Its Cruise Time and I'm Down to 3 Ships help me choose!?

I really enjoy cruising and ive already been on 2 cruises and had great times. i am in the midst of planning my 3rd cruise and i cannot decide which ship to go on. They all go where i want to go. It is between Carnival Triumph, Carnival Glory, and the huge Royal Carribbien ship Freedom of the Seas. Anyone have any experiances or recommendations on/for these ships?



For a little extra info i love to go clubbin at nights on my cruises and enjoying great food day and night be it the buffet or dining. A basketball court would be nice too or an arcade.



So to summarize i would like



Great club



Great Food



and a Basketball court or great Arcade (DDR!!)



Which should i go on!?

Both the Carnival ships are good choices then. The food has been greatly improved on all Carnival ships and they have more/better club/party atmosphere than Royal Caribbean (which is a bit more family oriented, not that you wouldn't enjoy Freedom if you're a couple or singleton).

In my experience, I really prefer Royal Caribbean to Carnival. If you can get both trips for the same price, I'd go for the Freedom. I was able to see it this past weekend, and it is a really nice ship! It has all of the activities that you're looking for, and then some!
Go with Freedom of the Seas.

Is anyone familiar with Trickle Down God theory? What do you THINK about it?

For those unfamiliar it goes something like this...



If God, being Omnipotent and unable to experience limitation which by definition limits him, he decides to create a universe where He can learn what it is like to be frustrated and to learn what it feels like to triumph over adversity. Then, big bang, God explodes creating the universe as we see it today, composed of the matter and energy that was God. Therefore we are all a part of God. I haven't decided whether or not I subscribe to this line of thinking myself, but it seems to make sense on the surface. Let me know what you THINK.

I must admit, I find the ''theory'' not quite convincing. But before I tell you why, or why it at least would need to be extended to fully make sense, let me quickly say that ''theology'' might be the better term to use here. A ''theory'' is usually falsifiable. At least in scientific (here including theology) circles.



The main problem I have with this approach is that God would not learn from this experience, since we are not aware of he fact that we are parts of an omnipotent God who has to learn about limitations. It seems to me, that the Trickle Down God would thus accept human (and animal) suffering for the sole, selfish purpose of his own learning experience. That requires a very negative view of God. Not exactly the same as your preferred gnostic concepts, but equally negative.

Do Christians agree with these statements about Paul?

Carl Sagan (Scientist; Author)



''My long-time view about Christianity is that it represents an amalgam of two seemingly



immiscible parts--the religion of Jesus and the religion of Paul. Thomas Jefferson attempted to



excise the Pauline parts of the New Testament. There wasn't much left when he was done, but it



was an inspiring document.'' (Letter to Ken Schei [author of Christianity Betrayed])



Thomas Jefferson



''Paul was the first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus.'' (All references not listed here, can be



found in Christianity Betrayed)



Albert Schweitzer



''Where possible Paul avoids quoting the teaching of Jesus, in fact even mentioning it. If we had



to rely on Paul, we should not know that Jesus taught in parables, had delivered the sermon on



the mount, and had taught His disciples the 'Our Father.' Even where they are specially



relevant, Paul passes over the words of the Lord.''



Wil Durant (Philosopher)



''Paul created a theology of which none but the vaguest warrants can be found in the words of



Christ.''



''Fundamentalism is the triumph of Paul over Christ.''



Walter Kaufmann (Professor of Philosophy, Princeton)



''Paul substituted faith in Christ for the Christlike life.''



George Bernard Shaw



''No sooner had Jesus knocked over the dragon of superstition than Paul boldly set it on its

Where can I find this video online?

I need to watch the Triumph of the Nerds - Part 1 (Impressing their Friends) video for my science course. Can I watch it online somewhere?

1. Go to: ''Research your answer'' on your question page. 2. Type in: Triumph of the Nerds/Video 3. Go to: #4. I saw no online videos. I recommended this, if you have a DVD player, because of the home delivery offer (see the top of the page).

  • History Day Topic HELP!?

    Ok for those of you who don't know what history day it it's kind of like science fair but with history. Last year i made it to nationals. The theme was Triumph and Tragedy and I did my project on Marie Curie (Discovered Radiation) anyways this years theme is Conflict and Compromise and I have no clue what to do! They really like it when you do something on culture or religion but everything is open. Any ideas?



    History Day Topic HELP!?bmw



    Pope Leo I and Attila the Hun came to mind, as I read your question. Their story involves Conflict, Compromise, Culture and Religion.



    In 452 Pope Leo I met Attila the Hun at Mincio, to persuade him not to sack Rome. The story of their meeting involves all the points you mention, as well as drama.

    You could do the English Protestant Reformation. Depending on how much work you wanted to put in, you could start with Henry VIII and how his annulment of his marriages caused people to begin doubting the Divine Right of Kings. Somewhere around 72,000 people were executed for heresy/treason during Henry's reign, mostly because Henry's religious beliefs changed depending on who he was married to at the time. When his son Edward took over, Protestant ministers were in charge; then when Mary Tudor inherited the throne, the country was supposed to be Catholic, and then Elizabeth's reign brought in an age of tolerance. Elizabeth didn't care what religion her subjects followed as long as they were loyal to her. You could keep going with this theme and cover the English Civil War as well (I'm not sure how much space you have).



    If you need something for American history, you could try the Civil Rights movement. There's a lot of conflict (the Freedom Riders, the nonviolent movement, Montgomery Bus Boycott) followed by compromises like school desegregation and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.



    Oooh...what about the busing crisis in South Boston in the 1970s? Now there's conflict and compromise, even though the compromise maybe didn't turn out well for all (any?) sides. J. Anthony Lukas wrote a book called Common Ground about the whole conflict, its beginnings, and its aftermath.
    The Depression and the Great Deal.
    world war 1 and then the formation of LON ( league of nation )

    Do you have a favorite quote?

    I found some random quotes by which I never heard before and wanted to share them with you. I enjoy truth by which others have found as well as bible quotes.



    Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived.



    Those who know how to win are much more numerous than those who know how to make proper use of their victories.



    The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights



    The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.



    Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.



    I look at victory as milestones on a very long highway.



    The nerve that never relaxes, the eye that never blanches, the thought that never wanders, the purpose that never wavers - these are the masters of victory.



    The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning.



    When I see your smile, and I know it鈥檚 not for me, that鈥檚 when I鈥檒l miss you.



    I don鈥檛 have a license to kill. I have a learner鈥檚 permit.

    cheers



    What motorbike?computer protection



    Hi, it has to be the Suzuki Bandit 600. It makes a great commuter bike and it's easy to ride. Plus you can pick them up second hand for not too much cash. Try ebay first.



    What motorbike?free antivirus download



    Suzuki Bandit 1200



    You can find them used and cheap all day long, the engine is bulletproof, it has a comfortable upright riding position and you can ride around with a passenger all day and they will still like you when they get off.



    As for cleaning...my Bandit 600 is FILTHY. And it likes it that way.



    They go back as far as 1998 i think and the 3rd generation liquid cooled bandit 1250 just came out.



    Good luck and stay safe.
    the bike that Dan B has recommended to you is a good bike but I suspect it is bigger than you are looking for I have the 1986 model they are very good bikes but are 797cc and a decent one will set you back around 拢1000 but you do get very good MPG and they are a very good ride if you want to see a picture of one go here then you can make your own mind up http://www.motorbike-search-engine.co.uk...
    i had a ZX-9R used it every day for 8 yrs never a problem would still have it but someone knocked me off and totally wrecked it didn't clean it much great ride
    BMW if you can afford it. Yamaha, Honda are both great bikes. Triumph's are cool and I love except their British so break down a lot.
    i ride a honda vt 1100 and its a 1993 never did any thing more then a battery swap. (other then oilchanges etc.) it has planty of powerand handles great with a passager. my vote is for a honda
