hearing reports from numerous friends and seeing it first hand on very few occasions, second and third world countries do have several health problems, but that's largely due to lack of knowledge and ability to learn, and grossly unsanitary conditions. I'm not disputing what you said, I actually agree with it (similar to the theory that growing up with animals makes you less prone to animal allergies). People in Kenya or the bush of Africa don't know how simple water filtration can keep deadly worms and insects out of their drinking water. Very simple health measures can be taken to save thousands or more, but they just don't know.

In second world countries, like the bad parts of Ensenada, Mexico where a family lives off of $50/mo... they know how to be clean and sanitary, for the most part, but can't because of financial constraints. It's these people who fall into your scenario of getting sick less often. Unfortunately for them, when they do get sick, they lack the medicines to fight simple illness.

I'm fine with Biblical discussions. I believe my viewpoints to be very thorough and mostly correct. I don't claim to know everything and I assume I am wrong in some ways. I haven't always thought the way I do currently, and if I can't back it up with personal experience, my own studying and readings, or straight text, then I'd prefer not to speak it. I will, however, throw around ideas that I have but can't prove.

I don't think traditional 'church' doctrine. I'm not really for rules and restrictions that aren't founded Biblically. I don't follow any one denomination, and believe even non-denominationalism has become, in a way, it's own denomination. I teach Sunday school in a Southern Baptist church, I graduated from a Nazarene University, and I don't consider myself either.

I await your discussion - what shall the topic be? smack.gif

I don't know. I like religious discussions. I personally am not religious, but I'm not an Atheist either. I don't know WTF is going on. lol. One thing's for sure though I think anyone should be able to believe whatever they want and practice whatever they believe within reason. Maybe you can suggest something you would enjoy talking about?

That's awesome! Lol!

 

This is a GREAT topic! smile.gif Keep it going guys.

Oh yeah....and if you want to be immortal...go find a vampire! tongue.gif laugh.gif

If you guys want to start a religious thread, thats fine. Im sure this place can handle it due to having pretty mature members, but just stay on your toes in case for some reason it does get a little out of hand. wink.gif

 

Can I ban someone if they get out of hand? gtfoslap.gif

 

I don't think we have the powa. banned.gif

 

Global Mods do! tongue.gif

 

You'll have to tell me how...otherwise I won't know when it becomes necessary. lol.

 

It's kind of a mix of C++ and some basic... It's the MatLab language. Kind of resembles Csharp.

Anyways, I just saw that I made a mistake, the else condition mustve been ''death = 1''. But anyways smile.gif

I like meat And I just at some spaghetti with lots of beef in it
