    my friend i experiance it all in the australia...

    :DOMG! I know exactly what you mean Magnoona. I've been with the smae class for 5 years now and they still think that Egypt consists of only dirt. They're always wondering if we have cars, and if we have houses made of sand. They don't understand how we play sports on nothing but sand. And the cross thing. OMG!! I got like millions of billions of trillions of questions on it. At least now they know I'm not Muslim. Well at least the girls know that. Actually they think Orthodoxy is pretty brutal because of all the fasting we have to do. The guys think our idea of fun is climbing pyraminds. It's soo funny. The teachers are pretty cool though. I mean they understand the fact that I'm Christian and know my holidays. But the kids, wow, the tatoo thing got me a lot of questions. After 5 years some still like to ask. ???

    God Bless Guys!

    wow u guys r soo lucky i feel so deprived, ive alwaz wanted a cross on my hand eva since i was a kid, not for fashsion purposes but just as not only a sign of my belief as ppl think that all egyptians here are muslims, but to have a cross on ur hand in everything u write, eg. EXAMZ, contracts, and i just really like the idea, howeva i feel like today its lost its significants...
  • Magnoona4lyfMagnoona4lyf
    Its ok guys, just because u dont have a tatto doesnt make u any less of those who do have it....trust me, a lot of orthodox ppl have it but they don't kno the meaning of it or even portray their religion. Its better not to have one and walk in the way of Christ than to have one and walk in the way of Evil. Mwah :-*!

    GOD BLESS ALL!
  • G.J.IG.J.I
    wow words of wisdom!!

  • Unknown
    um..The U.S. is huge, so "there" does not mean anything to me, cuz in alot of places it snows, just not where I am. And I'm glad u feel better
  • Magnoona4lyfMagnoona4lyf
    Snow? Oh wow, I'm sorry to say I cant help u out here :( but u kno u shouldnt feel so bad bcua although snow so so beatiful to look at, its sometimes real harmful....lyk wen it snows real hard which is a lot of the time, skewl gets closed and we have 2 make the days up in the end of the year, sum people get stuck in their homes for days, sum cars get buried and die, and wen the snow melts, 4get it....its so bad that sum places even flood in jersey....so c, dont feel too bad...it might be pretty, but not that pretty, lolx

    GOD BLESS ALL! :-*
  • G.J.IG.J.I

  • sherrymikhail04sherrymikhail04
    heyy great stuf matt
    so do u lik shuuvvv in som snow wen u hungry???
    wow interesting mann
    ok ill come and c 4 mi self one day.....
  • NotOfThisWorldNotOfThisWorld
    Well, I love snow, but it does get annoying sometimes, because the days we get off from school are added to the end of the year, which sucks. And because of snow a lot of people get in accidents, you don't even understand how many. So although it's really fun to play with, it's also very harmful. You'll get sick of it at one point. Oh by the way, snow tastes really good to me. Well it tastes like water , but when you put like jello powder on it, it tastes soo good. Don't worry though you're not missing much, you can always buy a slushy or play with water oin the summer, but you can't get back a life you lost because of snow. Just think of it that way.

    Buh byez ;D!!!!
  • mmatt95mmatt95
    lol, it really isnt good stuff if ur hungry, more when ur thirsty, but when the weather is soo cold that snow falls, ur probably more concerned with drinking something that could warm u up instead of freeze u even more...but ur more than welcome to come and try it ;D
  • sherrymikhail04sherrymikhail04
    coool im fascinated mann and thanks 4 those tips ;)
    but dont u all lik skool ..i onli lik it if im in a good normal mood coz wen u get 2 holidais there aint nutin 2 do but wait 4 skool...
  • HelioHelio
    Well I'm from Southern California and i have encountered some really ignorant and racist ppl (this is more as you go inland like Barstow and Bakersfield) but if you are more the coast like anywhere from the Orange County (O.C.) to Riverside its very easy.
    You explain you are Christian and then you try to explain about being Coptic. They dont always catch all the Coptic Orthodox stuff and you might have to use comparisons with the Russian and Greek Orthodox Churches which are much more prominent around her. But still they understand that you are not muslim and that you believe in Christ.
    I have really not had problems once i talked to the person.
  • mmatt95mmatt95
    Dont get me started about people who don't understand i'm a Christian. Seriously, there's people i know for years now, who still think when i start a fast, its Ramadam lol, even if it's like in the middle of the summer. Ignorance...sigh, what can we do about it :-\
  • mmatt95mmatt95
    and oh yeah, Helio, welcome to this site, this was ur first post ;)
  • Unknown
    Yeah, welcome Helio. :D By the way, is your name short for Heliopolis or is that just a coincidence?
  • Magnoona4lyfMagnoona4lyf
    yea acually snow has its bad effects, but its all good....and to be honest I hate it wen they close the skewls bcuz we end up making them @ the end of the yr which takes up more time from our summer, so sometimes its a load!


    GOD BLESS ALL! :-*
  • G.J.IG.J.I

    Lol. Sorry to go off the topic of going off topic, but I had a question and I didn't want to open a new thread for it. Someone asked me if it was wrong to name your child Jesus and I didn't know the answer, does anyone know if it is or not?

    Can you touch snow with your hands or is it as cold as liquid nitrogen?
  • Magnoona4lyfMagnoona4lyf
    i have no idea in the world wut liquid nitrogen is (i'm stoopid and I'm aloud bcuz skewl didnt start yet) but yes u can touch snow with your hands, but sometimes if ur not wearing a glove and u just hold it for a long time u mite get frost bitten....


    o and y is it bad 2 name a kid jesus? I kno a lot of spanish ppl named jesus....and i feel weird calling their names ....but yeah y is it bad, ??

    GOD BLESS ALL! :-*
