Resolved Question: Literalists: One Common Language?

The story of the Tower of Babel took place around 1000 BCE. According to the story, before this time all of man spoke the same language for there was only one. Not until God's punishment on us for the construction of the tower were different languages created. Unfortunately, this story is far from accurate. Sumerian writings date back as far as 3200 BCE, hieroglyphs of Egypt date back to about 3100 BCE, Proto-Sinaitic script dates back to 1500 BCE, Sanskrit dates back to 1700BCE (possibly more) and Chinese was developed prior to 1200 BCE. Clearly mankind did not speak one language prior to 1000 BCE. What's the explanation given for this discrepancy? more

Resolved Question: Polynesians did have a ancient writing system from my research, your thoughts?

European history has refused to listen to ancient Polynesian history passed on from many generations and concluded their own theory based on some what similar DNA that traces our migration from southeast Asia. However, from my research Rapa Nui (Easter Island) have found ancient scripts that date back as far as good knows when. Those scripts (ancient writings) found on Easter island called "RongoRongo" have the same exact matches of one of the oldest and perhaps first sophisticated civilizations ever discovered, "Indus Valley". Our history books fail to acknowledge our connection. The Indus Valley is many many miles from Polynesia and we can finally argue that Polynesians are indigenous to the south pacific and Migrated outwards to colonize South East Asia. These ancient scripts found in Easter Island (Polynesia) and Indus Valley out date any artifacts in South East Asia. So therefore we can debunk the theory of Polynesians coming from Southeast Asia and argue that Polynesians came from the Pacific and migrated towards Southeast Asia (the other way around). I just debunked those theories that mainstream archeologist claim.. Your thoughts? more

Resolved Question: Do I have some writing potential?

Hiya, I'm a new to writing, and I would like some opinions on my writings. All of the people that I ask seem to be a little biased, since their friends and family members. Now, I'm new, so don't be too harsh...;] This is a fanfiction that I'm working on. Tell me what you think and what I should do to improve! Imagine being a fifteen year old on summer break. Your daily routine would be that you get up, you get dressed, gorge yourself on sugar loaded crap cereal, and sit yourself in front of the TV and watch, but not really watch. Instead of paying attention to the script and the actors before you, your mind wanders. And wanders, and wanders… and wanders. My mind wandered too, but not in the same way yours did. I didn’t adjust my body if the chair was uncomfortable. I just lay there, day after day, week after week, month after month, and even year after year. Hi. My name’s Andre Griffin, and I’m not like you. Well, yeah, I’m a fifteen year old guy, but I don’t get up and watch millions of three color pixels to entertain myself the way you do. I wouldn’t, even if I could. But I can’t, and that’s that. About three years ago, I slipped into a coma. I don’t know where and I don’t know how. But all I know that it was painful. I don’t even know where I am know, when I think of this. All I see is that darkness… that darkness that teases me since I can’t relinquish myself to it. Always just beyond my reach. I want so badly to either let go, or wake up, but I can’t do either. In a book I read once, there was a place sort of in between worlds. They called it limbo. I guess I’m just in limbo. The problem with that book, though, I don’t think that the person in limbo ever woke up. But I’m determined to. No matter if I have to lie here for another year, or two, or three, I’ll wake up. Even if I wake up only for a moment before I die, I want to smell, I want to hear. Hell, I’ll even settle for just breathing on my own. Some people will probably call that unrealistic. Have they ever been in a coma? Do they know how maddening it is to be in the same place? Day after day after day, the same vortex of blatant and lonely torture? You can’t call me unrealistic until you’ve gone to hell and back, just like I have. Well, hell and half-way back. Cause, I’m not quite at home plate. But I will be. Just you wait. ----------- After three years of bitter and solitary nothingness, the man was rewarded. One day, seemingly identical to all others, Andre lay there, still and stiff, when an unfamiliar sensation began to softly jolt through him. His sightless eyes darting around the unchanging blackness, and the unthinkable happened. He swore to himself that his hand moved. Just then, the omnipresent sensation of being frozen in motionlessness broke, shattered, right there. With baited breath, Andre paused to see if it would happen again. Yes. Right there, it wasn’t just his hand, but his whole arm jolted as the tingling sensation began to leave his limb in peace and started to spread over his chest like vines creeping over a rock. It was strange, and quite painful at times. One jolt of energy caught a vein and caused Andre so much agony that he shot upwards, his arm instinctively flying to his heart. Rubbing the sore, bare flesh, it was a couple of seconds before his mind actually registered that he had, indeed, actually moved. Alright, gimme some feedback!!Well, maybe I'll add a little bit more, here! Am I finally coming back? Is this damned coma over? Andre wondered ecstatically. Now, although they were quite stiff, Andre had regained the ability to move his whole body. Even so, he was stuck in the blackness of the vortex. But even that began to change. Before his eyes, the hole in space began to fluctuate until it burst into a bright cyan and tugged the hard surface out from under him, allowing nothing but a startled yell from him as Andre was sent falling stories and stories into a hole of nothingness. There! Noooow you're done!^^ more

Resolved Question: Was the Gospel of Barnabas accepted as a Canonical Gospel that was circulated in the early centuries of Jesus?

In 325 C.E., the Nicene Council was held, where it was ordered that all original Gospels in Hebrew script should be destroyed. An Edict was issued that any one in possession of these Gospels will be put to death. In 383 C.E., the Pope secured a copy of the Gospel of Barnabas and kept it in his private library. In the fourth year of Emperor Zeno (478 C.E. ), the remains of Barnabas were discovered and there was found on his breast a copy of the Gospel of Barnabas written by his own hand. (Acia Sanctorum Boland Junii Tom II, Pages 422 and 450. Antwerp 1698) . The famous Vulgate Bible appears to be based on this Gospel. Pope Sixtus (1585-90) had a friend, Fra Marino. He found the Gospel of Barnabas in the private library of the Pope. Fra Marino was interested because he had read the writings of Iranaeus where Barnabas had been profusely quoted. The Italian manuscript passed through different hands till it reached "a person of great name and authority" in Amsterdam, "who during his life time was often heard to put a high value to this piece". After his death it came in the possession of J. E. Cramer, a Councillor of the King of Prussia. In 1713 Cramer presented this manuscript to the famous connoisseur of books, Prince Eugene of Savoy. In 1738 along with the library of the Prince it found its way into Hofbibliothek in Vienna. There it now rests. Toland, in his "Miscellaneous Works" (published posthumously in 1747), in Vol. I, page 380, mentions that the Gospel of Barnabas was still extant. In Chapter XV he refers to the Glasian Decree of 496 C.E. where "Evangelium Barnabe" is included in the list of forbidden books. Prior to that it had been forbidden by Pope Innocent in 465 C.E. and by the Decree of the Western Churches in 382 C.E. Barnabas is also mentioned in the Stichometry of Nicephorus Serial No. 3, Epistle of Barnabas . . . Lines 1, 300. Then again in the list of Sixty Books Serial No. 17. Travels and teaching of the Apostles. Serial No. 18. Epistle of Barnabas. Serial No. 24. Gospel According to Barnabas. A Greek version of the Gospel of Barnabas is also found in a solitary fragment. The rest is burnt. The Latin text was translated into English by Mr. and Mrs. Ragg and was printed at the Clarendon Press in Oxford. It was published by the Oxford University Press in 1907. This English translation mysteriously disappeared from the market. Two copies of this translation are known to exist, one in the British Museum and the other in the Library of the Congress, Washington, DC. The first edition was from a micro-film copy of the book in the Library of the Congress, Washington, DC. more

Resolved Question: Speaking of faith & homosexuality...?

A really cool, close friend of mine has been going thru a bit of a spiritual crisis. Lately, though, she's found spiritual comfort in biblical script & modern Christian writings. That's all fine, I gather, because I suppose we're all looking for inner peace. However, this new found guidance has also caused her some new inner conflict because she's gay and, as she's discovered, "the Bible says homosexuality is wrong". So now she's torn about being true to her new found faith & true to what her heart tells her. Personally, though I'm straight, I don't agree with that schtick about homosexuality being wrong. As a counter, I could point to Biblical passages that would make the average person do a double take & let out a "What the..??? That's not right!!" but I don't want to stomp all over a general belief that's bringing her comfort. So I'm curious to know from any of the glbt community, with strong beliefs in Christianity, as to how you accomodate what you are with a faith whose majority of followers would condemn you for being gay? I told my friend God loves her, and designed her the way she is; and that she's not alone in going through this. Your thoughts? more

Resolved Question: If you could redub a poorly dubbed anime series to make it better, what would it be and who would be cast?

I'll go first so you'd get how it works I'd redub Pokemon. Bring back all the main voice actors from the 4kids dub, and since times have changed I'd put back their original Japanese names and Japanese writings everywhere, re-record some scenes that were changed for political correctness but now make no difference. But this would be mainly for the first movie as it was butchered to death, put back the Mewtwo Origin story, remove the stupid 'fighting is wrong' moral since that wasn't in the Japanese version. Then completely skip ALL filler arcs such as the Orange and Master Quest series. I'd change the script where filler materials are mentioned. Add occasional swearing, no further than the word 'damn'. And put all but one of the banned episodes back in and all cut scenes back in. And finally, while keeping the English names of the Pokemon, I would change some of their voices, like make Growlithe sound like a real dog instead of a guy making a complete moron by pretending to be a dog. And Meowths would have normal meows. more

Resolved Question: was Christianity =East vise West from day one?

Iranaeus (130-200) wrote in support of pure monotheism and opposed Paul for injecting into Christianity doctrines of the pagan Roman religion and Platonic philosophy. He had quoted extensively from the Gospel of Barnabas in support of his views. This shows that the Gospel of Barnabas was in circulation in the first and second centuries of Christianity. In 325 A.D., the Nicene Council was held, where it was ordered that all original Gospels in Hebrew script should be destroyed. An Edict was issued that anyone in possession of these Gospels will be put to death. In 383 A.D., the Pope secured a copy of the Gospel of Barnabas and kept it in his private library. In the fourth year of Emperor Zeno (478 A.D.), the remains of Barnabas were discovered and there was found on his breast a copy of the Gospel of Barnabas written by his own hand.

Resolved Question: like or dislike??? please be brutally honest...?

check for grammatical errors or spelling mistakes or should i add more details/descriptions Sssssttt went the blue can of Lysol disinfectant spray making a full 180 around the room. This sound, familiar to those in the neighboring rooms, was heard about 20 times a day. Andrew Phillips, a man of great importance in the writing community, had just finished his third round of cleaning which was ironic sine this apartment was in tip top shape for the next two years. Dust bunnies didn’t dare entering his apartment for they knew they’d be reduced to nothing from the 24/7 sweeping. Cockroaches and other household insects didn’t bother visiting since nothing in the apartment attracted their attention. As you may have already figured out, Andrew Phillips was a clean freak. This mans appearance was very peculiar. He was tall, not too tall, with brown hair sprinkled with hints of gray. His eyes were small but were colored with the brightest of blues. He was the only man I have ever seen, in all my years of traveling, who has stayed in the same apartment for duration of ten years. Scientifically speaking, he has automysophobia, a fear of being dirty, unclean, or smelling bad, and agoraphobia, fear of being in crowds, public places, or open areas. All his everyday needs were shipped to his house. Not one envelope has he received which doesn’t contain a check or a bill. His food supplies and cleaning products are delivered daily and pushed through a slot which is under the mail slot; both specially designed and made for him when he moved in. Now on this particular day, after Mr. Phillips finished his daily cleaning routine, he sat down and started writing. He was now on the third chapter of his sequel. Did I forget to mention the fact that Mr. Phillips was a prestigious writer who wrote entertaining novels for all ages? He goes by the pseudonym A. K. Thompson. His books are read by children and adults, satisfying and interesting to both generations. So just as Mr. Phillips was to start typing, Ding! The doorbell rang indicating that the mail man has come to bring his mails. Mr. Phillips didn’t bother replying or opening the door for every mail man or delivery man in the city, maybe even the state, knew that Mr. Phillips is afraid of germs and wouldn’t open the door. The mail man then simply dropped the mail into a slot and his footsteps drifted away. Mr. Phillips calmly walked up to the door and picked his mail up. He calmly sifted through it recognizing every single one simply by its texture, all of them but one. This one felt unfamiliar in his fingers. He pulled this envelope out and stared at it. It was an envelope in an elegant color of dull green with shiny golden writings in script. All Mr. Phillips read was the part that said to whom it was addressed, Mr. Thompson. This was enough to shock him. The letter fell from his hand and onto the floor with a thud. “Who could be writing to me?” he questioned aloud. He thought to himself and answered, “Unless… Unless it is one of those envious authors trying to kill me so that they will get all the fame and adoration! Someone is out to get me! I bet this envelope holds a teeming army of germs which will murder me the instant I open it!” The creativity and imagination of authors can sometimes be a handful. He then ran for his life as if the germs might break open the seal of the letter and attack him. He ran as fast as he could but was stopped by a wall. He smacked into it and fell to the ground unconscious with a loud thud. I zoomed around trying to get a better look of the letter which lay near his feet. The letter said: To Mr. Phillips Class of 94 Norcom High 25th Reunion “Oh well. Time to spy on someone else.” I then thought. This was a very entertaining event for us flies but we have more important things to do like feast on delicious decaying fruits. I flew across the room, behind the fridge, and through the hole to the outside world to hoping I wasn’t too late for this yummy brown apple. Hopefully he’ll wake up in a few hours and notice the letter isn’t really from a jealous author out to kill him but actually and invitation from his old school for a reunion. more

Resolved Question: Hi, I'm from Spain. Can you help me, please? Can you correct the grammar of these two writings, please?

I'd say that Hollywood's mains problems are their loss market and piracy. On one hand, Hollywood has suffered loss developing their own films industries. They spent a lot at these companies. And on the other hand, piracy is not beginning friendly to Hollywood. Piracy has reduced sales at the Hollywood's great market. Now it’s mainly based on DVD and ticket sales. (Here the end of the first writing) **************************************… I think that the main reason for copying movies illeally is the high costs of the cinemas. However , it's not the only reason, there are more that are of a heavy weighty. We must consider several points. First, as I have said before, the high cost of the cinemas. Many families are starting to get tired of these costs. The tickets for children are all around €5,00 and for adults, near € 8,00. For a family that have to feed many mouth , an offer like download films free , it's more profitable than to empty their pockets. Second, the insecure about if it will be a good film. In the recent years, Hollywood has starting to release new trilogy movies looking for profit and success as it was to “Lord of the rings". Unfortunately, any of the movies released were successful. People starting to complain about these expenses and they opted to download films were better that to pay a ticket and get disappointed of the movie. In conclusion, I think the mains reasons of piracy are the high cost of the cinemas and the quality, script of the new movies. Much better stay at home and to not pay anything for watching a film. (Here the end of the second writing) **************************************… If you think that there is something wrong or you have more ideas, please tell me. Thanks for all. more

Resolved Question: I ReElly dOn't thiNk things could be any woRSE RIGHt nOW?

I really poured out so sorry if it's long. Although, I feel better just letting it all out. Thanks for reading. Ok, you ever had one of those times where it seems like the worst things that can happen in your life just all chose that one time to take place? Things have dragged since sumemr started. I set a goal to make 2k for my school shopping before school starts, it's gonna' be my snr year. I wanted to transfer to a new school and the school I'm going to is filled with competition so I have to work extra hard. Let me just stop cause I'm starting tot sound like a shallow minded pathetic excuse for a teeneager. So, my pathetic excuse for a part time job isn't cutting me too much hours; don't ask me why? I probably just got dropped from my summer school that I was using to make up 2 credits: missed 3days already due to lack of transportation. Now missing these 2 credits might mean I have to go to school again after my snr year for a tri to make them up. which means I can't fail any classes next year. Now, I'm left with no money in my bank account. I have many things I have to fix before school starts so let me just list them... 1. My dad just told us our tennants are moving out of one of our houses and we're gonna' be moving in since he likes it better than the one we're living in. The neighborhood we're going has all my friends and people from my school which means people coming over which I can't allow cause all that's in my room is a mattress that I'm taller than horizontally, an old pillow and another hard platform that the matress lays on. There's a 26" old tv from probably the late 90s and there's my ps3. SO I NEED SOME NEW ROOM FURNITURE AND THINGS. THAT'S ONE. 2. THIS PC I'M TYPING ON RIGHT NOW IS JUST CRAP. For the pc geeks, it has 256mb of ddr (not even ddr1) pc133mhz of RAM. it has a crappy 1ghz intel pentium with a crappy stock cooler. It has 30gb of hdd space. Um...what else it has no video card and it's about ready to die. It's an old dell optiplex gx150. SO I NEED A NEW PC. 3. So after the 3rd try i finally passed my written test so i now have my permit. My dad had gotten me a toyota but i couldnt drive it yet and my sister's infiniti was having some problems so she started driving my car, i just decided she should have it since a 92 camry isn't really my kinda' car. Well now the infiniti still isn't fixed. I need 600$ to fix the body and buy a new body kit. I need to change the paint job and there're some other things that need to be done. It might just cost $1500 in total. 4. I need my school shopping. Yup. Everyone else is going summer shopping but I said skip it since I'm kinda' broke.

Resolved Question: Scripts written long ago predicting your future?

I watched a show a couple of years ago (discovery I think) and it talked about some writings that where written a long time ago in some tiny place. You went there and this guy gave you your writing if you had one (not everyone has one) and it predicted your future. He also mentioned that soon they would all fade or erase or disappear... anyone know or have an idea of what I saw. I can't remember and I tried to find info on the web with no luck at all... thanksNo really there was a journalist that went to this place in indonesia i think and he actually had a script but no one else from the entire crew. And he found that his script was quite acurate. Anyways, I saw the show with other people so I wasn't dreaming. Bible?! hmmm ya... more

Resolved Question: My life is in the toilet right now!!!!HELP!?

I really poured out so sorry if it's long. Although, I feel better just letting it all out. Thanks for reading. Ok, you ever had one of those times where it seems like the worst things that can happen in your life just all chose that one time to take place? Things have dragged since sumemr started. I set a goal to make 2k for my school shopping before school starts, it's gonna' be my snr year. I wanted to transfer to a new school and the school I'm going to is filled with competition so I have to work extra hard. Let me just stop cause I'm starting tot sound like a shallow minded pathetic excuse for a teeneager. So, my pathetic excuse for a part time job isn't cutting me too much hours; don't ask me why? I probably just got dropped from my summer school that I was using to make up 2 credits: missed 3days already due to lack of transportation. Now missing these 2 credits might mean I have to go to school again after my snr year for a tri to make them up. which means I can't fail any classes next year. Now, I'm left with no money in my bank account. I have many things I have to fix before school starts so let me just list them... 1. My dad just told us our tennants are moving out of one of our houses and we're gonna' be moving in since he likes it better than the one we're living in. The neighborhood we're going has all my friends and people from my school which means people coming over which I can't allow cause all that's in my room is a mattress that I'm taller than horizontally, an old pillow and another hard platform that the matress lays on. There's a 26" old tv from probably the late 90s and there's my ps3. SO I NEED SOME NEW ROOM FURNITURE AND THINGS. THAT'S ONE. 2. THIS PC I'M TYPING ON RIGHT NOW IS JUST CRAP. For the pc geeks, it has 256mb of ddr (not even ddr1) pc133mhz of RAM. it has a crappy 1ghz intel pentium with a crappy stock cooler. It has 30gb of hdd space. Um...what else it has no video card and it's about ready to die. It's an old dell optiplex gx150. SO I NEED A NEW PC. 3. So after the 3rd try i finally passed my written test so i now have my permit. My dad had gotten me a toyota but i couldnt drive it yet and my sister's infiniti was having some problems so she started driving my car, i just decided she should have it since a 92 camry isn't really my kinda' car. Well now the infiniti still isn't fixed. I need 600$ to fix the body and buy a new body kit. I need to change the paint job and there're some other things that need to be done. It might just cost $1500 in total. 4. I need my school shopping. Yup. Everyone else is going summer shopping but I said skip it since I'm kinda' broke. I'm so out of clothes that I'm starting to wear a pair of jeans twice in a week. And clothes are expensive these days and shoes so that's gonna' cost me a lot. Well that about explains everything. I've produced a lot of beats and i've been working on different various writings. I'm actually a really well advance writer and I do a lot of writing in my free time.

Resolved Question: Supporters of political parties who want a Hindu rashtra free of islamic influences, Can u please give your vi?

Lets have a healthy debate on the language issue...please donot turn this into a north south issue... I may be wrong on my assumptions as well... To my understanding, hindi as a language flourished mainly under the Delhi sultanate and the mughals...Please correct me if I am wrong... Here is my understanding of the development of events... 1.Apabrahmsa dialects were being spoken in the Delhi region, before the entry of the delhi sultanate and they didn't have a proper script and their origins can be traced to sanskrit... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apabhramsha 2. When the Islamic rulers conquered delhi, they used persian as the dominant official language in courts..So it became fashionable and considered respectable to use persian/Arabic words and thus persian and arabic started mixing with these dialects. This gave rise to the new language, Hindavi... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindavi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persianization#Persianization_in_the_Indian_subcontinent Hindavi is the mother language of both modern Hindi and Urdu... 3. After a while, as more and more indigenous people began to participate in the courts, the Islamic rulers started accepting a highly persianised version of Hindawi in their courts and called it Urdu ("The language of the courts") and used the persian script. While the common people still continued to use hindawi with increasing influence of persian and arabic... 4. The difference between hindi and urdu was insignificant, except for the script, during the early stages of british rule... 5. After Independence, People wanted to get rid of the persian and arabic influence of Hindi/Urdu and replace it with sankritised words..They called this as the Standard Hindi and made it one of the official languages of India... it is also called the shudh Hindi... But even shudh Hindi still has the influence of persian/arabic, though only in a relatively small amount... Right now Shudh Hindi is used only in literary writings and News...The Hindi that is being spoken normally by people and used by politicians in parliamentary discussion still contains a huge influence of persian and arabic and it is still almost indistinguishable to Urdu... If the above assumptions are correct, So please answer the following questions.. 1. Should we take pride in having a great mix of Hindu and Islamic culture as expressed via the twin languages of Urdu and Hindi? 2. Is it right to denounce Urdu as a islamic language though it has the same origins as Hindi? Or should we take pride that this beautiful language was born in India and take pride in its literature? 3. For people who want get rid of all Islamic influence in India, Can you speak shudha hindi daily?Will you avoid bollywood movies? Will you take care that you completely avoid the persian and arabic influence in your everyday language and living? 4. Is it right for politicians to talk in the parliament in this language that has a huge influence of islamic culture for the past 1000 years? @mukhulbadshah: You were right about my previous answer.. It was a foolish response on my part..so I have deleted it... I dont hate Hindi, but I hate the fundamentalism associated with it...@ Zahra Begum.. this discussion is not about modi...@ Ram .. I am not trying to insult Hindi...It is the language spoken by most of our country men and it deserves respect as part of our present day culture...but we should meet the facts in the eye..only then we can progress...@RangDeBasantiChola: What makes you think I Glamourised the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Dynasty...Did I at any point of mention highly about those invaders? they have caused eternal pain and agony to Indian people.. But what do you have to say about the hypocrites who say they want to get rid of islam in India but still continue to speak Hindustani instead of shudd hindi? In fact many people think Hindustani is a complete Indian language...@RangDeBasantiChola: What makes you think I Glamourised the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Dynasty...Did I at any point of mention highly about those invaders? they have caused eternal pain and agony to Indian people..

In fact many people think Hindustani is a complete Indian language...Sorry for the multiple edits... @Mukhulbadshah: Tulsidas re-wrote ramayana in the Avadhi dialect...according to this link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindi_literature#Bhakti_Kaal_.28.E0.A4.AD.E0.A4.95.E0.A5.8D.E0.A4.A4.E0.A4.BF.E0.A4.95.E0.A4.BE.E0.A4.B2.29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avadhi It was dialects like Awadhi and Brajbasha that were diluted with Persian and Arabic to form Hindawi, from which Hindi and Urdu developed... Hindi,Hindu or hindusthan are definitely not Indian Terms...they were terms coined by muslim invaders for sure... And I dont know, but most of Hindi speaking friends do agree that there is still influence of Persian/Arabic in Standardised Hindi...thats what this link also says.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persianization#Persianization_in_the_Indian_subcontinentPlease read the last line of the paragraph.. "As in post-independence India Persian culture and vocabulary was strongly associated with outside influence in general and Islam in particular, Indian and Hindu nationalists developed a Sanskritized and de-Persianised register of Khariboli which they named Hindi whereas Urdu developed into heavily Persian influenced dialect; both were made official languages of India. Despite their efforts, however, certain Persian terminology remains in currency even in Standard Hindi, and colloquial Hindustani across northern India retains large quantities of Persian vocabulary dialectically and even idiolectically."@ Sampradhayik Hindu: (I learnt hindi till 8thstd so I can read but very slowly)...Excellent answer...Honest and Balanced..thumbs up@mukhulBadshah..Urud didnot develop somewhere in punjab independently...it devveloped right in present day uttar pradesh along with Hindi... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urdu@ SampradhayikHindu: So Am I right in saying that the islamic invaders brought with themself the persian and arabic languages(Though they didnot create them) and the language called "Hindawi" was created by mixing the idegenous dialects with persian and arabic loan words and modern Hindi and urdu developed from this Hindawi? And if we want to get rid of islamic rulers influence we must purify hindi of these influences and revert back to awadhi and other dialects?@kalai: My question is if you want a hinudrashtra free of islamic influence, will you abandon the islamic influences in Hindi and adopt a proper complete Indian language instead? And what right do people who speak Hindusthani in their daily life haveto cry for a hindurashtra, unless they themself cleanse them of the islamic influence?@RDB: How about you also do some introspection?You are so used to pointing fingers that you cannot take it wen somebody points flaw? All I am saying is If people want to get rid of islamic influences in India then they should first start it with your own language and lifestyle... Its highly hypocritical to speak about hindu rashtra in hindusthani...people will ridicule such a proposition...@consumerpain: this question is for people who demanda hindu rashtra without islamic influences...andparticulraly those who use hindusthani in their daily lives and yet demand a hindu rashtra@Raj: Very well said. People who call themselves Hindu nationalists and yet speak in hindusthani in their daily life and hail those bollywood movies, are the biggest hypocrites... Its a fact that they mingle easily with a paki group than with non-hindi speaking Indians... The islamic invaders created these two languages because it helped them in administration and it helped them putting up a fake facade that they love the native people and they have absorbed their native dialects...Actual fact is they diluted those native languages with Hindusthani and subjected Indians to more slavery... It is a shame that even today people use this language everywhere and want everyone in this country to learn that as well... If they want to cleanse India's identity from Islam, the first thing they should do is to abandon hindi and go back to awadhi or brajbasha and those dialects...before that they dont have any right to talk about hindu nationalism...An it is also my opinion that deep fortunately south escaped from the muslim invasion..mainly due to valiant north Indian hindu kings in the early part...but even after those valiant heroes failed and te mughals finally succedded in capturing most of Inida, they still cudnt convert entire India to Islam...This is very rare, because wherever they went they first converted everyone to Islam...I guess there are two reasons for this...@ SmapradhayikHindu: Hmm..nice to get the facts directly from an UPite...my understanding was that, Raj was referring to the normal spoken hindi as persian,becos many of the vocabulary is from persian origin words..but he didnt say anything about the original dialects of India like Braj basha or awadhi...An it is also my opinion that deep fortunately south escaped from the muslim invasion..mainly due to valiant north Indian hindu kings in the early part...but even after those valiant heroes failed and te mughals finally succedded in capturing most of Inida, they still cudnt convert entire India to Islam...This is very rare, because wherever they went they first converted everyone to Islam...I guess there are two reasons for this...1) The inherent philosophical depth of hinduism is way higher than those in Islam... 2) the language diversity...they cudnt rule the place unless they learnt the language...and there were too many of them in India...even if they managed to coquer a king, since they didnt know the language they had to install a puppet king who would pay taxes to them...and this puppet king had to be a hindu..or slowlt the king will convert to muslim...but many of the kingdoms didnt goto war with mughals..they readily paid taxes and maintained their crowns..so they didnt convert... but in places where they cud get over the language barrier with hind and urdu, they actually maged to vconvert a whole lot of people..imagine the population of bangladesh and pakistan put together..they were all converted... more

Resolved Question: Did christ die on a stake or a cross?

The greek word they use to translate cross is Stauros and through my studies and reliable literature and translators of ancient scripts and writings indicate very much or almost completely that the original context or meaning of this word was just a pole or upright stake. It was much later after the time of the apostles that the word was defined as a stake with a cross piece. Also the Cross has been used as a symbol of religious worship long before christianity in places such as India, Syria, Persia and Egypt. Crosses were used to identify the Babylonian Sun God and were seen on coins of ancient rome with Julius Caesar and Augustus which ruled before Rome adopted christianity. The book "A Short History of Sex-Worship" Notes that "Various figures of crosses are found everywhere on Egyptian monuments and tombs and are considered by many authorities as symbolical either of the phallus [a representation of the male sex organ] or of coition... In Egyptian tombs the cux ansata [cross with a circle or handle on top] is found side by side with the phallus." So it is fairly clear to me that Christendom adopted this symbol like all the other nations throughout history. There is no way God would find it acceptable to have a symbol that represented another god or a penis all over a so called place of worship people call church. The only christians I have found who don't believe Christ died on a cross are Jehovah's Witnesses. Why is that? more

Resolved Question: Are these fires and extreme 45 deg. heatwaves natural events or acts of God?

If you believe His word, it says in Rev 16 v 9 “…..and the sun was given power to scorch men with fire. . .”. In fact there are many writings in the Scriptures that indicate God is cranky with us. He says it will be just like Noah’s time, we are all fooling around, drinking and making merry, not giving Him a thought, just before we descend into chaos. We have these indisputable happenings which are written. Here are some, scoffers and mockers, wars, rumours of wars, extreme heat and chaotic weather, floods, famine, cyclones, increasing earthquakes, terrorism, violence and crime and drugs. He said about the financial crisis, “and the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn, for no one buys her merchandise any more “ Rev 18 v 11 and in verse 17 “for in one hour such great riches came to nothing “ (the stock market). My question is this, can anyone out there give me a reason not to believe what I can see unfolding before my eyes, and scripted over 2000 years ago?I knew the scoffers would come out of the woodwork, I am still waiting for some factual answers.SeeBob, yes you should look worried, considering the great USA is printing $800 thousand million dollars of paper with no gold to back it up.Lumbalth, No, it was Darwin who was delusional.I would say Leviticus 26 v 16 describes terror, as we experienced in 911Enough said, I shall desist from upsetting you all, and watch with awe and respect the unfolding disasters, muttering to myself "I told you so" more

Resolved Question: this is an extremly important question please answer?

An alphabet is a standardized set of letters — basic written symbols — each of which roughly represents a phoneme, a spoken language, either as it exists now or as it was in the past. There are other systems, such as logographies, in which each character represents a word, morpheme, or semantic unit, and syllabaries, in which each character represents a syllable. Alphabets are classified according to how they indicate vowels: the same way as consonants, as in Greek (true alphabet) abbreviation of consonants, as in Hindi (abugida) not at all, as in Hebrew (abjad) The word "alphabet" came into Middle English from the Late Latin word Alphabetum, which in turn originated in the Ancient Greek Αλφάβητος Alphabetos, from alpha and beta, the first two letters of the Greek alphabet.[1] Alpha and beta in turn came from the first two letters of the Phoenician alphabet, and meant ox and house respectively. There are dozens of alphabets in use today. Most of them are composed of lines (linear writing); notable exceptions are Braille, fingerspelling, and Morse code The term alphabet prototypically refers to a writing system that has characters (graphemes) for representing both consonant and vowel sounds, even though there may not be a complete one-to-one correspondence between symbol and sound. A grapheme is an abstract entity which may be physically represented by different styles of glyphs. There are many written entities which do not form part of the alphabet, including numerals, mathematical symbols, and punctuation. Some human languages are commonly written by using a combination of logograms (which represent morphemes or words) and syllabaries (which represent syllables) instead of an alphabet. Egyptian hieroglyphs and Chinese characters are two of the best-known writing systems with predominantly non-alphabetic representations. Non-written languages may also be represented alphabetically. For example, linguists researching a non-written language (such as some of the indigenous Amerindian languages) will use the International Phonetic Alphabet to enable them to write down the sounds they hear. Most, if not all, linguistic writing systems have some means for phonetic approximation of foreign words, usually using the native character set.[2] The history of the alphabet starts in ancient Egypt. By 2700 BC Egyptian writing had a set of some 22 hieroglyphs[3] to represent syllables that begin with a single consonant of their language, plus a vowel (or no vowel) to be supplied by the native speaker. These glyphs were used as pronunciation guides for logograms, to write grammatical inflections, and, later, to transcribe loan words and foreign names.[4] However, although seemingly alphabetic in nature, the original Egyptian uniliterals were not a system and were never used by themselves to encode Egyptian speech.[5] In the Middle Bronze Age an apparently "alphabetic" system known as the Proto-Sinaitic script is thought by some to have been developed in central Egypt around 1700 BC for or by Semitic workers, but only one of these early writings has been deciphered and their exact nature remains open to interpretation.[6] Based on letter appearances and names, it is believed to be based on Egyptian hieroglyphs.[6] This script eventually developed into the Proto-Canaanite alphabet, which in turn was refined into the Phoenician alphabet.[7] Note that the scripts mentioned above are not considered proper alphabets, as they all lack characters representing vowels. These early vowelless alphabets are called abjads, and still exist in scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew and Syriac. Phoenician was the first major phonemic script.[8][9] In contrast to two other widely used writing systems at the time, Cuneiform and Egyptian hieroglyphs, each of which contained thousands of different characters, it contained only about two dozen distinct letters, making it a script simple enough for common traders to learn. Another advantage to Phoenician was that it could be used to write down many different languages, since it recorded words phonemically. The script was spread by the Phoenicians, whose Thalassocracy allowed the script to be spread across the Mediterranean.[8] In Greece, the script was modified to add the vowels, giving rise to the first true alphabet. The Greeks took letters which did not represent sounds that existed in Greek, and changed them to represent the vowels. This marks the creation of a "true" alphabet, with the presence of both vowels and consonants as explicit symbols in a single script. In its early years, there were many variants of the Greek alphabet, a situation which caused many different alphabets to evolve from it. The Cumae form of the Greek alphabet was carried over to the Italian peninsula by Greek colonists from Euboea, where it gave rise to a variety of alphabets used to inscribe the Italic languages. One of these became the Latin alphabet, which was spread across Europe as t more

Resolved Question: God reveals himself through all ages and all races, so, does he reveal himself to the Chinese race pre-Christ?

God manifests himself all over the universe if you are not an atheist. I discover God reveals himself even before Christ in China to the ancestors of the Chinese race or those whose ancestors lived in China in the olden days. Chinese writings developed through images mostly. And anyone who can unlock the image in the writings can see God.Such is the word or script the Chinese read as SHEN or God in English. So God has revealed Himself through picture in the Chinese script known as Shen. You may go to youtube (the Chinese in God's land) to view the videos concerning that. more

Resolved Question: Please tell me what you think of my observations of Islam?

I converted to Islam a few years ago. I think I had a special opportunity to see what Islam really is, from the inside(an opportunity that born-muslims, and outsiders never had). I say born-muslims because, mostly, they are taught from birth that nothing is true except Islam, and all of its teachings. Which is brainwashing. And outsiders just cannot view Islam from the inside. Islam is a great religion, great teachings for the most-part, interesting views, and good morals. But one thing, one thing that stood out about it, is that Islam strikes fear into its followers to submit to Islam, not God. The Qur'an tells Muslims to disown their children if they convert away from Islam. The Qur'an says that converting from Islam is an unforgivable sin and one will spend eternity in Hell for committing it. Many other things like this appear frequently in the Qur'an. These things made me think that Islam is only aimed at power in numbers. And regardless of what muslims say, the Qur'an has many contradictions, just as every other religion. Also if you look at the way the Qur'an is written, it seems to be more like a collection of writings, not one whole book. I mean that it is not in any order whatsoever, just a jumble of scripts. The prophet Mohammad spent many of time on Trade Caravan routes, which he heard many stories(ie. religious stories). So my question is, what do you think about my observations? And please no one tell me I'm going to hell, i dont care what you think about my decisions. I only care about what God thinks. more

The guy sees you all the time at the library and keeps looking at you but does not say anything. You get irritated because he does not come right out and say he likes you. Some of your friends know the guy so you get together and think up a stunt where you shake the man’s a long time and will not let go when he tries to pull away. You’re not supposed to tell him the real reason why you’re shaking his hand so you make up a reason. Your friends tell you the man likes to see women wear their shirts tucked in and long sleeves either pushed up or rolled up will compliment the handshake. The man will definitely learn his lesson if you shake his hand wearing that type of outfit. Knowing this is fictional, how would you perform this stunt/joke? #1: How would you introduce yourself and what would you talk about? #2: How long would you shake his hand and how would you react when he tried to pull away? #3: What type of outfit would you wear, in as much detail as possible? If you answer these three questions, I will respond by giving you some of my novel I’m working on and/or some of my poetry through email if you let me know you’d like some of my writings. If you would like to send your answers to my email instead of here, my email is: Lee_gerstmann@yahoo.com Here is a link to a show I will be doing Sunday: http://www.luver.com/shamansden.html Here is one of my blogs: http://leespeak.blogspot.com Thank you. - Lee more

Resolved Question: Is it a coincidence that the oldest writings that have been found are from God ?

I mean like the scripts on papyrus, not symbols type of language ...Well symbols types of language is hard to put into Gutenburgs type is why no symbolsThe core of the Tanach (the Hebrew Bible תנ"ך) is written in Classical Hebrew, and much of its present form is specifically the dialect of Biblical Hebrew that scholars believe flourished around the 6th century BCE, near the Babylonian exile. For this reason, Hebrew has been referred to by Jews as Leshôn Ha-Kôdesh (לשון הקודש), "The Holy Language", since ancient times. more

Resolved Question: Do Mormons know that the papyri do not translate into what is known as the Book of Abraham?

How do they still believe that Joseph Smith was a true prophet when, what he claimed to be the writings of Abraham in Abraham's "own hand," resurfaced in 1967 and are not even remotely related to the time period Abraham lived in, Abraham himself, or Jewish beliefs. They turned out to be just a common Egyptian (pagan) Book of Breathings text. The facsimilies that are in the Book of Abraham had missing portions in the original papyrus that were "filled" in by Joseph Smith in a manner that Egyptologists say is completely inconsistent with these types of ancient scripts and show an utterly blatant misunderstanding by Joseph Smith of Egyptian customs, religious beliefs, and hieroglyphics. http://www.irr.org/mit/Books/BHOH/bhoh1.htmlI care because I've been a member for over 30 years and hardly any members know about this. I have done the research and no, there aren't that many different ways to translate Egyptian hieroglyphics that would account for the differences between the papyri and the text of the Book of Abraham.See the Ensign article from July of 1988 on page 51 which talks about the church's position on the papyri, which is that the papyri are the ones that Smith had. more

Resolved Question: literature help?????

im writiing a script and its about a girl who talks to the camera as if the camera is a person she also shares her emotion to the camera... so out of these which one would it be..... Exterior monologue: This is where the actor speaks to another person who is not in the performance space or to the audience. Interior monologue: This is where the actor speaks as if to himself or herself. It is introspective and reveals the inner motives to the audience. This is also a common device in stream of consciousness writings. Frequently in modern theatre, the actor may deliver the monologue in an "aside" (or a sequence of asides). and would i include it in my script??? and where abouts? more

Resolved Question: I have an idea for a script, tell me what you think?

It's a rough idea, so bear with me. Just tell me what you think, if you have an suggestions. A man (John) is sent to the hospital. His fiancé (Karen) and his best friend (Jim) come to visit him a lot. The doctor says Jon will be fine, but Jim, who has been after Karen, tells her otherwise and she leaves John to be with his Jim. John becomes depressed and starts writing about the hospital. Slowly over time he starts to lose sanity as the drugs affect his mind. He begins to lose sense of who he is and what is going on as he stays longer. He loses his memory and refers back to the writings to see who he is. As he stays longer, Jim and Karen get married and come back to visit them. John doesn’t remember ever going out with Karen, and congratulates the two. However, upon reading some of his writings shortly afterward, he sees her name and starts to recollect. As he comes out of his stupor, he loses even more sanity as he realizes how much he’s lost in the hospital.Possible ending: John finally gets out and tries to get Karen back, but she has fallen in love with Jim. John confronts Jim and tries to kill him for lying to Karen about his condition. Possible ending 2: John doesn’t recover because he loses the will to live. Jim and Karen come to visit him, but it hurts John so much that he doesn’t want to talk to anyone again. He stops caring and dies alone. If you have an idea for an ending, that's cool too, I'm willing to listenThanks guys. At least the ones who decided to leave insightful comments. I reread it, and realized that writing a plot summary at 3 in the morning while in the hospital on drugs is probably not the best of ideas, but you give two months of writer's block time to sit and it'll drive ya crazy. I'll work on making it make more sense, I realize now that a lot of them have inconsitancies. Thanks again for the comments. more

Resolved Question: How to make a yes/no agreement box on a webpage using html or similar script.?

Okay, so I've made a personal blog in which I write my true feelings about things, a journal if you will. I'm going to be very careful with who I give the url to, but I still want visitors to have to click a confidentiality confirmation box before they can read my writings. I've seen such things done before, so I know it's possible. I don't want a new window (like a pop-up) to open #1 because that would be annoying, and #2 because a pop-up blocker would swallow it up without their agreement. What I'm thinking about is maybe an image that covers most (if not all) of the page which contains the information on the confidentiality agreement and a yes and no area to click on. If "yes", then it will close the image and display the rest of the webpage behind it. If "no", then it will redirect them to, say, www.google.com. I know that this will be a complicated script, but if someone can help me create it, then I would greatly appreciate it. This is the last step for my site. Thanks more
