I saw a political debate programme on TV years ago and they started to talk about the St Georges flag. This black politician said that the St Georges flag should be banned because he has always associated it with racism. His comments annoyed me that much that I have never forgotten about it.

During the last world cup, a passing policeman asked me to take my flag out of my window because it may upset the local ethnic minorities.

Also, my friend is now a policeman, and in the canteen at the station where he is based, they are not allowed to ask for black or white coffee. They have to say coffee, with or without milk!

Is any of this right? I would love to know the opinions of ethnic minorities living in england...... and of course, what do the other white english people think. Is the St Georges flag really offensive? Or like me, do you think we are going to far with political correctness?!

Nothing has happened between us, we've only talked and not even inappropriately. I find myself thinking of her all of the time. Should I discuss this with her? Should I discuss this with my wife or ignore it and hope that it goes away... I am horribly confused.

Mat 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the SON OF MAN be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

All the adult like sex but the morality obliges to say it's bad, why? Only in Sodom & Gomorrha all the people is free to have fun?

"The Kansas Board of Education has approved a ban on all Pokémon trading cards, video games, and anything related that has the name Pokémon on it because of the belief that it promotes kids to believing in evolution. Teachers now must search their students daily to make sure they aren't carrying anything with the name on it. Anything found will be permanently confiscated, that means you don't get your game back Jack. On top of all of this, if you dare do something as evil as bring a Pokémon video game to school they have the right to suspend you or even expel you if you repeat this crime."

This is what happens when you allow religion to take over public schools, nothing but stupidity.

In my dream, I step off a ledge and my foot lands next to a snake I didn't notice earlier. It stirs and I'm frightened so I try to get away from it, but I cant seem to move fast enough. The snake catches up with me, and bits my calf, but it has no teeth and it doesnt hurt when I'm bitten. I keep moving away, and when I turn to look at it, it seems to have devoured my foot. I panick, but pull my foot out from its mouth easily. I'm not afraid anymore, and the snake seems harmless without its bite. And it's eyes don't seem menacing. It looks at me, as it was playing. I finally get up and go off, it tries to catch up but doesn't manage to. I woke up with the image of the snake on my mind.

Anyone else sick to the back teeth of the "sanitised" version of Christ's death and resurrection at Easter? The most powerful 'sermon' I ever witnessed was a congregation's silence whilst a handful of hand-made six inch nails was passed around from one person to the next. Any ideas on how to reflect then celebrate appropriately, and how best to teach our children?

I am solving the series from 1 to infinity of

1 * 3 * 5 .....(2n-1)
-------------------------
1*4*7.......(3n-2)


using the ratio test of | An + 1 |
--------------
| An |

and I am getting:

(2n+1) (3n-2)
---------- X ---------
(3n+1) (2n-1)


to figure out if the series converges don't i just take the limit of what I wrote above? Is the limit 1? Show work please.

Thank you!
