  • Question:-What was the song at the end of The Unit: The Spear of Destiny?
    At the end of last week's episode of The Unit called The Spear of Destiny (Season 4, Ep.13), there was a song at the end that I really liked. It had the lyrics "Time and Again" but I haven't been able to find out what its called. Can someone help me out?

  • Question:-How did hitler loose the spear of destiny? which country and who posses it currently?
    Since it went missing during world war2, isn't that the reason hitler commited suicide. where is it believed it to be right now.

    Answer:-The spear is in the Kunsthistorische Museum in Vienna, Austria and I have seen it. Inserted in the spear head are nails used to crucify Christ.

    This is the most interesting museum I have visited. Lots of church relics and really fantastic gold and crystal objects. This was called the Spear of Longinus and pierced Christ on the cross. It was said that Otto I defeated the Hungarians due to its power. There is a book called The Spear of Destiny that I have seen in the New Age section of Borders. You can also order it from Amazon. Hitler was fascinated by the occult and thought this relic could help him win the war. You will have to find another source for how it ended up in Austria, but much of what was stolen in history by the Church and the Nazis ended up there after the war.
  • Question:-What happened to the spear of destiny during WW2?
    i heard that the spear that stabbed jesus christ was lost during ww2 what the story of the spear all together?

    Answer:-General Patton returned the Hofburg spear to Austria shortly after the war in Europe ended,

  • Question:-Does the Spear of Destiny actually exist?
    If it does, who has it?

    What does it or is it supposed to do?

    Answer:-According to legend, the Holy Lance (also known as the Spear of Destiny, Holy Spear, Lance of Longinus, Spear of Longinus or Spear of Christ) is the name given to the lance that pierced Jesus while he was on the cross.

    [edit] Biblical references
    The lance is mentioned only in the Gospel of John (19:31–37) and not in any of the Synoptic Gospels. The gospel states that the Romans planned to break Jesus' legs, a practice known as crurifragium, which was a method of hastening the death during a crucifixion. Just before they did so, they realized he was already dead and that there was no reason to break his legs. To make sure he was dead, a soldier (extra-Biblical tradition gives this man the name Longinus) stabbed him in the side.

    … but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a lance, and immediately there came out blood and water.' John 19:34
    The phenomenon of blood and water was considered a miracle by Origen (although the water may be explained biologically by the piercing of the pericardial sinus secondary to cardiac tamponade.)[citation needed] Catholics generally see in it a deeper meaning: it represents the Church (and more specifically, the sacraments of Baptism and the Eucharist) issuing from the side of Christ, just as Eve was taken from the side of Adam.


    [edit] Longinus
    The name of the soldier who pierced Christ's side is not given in the Bible but in the oldest known references to the legend, the apocryphal Gospel of Nicodemus (of uncertain date, likely 4th century), the soldier is identified with a centurion and called Longinus (making the spear's "correct" Latin name Lancea Longini).


    Crucifixion miniature, Rabula Gospels.A form of the name Longinus also occurs on a miniature in the Rabula Gospels (currently at the Laurentian Library, Florence), which was illuminated by one Rabulas in the year 586. In the picture, the name LOGINOS (ΛΟΓΙΝΟC) is written in Greek characters above the head of the soldier who is thrusting his lance into Christ's side. This is one of the earliest records of the name, if the inscription is not a later addition.

    Later Christian tradition, harking back to the novel The Spear by Louis de Wohl (1955), further identifies him as Gaius Cassius Longinus.[1]


    [edit] Various relics claimed to be the Holy Lance
    There have been many relics that are claimed to be the Holy Lance, or parts of it.


    [edit] Vatican lance

    A mitred Adhémar de Monteil carrying one of the instances of the Holy Lance in one of the battles of the First CrusadeNo actual lance is known until the pilgrim St. Antoninus of Piacenza (AD 570), describing the holy places of Jerusalem, says that he saw in the Basilica of Mount Zion "the crown of thorns with which Our Lord was crowned and the lance with which He was struck in the side". A mention of the lance also occurs in the so-called Breviarius at the church of the Holy Sepulchre. The presence in Jerusalem of this important relic is attested by Cassiodorus (c. 485 - c. 585)[2] as well as by Gregory of Tours (c. 538 – 594), who had not actually been to Jerusalem.

    In 615 Jerusalem and its relics were captured by the Persian forces of King Khosrau II (Chosroes II). According to the Chronicon Paschale, the point of the lance, which had been broken off, was given in the same year to Nicetas, who took it to Constantinople and deposited it in the church of Hagia Sophia. This point of the lance, which was now set in an "ycona", or icon in 1244 was sold by Baldwin II of Constantinople to Louis IX of France, and it was enshrined with the Crown of Thorns in the Sainte Chapelle in Paris. During the French Revolution these relics were removed to the Bibliotheque Nationale but subsequently disappeared. (The present "Crown of Thorns" is a wreath of rushes.)

    As for the larger portion of the lance, Arculpus claimed he saw it at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre around 670 in Jerusalem, but there is otherwise no mention of it after the sack in 615. Some claim that the larger relic had been conveyed to Constantinople sometime during the 8th century, possibly at the same time as the Crown of Thorns. At any rate, its presence at Constantinople seems to be clearly attested by various pilgrims, particularly Russians, and, though it was deposited in various churches in succession, it seems possible to trace it and distinguish it from the relic of the point. Sir John Mandeville declared in 1357 that he had seen the blade of the Holy Lance both at Paris and at Constantinople, and that the latter was a much larger relic than the former.

    Whatever the Constantinople relic was, it fell into the hands of the Turks, and in 1492, under circumstances minutely described in Pastor's History of the Popes, the Sultan Bajazet sent it to Innocent VIII to encourage the pope to continue to keep his brother Zizim (Cem) prisoner. At this time great doubts as to its authenticity were felt at Rome, as Johann Burchard records,[3] because of the presence of other rival lances in Paris (the point that had been separated from the lance), Nuremberg (see "Vienna lance" below), and Armenia (see "Etschmiadzin lance" below). In the mid 1700s Benedict XIV states that he obtained from Paris an exact drawing of the point of the lance, and that in comparing it with the larger relic in St. Peter's he was satisfied that the two had originally formed one blade.[4] This relic has never since left Rome, where it is preserved under the dome of Saint Peter's Basilica, although the Roman Catholic Church makes no claim as to its authenticity.


    [edit] Echmiadzin lance
    The lance currently in Echmiadzin, Armenia, was discovered during the First Crusade. In 1098 the crusader Peter Bartholomew reported that he had a vision in which St. Andrew told him that the Holy Lance was buried in St. Peter's Cathedral in Antioch. After much digging in the cathedral, a lance was discovered. This was considered a miracle by the crusaders who were able to rout the Muslim army besieging the city and decisively capture Antioch. Some Medieval scholars (e.g. Raynaldi and the Bollandists) believed that this lance afterwards fell into the hands of the Turks and was in fact the lance that Bajazet sent to Pope Innocent and is now in the Vatican.[citation needed]


    [edit] Vienna lance (Hofburg spear)

    The Holy Lance in the Schatzkammer of Vienna
    The inscription on the Holy LanceThe Holy Roman Emperors had a lance of their own, attested from the time of Otto I (912-973). In 1000 Otto III gave Boleslaw I of Poland a replica of the Lance at the Congress of Gniezno. In 1084 Henry IV had a silver band with the inscription "Nail of Our Lord" added to it. This was based on the belief that this was the lance of Constantine the Great which enshrined a nail used for the Crucifixion. In 1273 it was first used in the coronation ceremony. Around 1350 Charles IV had a golden sleeve put over the silver one, inscribed "Lancea et clavus Domini" (Lance and nail of the Lord). In 1424 Sigismund had a collection of relics, including the lance, moved from his capital in Prague to his birth place, Nuremberg, and decreed them to be kept there forever. This collection was called the Reichskleinodien or Imperial Regalia.

    When the French Revolutionary army approached Nuremberg in the spring of 1796 the city councilors decided to remove the Reichskleinodien to Vienna, Austria, for safe keeping. The collection was entrusted to one "Baron von Hügel", who promised to return the objects as soon as peace had been restored and the safety of the collection assured[citation needed]. However, the Holy Roman Empire was officially dissolved in 1806 and von Hügel took advantage of the confusion over who was the rightful owner and sold the entire collection, including the lance, to the Habsburgs[citation needed]. When the city councilors discovered this they asked for the Reichskleinodien back but were refused. As part of the imperial regalia it was kept in the Schatzkammer (Imperial treasury) in Vienna and was known as the lance of Saint Maurice.

    During the Anschluss, when Austria was annexed to Germany, Adolf Hitler took the lance. It was returned to Austria by American General George S. Patton after World War II and was temporarily stored in the Kunsthistorisches Museum. Currently the Spear is held in the Schatzkammer (Imperial treasury).

    Dr. Robert Feather, an English metallurgist and technical engineering writer, tested the lance in January of 2003.[5] He was given unprecedented permission not only to examine the lance in a laboratory environment, but was also allowed to remove the delicate bands of gold and silver that hold it together. In the opinion of Feather and other academic experts, the likeliest date of the spearhead is the 7th century - only slightly earlier than the Museum's own estimate.


    [edit] Other lances
    Another lance has been preserved at Krakow, Poland, since at least the 1200s. However, German records indicate that it was a copy of the Vienna lance. Emperor Henry II had it made with a small sliver of the original lance. Another copy was given to the Hungarian king at the same time.

    The story told by William of Malmesbury of the giving of the Holy Lance to King Athelstan of England by Hugh Capet seems to be due to a misconception.


    [edit] Modern legends about the lance
    The "Spear of Destiny" is a name given to the Holy Lance in various stories that attribute mystical powers to it. Ma

republican debate

  • Question:-republican debate?
    when is the republican debate? did i miss it?

    Answer:-There are numerous debates. Last week, there was a "Value Voters" debate (which didn't include the boring microphone hogs that the media laughingly calls "top-tier candidates") in which Ron Paul referred to Jesus as the "Prince of Peace," called for the US to leave the UN and all other Globalist organizations, and refused to support certain unconstitutional parts of the Christian Right's agenda. The other "2nd tier" candidates pandered to the Christian Right.
  • Question:-....Republican Debate?
    Is there any way I can re watch the republican debate (9/7/11) again online? I couldn't watch it because I had football.

    Answer:-It's on YouTube (of course! Where else?)

    It's in four parts. This is the first part.

  • Question:-How has the Republican Debate been significant to Australia, shaping the nation's history?
    I found this question to be very confusing and I would love some help. The whole question is "How has the Republican Debate been significant to Australia, shaping the nation's history? Will it continue to influence the history of Australia?"

    I think the desired answer might be something like:

    The republican debate has been significant to Australia, dominating politics, causing a referendum......etc. It will likely continue to shape the nation into the future as the debate has not been settled yet.

    Please help me.

    Answer:-You asked the question and you are confused by your own question?

    Republicanism in Australia has been around since the Irish were brought here in ball and chain during the first fleet in 1788.

    The issue of Republicanism will never die out whilst there are Irish catholics living and breathing in Australia.

    The catholics are all republicans after all a Roman Caesar is the head of the Papist church and not a Papist leader in Jerusalem where you'd really think that the son of man, the saviour Christ, ought to have his manifested prophet as the Pope as resident in on Earth, and not in the Vatican City, within Italy.

    Only a Roman Emperor would live in the Vatican City.

    As for Anglo-Saxon Protestants well, the head of the commonwealth is the British monarch, an ex-communicated monarch with her own head of the church being the Archbishop of Canterbury, the head of the Church of England.

    The denial of Catholics as being a head of an anglo-saxon nation within the commonwealth of nations has been predetermined since the Ascension edict of 1701 during the reign of Queen Anne. Her edict will deny forever a papist from ascension into Buckingham Palace. The Hanoverian monarchs have irrefutably denied all former Norman monarchs, mainly Papist as well, from ascension into the British royal families.

    The desire for Australians to become a republic is as difficult to articulate to mainly WASPish majority living in Australia. People are too well entrenched with traditions and history.

    The greatest threat to mainly WASPS, and protestant Pacific Islanders, is the fear of Filipino Catholics in the region. There is over 80 million catholics in South East Asia, this is frightening for Protestants in Australia and everywhere in Oceania.There is a great number of Philipines migrating into Australia per annum supported by the Catholic church which is so frightening for all Australians.
  • Question:-Why did the Republican front runners decline to participate in debate?
    Covenant with Black America moderated by Tavis Smiley, had a Democratic debate with ALL of the Democratic nominees, televised on June 28 at Howard University. YES they all showed up and I heard their position and plans for many issues surrounding hard working Americans. However, The Republican debate is set for September 27 at Morgan State University and these alleged front runners have declined to participate: Rudy Guiliani, John McCain, Mitt Romney & Fred Thompson.
    This is ONE more reason for Republicans NOT to get my VOTE....they are not concerned with the issues involving not just African Americans, but People of Color in general and the hard working people who carry this country. Do Republicans believe they can continute to ignore the People and push their own agendas - and we won't push back? Any intelligent comments out there?
    The only way for Republicans & Democrats to HEAR the PEOPLE is to address those who can't afford to pay $1000 per plate fund raisers. It appears Covenany with Black America is the only venue I've seen offering debates for both parties to address issues surrounding the common American. I'm not making this a race thing - you assume I am - I can but won't go there......so have you seen any Republicans speak to a predominately black, hispanic, native american or asian crowd? Even in the media? I haven't seen any other scheduled debates (Fox or otherwise) that was turned down by either party so if you know of any, please advise and I will definitely check it out.....Oh wait - our Hispanic community tried to organize a debate and got no response so they cancelled. Any others?

    Answer:-Maybe those Republicans don't feel that everything has to be turned into a race issue.

    edit: why did Obama being one of the Democrats front runners decline their recent debate in Iowa....along with others. Was it because of the mostly White elderly crowd.
  • Question:-Where is the exact location for the September 22 Republican debate?
    The Republican presidential candidates are supposed to be coming to Orlando, Florida on Thursday, September 22 to have another debate. I've searched everywhere, and can't find an exact address for it, because I would like to go.

    So, where is it, what time does it start, and how could I get in to see it in person?

    Thanks.

    Answer:-Orange County Convention Center
  • Question:-Would you rather watch the Republican debate or a rerun episode of Family Guy?
    I remember when republican Gov. Snyder here in Michigan would only have a debate in the daytime when most are at work. But I guess the Republican base the retired can`t stay up until 7pm.

    Answer:-I hate Family Guy. American Dad is even worse.

    I'll watch the GOP debates.
  • Question:-Fellow Democrats: are you also itching to see the Republican nominee face Obama in a debate?
    I saw that Republican debate the other night and there was no one on that stage who could go toe to toe with Obama. When you take a Conservatwit out of their cocoon and force them to face the glaring lights of reality they crumple like paper dolls.

    Which of the Republican candidates from the other night do you think would humiliate themselves most blatantly in a debate with Obama?

    Answer:-That'd be sweet.
  • Question:-What was the republican debate about?
    What happened in the republican debate in Las Vegas last night? Who did it involve? What were topics of discussion? What happened?

    Answer:-Maybe about who can make themselves the most un-electable in the general election.

    Keep in mind that Obama care is approved of by more than 50% of Americans, they're falling all over themselves to say they'll repeal it.

    Keep in mind that people aren't buying stuff, they're falling all over themselves saying that the rich need more tax cuts to create jobs, to build stuff, that people aren't buying.

    The tea party wants to nominate the candidate that is least acceptable to independents in the general election.
  • Question:-Republican DEBATE?
    I'm Canadian, but as you know we are greatly interested in who becomes the next President. I have to say, I was completely disappointed with Mitt Romney. Very Unpresidential behaviour, acting defensive, and getting upset...I suppose Huckabee in an Andy Griffith sort of way would make a Great President if this was 1955 or something..
    Mccain seems like a friggin psyco. The two candidates on the ends obviously aren't in the running. Fred Thompson seems like the same guy as he does on TV. Juliani is too short to be President. That leaves Ron Paul.

    its very odd that when the Dems were having their debate, everyone was cheering like crazy when the candidates were saying they will bring the troops home, yet when he suggested it, he was booed, and Mccain compared him to Hitler!!!!

    Answer:-Here is how I ranked them.

    1.Mike Huckabee - witty, well-prepared, and compassionate and would unite us! He is the man for the job! Death penalty skate, but I understand why!
    2.John McCain - affirmed that he is the a well respected veteran and would Lead well.
    3.Mitt Romney - bickering with Rudy made him look petty; comments on torture made him seem wise and made McCain seem cold and on the attack! Comments on Confederate flag non-issue.
    4.Ron Paul - didn't respond well to McCain's attacks; rant about North American Union conspiracy made him seem too extreme.
    5.Duncan Hunter – Faired well, not much time, but all answers were good! He would be a great VEEP to Huckabee!
    6.Tom Tancredo – Good on one issue: Immigration, but he ranks high on my candidate calculator, so candidate for VEEP too!
    7.Fred Thompson - not heard from very much, seemed poorly prepared and confused. Not very articulate and disappointing. Sounded like he was trying out for VEEP.
    8.Rudy Giuliani - bickering with Romney made him look petty, if I have to listen to his stats about NY one more time, I will PUKE!

    VOTE TO KEEP AMERICA SAFE!
  • Question:-Is it right that my husband didn't let our sons have bathroom breaks during the Republican Debate?
    Tonight was the Republican debate on Fox News and my husband thinks it's so important that no one is allowed to leave the room during it. For any reason, even the bathroom. Our son who is twelve years old apparently didn't empty his bladder beforehand. He squirmed and asked for permission, but there were rules in place. He ended up wetting his jeans. Fortunately the couch has plastic covers. Do you think my husband is right? Is more important than bathroom?

    Answer:-Wow...you really DIDN'T grow up, did you?

  • Question:-Anyone know of similar artists to Eric Church?
    I recently discovered Eric Church's most recent two albums and LOVE them. I love how different his sound is, almost like a cross between rock band and Dirt Band. It is not as processed and "pop" sounding as other recent country artists like many other male country artists.

    When you search "similar artists to Eric Church" it seems that any other male country artist is rated to be "super similar" to him only because they are modern country artists but actually sound nothing the same.

    Any suggestions? not interested in Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, etc (still love these guys but its not the sound I am looking for) I want more feeling in the music.

    Answer:-Justin Moore
    Jake Owen
    Dierks Bentley
    Brantley Gilbert
    Randy Houser
  • Question:-How do feel about the song homeboy by eric church?
    Im not a fan of the song because i dont like how it sounds but some say it has subliminal messages in it dealing with racism towards blacks and hatefullness toward the urban culture. Thoughts?

    Answer:-I really like it.. and it's not just directed entirely towards blacks and gangsters. The real story of the song is about two brothers; one is going the right direction and the other is headed down the wrong path. The good brother is trying to bring the other one back home. I think the music and the lyrics are good and refreshing because it says what others don't usually say in songs.
  • Question:-Who is Eric Church in the country music world?

  • Question:-Are Eric Church and Jamey Johnson the future of Country Music?
    Travis Tritt had it right when he said "Country Aint Country No More" Most artists today have strayed from traditional country music and have crossed the line into the Pop Genre. While this can be good with artists like Tayor Swift getting the younger crowds feet wet and pulling them to CMT and Country radio, where is the country music? Where is the wholesome music about real life that has a positive message? Where are the songs about rural country life that I can relate to?

    Answer:-We can only hope but sadly Jamey is not getting the public recognition that he deserves and in my opinion is the only artist today that I feel harkens back to the day of Waylon. His latest album is fantastic and when I bought it, it renewed my faith in the ability to hear traditional music being produced today. I think for traditonal country lovers though, we have to search the "Americana" and "independant" labels to find the music that falls into this category.

    Sadly, Nashville does hold the market in what listeners hear over general radio stations and it is more about the business and sales than it is about the music. The artist's that respect their craft and the genre have moved to outside label's or even creating their own.
  • Question:-whats the meaning of the song im gettin stoned by eric church?
    what is the meaning behind the song, what is he trying to say?

    Answer:-He's getting drunk, not high.

    "Yeah I knew that it was over

    Now this bottle is my bail
    So much for all that prayin',
    Her I do would be I don't
    She got a rock
    I'm gettin' stoned"

    His ex is getting married, and he's getting drunk.
  • Question:-What are some artist and songs similar to the style of Eric Church and Jamey Johnson?
    I really like there slow down home country style. I would like to hear artist like them preferably underground country artist. none of that mainstream pop stuff

    It's in four parts. This is the first part.

  • Question:-How has the Republican Debate been significant to Australia, shaping the nation's history?
    I found this question to be very confusing and I would love some help. The whole question is "How has the Republican Debate been significant to Australia, shaping the nation's history? Will it continue to influence the history of Australia?"

    I think the desired answer might be something like:

    The republican debate has been significant to Australia, dominating politics, causing a referendum......etc. It will likely continue to shape the nation into the future as the debate has not been settled yet.

    Please help me.

    Answer:-You asked the question and you are confused by your own question?

    Republicanism in Australia has been around since the Irish were brought here in ball and chain during the first fleet in 1788.

    The issue of Republicanism will never die out whilst there are Irish catholics living and breathing in Australia.

    The catholics are all republicans after all a Roman Caesar is the head of the Papist church and not a Papist leader in Jerusalem where you'd really think that the son of man, the saviour Christ, ought to have his manifested prophet as the Pope as resident in on Earth, and not in the Vatican City, within Italy.

    Only a Roman Emperor would live in the Vatican City.

    As for Anglo-Saxon Protestants well, the head of the commonwealth is the British monarch, an ex-communicated monarch with her own head of the church being the Archbishop of Canterbury, the head of the Church of England.

    The denial of Catholics as being a head of an anglo-saxon nation within the commonwealth of nations has been predetermined since the Ascension edict of 1701 during the reign of Queen Anne. Her edict will deny forever a papist from ascension into Buckingham Palace. The Hanoverian monarchs have irrefutably denied all former Norman monarchs, mainly Papist as well, from ascension into the British royal families.

    The desire for Australians to become a republic is as difficult to articulate to mainly WASPish majority living in Australia. People are too well entrenched with traditions and history.

    The greatest threat to mainly WASPS, and protestant Pacific Islanders, is the fear of Filipino Catholics in the region. There is over 80 million catholics in South East Asia, this is frightening for Protestants in Australia and everywhere in Oceania.There is a great number of Philipines migrating into Australia per annum supported by the Catholic church which is so frightening for all Australians.
  • Question:-Why did the Republican front runners decline to participate in debate?
    Covenant with Black America moderated by Tavis Smiley, had a Democratic debate with ALL of the Democratic nominees, televised on June 28 at Howard University. YES they all showed up and I heard their position and plans for many issues surrounding hard working Americans. However, The Republican debate is set for September 27 at Morgan State University and these alleged front runners have declined to participate: Rudy Guiliani, John McCain, Mitt Romney & Fred Thompson.
    This is ONE more reason for Republicans NOT to get my VOTE....they are not concerned with the issues involving not just African Americans, but People of Color in general and the hard working people who carry this country. Do Republicans believe they can continute to ignore the People and push their own agendas - and we won't push back? Any intelligent comments out there?
    The only way for Republicans & Democrats to HEAR the PEOPLE is to address those who can't afford to pay $1000 per plate fund raisers. It appears Covenany with Black America is the only venue I've seen offering debates for both parties to address issues surrounding the common American. I'm not making this a race thing - you assume I am - I can but won't go there......so have you seen any Republicans speak to a predominately black, hispanic, native american or asian crowd? Even in the media? I haven't seen any other scheduled debates (Fox or otherwise) that was turned down by either party so if you know of any, please advise and I will definitely check it out.....Oh wait - our Hispanic community tried to organize a debate and got no response so they cancelled. Any others?

    Answer:-Maybe those Republicans don't feel that everything has to be turned into a race issue.

    edit: why did Obama being one of the Democrats front runners decline their recent debate in Iowa....along with others. Was it because of the mostly White elderly crowd.
  • Question:-Where is the exact location for the September 22 Republican debate?
    The Republican presidential candidates are supposed to be coming to Orlando, Florida on Thursday, September 22 to have another debate. I've searched everywhere, and can't find an exact address for it, because I would like to go.

    So, where is it, what time does it start, and how could I get in to see it in person?

    Thanks.

    Answer:-Orange County Convention Center
  • Question:-Would you rather watch the Republican debate or a rerun episode of Family Guy?
    I remember when republican Gov. Snyder here in Michigan would only have a debate in the daytime when most are at work. But I guess the Republican base the retired can`t stay up until 7pm.

    Answer:-I hate Family Guy. American Dad is even worse.

    I'll watch the GOP debates.
  • Question:-Fellow Democrats: are you also itching to see the Republican nominee face Obama in a debate?
    I saw that Republican debate the other night and there was no one on that stage who could go toe to toe with Obama. When you take a Conservatwit out of their cocoon and force them to face the glaring lights of reality they crumple like paper dolls.

    Which of the Republican candidates from the other night do you think would humiliate themselves most blatantly in a debate with Obama?

    Answer:-That'd be sweet.
  • Question:-What was the republican debate about?
    What happened in the republican debate in Las Vegas last night? Who did it involve? What were topics of discussion? What happened?

    Answer:-Maybe about who can make themselves the most un-electable in the general election.

    Keep in mind that Obama care is approved of by more than 50% of Americans, they're falling all over themselves to say they'll repeal it.

    Keep in mind that people aren't buying stuff, they're falling all over themselves saying that the rich need more tax cuts to create jobs, to build stuff, that people aren't buying.

    The tea party wants to nominate the candidate that is least acceptable to independents in the general election.
  • Question:-Republican DEBATE?
    I'm Canadian, but as you know we are greatly interested in who becomes the next President. I have to say, I was completely disappointed with Mitt Romney. Very Unpresidential behaviour, acting defensive, and getting upset...I suppose Huckabee in an Andy Griffith sort of way would make a Great President if this was 1955 or something..
    Mccain seems like a friggin psyco. The two candidates on the ends obviously aren't in the running. Fred Thompson seems like the same guy as he does on TV. Juliani is too short to be President. That leaves Ron Paul.

    its very odd that when the Dems were having their debate, everyone was cheering like crazy when the candidates were saying they will bring the troops home, yet when he suggested it, he was booed, and Mccain compared him to Hitler!!!!

    Answer:-Here is how I ranked them.

    1.Mike Huckabee - witty, well-prepared, and compassionate and would unite us! He is the man for the job! Death penalty skate, but I understand why!
    2.John McCain - affirmed that he is the a well respected veteran and would Lead well.
    3.Mitt Romney - bickering with Rudy made him look petty; comments on torture made him seem wise and made McCain seem cold and on the attack! Comments on Confederate flag non-issue.
    4.Ron Paul - didn't respond well to McCain's attacks; rant about North American Union conspiracy made him seem too extreme.
    5.Duncan Hunter – Faired well, not much time, but all answers were good! He would be a great VEEP to Huckabee!
    6.Tom Tancredo – Good on one issue: Immigration, but he ranks high on my candidate calculator, so candidate for VEEP too!
    7.Fred Thompson - not heard from very much, seemed poorly prepared and confused. Not very articulate and disappointing. Sounded like he was trying out for VEEP.
    8.Rudy Giuliani - bickering with Romney made him look petty, if I have to listen to his stats about NY one more time, I will PUKE!

    VOTE TO KEEP AMERICA SAFE!
  • Question:-Is it right that my husband didn't let our sons have bathroom breaks during the Republican Debate?
    Tonight was the Republican debate on Fox News and my husband thinks it's so important that no one is allowed to leave the room during it. For any reason, even the bathroom. Our son who is twelve years old apparently didn't empty his bladder beforehand. He squirmed and asked for permission, but there were rules in place. He ended up wetting his jeans. Fortunately the couch has plastic covers. Do you think my husband is right? Is more important than bathroom?

    Answer:-Wow...you really DIDN'T grow up, did you?

bobolink

  • Question:-how did the bobolink get endangered?
    if you know how it did BLESS YOUR HEAR [:
    && pleaseee give me a link of the website you found the info if you used a website

    thanks so much

    for everyeons information: a bobolink is a endangered bird

    Answer:-My guess, and it is only a guess, is that we have destroyed its habitat by draining and filling marshes and turned productive fields of grass to agricultural crops that pay a greater return. It has been a long time since I've seen a bobolink in the field. Sigh.
  • Question:-What does this poem by Emily Dickinson mean?
    I'll tell you How the Sun Rose.

    I'll tell you how the sun rose, -- A ribbon at a time. The steeples swam in amethyst, The news like squirrels ran. The hill untied their bonnets, The bobolinks begun. Then I said softly to myself, "That must have been the sun!"

    But how he set, I know not. There seemed a purple stile Which little yellow boys and girls Were climbing all the while Till when they reached the other side, A dominie in gray Put gently up the evening bars, -- And led the flock away.


    What does the poem symbolize? I have no idea how to interpret it.

    Answer:-Freud "thought that sometimes, just sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar and not a symbol for a penis."

    "This is a poem without hidden meaning for most readers. Just a clean, bright and fresh approach to a plain old sunrise." [ http://poetrypages.lemon8.nl/nature/illtellyou/illtellyouhow.htm ]

    This is my favorite comment on this poem. I think that if your teacher wants you to analyze "deeper meanings," you should do two things:

    Look at the poem in lines, not in the prose paragraphs you've reduced it to. This kinda slows it down, and lets you look at each image, one at a time, and to hear the rhymes and half rhymes.

    I'll tell you how the sun rose,--
    A ribbon at a time.
    The steeples swam in amethyst,
    The news like squirrels ran.
    The hills untied their bonnets,
    The bobolinks begun.
    Then I said softly to myself,
    "That must have been the sun!"

    But how he set, I know not.
    There seemed a purple stile
    Which little yellow boys and girls
    Were climbing all the while
    Till when they reached the other side,
    A dominie in gray
    Put gently up the evening bars,
    And led the flock away.

    Then simply ask yourself how the images used in the two parts (the sunrise and the sunset) make you feel yourself. What connotations do they have for you?

    For instance, the rising of the sun proceeds from quiet, gradual images to quick, lively ones: [one] ribbon at a time, [church] steeples swimming in amethyst, squirrels running, hills [like ladies] untying their bonnets [to free their glistening locks of hair--then what?], bobolinks beginning [to sing maybe, or what?]. Then the speaker realizing and saying softly to herself, as if in surprise, Why, look it's suddenly daylight! To me all this suggests pleasant things like, maybe, awakening, spring, growing from childhood to young adulthood, and the beginning of so many pleasant things, like falling in love. It happens gradually, then all of a sudden you notice it's happened.

    What about the sunset? a purple stile [steps to climb, over a fence or a wall, shadow of deep purple], little children dressed in bright yellow climbing to the other side, a dominie [clergyman] gently putting up the bars [drawing the shutters or curtains] [like a shepherd] leading the flock away. To me all this suggests pleasant things, but quiet, thoughtful things, like sleep, autumn fading into winter, ageing, calming down, rest and peace [OK, death, if you insist, not a traumatic, grievous death, but a slow peaceful "fading away"]. Notice that the speaker isn't conscious of this process, "I know not," maybe because it hasn't happened yet or when one is asleep, at rest, beyond life, consciousness is not the same.

    The important question is not What does This Poem Mean? but rather, what does this little poem mean to you personally, and why?

    Enjoy!
  • Question:-Female bobolinks tend to choose males who sing a familiar song. This is an example of:?
    random mating.

    higher reproductive fitness.

    sexual selection.

    genetic drift.

    gene flow.

    Answer:-This sounds like sexual selection to me. It's not random mating because the females are specifically picking our the males that sing the song. Sexual selection makes the most sense.
  • Question:-what threats are the bobolinks and their habitat facing?
    what are threating the bobolinks habitat is the grassland

    Answer:-The bobolinks face no threat. You are confusing them with the hobolinks- now they face a threat. People drive by and throw trash at them, calling the poor creatures dirty caniving little turds all the while. This is cruel considering the circumstances of the poor things.
  • Question:-Why do we need religion to appreciate God?
    I just read this poem by Emily Dickinson and it had a profound effect on me. It caused me to question why we really need religion to appreciate God. Enjoy.

    "Some keep the Sabbath by going to Church-
    I keep it, staying at home-
    With a Bobolink for a Chorister-
    And an Orchard, for a Dome-

    Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice-
    I just wear my wings-
    And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church,
    Our little Sexton-sings.

    God preaches, a noted Clergyman-
    And the sermon is never long.
    So instead of getting to Heaven, at last-
    I'm going, all along."

    I know, it's deep. It took me a while to pick up on certain things.
    P.S. I don't think this poem attempts to answer our pressing questions about God by any means. I think she is just saying that she appreciates everything around her and by doing so she appreciates God, because he created it.

    Answer:-there is no god
  • Question:-Why do people worship inside a church, instead of worshipping outside?
    Some keep the Sabbath going to church;
    I keep it staying at home,
    With a bobolink for a chorister,
    And an orchard for a dome.

    Some keep the Sabbath in surplice;
    I just wear my wings,
    And instead of tolling the bell for church,
    Our little sexton sings.

    God preaches,—a noted clergyman,—
    And the sermon is never long;
    So instead of getting to heaven at last,
    I ’m going all along!

    --Emily Dickinson

    Answer:-What a beautiful little poem. I'd never read it before.

    But to halfway answer your question... in most of the NeoPagan religions, worshipping outside is preferable to worshipping inside, because when we worship outside we are immersed in the Divine-in-nature.

    One of the most powerful services I ever attended was out in the woods, beside one of the largest lakes in North America, during a full-out thunderstorm. Standing there in the grove with the sweet earth beneath my feet and my face upturned to the pouring rain, I felt utterly embraced and enfolded by the presence of the God and the Goddess.

    (And I've certainly heard of some Christian sects that worship "down by the river"... :-) )
  • Question:-Emily Dickinson's Poem?
    in one of her poems, she wrote:
    With a Bobolink for a Chorister
    And an Orchard for a Dome

    what does this mean?

    Answer:-A bobolink is referring to birds singing in a "choir" and the orchard for a dome is talking about her time of worship is spent among the flowers and birds, loving nature that God has given instead of in church.
  • Question:-how do u feel about this poem Heart, not so heavy as mine and explain why u feel this way?
    Heart, not so heavy as mine
    Wending late home --
    As it passed my window
    Whistled itself a tune --
    A careless snatch -- a ballad -- A ditty of the street --
    Yet to my irritated Ear
    An Anodyne so sweet --
    It was as if a Bobolink
    Sauntering this way
    Carolled, and paused, and carolled --
    Then bubbled slow away!
    It was as if a chirping brook
    Upon a dusty way --
    Set bleeding feet to minuets
    Without the knowing why!
    Tomorrow, night will come again --
    Perhaps, weary and sore --
    Ah Bugle! By my window
    I pray you pass once more.

    Answer:-Bugle?? whistler is doing things not that loud, right??
    irritated ear is an off note. -- I nickpick

    Total feel: nice for the narrator, who is hoping for love. Or maybe at least cheer.
  • Question:-Emily Dickinson poem help?
    Some keep the Sabbath going to Church --
    I keep it, staying at Home --
    With a Bobolink for a Chorister --
    And an Orchard, for a Dome --

    Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice --
    I just wear my Wings --
    And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church,
    Our little Sexton -- sings.

    God preaches, a noted Clergyman --
    And the sermon is never long,
    So instead of getting to Heaven, at last --
    I'm going, all along.

    What kind of people might share the speaker's preference? Who would disagree with her way of keeping the Sabbath?

    Answer:-This is a straightforward (well, as straightforward as Dickinson gets) anti-organized religion poem.

    Notice that all the references to how the speaker keeps the sabbath refer to nature. All the references to how "some" do it refer to the formal rituals of the church.

    Dickinson was a highly independent thinker, and it is people like her who would agree that one can feel the presence of God when out in his creation. Those who would disagree are people who feel that church is the only proper place for prayer or religious thought--conventional thinkers, in other words.

    Best wishes!
  • Question:-What is the TONE of this poem by Emily Dickinson?
    SOME keep the Sabbath going to church;
    I keep it staying at home,
    With a bobolink for a chorister,
    And an orchard for a dome.

    Some keep the Sabbath in surplice;
    I just wear my wings,
    And instead of tolling the bell for church,
    Our little sexton sings.

    God preaches,—a noted clergyman,—
    And the sermon is never long;
    So instead of getting to heaven at last,
    I ’m going all along!

    I know what it means but the tone is the only thing I can't figure out. I know what tone means, I just can't think of what it could be.

    Answer:-She is describing nature as the church and is saying that you can be alone and still talk to God without the need to attend church. The tone is happy.

crystal cathedral

  • Question:-Are front row seats good for the Glory of Christmas at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove?
    I want to purchase tickets to see the Glory of Christmas at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, my first instinct is to get front row seats as I will have a 6 and 8 year old with me and I want them to be able to see but does anyone have any advice about the front row? good or bad seats?

    Answer:-Don't get the front row seats.
    Because you are kind of close to the stage.
    And if you are close to the front. Then you
    might have to lift your head up all the time, and
    that can be tiring for you and your children.
    So why not get seated in the middle, so you
    don't have to lift your head up.
  • Question:-Where should I sit in the Crystal Cathedral of the Glory of Christmas?
    I am going to see the Glory of Christmas at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove and I wanted to know the best seats to sit in. I dont want someone's big head in my way, I dont want to strain my neck and I dont want to be far away either!! Thanks!!

    crystalcathedral.org is the website

    Answer:-All the seats are good but I wouldn't sit in the very front because the animals are there and it gets smelly. Bottom middle is probably best.
  • Question:-What is the volume of the Crystal Cathedral in Orange County, California?
    It's a pretty big cathedral and it got me curious. I haven't been able to find out what the area is though.

    Answer:-The Crystal Cathedral
    12141 Lewis Street (at Chapman Avenue),
    Garden Grove, CA. / (714) 971-4000 or (714) 544-5679

    The church seats almost 3,000 worshipers for Sunday services. But giant, sliding glass doors on the side of the church allow even more worshipers to watch the services from their cars in the parking lot.
  • Question:-How can I play inthe orchestra at the Crystal Cathedral in California?
    Who do I contact? What orchestra is it?

    Answer:-It seems there's not an orchestra page on their website, but the choir page does have a phone number and I'm sure they'd be happy to help.
  • Question:-Now that the Crystal Cathedral has gone bankrupt, would that be a good place for a mosque?
    They were only bringing in $2,000,000 a month and some salaries were quite high.

    But the Saudi Prince and Fox news owner could easily afford it.

    Answer:-I think the Superfriends should make it their new lair.

    The Hall of Justice looks so 70's.
  • Question:-Why wasn't God able to prevent the suicide at the Crystal Cathedral?
    Wouldn't it stand to reason that a holy, loving, omnipotent God would not allow a parishioner to commit a sin and kill himself in one of his places of worship?

    Answer:-Free will.
  • Question:-Who is a good compare/contrast for Robert H. Schuller, the New Age Pastor of the Crystal Cathedral?
    I am looking for a historical figure, perhaps a minister or pastor, perhaps not. Someone to compare leadership styles.

    Answer:-What about Joseph Smith? You'll have little trouble finding information on him. He invented the Mormon religion. Ted Haggard might be better to compare with someone like Robert Schuller, though.
  • Question:-On this VJ day should the US propose building a Crystal Cathedral in Hiroshima?
    Even if Japanese law would allow it, would it be insensitive, to say the least, for American evangelicals to propose a christian church at the site of a WWII disaster - in light of the Muslim plans for NYC?

    Answer:-No liberal in this country would ever endorse that. Liberals only enjoy desecrating American mass graves.
  • Question:-where can i get a program or schedule of the Crystal Cathedral Glory of Christmas at LA California?
    I want the original one scanned or photos of it. (2009 by the way) PLEASE I NEED IT TODAY!!!

    Answer:-Try to google it.
  • Question:-Does the Crystal Cathedral qualify as the Studio 54 of the fundamentalist Christian world?


    Answer:-It will when they get the disco ball installed.
