Exactly what i meant, subT
And if God's not anything and everything?
Then it wouldn't exist, at least in the way most occidentals picture him.
See, I know as soon as we start to actually discuss religion in the religion forum I should leave before I say something that comes off as preachy, or condescending, or hypocritical... since I'm the sort of person who would fight for the ideals they don't really live up to.... Tell me when the conversation turns to favourite snack or something.
Oh, but you know what? Yesterday I was out Christmas shopping and this guy hands me this pamphlet which I actually took ('Tis the season to be less rude then I ordinarily am. Those things are a waste of trees) Anyway, it's all about how Christmas is too materialistic (well DUH) which is all well and good, but it was written from the first person point of view of Jesus Christ... I mean... come on. I can see how Christians end up with a crappy image. *sigh*
Well, the whole thing about christmas is symbolic, and I do mean the whole thing: the tree, the fat man with gifts, the date. I wouldn't be too harsh on the "this is not what christmas is supposed to be" thing. It's just a (good) excuse for getting together and be nice to each other, that's all.
Fayefaye, don't be reluctant to post your opinion(s). That's why we're here, to exchange concepts. Ideals are that, ideals (duh :) ), the're just a guide, not a block of stone, if you know what I mean.

Oh, *changing the subject* has anyone ever heard that in the tongue, there aren't any platelets in the bloodstream. Something along those lines? that must be such total b.s. I mean, otherwise everytime you bit your tongue you'd risk death through blood loss, wouldn't you? How else is it going to coagulate? Where do people get these statistics/ideas from?? Goldfish three second memory, etc? How would any scientist knows what a goldfish remembers? you can't ask one. I owned a whole bunch of goldfish as a kid. And I'm pretty sure they recognised me when I came up to the tank. Well, since I was the person to feed them... until I over fed them, and they all started dying..... I read the banana's been around for over a million years, but how much of what we hear can we justify as true? Practically nothin'
Questions, questions, questions . . .
Modern Man is capable of asking three questions.
You mean, like, are you the king of the kwik-e-marts?
faye, thrombocytes (a.k.a. platelets) are found in the bloodstream. plus they're another part of the reason blood donors are needed.
but they don't release any secretions to call Other platelets over, make blood vessels constrict, initiate inflammation, or release thromboplastin (molecule to help clotting) until there is a tear in the wall of the blood vessel.
they look very cute and irresistible under a microscope, sort of like polka dots on a poodle-skirt from the 1950's
So bite someone else's tongue! ;)
I'm going to guess you're a first year med student? ;) meh. I hate studying any kind of biology, so don't bother with the bloodstream, etc. Aren't platelets partially responsible for blood clotting?
no, nursing student & certified med. asst.
ja, ja :) they helps da clots
...and they do look highly fashionable, as a pick-you-up should you ever have to peep at any
red blood cells are cute. Look like nice cushions.
azmuse, I'll bite your tongue.
