I get confused about why it can be a tax exemption. I would think charities would do better if this was not the case. Someone, who says to themself, Im so busy pulling in the bucks, and have some that I could use. I mean how many homes can one person buy, right! Is there is somebody who can help me get it to X. Ill cover your costs as well. The X is important because it is all such a personal opinion on what or who needs charity. Need being operative. The receiver also needs to be able to get back to living their own life after the charities need has been covered. And this is where I think people become aware of how that can, but not always stem to business. Sometimes that's good and sometimes it isnt-so better keep it personal and not associated with tax. Well that's what I reckon, and is there a donor fatigue? Where??
Posted in: Many global charities reported a drop in private, corporate and governmental donations in 2010 due to the ongoing recession and "donor fatigue" over the numerous requests for help in the aftermath of disasters throughout the year. What are your thoughts on this?

A stab in the dark! Well they could work on those sub programmes. I can hear it now-The Green and Yellow Submarine!! Of course, theyd need the dollars. Wouldnt it be neat if Japan and Australia could co-operate on this. Work out the whaling, that subsidises some of it and gets the ball rolling, agree on a number, shake hands. Sell better tasting fish, preserve the Australian environment. Japan-we have the eco-image AND fishermen! Australia-we have the goods! US-chuckles. Russia-we have the top end covered. Hey! down the line you never know JAL and the aero-programmes that are sitting wasted in Australia could even hit it off!

I think most Australians dont really like whaling, but could put up with Japan whaling so long as it was in Japanese waters-or even close. Australia probably doesnt want to harm it's fishing industry either, but their not greedy enough to expect that fishing waters south of Australia is open slather. Japan wants the cheapest rates possible so they research. Australia should slap Japan with huge fines for trespassing. And get off the legal huff; anyway you look at it Japan just wants to proove they have the balls and the right to claim their territory-especially since theyre loosing that fight in Okinawa. Even Okinawans realize yours is where you are. Just cause you can produce a boat that will get you there doesnt mean you have the right. Australians are nicer thatn Taiwan, Russia, NK, they do things legally, or at least as soft as butter. So hypocritical balls of Japan push the only aggressive buttons they can. Too bad they thought Aussies were stupid-of course they were right about New Z.-but hey they could arrange whaling from New Z. and see how far they get.

Australia should let Australians do the fishing there, and then sell it to the Japanese. Despite it being a large body of water, way off the coast line of Australia, it is reeeeeeally out of Japan's way to go fishing, or observing. Nth Korea can get annoyed about waters that are close to them, and it took them getting really annoyed before the US made a move into them waters. Certainly Japan moving around Down Under is waaaay out of their territory. But Australia should allow more fishing by their fishing industry; and quit putting fishing licences so high that only foreigners can afford them. This would be the economics being referred to I think. Australia has become so strict they want everybody eating nothing but witchedy-grubs-please dont remind them you have to cut a tree to get them. And Japan should learn to butt out. Fancy getting tight on waters around Okinawa, and then just cruising around everywhere else as if they have the moral high.

one of the biggest differences ive noticed about jeh.witnesses from what ive studied, is the last few passages of the bible. the talk about prophecy. having said that they usually do witness well, like catholics tracking down the Holy Spirit....and they generally can quote the bible well so they dont actually prophesize themselves; but thats where personal interpretation-like the prophets and the God of the old testament being based similarly-can seem judgemental...and from the way they visit my place, id say they have a different concept of time, and personal space. like who likes uninvited guests; last time they visited i had time to talk, but said i usually dont and that because i do study the bible why dont they approach somebody else seeing they have the free time to walk around talking about it. but no they came again with oyatsu, at their time. presumption presiding. if the bdl is jeh. wit. they should approach discourse with other christian churches at the local community level, because theyre highly selective, they seem judgemental.

Yes well quoting that not all believers will enter the kingdom of God, its okay, I think you sin too. Discredit, no. In Time, though, economics and lies,values, will force a hand to be dealt.IMO...in a way it already is. On a one on one basis, it is easy to handle, cover a community even and there is always chaos. Jumping countries is out of my league : )

Values: well i guess for a non-believer, getting to Jesus isnt easy, but you could associate it with birth of a child. Honouring the love that creates a child. The process of birth. Is there any such other season where this is done? This is where, despite the suggestion that I may be coming at it from the wrong end, and that non-believers from that angle cannot sin-I was trying to appeal to an inner sense of right, I wasnt talking about heaven and hell. For me, Im enjoying the discourse, I could talk/listen to it all day.

All those knocking Christ, think they dont sin-or in lamen terms, they dont do wrong. Trying to be good still doesnt get you 100%, if you want to be rationale. It really is logical if you read up a bit. I think freedom of speech is important, this is what this photo portrays. I also think that a church is important, because that's where people who believe in Christ can congregate. It's the next step after you study, in case you were interested-which it seems like cause you really seem to be searching for a meaning for Christians, when you let everyone know that you can walk past and let people have freedom of speech.

Yeah yeah pull the family line, like as if a few more years at home until you arent able to have kids is really gonna make a difference. Us Australians know how much you like the lime-light. Anything goes. Now Nicole, you wouldnt happen to be thinking about getting political with family connections that lead you on about freedom of expression, and barbaric history? Too much going on behind your families closed doors; stay in Nashville, stay happy. Have another baby! By stating that you could seem masochistic, doesnt let you get off the hook, you definitely are with the moves you are making.

well i havent heard the trucks or of bdl, but i think them talking about Jesus is needed, because there is too many so-called Christian Japanese, that often mistake the Holy Spirit for some weed-like nature proverbs; they turn into locusts, which highly resemble the police and the sogogakkai

I think it is good that a Japanese Christian is talking about Jesus. There is no way Judaism would work for Japan, or anywhere else I guess. Repent Japan, and sincerely take Christ into your heart. And the full meaning of this season.

Yes well if I dont think my kids should, I also dont think parents who drive them should either. Its like saying in your housing regualtions, you have to have a door, or stairways a certain size. Its my private space, and I dont think the police or the government should step in. I think the Japanese government strongly believes this too. The hardest thing at this point is that of 2 lifestyles melding into one. Both parties need to be aware of their environment and not get too stubborn about their ideals. But while there is so musch dissent towards other parents, I believe my opinion has a place.

Scare tactics anyone? Exactly I said it. When the roads are widened the pace goes up because of traffic passing through the community. It really is to do more with urban issues and population distribution-so are you talking about a community of Japan or business based lifestyle roads? Otherwise you dont scare me. Though I wont drop as low to call everyone an idiot, the roughed out percentage of sensible drivers could be true-but has zilch to do with carseats. Sensibility is arbitrary wherever you are and whatever youre doing, and really you just have everybody pointing fingers at everybody else.

Go Japan! Stay tough on this one, enjoy your car ride. It is lifestyle, and has not much to do with safety. Some want to say it is dangerous to not have a -what they call- a safety seat. Raving on about car-seats for a distance travelled of less than 2kilometres to your local school, and with road speeds set at 40k, the lifestyle is a lot slower than western styled lifestyles. Im not saying accidents dont happen, though it is rare at this sort of pace, and even with one-laned roads. Car seats are just a ploy to keep you spending-they always update the seats to a new style because the older style was deemed in-efficient. So like what! Youve been using a seat that really wasnt what it was meant to be in the first place....Japan needs to stay tough on this one, so those lucid building companies dont take-over with their type of lifestyle -Australia on the otherhand needs more delivery services :) Doesnt it highlight that Japan is good at stipulating a child is the parents' responsibility. I think this is a positive aspect of Japan. I think the drivers pay attention to their child. How much attention are you gaijins paying to the road and Your car when youre looking at everybody else, huh. Figure since your kids are strapped in you can just follow the road rules and you'll be right. No room to allow the old lady walking along the road; and would make you in your car slow down and go around her, maybe even having to wait for on-coming traffic coming the other way to pass first, and then going around the walking pedestrian, or would you follow the road rules and wipe her out cause she isnt following the rules, just using the road. Or maybe a better word would be path. Id say those hooting the child seat wagon are the ones with blinders on.

So Assange is Australian, the US technically cant do a thing. So lets hope he is as smart as he thinks he is, empower him, so that he can help those who are really trembling in America. The vision of a pure life that America set out on is too much to loose. Im all for American pie, and more.

If you are somewhat read-up on dreams, and have experience in relationships, being able to read or interpret dreams or add words for dreams can be easy. People who find dream reading useful, find the words that are given for dreams are often something they cant pull out of themself. Nightmares, alike. The turn from victim to assailant. Other types of dreams wont be spoken about easily and can be pre-cognitive; but despite accuracy are usually meant for the dreamer and for a mind-set to have weight on their decisions; ime. So some bearing, like any other words or experiences you encounter.

I would say the dismal situation occurs when, if you're a foreigner, your government closes in on you, to get your contacts, despite just doing an honest days work. Then proceeds to not give back your address book, nor do anything about the implications they made about 'laundering money'. If you make a good contact it is dismal cause you learn the government is no better.
