Indians respect all life and feel they are all equal according to the Creator. But it seems that in our society that pets/animals are throwaways and if we don't like their behavior or tired of them then they are thrown out or destroyed.

So here is the story, my friend married a girl who does not celebrate christmas, but they are having a "get together" tonight. Would it be taboo, to bring a "Festivus pole" as a joke? I think it is funny, but dont want to offend anybody. She is a Jehovah's witness, but festivus is more of a joke than anything right???

once u cut their income source, then they have no way to survive here & would leave on their own, back to where they came from. I'm tired of seen them hanging around my street corner, drinking, grabing their crotches to every girl that passes by, playing their loud horrible music, littering my street, peeing behind my house, ....I COULD GO ON & ON !!!

Just what is it that prevents radical conservatives from seeing the truth about this whacked out administration and how much they are hurting America. It just blows my mind the contempt that this administration has for America. What is up with this blind, hyptnotic following.....very disturbing behavior.

As a person with religious beliefs and values and principals and character; the person that I am goes everywhere I go.

If God compels me to be honest and kind and compassionate; how do I leave that at home when I go to the Congress or Parlement? Should I forget what God commanded me to be and do? Do I become a liar, a deceiver, cruel, and rude because I have to leave my religion at home. People who do not have an Eternal world view are often attacked by people who have a temporary (temporal-secular) world view. They do not realize that they are taking their belief system to work or to political debates just as much as the one person they are accusing of bringing their religious beliefs with them. It's a double standard and hypocritical, don't you think?

Evil is not powerful enough to destroy us. So it gets in our
hearts and minds and makes us angry, so we will destroy
ourselves!
