sometimes

sometimes the only difference between fact and opinion is perception
one person will say its a fact the abortion is wrong, and another will say thats a matter of opinion
the thought of someone saying abortion is right as a matter of fact is slightly humorous.  as if stating life's existence is wrong, everything that comes with it, even pondering what right and wrong is.

fact isn't always what we know... like if were to say the world isn't round, could u argue it to be? Do you know it to be?  we rely on our faith that we are not some center of a world wide joke

The more i think about it the more i realize our 'knowledge' depend so heavily on our faith in what others have experienced
and yet
many in society criticize those who openly have faith
why?
it makes me think of the opening statement 'God, if there is a God...'
as if some void would be offended at the mere mention of there being a God...  no, its really fear.  why fear exposed faith in something that can be so easily attacked, right?  its a noncommittal  'if' exit strategy.
There is a God
now I'll sit here and wait for an angry teenager to yell "PROVE IT!!"
prove there isn't one punk.
'well if there wus a Gawd why would there be so many epic tragedies, like school shootings and  twin tower attacks'
well, that doesn't really disprove anything, just shows that people have a potential to be bad people
'fine fine, wut about earthquakes and tsunamis and junk like that?  if there was a God he would stop that stuff for sure.'
again, that only proves that there are forces of nature.  Did u think of God as merely humanities babysitter?  Or maybe an easy target to blame for everything bad that happens?
I feel that God is blamed for everything that goes wrong.  sooo much easier than blaming humanity, and our constant epic failures.  maybe tsunamis and junk are really a blessing.  Humanity's obsessive need for possession and drama constantly escalates into wars.  purely human driven blood baths of destruction.  And for the damage we deal to the earth maybe it deserves some payback occasionally.  maybe we should realize we do not need our self created drama, the earth will provide it.
we can stop our self destruction
we should start taking accountability

Amazon business roflcopter

several months ago I broke the lcd on my new laptop.

i called sony and they wanted 500$ to replace it

i looked online and it was 200$ for the screen....

so i pulled a screen out of an old laptop (about 8 years old) and placed it one my new one.  wasnt able to close my laptop but hey, it was runnin' fine.

eventually saved up some money and started screen shopping.  with more info i accumulated i found a sweet deal: 88$ on Amazon for a brand new screen.  Ordered it and about a week later it showed up at my house.

the problem is that it brought a friend with him.  when i received the box there was another box with it.  I just figured Amanda had ordered something too, so whatever.  I installed the screen and it looks amazing.

later i gave the box to Amanda and she told me it wasn't hers.  It had our address  and phone number but had G. M. Smith as the intended receiver.  So I kindly wrote an email to the company, after leaving positive feedback for the lcd screen, that they had accidentally sent me an additional package.

they responded

"Thank you very much your reply.

I am really very sorry to you for the troubles you have suffered and I do give my deeply apology to you.

We will contact UPS, maybe they make a mistake.

we will reply you on monday, and ship the panel to you ASAP.

Sorry again.

 best regards!"


I asked them to re-read the message i sent them, and informed them i received the lcd screen already.  They then asked me to take the package to ups and ship it to them and they will send me money on amazon.  
I asked them to send a prepaid shipping label .
they said it takes to long, they 'sent me 8$ on amazon' if thats not enough to cover the shipping they want a receipt and then they will give me the rest.


I explained to them, first off, i did an calculate shipping on ups and the cheapest option was 13$, second I cant pay for the shipping with the amazon money, right?


I got in touch with my brother, Abe, who works at ups.Abe confirmed that the seller is able to make shipping labels, email them, or pay for direct pick up from my home.


I received an email from the seller saying he didnt have any prepaid labels to send me, and that it takes a long time to make them.  and for me to check if its cheaper to send fedex


In addition to wasting my time writing this guy emails, i took pictures of the items sent, shipping info, and packaging, all to help him out.

I finally put my foot down and said, 'if you want your packages send me a prepaid shipping label, or pay for ups to pick it up from my house.  if you have any more questions, feel free to contact ups'


I felt like this guy was constantly testing the limits of how much advantage he could take of me once he realized i was nice.  He continually ignored what i was saying.  Why are there people like this?  it seems like the philosophy is 'if you're nice to me ill treat you like crap, if you treat me like crap i'll be nice to you'


idiocy at its finest
