  1. The current war of terror is really a war against the modern world. Middle eastern culture has not absorbed the changes of the past 100 years and as a reaction some want to go back to the 7th century. Until that culture is happy with its self the rest of the world will have to be ready to react to the threats.

  2. This is the story about the tiny frogs Life's lesson No. 1

     

    There once was a bunch of tiny frogs,... who arranged a running

    competition.

     

    The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.

     

    A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on

    the contestants...

     

    The race began...

     

    Honestly:

     

    No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top

    of the tower.

     

    You heard statements such as:

     

    "Oh, WAY too difficult!!

     

    They will NEVER make it to the top."

     

    or:

     

    "Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"

     

    The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one...

     

    .... Except for those who in a fresh tempo were climbing higher and

    higher...

     

    The crowd continued to yell

     

    "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"

     

    More tiny frogs got tired and! gave up...

     

    ....But ONE continued higher and higher and higher...

     

    This one wouldn't give up!

     

     

    At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the

    one tiny frog who after a big effort was the only one who reached the top!

     

    THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one

    frog managed to do it?

     

    A contestant asked the tiny frog how the one who succeeded had found the

    strength to reach ! the goal?

     

    It turned out...

     

    That the winner was DEAF!!!!

     

    The wisdom of this story is:

     

    Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or

    pessimistic...

     

    cause they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you. The

    ones you have in your heart!

     

    Always think of the power words have.

     

    Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!

     

    Therefore:

     

    ALWAYS be POSITIVE!

     

    And above all:

     

     

    Be DEAF when people tell YOU that YOU! can not fulfill YOUR dreams!

     

     

  3. I want to put aside for a moment how some religions do not approve of the gay lifestyle. I think the biggest problem with it is the stereotypical promiscuity. This immoral behavior is what I do not want BSA to condone by allowing openly gay (avowed) leaders. However here is where it gets interesting. To combat promiscuity society needs to encourage Monogamy i.e. Civil Union or whatever you want to call it. What does the poll say about this? It is against it. Granted the question was poor as was pointed out. Then in poll 5 it is for gay youth leaders. The poll is interesting because the results are confusing maybe from poor questions or maybe Fox News they spin we decide?
