Interested in thoughts as to how there can be such a stark difference between this poll & what I'm seeing IRL.

I am willing to bet that you and your friends are aged 17 - 24 and more likely to be concious of trends, appearances & fitting in with the crowd than older, wiser folk who look at price/perfomance ratios.

Submission + - Apple fined $2.5 million for false advertising (theage.com.au)

Whiney Mac Fanboy writes: "Apple has agreed to pay a $2.25 million (AUD) fine (along with 300k legal costs) to the Australian Competition & Consumer Commision for misleading advertising. Apple misrepresented their iPad product as being a '4G' device, when in fact they're only compatible with a very small percentage of 4G networks around the world. The Age online has the full story."

Isn't that using faith in God to help deal with the suffering? Sort of like saying 'it's shit now, but it'll come good in the end'.

Long answer: These verses set up a long sequence of argumentation that is fairly difficult to parse, with a few side excursions and back references to points made before. It's fairly difficult to say what these verses actually mean without simultaneously referring to every other bit that follows and their respective relations to each other, which I find somewhat reminiscent to quantum cryptography.

Short answer: Yes.

Salvation through faith in God and suffering are connected by hope. See Romans 5:

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

six years ago. *snip* I was doing an unpaid internship (not one of my better ideas, in retrospect), and they felt so guilty about not paying me that they basically paid me in stuff (also got a Droid phone and a few other little goodies).

What droid phone did you get six years ago, 1-2 years before the release of the HTC Dream (Android 1.0)?
