison site.

Is your family fashionable?
2007-10-24 12:23:00
I think family values has nothing to do with being old-fashioned, which was how PM Lee described it, "old-fashioned family values," as reported in Today when responding to 377A issues.Being old-fashioned sound bad, but it doesn't really mean bad.Being out-of-fashioned might sound and mean "bad".However, we look at the suitability of family values, not whether they are new or old. Family values are values that promote, encourage and support healthy, happy and good families to be built and sustained. Indeed, the society changes, so do the ways one practises family values. However, the family values do not change because the practises change. The family values might change for the better, because in so doing it provides better and stronger promotion/encouragement/support for healthy, happy and good families.Clearly, any form of increase acceptance of homosexual lifestyles is against the family, and family values shall not be changed for it.

Getting un-lost
2007-10-23 04:53:00
Yesterday my brother casually shared with me a teaching in buddhism: (roughly) Since even [buddhism] laws [that helps one to get enlightened] can be forgo, isn't it more forgoable for secular things which are non-laws. An analogy is in order to get from the current shore to the opposite enlightened shore, the teachings/laws that we follow/practice towards enlightenment are like the boat that bring us across to the enlightened shore. When we reach there, we will forgo the boat since we don't need it.Relating to another question from a cousin that why some Christians say they cannot enter temples, while some like one of our aunt could? This idea comes to me:Generally speaking, religions [not in their institutionalised manner] seek to help people who are lost in the secular/temporal world to become less lost or more un-lost. However, it seems to me that many, while becoming un-lost in the secular world, are getting lost in some particular religion institution that they are in. These ...

Keep 377A

Read the news yet? Usually only people, typically the minority, who are concern about their wellbeing do such things to make themselves heard. This is unusual! The media is so powerful that "the silent majority" can become the minority.I encourage you to visit here and give them your support.http://keep377a.com/

Where should newborn sleep?
2007-10-17 11:59:00
I thought everything should be natural, but there are so many issues to decide. One of them is: where should newborn sleep?For nursing purpose, baby should sleep very near to mother, but there are risk for the small body sleeping next to adults on the same bed. Looking through the products on sale using babycenter coupons and babyage coupons, there seems to have some alternatives: Arm's Reach co-sleeper, a close and secure sleeper or may be a NightForm Infant Positioning Bed might also do.By the way, I noticed that the price (excluding shipping) for the secure sleeper is much more expensive than what I saw 2 days ago.There are also a whole range of products on discount using online coupons.

Easy = Difficult
2007-10-17 03:26:00
Recently weeks there are discussions on a difficult mathematics examination paper in this year PSLE.It seems that some questions in it were difficult.To me, there is not much different if an easy or a difficult question is set. If it is easy, then most will probably score. If it is difficult, then most will probably not score. Overall, it doesn't really affect my score/grade. Rather, I dislike easy question because I must make the efforts to do and get it right, whereas for a difficult question, I may choose to skip it but my score for it may be the same with many who spent time doing it yet didn't get it right.Furthermore, I am one of those [selfish ones] who when spotted a faulty question will keep quiet and move on, since eventually the teachers have to void that question. I hate it when at later times, especially near to the end of the given time, someone raise the issue and the teacher announce an correction to the question. I think that is being unfair by making correction h...

Is it our fault?
2007-10-16 09:57:00
Not all thinks global warming is due to human. Furthermore, is global warming a disaster to be or can be avoided? Or is it just natural changes? Have there been people who try to stop the temperature from rising during summer and vice-versa during winter?Quoting from an article:----------But Dr Gray, whose annual forecasts of the number of tropical storms and hurricanes are widely publicised, said a natural cycle of ocean water temperatures - related to the amount of salt in ocean water - was responsible for the global warming that he acknowledges has taken place.However, he said, that same cycle meant a period of cooling would begin soon and last for several years...."The human impact on the atmosphere is simply too small to have a major effect on global temperatures," Dr Gray said.He said his beliefs had made him an outsider in popular science."It bothers me that my fellow scientists are not speaking out against something they know is wrong," he said. "But they also know that they...

Warm or cool, which is more terrible?
2007-10-04 04:10:00
I found this in an article:---------------------One of Gore's climate-change "deniers," Robert Giegengack, chairman of the department of earth and environmental science at the University of Pennsylvania, says: "In terms of (global warming's) capacity to cause the human species harm, I don't think it makes it into the top 10."Of Gore's claim that temperatures are increasing solely because man-made CO2 is trapping the sun's heat, Giegengack says: "That's plain wrong. . . . It's a natural interplay. As temperature rises, CO2 rises, and vice versa. It's hard for us to say CO2 drives temperature. It's easier to say temperature drives CO2."R. Timothy Patterson, a professor of geology and director of the Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Centre of Canada's Carleton University, says that "CO2 variations show little correlation with our planet's climate on long, medium and even short time scales. . . . It is global cooling, not warming, that is the major climate threat to the world, espe...

How many could afford a garage here?
2007-10-03 01:36:00
Here, garage may be most frequently used in the phrase "garage sale," although it seldom occurs in a garage. To my surprise, a Google "define:garage" gives meanings in different contexts, a verb, a building for cars, and even a form of pop music.I visualized it as a sheltered storage space/room, primarily for vehicles. However, for people who put more than just a car in it, they will need garage storage cabinets. These and other products for the garage, such as garage refrigerator, attic lift, fan and skylight, can make the garage another room in your house.Living in this expensive, small and crowded island, garage still exists only in my dream. Nevertheless, some of their products may be of interest to me. A bike rack for my bicycle, or a motorized cooler seems fun for play and use.This Post Sponsored by Car Guy Garage .

Ask, and you will be told
2007-10-02 09:32:00
Asked by waukeeneWhy would the serpent set itself up to be the recipient of God's wrath?What did it have to gain? Why bring death upon itself?-------------------My humble Best Answer - Chosen by AskerThe serpent symbolizes the Archangel Lucifer in the story recorded in the scriptures through receiving of revelations years after the happenings in the garden of Eden, to teach the people of the time. Lucifer and other angels were created as servant/helper position to assist God in the creation. Before the creation of Adam and Eve, they were the beings who are most alike to God, and thus enjoy the most loved from Him. After the creation of Adam and Eve, they "lost" this most loved position as Adam and Eve were to be the children of God, who is even more so as the image of God, and thus received love from God at a higher level than the archangels.For people who have observed the reactions of most first born when the second born arrives on earth, you can see the similarity.Lucifer probab...

--------------------In his WorldNetDaily column, "How a Gay Rights Leader Became Straight," Glatze writes:Part of the homosexual agenda is getting people to stop considering that conversion is even a viable question to be asked, let alone whether or not it works.In my experience, "coming out" from under the influence of the homosexual mindset was the most liberating, beautiful and astonishing thing I've ever experienced in my entire life….I believe that all people, intrinsically, know the truth. I believe that is why Christianity scares people so much. It reminds them of their conscience, which we all possess….As a leader in the "gay rights" movement, I was given the opportunity to address the public many times. If I could take back some of the things I said, I would. Now I know that homosexuality is lust and pornography wrapped into one. I'll never let anybody try to convince me otherwise, no matter how slick their tongues or how sad their story. I have seen it. I know the tr...

My last out-pro
2007-10-01 05:08:00
If nothing goes wrong, my last out-pro was over last Friday. No more ICT! Now waiting for a letter to tell me what's next. I hope the letter and relevant admin can be settle promptly and correctly so that I won't be mob in the near future.

Be straight, may not achieve, but don't give up
2007-09-18 10:30:00
It is incorrect to use the above as a proof. However, "How a 'gay rights' leader became straight" is a strong example.To me, each of us has both male and female characteristics. Within this spectrum from masculine to feminine, there could be some middle cases. Furthermore, some people might have a harder life when the levels of masculinity and femininity does not match their physical body. Just face it and live the harder life.Some choices are just not meant for us to make.

The final ICT for me
2007-09-12 13:24:00
My previous unit stood down 4 years ago while I still owed 2 more ICTs. However, after the first ICT, there was a long drag till now the second and final ICT I have to go.That's not all, the worst news is that this ICT seems is not what we were told previously to be a more relax one, but trainings are 90% similar to the previous one. That training is the toughest of all training for Pioneers. Furthermore, this will be the third time I am going through it!!!Anyway, I am looking forward to the day when I will out-process from my last ICT!

Marriage is more important than a business
2007-09-11 09:39:00
Saw an Google ads just now on SaveMyMarriage Today.I would propose all to be more proactive. Instead of asking do I need such services now, or just brush aside by thinking that my situation is not that bad, lets constantly improve the situation.I am building my marriage. Just like successful people don't consider themselves succeeded and keep building a bigger business empire.There seem to have lots of resources, which I think is also beneficial to people who wants to build a merrier marriage.
