The FP issue is being overflogged. Initially it was a bit hard to take but iv come to terms with it. It's actually more balanced now and more interesting. We can't all be cool with everything, so click on the topics u r interested in and let the rest be.

It's privately owned afterall and how it is run is entirely up to the owner.

Do u also know that all the members of seal team 6 who participated in that operation have all died mysteriously in a hello crash? Perhaps the govt wanted to get rid of them
That's not true.
Rob O' Neill-the one that claims to have fired the shot that killed Osama is retired and is a well known public speaker. Another retired member-Matt Bissonette wrote a book 'No easy day' and still appears on TV. Yes there was a 'copter incident involving Naval Seals but an Obama led USA would not get rid of an entire 'special Operations Military Unit for any reason. Be very sure of your facts before posting info on a public forum.

Op, the team that took down bin laden is greatest fighting force in the U.S.. that team is Seal Team VI ...
there are other seal teams, but team six is the devil's hive.. killing machines.. a member of that team can actually take out 50 men singlehandedly...
if you know the training exams those guys go through before being recruited, about 200 muscular fit guys apply to join.. but at the end, only 5 or 6 are qualified... even after acceptance, those 6 guys would still be tested 2 wks later.. if they go below standard, they fall out too sad .. after then, they are tested each year.. if anyone is below standard, he'll be assigned to another group..
The Seal team VI (DEVGRU) has more than 75 commandos. Over two dozens of them took part in the operation that took out Osama (Neptune Spear). VI is just a codename, it has nothing to do with the number of soldiers.

Don't know about 50 but the US Navy Seals is one of the most rugged military units in the world. They undergo very rigorous training & can do anything to fulfill a mission.

Operation Neptune Spear was mainly executed by Seal Team 6. The Pakis played a minor role.

SATURDAY:
Saturday is the day of the week following Friday and preceding Sunday. Saturday is the seventh and therefore last day of the week according to many commonly used calendars. The Romans named Saturday Sāturni diēs ("Saturn's Day"wink

Saturn is a god in ancient Roman religion and a character in myth. Saturn is a complex figure because of his multiple associations and long history. He was the first god of the Capitol, known since the most ancient times as Saturnius Mons, and was seen as a god of generation, dissolution, plenty, wealth, agriculture, periodic renewal and liberation. In later developments he came to be also a god of time.

Saturn is also one of the planets in the universe and the only one with a ring around it. Both the Planet and the last day of the week got their names from the Roman god.

THURSDAY:
Thursday is derived from Old English Þūnresdæg and Middle English Thuresday (with loss of -n-, first in northern dialects, from influence of Old Norse Þorsdagr) meaning "Thor's Day

Norse mythology portrays Thor as a hammer-wielding god associated with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, the protection of mankind, and also hallowing, healing and fertility.


FRIDAY:
Friday comes from the Old English Frīġedæġ, meaning the "day of Frige", a result of an old convention associating the Old English goddess Frigg with the Roman goddess Venus, with whom the day is associated in many different cultures.
Frige, or Frig, was the "presumed" Old English name for a goddess found in Anglo-Saxon paganism, the religion that dominated Anglo-Saxon England from the 5th to the 7th centuries CE. There are no direct descriptions of this deity in surviving literary sources, but historians have drawn together indirect evidence from a variety of other sources, arguing that she was probably associated with sexuality and fertility by her worshippers.

Education › Re: Pictures of the gods the Days of the Week were named after by 9jaBloke(op):
WEDNESDAY:
The name Wednesday continues Middle English Wednesdei. Old English still had wōdnesdæg, which would be continued as *Wodnesday (but Old Frisian has an attested wednesdei). It is named after the Germanic god- Woden, known widely as Odin.

The name is a calque of the Latin dies Mercurii "day of Mercury", reflecting the fact that the Germanic god Woden (Wodanaz or Odin) from Old Norse Óðinn) is a widely revered god. In Norse religion, from which stems most of our information about the god, Odin is associated with healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, battle, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet, and is the husband of the goddess Frigg.

TUESDAY

The name Tuesday is derived from the Old English "Tiwesdæg" and literally means "Tiw's Day"

Tiw is the Old English form of the Proto-Germanic god- 'Tyr'. In Norse Mythology, Tyr is a god associated with law and heroic glory and is also portrayed as the son of Odin.

He is a god of war and will take mead, meat and blood for sacrifice. If a warrior carved the rune Tîwaz on his weapon he would be dedicating it to Týr.

Have you ever wondered where the days of the week got their names from?

Yea Sunday and Monday are easy to guess but the remaining days of the week are weird-sounding.

Below is how the weeks were named:

SUNDAY:
Like we may have already guessed, the first day of the week is named after the Sun. The English word Sunday derived sometime before 1250 from sunedai, which itself developed from Old English (before 700) Sunnandæg (literally meaning "sun's day"wink.


MONDAY:
The English noun Monday derived sometime before 1200 from monedæi, which itself developed from Old English (around 1000) mōnandæg and mōndæg (literally meaning "moon's day"wink. The term is a Germanic interpretation of Latin lunae dies ("day of the moon"wink.

nobody knows what caused the big bang but I do know there is a power behind it. I've posted it several times in this forum that I believe in an overlaying God and His powers. (Check my posts please.) what I don't subscribe to is the notion that it is the Jewish and Arabic God that is behind the powers inherent in the universe.

Let me rest my case here by reminding you that it's not the power behind the universe that is my problem. It's the claim of the religions that I have issues with.
Cool, ur point is clearer now.
I believe in one God & only 3 religions advocate Monotheism: Judaism, Christianity & Islam. I only have respect for these & those that practice them right.

Thank goodness you checked and saw I have no personal problem with anyone. Thanks so much. As for Jesus locating me soon it depends on what you have in mind which will remain with you. I'm too advanced to give in to religious blackmail which is characteristic of Christianity and Islam.

For me I'm a free thinking man who believe we should look more into nature and find ways of progress through science instead of relying on the teachings made up by desert men fighting against each other for land and relevance millennia ago.

What you believe is your business. What your belief does to the society is everybody's business. Thanks.
What i have in mind? Relax, nothing bad comes from Jesus. Again, Religion is not all about blackmail. It is the belief in a Higher Power. I'm a scientist, so I know all about the scientific account of Earth's history. It's actually easy to flow with because science is about physical observation and fact-based hypothesis & theories. Religion on the other hand is divine and faith-based. Even scientific theories still have loopholes. The Big Bang Theorem did not explain what was before the explosion. Einstein's relativity is not yet fully reconciled with the law of gravity. Again, the Geologic time scale states that the modern man was among the last to come into existence so the earliest scientists had to study back over 13 billion years to establish the origin of the earth. Can u even start to imagine how inaccurate their facts would have beenhuh That's why we stick to the most reasonable theory until a superior one emerges.

I like the way you reason though....every atheist and agnostic claim to have a free mind but every intelligent person need to broaden his/her mind to accommodate the uncertainty. Knowledge is too vast.

You can google it. It happened in April 2011 in Ivory Coast. They used optical illusion technology to achieve it.

I stand to gain something because you can't play such tricks in the developed world. They'll only do it in Africa so we can be perpetual slaves to religion. It's religion and nothing else that has made Africa so underdeveloped.
I just did. Didn't get any result that particularly validates your post. Btw many developed countries have records of approved apparitions and visions...France, Ireland, Portugal, Belgium; to mention a few. I thought you had a problem with the Catholic Church but I see your grouse is with Religion. Oglalasioux, Jesus will locate you soon. Say Amen
