Balotelli (When asked why he didn't celebrate his goals
during the Euro's)
"When I score, I don't celebrate because I'm only
doing my job. When a postman delivers letters, does
he celebrate?"

1. The Grim Reaper is Death with a capital D.
He is perhaps the most recognized entity of
all time, neither ghost nor god ; the Grim
Reaper is a psychopomp who’s job is to
conduct the souls of the recently dead into
the afterlife . He is often depicted as a tall
pale skeletal figure shrouded in a long, dark,
black hooded cloak wielding a scythe which
he uses to harvest souls with, although
some accounts say he just touches the
person to pop their soul so they don’t feel
pain when they die. When he moves, he
seemingly glides rather than walking. The
Grim Reaper is known for not saying much,
always having a grin on his face, and of
course being the main focus of attention in
whatever room he is in. He is able to turn his
head completely around a la Linda Blair so
that he can survey his domain; The Reaper
must be vigilant lest someone try to cheat
him.
He rides in a rickety old coach drawn by
white horses that makes a god awful noise
due to the stones he carries in it. When he
takes someone’s soul , he drops off a stone.
The Grim Reaper is not an omnipresent
personification of death in charge of the
entire world, but rather each area has their
own Grim Reaper who serves as the Grim
Reaper of the area until such a time as
they find a replacement.
Decorations of him haunt tombs and graves,
often with the engraving of “Rich Man, Poor
Man, Beggar and Thief…You will one day be
were I am.” In some artwork the Grim
Reaper is portrayed locked in embrace of
Life ( often pictured as a young woman.) The
point is that life and death are connected
and that life is as fleeting as the sweet
bloom of youth.
The origins of the Grim Reaper go back far
into the past and he was known by many
names. In old Celtic folklore he was known
as L’Ankou , sometimes called Father Time .
To the Greeks he was known as Cronus and
the Romans called him Saturn .
The Grim Reaper can teach us much. He
serves as a reminder that life is short and
to make the best of every day (eat dessert
first and dance now), to cut away the dead
wood and move ahead. The Grim Reaper
also reminds us to care for out dearly
departed. Go to the cemetery and care and
lovelying tend a grave; go to a funernal and
speak. Remember those you miss, however
painful.
You can be a king or street sweeper, but
everybody dances with the Grim Reaper.

2.In folklore, the Grim Reaper is a genderless
figure (assumedly male) who wears a dark
cloak with a hood covering his face, and is
renouned for carrying a scythe. It's hands
and feet are normally that of a skeleton .
Also referred to as Death , the Grim Reaper
is said to kill anyone it touches.
In modern day storytelling, the Grim Reaper
takes the soul of a person when it is their
time to leave the living world. Many people
believe Death is a messenger of Satan , but it
takes life when it is the person's time,
regardless of what happens in their afterlife.
Figuratively speaking, the Grim Reaper is in
the gap between life and death, essentially
helping people pass from the living world to
that of the dead. He is the sign of Death, and
his representation is shown on the tarot
card for Death.
In the TV Series 'Dead Like Me', the Grim
Reaper was infact a group of Reapers who
took the souls of those about to die, to
spare them the pain of their death and to
help them cross to the next world.
Other representations of the Grim Reaper
in shows such as ' Family Guy ' or ' The
Simpsons ' show the more traditional
counterpart, that his touch can kill instantly.
Many people claim that the representation
of the Grim Reaper is seen before a person
dies, and takes the soul of the person to
lead them to a new place.

Christainity came only about because of a girl that lied that she was a virgin.

delightful1:
so there's some1 am better than? Have attended a total of 7 weddings all my life. And all are my siblings and close relatives. I hate crowd and all the ceremony stuffs .

wah if i said i haven't attended any?

ganase2: In this age and time, being an introvert does not seem to be what anyone easily admits to....readily, everyone is trying to prove they have the requisite social skills of an extrovert.

Between, here are funny but real reasons why you just might be an introvert...do read on!

1. You think before you talk and check before you chat
Sort of the right thing to do huh?...You have a consistently running internal monologue that screens every word before it drops from your mouth. Not a fast speaker there...You screen your chats too severally, before you send them...lol.

2. You go to parties -– but not to meet people.
Nooo...you may not necessarily be hanging out alone...but meeting new people is rarely the goal of attending a party. You simply get in your safe harbour- looking out for your friends and hanging out with them.

3. Great speaker, fearful mingler
You may not be shy...infact, you can give a great speech in front of 500 people but mingling with them one-on-one afterwards is a huge problem.

4. You hate idle chatter
You can be in a room with room mates with them discussing on a topic without necessarily making a contribution...you hate small talk not because you hate people but because they seem meaningless to you.

5. You are self conscious
Since you are not doing most of the talking, you are doing most of the observing and hence, assume that everyone is observing you in the same way...judging the way you speak, your accent etc....whereas, they might not necessarily be doing so,

6. You like extreme sitting positions
When you have to sit at a bench, you don't sit in the middle because you don't like being surrounded by people on all sides. In church, you prefer the extreme rows of seats to the middle ones.

7. You dread audience participation
You prefer a talk or a lecture to a discussion or interaction. If you must be involved in the latter, you must have been informed earlier so that you can "compose yourself".

8. You've been accused severally of not keeping in touch
The funny part is that you cannot fathom why someone who called you three days back would call you and say something like; "You have forgotten me abi..."and you're like, "Are we supposed to be talking everyday"?....you also do not like midnight, except its utterly the last resort. For you, it's too much time to waste on "nonsense talk".
You screen all your calls and you may not pick up your phone even from people you like only to call them back as soon as you’re mentally prepared and have gathered the energy for the conversation.

9. You're a Writer
...a good one at that. Or sometimes, a poet. You prefer to put your ideas in writing than to speak them because the former gives you the opportunity to perfectly choose your words and structure your thoughts.

10. Friends made you and not the other way round
Check out the list of your closest and distant friends and you'd realize that they made more efforts at being your friend than you did at the initial stage before you settled into the friendship.

If you can boast of some of these qualities, then check again...against your initial judgement, you just might be an introvert!

A free thinker.

rinrin23: Well said!

Atheists dont claim to have superior knowledge over something they know nothing about, or something that might even be nothing.

Are u an atheist also?

Several people in this group have grossly
mis-characteriz ed Atheism as a belief. Let
me see if I can help explain Atheism by
means of a metaphor:
There is an auditorium full of people
gathered in groups and wearing colored
shirts; some groups are wearing red
shirts, others green, etc.... In the middle of
the auditorium is a table with an opaque
un-opened box on it and hanging from the
ceiling above the box is a sign that reads:
"What color is the fruit inside the box?".
The people wear the color of shirt they
believe the color of the fruit in the box to
be.
Some people believe the color of the fruit
to be red, because their family and friends,
teachers and acquaintances all believe it to
be red, and how could so many people be
wrong? Other people wear orange shirts:
they have incredibly articulated logical
formulations to explain how the fruit can
be no other color than orange. Other
believe the color to be green; they
intuitively felt "green-ness" emitting from
the box the moment they entered the
auditorium. Etc....
The Atheist is the one who doesn't align
with a color, but rather questions: "Since
nobody has ever opened the box and
nobody can see into it, how do we know
there is even a fruit in it let alone know
what color it might be?". The people who
believe the fruit is in the box and believe
they know what color it is are the ones
holding a belief. The Atheist holds no belief
because there is no good reason to do so.
The reason that I, as an Atheist, engage in
dialog with believers is to, hopefully, help convince them to focus their efforts on
finding out what's in the box rather than wasting their time focusing on their beliefs. I hope this helps clear up some of the misunderstandin g people have about Atheists and what we "believe".

Logicalmindy: Everything you wrote here is more like a psycopathic ranting.

Forcing people to accept your stand in atheism? So, what is the difference from religion which you are bullying against, if I may ask?

xtainity n islam. And it is a quote.

wiegraf: bump

bump?

I will speak up for once because I've the right to. I believe religion bullies us into believing we're less of a value then we actually are. Human life is precious and for a book to tell us that we will burn in hell because we won't accept the words of some jewish carpenter that lived 2,500 years ago is truly insane. Religion devalues human life, free your mind while you can. #speakupaginstreligion.
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

There's something common between christians, they tell you unbelievers will perish for eternity. Right?
