Nope. It's in the condition it's in because its run by a socialist radical Muslim dictator. Iran spends ALL its money on weapons, weapons research, and funding terrorist groups. If it actually spent money on infrastructure (something other than weapons manufacturing) it would be good for...

There are several ethnic groups currently living in Iran. There were more but when the militants took control many fled. Currently, at a most obtuse look is that there are muslim loyalists, "MTV" modern believers, and others. Currently the web of influence of Iran is insane. They need...

Oh.... But here's where humans are horrible. An Unconditional lover will be absolutely abused by those loved. .eating if a child is unconditionally loved by the parents....the child will usually abuse that relationship when able. And vice versa. Or siblings....or spouses....

I have watched families my whole life... Because somewhere along the way I noticed that mine was atypical. And I wanted to try and figure out what "normal" or "average" family life was supposed to be like. And I still haven't figured out the answer. I know the ideal....it's shown...

Once when I was in college I would go visit my grandparents in TN while I was living in AL. (Parents were either in Idaho or Delaware or maybe Washington....cant remember) Being the skirt chaser that I was....I casually dated everywhere I went....I, myself was itinerant by nature. Not...

Good idea.... Also unfinished new large subdivisions are a good idea too. (I made bank on one I bought and sold) the first few 20-40 houses (built spec) will be sold cheaper than the last ones....but you will be living with construction crews and roads until the subdivision is finished...

I did it and explained it very very clearly already once. But you seem to have an agenda of your own path outside of what God has said. WHY? Why are you seeking to go outside the parameters? Wanting to get away with the bare minimum to please God? Being a follower of Jesus is not...

And watch over the dumb guys who cant figure out that Valentine's Day is the easiest day to do somethings right for your girlfriend or spouse.

OK, Buy low, sell high.... Location, location, location! Meaning that most people don't do this. Over 80% of people pay way too much for homes. Patience and home purchases are usually not done together because of the many factors involved.....and they are ALL very frustrating for most...

I always thought that Alaska was an island too. Who knew? And you ought to see the map with the South pole as the center....

Now.... A question concerning Corinthians 13:13.... I can see the confusion. You cannot look at this verse in an isolated fashion or discount Paul's "shifting" of the way he speaks/writes. Verse 13 is poetry. Yes....very much so. Considering that over half of scriptures are some sort of...

Hope is part of faith. Example: I talk to you about my son enjoying chocolate ice cream. You believe me and have faith that not only that I have a son but that he likes chocolate ice cream. You HOPE he likes the chocolate ice cream you have reserved for him when you meet him. Hope is...

My wife is a clinical trial manager at a University hospital in the top 10 for NIH research. (Not Harvard....that ship sailed and they dont pay anyway) she has her master's. I'm not claiming to be a professional or anything....by all means study the stuff for yourself and come to your own...

With all that I've said above.... Research scientists are not exactly always moral or honest people....highly educated but that really doesn't seem to matter. I've seen them steal research, plagiarize, strong-arm and extort other scientists for Credit, standing, and even money. Kinda...
