    The Vatican doesn't even have as much money as minor movie studio

    [Citation needed]

    How about the morals of big hollywood making billions of dollars throwing poor people in jail for copying a movie or a song

    Not defending that it's right by me, or the general population, but they don't ooze rubbish about benevolence, and treating one's brother as you wish to be treated and all the rest. Hollywood is a corporation that's out to make money. That's what they claim to be. The church claims to be the representative of god on Earth.

    Now tell me this,
    If god is so good, then why do his peoples,
    Place lightning rods atop of their steeples?

    Taking away our believes, in a better life afterwards, makes people lose hope for this live, losing the moral, making humankind do all kind of bad things, making live for themselves or for others unlivable.

    It also takes away the power of people like the Vatican screwing over the poor for larger cathedrals, and more power of more people. Ever wondered what makes it right for a poor family in Phillipines giving their last Pesos to the church to bury a family member, whilst the Pope sits in a palace that dwarfs any king's palace. Now that's morals for you.

  15. Re:Call the boss on Best Way To Land Entry-Level Job? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The best tip I can give you is to make personal contact. Every time you send a resume in somewhere, follow it up with a phone call, and ask whether the relevant person has received your resume. Then, since you already have them on the phone, give them a thirty second spiel about why you would be good for the job. If you have no experience in the area, cite a high level of interest and enthusiasm.

    It still boggles the mind how we receive null and void experience resume's from guys that seem more jaded than people with 10 years in the field. If you don't show a positive as to why a company should hire you, guess where your resume will be filed? Right in the circular filing cabinet.

    I actually think this is a good idea. Gives the user something physical to insert, that way they understand it. It also reduces the number of variables in the transaction process.

    Hence, if you're too lazy, don't have the knowledge or it isn't economically viable to get someone in that can secure and configure your computer system, this seems like a sane alternative that makes it a bit harder for a black hat to come in and pillage your account.
