Guardian Angels - Do U believe their existence?

Over half of Americans believe in Guardian Angels: study

WASHINGTON (AFP) - - More than half of Americans believe they are protected by a guardian angel and two in three are certain that heaven exists, according to a study of US religious beliefs released Thursday.

The survey, conducted by researchers at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, asked 350 questions about religion to 1,648 adults across the country.

Fifty-five percent said they believed they were protected from harm by a guardian angel, a figure that researcher Christopher Bader said came as a surprise.

"To find out that more than half of the American public believes this was shocking to me. I did not expect that," he said.

Sixty-seven percent said they were "absolutely sure" heaven exists and 17 percent believed it "probably" does. Seventy-three percent of Americans believe in hell, it found.

Women are more likely than men to believe in heaven (68 percent to 56 percent), blacks more than whites (86 percent to 60 percent), southerners more than easterners (76 percent to 50 percent).

Also, political party was linked to religious beliefs, with 77 percent of Republicans saying they believed in heaven, compared to 54 percent of Democrats.

Those Americans who say they do not believe in God -- four percent -- as well as those who say they have no religion -- 11 percent -- were very close the figures in the 2005 survey.

In all 45 percent of Americans say they have had at least two religious encounters in their lives, the survey found, and conservative Protestants were more likely than Catholics or Jews to report religious or mystical experiences.

Something to do with man's drinking....

The above poster was introduced around 1919 (just before prohibition�started) and.................................

No wonder MEN kept drinking.

MAN lah!

A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total make-over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets her hair done, new make-up and buys several new outfits, and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much

The man was impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5,000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her.

Then, he married the one with the biggest boobs.

Men are like that, you know.

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer' s research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them

AsSHoLe

A prominent woman went to her doctor for advice.

She told him that her husband had developed a penchant for anal sex. And she was not sure if it was such a good idea. The doctor asked, 'Well do you enjoy it?' 'Actually, yes, I do in fact.' 'Does it hurt you?' he asked. 'No. I do like it.' 'Well, then,' the doctor continued, 'there's no reason why you shouldn't practice anal sex, if that's what you like, so long as you take care not to get pregnant.' The woman was mystified. 'What? You can get pregnant from anal sex?' 'Of course,' the doctor replied. 'Where do you think all our present politicians came from?

There You Are!!!!

A married couple in their early 60s was out celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant.

Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table and said, "For being such an exemplary married couple and for being faithful to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish."

"Ooh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband," said the wife. The fairy moved her magic stick and - abracadabra! - two tickets for the new QM2 luxury liner appeared in her hands.

Now it was the husband's turn. He thought for a moment and said, "Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this only occurs once in a lifetime, so I'm sorry, my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me".

The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish...

So the fairy made a circle with her magic stick, and -abracadabra! - the husband became 92 years old.

Aide says Malaysian minister offers resignation

Malaysia's law minister has offered his resignation after protesting the government's use of a draconian law in a series of arrest last week.

An aide to Zaid Ibrahim says the minister tendered his resignation letter to Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi today.

The move came after he broke rank and criticized the use of the Internal Security Act, which allows indefinite detention without trial, to detain an opposition lawmaker and two journalists last week

Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail says he accepts his three-year suspension from the party but promises to make a comeback.

However, he refused to apologise or retract his contentious statement and called on Umno members and Malays to stay calm, adding that it was “a lesson for the Malays to be united”.

Speaking at a press conference convened by Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Mansor after the supreme council announced his suspension yesterday, Ahmad described the decision as “God’s will”.

“In politics there are leaders and fighters. As a fighter, there are sacrifices and risks. If you are afraid of the ocean waves, don’t build your house on the beach. “Being struck by waves is normal but this time it was a tsunami (that hit me).

“But I have a long time, three years, to build a stronger house. I will build it on the same site. I will stay on with Umno, my party,” he said, drawing applause from his supporters who accompanied him.

On the decision, Ahmad noted that it was not an easy one for party president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his deputy Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to make. He said he could still serve Umno in other ways.

“If the division is smart enough to create a new post, like an adviser, I can become an adviser. “It does not end there and I can even become executive secretary,” said Ahmad.

Heart shaking pictures of Love....

These pics explain the suffering of a poor bird shocked by its mate's fatal injury.

Here its mate is injured and the condition is very appalling

Here he brings her food and attends to her with love and compassion.

Shock with her death and try to move her

He is aware that his sweetheart is dead and will not come to him again.He cries with adoring love.

Stands beside her and screams

Finally aware that she would not return to him and she departed him, stands beside her body with sadness and sorrow

Photos of the two birds were said to have been taken in the Republic of Ukraine. Millions of people in America and Europe cried after watching the pictures. It was said that the photographer sold these pictures for a nominal price to the most famous newspaper in France and all the copies of that news paper were sold out on the day these pictures were published.

RIGHT SPEECH

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that: 'A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation.'

Many relationships break off because of wrong speech.

When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, 'Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school.'

On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, 'Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker.' She answered,'You should appreciate that you married me. Other wise, he will be the millionaire and not you.

'Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.

NO OVERPOWERING

Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another, or demands too much. People in power tend to think that “Rules” & “My Way” will conquer all and their mind will change to your course after the WIND- FALL results.

Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that 'It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character.

'It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the other’s character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness.It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations…

AND most of all “VoTe” it right! When you have the “Right” next…

Pendatang (immigrants)- Terlajak kata tak boleh undur (once you’ve said something wrongly, you cannot take it back).

Bukit Bendera Umno chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail had allegedly called the Chinese pendatang (immigrants) and was also reported to have said that “as the Chinese were only immigrants it was impossible to achieve equal rights amongst races” during a ceramah in Permatang Pauh in Aug 25.

He was accused of using racial ideology to achieve its own personal political agenda. Many opposition politician called for disciplinary action against Ahmad and wanted Ahmad to immediately retract his statement and apologise to the community.

Since then a police report was made at the district police headquarters in Patani Road over Ahmad’s alleged remarks of stirring racial feelings with his remarks.

Anyway Ahmad has refused to apologise over his racist remark calling the Chinese community “immigrants who do not deserve equal rights”.

“Why should I apologise? I didn’t do anything wrong. Those who do wrong should apologise but I haven’t done anything,” Ahmad said when The Star met him outside his Bayan Baru office yesterday. He, however, refused to comment on whether the press misquoted him(The Star:5/9/08)

Abdullah said Najib’s apology was the “right thing to do” although the sentiment on the ground was that the apology should come from Ahmad himself. “He has said that it was not his intention to offend the Chinese community but he has already uttered such remarks.

PENANG's LAND Matters

Chief Minister Lim had recently attacked Ahmad on a 1997 land deal involving PPSB, in which Ahmad had been a director. Lim alleged that the company had cheated the state of RM500,000 in a deal involving 4.2ha of industrial land in Bukit Minyak.

On the alleged misappropriation of funds involving now-defunct company Popular Profile Sdn Bhd (PPSB), Ahmad said he had resigned before any action was taken on the company. He was quoted as saying: “This issue has nothing to do with me. Action is taken on a company, not on a personal capacity. Moreover, I resigned from the company on Sept 1, 1998. What happened after that, I don’t know."

My Personal point :

I do admit that my grandparents were both immigrants from China.They came here to find a descent job and to make a living at the same time they sent monies back to China to support their families and relatives.My parents were born here in Tanah Melayu-Malaya and I was born in Malaysia too.I am the 3rd generation after the first arrival of my grandparents in Malaya;way back in 1915-1920s'.

Let's talk about the 3rd generation Chinese here ; especially group of people like us who were born in the 60's or earlier.We were born,raised ,educated and some unfortunate good soul have even died on this beloved land...and so on. Ahmad shouldn't have called the Chinese in that manner no more...Those were the past history.We are all Malaysian!

“Hopefully those remarks which were uttered by him was not intended to hit the present Chinese in Malaysia.But it was only mean to highlight the originality of the Earlier Chinese who were trying to find a green pasture on this land...And most of all he has no intention to offend the Chinese community." Right?

Note: The Portuguese were here from 1511 t0 1641.(367 Years ago).Those Portuguese descendants who reside in Malaysia are all considered as Bumiputra in Malaysia.

Councillor questions Hannah Yeoh seating at place reserved for councillors !!

"Councillor Keshminder Singh, who raised the matter midway through the Subang Jaya Municipal Council proceedings, said though state assemblymen and MPs could attend the meeting as observers they were not supposed to sit at places reserved for councillors."

“Since the full board meeting discussed issues in Subang Jaya, it’s relevant to my work. I need to take notes as I have to update the residents every now and then,’’ Yeoh said.

MPSJ president Datuk Adnan Mohd Ikhsan said as a resident of the municipality, Yeoh had a right to attend the full board meeting.

<"Keshminder later told the reporters that he initially thought of walking out of the meeting but his friends advised him against doing so. ">

<“If Yeoh sits again at the reserved place at the next full board meeting, I will walk out,’’ said Keshminder. >

Do you think this "YB Councillor" has got nothing better to do other then arguing over a seating place where she was permitted to be seated??

Was it a cheap publicity?

Mat Salleh biking on Malaysian road

I saw this guy on the Kuala Selangor trunk road sometime ago.Funny Mat Salleh! Don't you think they have got the guts and they are the adventurous lots!?

Imagine yourself riding this type of bike on an Asian road! Not too safe lah Huh? I suppose this Mat Salleh;some how or rather they possess that kind of superiority sense to some Asian people generally;may be not to you or me but to the others...may be huh? And may be due to their body size;tall and strong build physique.And some how or rather they are being look- up too! Having all these "advantages" to travel alone;without worry of being bully...though in an unknown land.

I won't be surprised that some of us feel the same too:- Admiring the way Mat Salleh do...and wanted to be like one...That's why some of these people were teased as "Banana Skin" >They thought they behaved like a Mat Salleh!

Coming to the question;What if an Asian man or woman were to travel like them ; to a remote area...may be we don't feel easy and safe to travel in that manner!We always travelled / toured in a comfort zone .Everything is arranged for i.e. accompanied by a tourist guide, 8 courses meal, all indulges with money,pay& pay and get all the good treatment but unlike Mat Salleh they like to travel on a budget ( of Cause there are some of us who travel like them too-on budget) and in a way / method that we normally can't match with them!They are unique and really adventurous.

Why need so long !??

Welder’s love plans unscrewed

A welder who tried to elongate his penis with a nut found himself in a pickle when the nut got stuck after he had an erection.

The victim, from Taman Sri Skudai, had apparently been trying to increase the length of his penis ahead of his engagement next week when disaster struck.

It is learnt that the incident occurred on Thursday and the 20-something-year-old victim went to the Sultanah Aminah Hospital here to seek treatment when he was unable to get the nut off himself.

Unfortunately, hospital authorities were at a loss and had to call the Fire and Rescue Department for assistance.

A department spokesman confirmed that they received a call from the hospital yesterday, and sent seven firemen to help out.

They, too, were unable to remove the nut. At press time, the nut was still firmly attached to the base of the man’s genitals.

This is the second case in the past week involving objects stuck on penises. On Aug 25, firemen were summoned to the University Malaya Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur to cut a steel ring from a patient’s penis after numerous attempts by doctors failed to dislodge it. It is believed the patient, in his 20s, had slipped the ring onto his penis to increase his sexual prowess.

Doc: Longer penis does not mean better sex Men should refrain from attempting to elongate their penises to improve their sex life as the process could backfire.

Those who experiment may face disfigurement or lose the member if the penis turns gangrenous due to impaired blood flow. It may also be fatal if left untreated.

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre consultant urologist and senior lecturer Dr Lee Boon Cheok was commenting after a welder who attempted to elongate his penis with a nut ended up in hospital.

The welder, from Taman Sri Skudai, ran into trouble when his erection caused the nut to become stuck fast to the base of his penis.

“I would advise men not to try these unconventional methods,” Dr Lee said. He said a lot of people associated penis size with virility, which was unfortunate, as size varied with ethnicity and physique.

“Understanding your partner’s physical and emotional needs is much more likely to improve your sexual relationship than trying to change the size of your penis,” he said. Dr Lee noted that most non-surgical methods used for penile elongation such as vacuum pumps, squeezing exercises and lotions merely gave the illusion of length, but did not actually lead to greater length when erect.

“Surgical correction of penile length is not recommended for purely cosmetic reasons. The procedures are risky and unlikely to produce satisfactory results according to current evidence,” he said.

Dr Lee said men contemplating penile elongation should be given counselling and should be made aware of the potential risks. He added that a large lower abdomen may also give the illusion that the penis is shorter than it actually is.

HairBands from CHINA-SeMUA_BOLEH_ land!!!

Beware when you are travelling to China , just try to becareful when you are buying hairbands down the road… who knows what it is made from?? . Used condoms are being recycled into hair bands in southern China !!!.

State media reported in the latest example of potentially harmful Chinese-made products, rubber hair bands have been found in local markets and beauty salons in Dongguan and Guangzhou cities in southern Guangdong province.,

China Daily newspaper said. 'These cheap and colourful rubber bands and hair ties sell well ... threatening the health of local people,' it said. Despite being recycled, the hair bands could still contain bacteria and viruses, it said. 'People could be infected with AIDS, (genital) warts or other diseases if they hold the rubber bands or strings in their mouths while waving their hair into plaits or buns,' the paper quoted a local dermatologist who gave only his surname, Dong, as saying. A bag of ten of the recycled bands sells for just 25 fen (three cents), much cheaper than others on the market, accounting for their popularity, the paper said.

A government official was quoted as saying recycling condoms was illegal. China 's manufacturing industry has been repeatedly tarnished this year by a string of scandals involving shoddy or dangerous goods made for both domestic and foreign markets.

In response, it launched a public relations blitz this summer aimed at playing up efforts to strengthen monitoring systems.
