Thank your for the direct reply, Eni. I suppose I'm really 'spamming' the forum this night.

You're right though .. and I'm glad that you can point it out. I can say it too - because it does seem contradictory. Let's just assume for the sake of arguement that there is a perfectly good reason of why God can know the ends of all people and things but still have our ability to choose in life freely to not be undermined. Currently, this is your belief - and I'm not here to trod on it. And I did get my answer - so thanks.



Thanks for taking it so well, SwallowTail!

Okay, you're not into Paris Hilton. Letsee what we should talk about. I know ! The stock markets! That US dollar is pretty low.. isn't it? Did you know that the Canadian dollar was above it about July? Crazy stuff, isn't it? I was buying things on the Internet left and right. Canadians were driving down to the USA to buy stuff, as Canadian prices were still over-inflated at that point in time. Things are more or less back to normal, although poor NA economical forecasts mean that the CAD and the USD are both taking a hit right now. The stuff I usually buy from internet shops from Japan are out of the question now, as the Yen (oddly) is very high despite their long-term depression. Wait - I didn't even get to talk about stocks & bonds. Invest early. For the long term. Diversify and risk-manage. Avoid emotional choices and do your research! That's my advice!

Or maybe you'd like what Hikaru talks to Kuma about.

"How about those expired mislabelled foods in the grocery stores?" "Yeah! It's a big problem!" *nod*

That's why I LURVE Hikki!

That was so very o/t.
