Q: What does it mean when a blond beauty asks you 'do you feel lonely'...?

I was waking in the street when a blond beauty asked me 'do you feel lonely?'

 

I was excited.

 

Romantic movies are not lying!!!

 

'YES!' I said.

 

She suddenly took out a small brochure and told me...'Ya need Jesus'.

 

Grrrrrr

 

Does this ever happen to you?

You should have asked for a phone number.... Then give it to the Police. Trying to "convert" people is illegal here.

Ha ha. I am all for religious freedom. Of course I am. Even the Party is ok with religious freedom to an extent. But missionaries are against religious freedom. They want everyone to live under their rules.

Kim Davis is a good example. A very good example by the way. She was jailed for refusing to follow a court order. She is demanding that other people live by her religion.

The way I see it, the people who promote religion the most are the people who don't understand it. So yeah, if a foreigner is here to preach illegally, then chuck them out I say.

hi2u:

People proselytize because their religion instructs them to do so. Freedom of religion allows them to practice all aspects of their religion. It sounds like you want missionaries to live under your rules. 

 

Kim Davis defied a court order because the court order went against her moral conscience. According to your reasoning, if the government told you to sink refugee ships to slow down the tide of refugees, you would be the one to arm the torpedo.

She should never have been jailed. But as an elected official, she should be aware of the constitution... Secular society. Freedom to practice religion, but the state shall not promote religion. Jefferson was smart. He knew the God vote was an easy vote. That's why America is a secular state. So is China.

The separation of church and state is a myth. The state absolutely promotes religion, the religion of secularism. And what defines the religion of secularism? Anything they want. You think murder is evil? No problem, just write a law that it's ok to kill under circumstance A or circumstance B, then it becomes morally acceptable.  Law C to legally allow practice D violates your conscience? Too bad, law C was passed yesterday because one more person voted in favor than against, so you must accept it or else. So according to your religion of secularism, if the state tomorrow ordered the immediate removal of all refugees, you would be the first to report them to the police. You must separate your beliefs from the religion of secularism as defined by the state.

But morals and humanity are not owned by religion. If anything, a secular state should be a fairer state than a religious one. Trust me, if a UK politician was to bandstand on a religious platform he/she would never be elected. It's ok to be a religious politician in the UK, but if you used it to get elected it would work against you.

I have my own beliefs when it comes to religion. If Kim Davis objects to doing her job on religious grounds, then that is her right. So needs to go get another job. But how ironic is it that you Huckabees and Cruzes are saying the state should accomodate her in her job so she does not need to issue licences. It's her job. The party against big government are proposing they employ someone to sit and do nothing. They basically want to pay someone a big wage to do nothing. Is that not Ironic. Meanwhile, there was no support for the Muslim convert flight attendant who refused to serve alcohol on flights. In a secular state, people are equal irrespective of religion. As for me sinking a refugee ship... Sure, if I was a seaman, and it was my job, and I was ordered to do it... Who knows. Personally I would not be in that job. But give that order to a bible bashing righteous Republican.... Wow.

There was a good comment in the Guardian today. Would Kim Davis refuse to issue a gun permit based on her religion? Thou shall not kill and all that.... So some guy walks in and wants a permit to buy a handgun to defend his family..... Food for thought.

I would have disemboweled the yellow-haired infidel  for insinuating there are those amongst us who don't need "Jesus".

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
