Java Program Almost Working….?

admin — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:35:22 +0000

Question: Java Program Almost Working….?
Ok, so I’m working on my last few programs for my JAVA class, and this one almost works. The only issue I’m having is that when I run the program and choose “Unlimited” for the Meal Plan, it doesn’t add the price of that meal plan in with the Dorm price. If I choose one of the other two meal plans, it works just fine…I don’t understand why. Any tips?
Also, I’d really like to have a label above each box saying what the box is for (i.e. “Choose a Dorm:” and “Choose a Meal Plan:”). We haven’t really learned this, but it’s driving me nuts not seeing it there….Thanks in advance for any help!

Why not question 9/11, when the USA has a history of staging terrorist attacks to enact it’s agenda?

admin — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:36:23 +0000

Question: Why not question 9/11, when the USA has a history of staging terrorist attacks to enact it’s agenda?
Most people cannot imagine the lengths the ruling elites will go to, to increase their power, money, and control.

Dubya’s puppeteers policies are not new :-

“Naturally the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
Hermann Göring(Nazi) 1946 Nuremberg Trials

The US. Government has lied about many wars. The increase of troops in Vietnam was based on an attack in the Tonkin Gulf that never happened. Some say that Roosevelt knew about Pearl Harbor and let it happen to get support to join World War Two. The Spanish-American War (Remember the Maine!) was also based on a hoax.
Not to mention the numerous covert wars that they lied about. Iran-Contra, the overthrow of Mossadegh in Iran, Allende in Chile, Arbenz in Guatemala. Also the war in Panama, against someone who was on the payroll of the CIA. Cuba as well. The Bay of Pigs invasion was supported by the CIA, and the people who invaded were trained by the CIA in Guatemala.

As for 9/11 this is the origin of the plan:-
“We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.”
David Rockefeller: Statement to the Untied Nations Business Council in September 1994

“For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with other around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” David Rockefellers memoirs (2002)

And this is what Dubya’s puppeteers had to say in 2000;-
“Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor”
Project for the New American Century (2000)

Which brings into question 9/11/(2001), which was never investigated properly, and has been hijacked in order to enact Dubya’s agenda and the subsequent illegitimate wars.
The 9/11 documentary Loose Change 2nd edition is available free on Youtube:-

Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGEb40o17yE&search=loose%20change%202nd%20edition

Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtV1uxYnu0w&search=loose%20change%202nd%20edition

Decide for yourselves people

I do agree with Dubya on one thing:-

“I think one way for us to end up being viewed as the ugly American is for us to go around the world saying, “We do it this way. So should you.”
“I think the United States must be humble and must be proud and confident of our values, but humble in how we treat nations that are figuring out how to chart their own course.”

In Iran and Turkey people are coming to Christ, the church is growing at a phenomenal rate?

Question: In Iran and Turkey people are coming to Christ, the church is growing at a phenomenal rate?
Christians are caught in the middle. “If the Islamists gain power, obviously that will mean an increase in persecution. But the secularists are also opposed to the church. They want basically no religion. They want the people to be secular. But to be Turkish– in their culture–is to be Muslim.

Persecution has already hit the Christian community. Three Christians were killed by young radical Muslims in April. Nettleton just returned from meeting with the survivors. He says, “There was no sense that God had let them down or that somehow this event happened while God wasn’t looking. There was a very clear sense that this was God’s plan.”
Jesus says that if they persecuted Him, they will persecute us as well.

Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also (John 15:20).

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ”

All Part of God’s Grand Plan?

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:35:45 +0000

by awayfromkeyboard

Question: All Part of God’s Grand Plan?
If you are a Christian, you are extremely familiar with “God’s plan.” This is the way that Christians traditionally explain things like amputations, cancer, hurricanes and car accidents.

You can see how pervasive “God’s plan” is by looking in Christian inspirational literature. For example, if we look in the book A Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren, we find this remarkable paragraph in Chapter 2:

Because God made you for a reason, he also decided when you would be born and how long you would live. He planned the days of your life in advance, choosing the exact time of your birth and death. The Bible says, “You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!” [Psalm 139:16]

There is also this:

Regardless of the circumstances of your birth or who your parents are, God had a plan in creating you.

Under this view of the universe, God plans everything.

Take a moment and think about what Rick Warren said. Rick said, “He planned the days of your life in advance, choosing the exact time of your birth and death.” Let’s examine one simple implication of this statement. What this means is that God pre-planned every abortion that has taken place on our planet.

If you think about this implication for a few moments, you will begin to realize how impossible “God’s plan” is. If the concept of “God’s plan” is true, you can first of all see that God wants us to be aborting children. Every single abortion is planned by God, so God must be doing it for a reason. Second, you can see that both the mother who requests the abortion and the doctor who performs it are blameless. Since it is God who planned the abortion of the child (God chose the “exact time” of the death, according to Rick Warren), the mother and doctor are simply puppets who are fulfilling God’s plan. You can also see that all the Christians who are fighting against abortion are missing the point. They are actually fighting against God’s plan, and their fight is completely futile. God is the all-powerful ruler of the universe, and his plan is for more than a million children a year to die in the United States through abortion. [ref] Each one of those abortions was meticulously planned by God, so fighting against abortion is a totally wasted effort.

If you are a Christian, what you are thinking is, “God does not intend for us to perform abortions!” But if you believe what Rick is saying, then you are obviously incorrect. God is actually the direct cause of every abortion on earth. If you find that notion to be uncomfortable, I would agree with you. Unfortunately, that is the logical outcome of God’s plan.

In order to better understand God’s plan, let’s look at one of the biggest global events that humans have ever witnessed: World War II. According to Encarta:

The human cost [of WWII], not including between 5.6 million and 5.9 million Jews killed in the Holocaust who were indirect victims of the war, is estimated to have been 55 million dead—25 million of those military and 30 million civilian.

In addition, according to Encarta:

61 countries participated in WWII
1.7 billion people participated in WWII
75% of all human beings alive at the time participated in WWII

World War II was obviously a major disaster — perhaps the most horrific event the world has ever seen. It is safe to say that nearly every human being on planet Earth prayed to God that this war would end.

And don’t forget Adolph Hitler. He was evil incarnate, and Hitler is well known for the atrocious things he did. It is interesting to look at Adolph Hitler in the context of prayer, and understand how Christians try to reconcile an all-loving, prayer-answering God with such a hateful man.

What I would like you to do right now is to consider this statement: “Hitler is part of God’s Plan.” Think about what Rick said:

He planned the days of your life in advance, choosing the exact time of your birth and death. The Bible says, “You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!” [Psalm 139:16]

Rick also says:

God never does anything accidentally, and he never makes mistakes. He has a reason for everything he creates. Every plant and every animal was planned by God, and every person was designed with a purpose in mind.

If God has a divine plan for each of us, then he had a divine plan for Hitler too. It is when you stop to think about it deeply that the contradictions hit you.

Prayer seems like a huge waste of time?

admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:35:27 +0000

by TEDxKrakow

Question: Prayer seems like a huge waste of time?
According to some sects of Christianity, God has a “divine plan” – there is a predetermined course of events that God set forth when he created us all. Predetermined – that means that my writing this sentence was a part of God’s plan. I wouldn’t have done it if it wasn’t in God’s plan. If that’s the case, then why should I bother praying to God for anything (praying only in the sense of asking for something to happen). If someone’s mother goes into surgery and they pray for a safe recovery, what good will it do if He has already decided she won’t make it?

On a much larger scale, why would God hear the prayers to help that guy’s mother survive her surgery but then turn around and ignore the prayers of the 10 million innocent people who perished in the Holocaust? What possible explanation could there be that God decided to ignore the prayers of those that perished in the 911 attacks? Or in the Vietnam War? I’m not even going to get started on why God would allow the Crusades to happen in his name. The bottom line is this: if prayers can be heard, then millions of life-changing prayers are ignored every day. Why would a benevolent, merciful, loving, caring God do that?
“Prayer gives people hope”….incorrect. Prayer gives people false hope. It is alright to hope for something and wish for it come true. Praying implies that there is a chance, however small, that the mere fact that you asked for them to come true may have an effect on them occuring. And if prayer can give people false hope, think how dangerous it can be. Imagine you are a Jew living in Auschwitz the day before the occupation. You know the occupation is coming but decide to stay and pray that God will watch over your family….

“God helps those who help themselves”
“That’s because you have no faith in God, and don’t belive he’s listening….” You’re not listening. I didn’t say it was my prayers who are being ignored. There were tens of thousands of extremely religious and devout Jews that were wiped off the face of the earth. They prayed every day, even before they asked for what they needed most – for the God they believed in all their lives to save them. Instead he left them to choke in gas chambers at the hands of evil men.

As for your instance that “He is (listening)!” You have no proof. Only blind and ignorant faith. And if he was listening, screw him for ignoring the pleas of his devout followers.

“Christians says relgion is a test of faith. What if faith is a test of logic?”
“In the case of the Holocaust. the 10 million people died knowing that they were going to die and their prayers were for the salvation of their soul. This is why God did not change the course of the war but allowed them to die.”

Really? REALLY? So you mean to tell me of the 10 million people, not one person every prayed to have their life saved – they all ONLY prayed for the salvation of their soul? okaaay….several inconsistencies. 1) you can’t possibly know what every one of the 10 million people was thinking, “only God knows that” 2) even if they ALL prayed for their salvation, how do you know all their prayers were answered? 3) how could you know why God really allowed them to die. you don’t know God’s “master plan”

“He who thinks he knows it all knows nothing”
“….meanings can be lost or changed if the translation is translated more than once to make people finally accept the meanings that they want. it is best to go directly to the source in order to have the best most accurate meaning.”

Perhaps you don’t realize how fundamentally you have just proved my point. You just told me to go read a specific version of the Bible because you want to make sure you are not reading a mistranslation. The Bible was originally written in Aramaic, a now-dead language. How can you, who live your life based on your version of the Bible, be so sure that yours isn’t mistranslated too. How can any of us truly know what the real original translation meant. People still argue over the technical translation of some Shakespearean phrases and that was less than 400 years ago in a language very similar to modern day English.
