What Is The Most Evil Corporation In The World?
I'll start, I may add to the list, but as far as I know, Monsanto is the world's most EVIL and destructive corporation. Monsanto Corp (NYSE: MON) has almost single-handedly decimated the honey bee populations in the western hemisphere (Bee keepers who keep their bees "organic" say they've seen no population declines!). They've destroyed the fertile lands in much of the western hemisphere by poisoning the soil with their chemicals. They've made the tomato without

Balut is a popular Filipino street snack and is essentially a duck egg with a fetus inside, typically between seventeen to twenty days in gestation.Most foreigners are grossed out by the idea.

Gestalt is a German word that has no exact equivalent in English. Form, shape, configuration, or pattern come close; "organizational essence" perhaps comes closer. Toward the end of the 19th century, a group of Austrian and German psychologists began to perform research and formulate theories about the role of pattern-seeking in human behavior. The field that has evolved from these studies is called "Gestalt psychology but that is another topic.

Inside, it looks like a Bedouin tent, and there are lanterns hanging from the ceiling. There are about ten tables and a patio outside for during the summ
http://www.beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.htmlThis has always been my favorite little quiz thing to determine religious tendencies. I know a lot of people who "consider" themselves something based on what they grew up on and where they go, but is that the religion that closely matches their personal beliefs?I suppose this is supported by the fact that I believe your life and your spirituality is based on what you hear, interpret, and feel, not what your pastor tells you to think.

Easter, according to biblical scholors, is the time of year where christians everywhere celebrate the rezurection of Christ. Yet what does a bunny have to do with anything, or chicken eggs?

So sacred was the fire that it was forbidden to shout or swear at it while it was being lit.

What Are The Denver Airport Murals?
The Denver International Airport has some of the most disturbing murals I've seen anywhere, much less in an airport. I've been through that airport a half dozen times and have seen the murals on three different occassions.There is a lot of speculation as to what these murals are and what they mean. Whatever it is, it is strange.

I thought it might be interesting to see what people think about America.I've found through my travels to Europe and the Near East, people look at Americans as fat, rude, and abraisive. Especially in France (for the record, I love France.. and its people, my best friend is half French), people seem very put off by us. Even if we make an attempt to speak the language, they get pretty pissed off when your first question is 'do you speak english?'I'd like to say that not all America
