Force Recon

A special operations group that is a sub-divison of the united states marine corps that is similar in characteristics to Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, Air Force Combat Controllers, but complement, rather than replace the other services "special" operational forces. In cooperation with these special operations forces, the deployed Marine units (including Recon support) provide a theater commander with a range of options. Marine Recon retains a basic focus as a supporting component of the combined arms Marine Air/Ground Task Force, constantly forward-deployed in the security interests of the United States.

when my brother wanted to join the most elite group of the marine corps, he signed up for a spot in force recon.

Repton School Dubai

Repton School Dubai is the most expensive school in Dubai. It is the only boarding school in the Middle East, It will cost you a leg and your kidney to send your kids to Repton, even if they will not board. The school is a "British" school, but is full of rich Arabs who come to school in a new car everyday. The school is massive, It's the biggest in the Middle East, and looks like a medieval castle, probably why almost everybody calls it Hogwarts. Most students are rich and stupid, but there's a lot of high achievers who are quite smart and value the high standard of education the school offers; most teachers are really good but there are some that can't teach to save their lives and are annoying and stupid as shit. Students wear smart posh uniforms, including a tie, blazer, a formal white shirt, and polished black leather shoes; students are sorted into 8 different houses, and each house has a unique tie for their students to wear. The houses are as follows: Jumeirah House, Latham House, Formarke House, Brooke House, Dahl House, School House, Orchard House, and New House. Huge, influential and rich families have sent their children to Repton School Dubai, including royalty from many different countries, about a fifth of the students are boarders, and pay double the school fees just to remain at school after day hours, If you have a huge amount of money to spend, and want your child to experience luxury while at school, then Repton School Dubai would be the best choice!

Chemistry Teacher: What is an Ionic Bond?
Student (while texting on their 4 iPhones): Hold on miss I'm texting my driver to send my maids to bring me my Gucci school shoes to wear, because mine are dirty!
Chemistry Teacher: Anyone else?
Another student (while typing notes on their iPad): It's a strong electrostatic force of attraction between positively charged and metal ions and negatively charged non metal ions! Also what's the time? My Rolex watch doesn't seem to be working properly, the time on it looks wrong and I wanna know how many minutes are left till break!
Other student (while checking his Cartier watch): My watch reads 11:48! You can always rely on Cartier!
Chemistry Teacher: This is the difference between normal schools and Repton School Dubai!

Universal Reconciliation

The Christian belief that God's love is in escapaple and all will eventually be reconciled to him. Some universalists believe that there is no hell but others believe that if there is a hell it is not everlasting. Most of the early Christians believed in Universal Reconciliation pre-dating the latin vulgate. This faith for many believers has been a result in a paradigm shift in how they read the bible which tends to resolve what they formally perceived as contradictions where upon to them the Bible supports the notion fully. Believers fully love God because they do not feel like they HAVE to go through motions in fear for their mortal souls. Believers naturally love their neighbors and their enemy's as Jesus would have us do.

Some popular passages in the bible which support Universal reconciliation are:
-

- and by Him to reconcile (apokatallasso) all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. (Colossians 1:20)

1 Corinthians 15:22

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

Romans 11:32

For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.

see Universalism

Universalist: What does "(and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of ALL MEN, and especially of those who believe."- (1 Timothy 4:10) mean to you?

Athiest: I guess it means if there is a God then that means we'll all get to heaven. Universal Reconciliation.

Fundementalist: You're twisting the words around and taking the verse out of context here... All doesn't mean All.
God is only the savior of those who accept him.

Universalist: That is not what it says however and I'm sorry you don't see it that way. Someday everyone will see and know and what a wonderful day that will be.
