  • just believe in the lord, and you will be alright

    George, next time, could you not impose religion, please? I (and, hopefully, many others) tolerate suggestions to help out but, by saying to "just believe something religious", you'll provoke arguments. I'd like to keep this thread with the leasts dispute.

    life isn't so bad kid, just believe in the lord, and you will be alright.

  • Yeah, was gonna say this but wasn't sure if it was wise.

    Generally if someone's having a problem, just telling them to be religious isn't going to necessarily help. People often need more practical, or compassionate, solutions.

    Not to mention the fact that a massive, massive number of Americans don't believe in a Christian god.

    Seriously, I don't think George was "imposing religion" by suggesting that. People take comfort in all kinds of things.

    Plus, imposing a complete whitewash of religious topics is just as likely (if not more) to start an argument.

    That's just my two cents. Like you said, this is no place for bickering, so if I'm out of line, I apologize.

  • It's not just as likely. If George had instead said 'Take comfort in your family and those who love you' no-one would have cried out 'WHY DIDNT YOu MENTION GOD'.

    When I said that, was referring to FauDeef's statement that religious topics have no place in this thread, not George's comment.

    I think it's a good time to end this discussion. Bye.

  • Well, I never said those topics had no place in this thread. I was saying that I prefer if people suggest instead of giving out orders. There's a difference between

    and

    Have you tried to believe in the lord?

    Anywho, "Bye", I guess.

  • I know the exact feeling brother, it can get progressively hard at times. I've had experiences like yours before...not exactly but similar experiences. I take hope in one day being a hero to people...I take hope and pride in what I can be and focus on reaching that dream than to get hurt by right now. Just remember, life will always try to keep you down and there will be someone new leading you away from your hope and push you into depression and hopelessness but I hope you can take pride in how much you mean to everyone either online, your friends, your family...people depend on each other. You're a great person from how well I've gotten to know you, we all make mistakes and we all feels broken but I know you're a strong person. Just stand for what you believe in, people are here for you, like myself and others.

  • Well. I'm actually Religious, So I was okay with this, And I know some people might not be, But that's a matter of opinion to them, They can just walk away. I was actually quite happy with what george said.

  • Just that people do that. It sickens me.

    I understand the reasoning, but I think stuff like that should be stopped.

  • ....People bringing their babies to a better life?

    Just that people do that. It sickens me. I understand the reasoning, but I think stuff like that should be stopped.

  • People are abusing the system to do it.

    They ONLY come to the US to have their child and reap the benefits. They aren't moving here (If they are it is for like twenty years anyway) If they were in the immediate future than I'd have no problem.

    He’s daughter was born in America as well. He and her husband, educated in Britain and from prosperous families, hoped to send their children to an international school in Shanghai that admits only foreign students. When the kids turn 21 they can petition for green cards for their parents, too.

    They clearly have a good life to be willing to spend that much money. And since they had a daughter in America as well, they must have spent another 50 grand there.

    Sorry if I come off harsh, this just infuriates me.

    ....People bringing their babies to a better life?

  • The USA Happy Baby is suspected of tax evasion, money laundering, and visa fraud. The plane ticket only benefits the airline, which could in fact be Chinese (Don't know enough about Chinese-American air travel to be certain about this)

    Tax evasion is no good considering how much money these people are making, and that it's a crime.

    And visa fraud is bad. If someone can lie why they came to America so they could to have a baby, imagine what else they could do successfully. Terrorism, stuff of that ilk.

    And considering how these people go back to China and don't pay taxes, it's not that beneficial to the economy.

    It's all opinion though. I'm going to bed goodnight.

    Oh, Christ. Those people annoy me.

    The definition of art is anything that has human skill or creativity applied to it, so even that random scribble we all did as toddlers makes us artists.

    Let us take a historical example: Vincent Van Gough. He was shunned and mocked for his paintings when he was around, and now, his paintings are hailed as masterpeices.
