Is it not the fault of historically white organizations that sought to exclude blacks and other minorities from participating, joining, working for, etc? Would there be no need for Affirmative Action had these white organizations not created the need?
What are your thoughts?

some people describe the body like unto a prison and to be resurrected in a body is not to be Free. therefore they believe that ascension is a greater hope. some people teach that jesus was resurrected NOT in a body but in the spirit, that he ascended to God not in body but in spirit.
can you defend the belief of either ?
whe jesus appeared to his disciples he said fear not, a spirit hath not a body of flesh and bone. paul said flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God but Jesus also invited his disciples to FEEL and SEE the wounds in his hands and feet.
Truly He must have been resurrected in a Body, paul describes a resurrected body as being incorruptible. Such a body can only be a temple, not a prison.
What do you say?

Could someone point me towards some good research regarding whether going vegetarian will help lower blood pressure? Or could someone share their personal experience? My blood pressure is dangerously high, and since I am starting to like meat less and less anyway, I think it would be a good option for me to maybe go all veggie. Thanks!

If a man commits murder, he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, despite lame excuses. Murderers like Mary Winkler and serial killers like Andrea Yates just have to claim some looniness and get off with light sentences. Then they go on Oprah Winfrey and go boo-hooing about being victims. Justice apparently isn't blind, it is massively sexist against men.

I got a thin shard of glass in my finger. It went in through the tip straight up and down, like a needle for example. There is still a peice of glass in my finger. It's really thin but maybe half a cm long. Theres nothing sticking out to get ahold of like a splinter. It broke off down in. My question is will it work it"s way out on it's own? I have insurance but I hate to go to the doctor and have the co pay for a "splinter" but what if the skin heals over it and it doesn't work it's way out? I can feel it in there when I touch my finger or bump it on something. Anyone ever have this happen? Will my body eventually eject it somehow?

I think equality is completely false, some people are simply better than others. In one case you have a vegetable, no latent idiot-savant talents in the shadows. How does this person compete with you in terms of equality...they have a large does of ignorance is bliss I suppose. If anything I see people as anything but equal...

and why?
I'd have to say mine was Hank Jr. If not for him and his life style away from the spot light, I wouldnt love living out in the country as i do now. Even though we don't have curb service we still have the fresh air, open land, and beautiful smog free scenery, you can stand on top of a hill and see for miles. How many people in the city can say that?

I've asked two questions to get to the bottom of this and I'm getting back the same self-contradictory answers from many people.

Ultimately, is god omniscient? That is, does he know all things at all times and what each of us will do and when?

Or do we have free will? Because if we can make choices over which god has no control, then god is not omniscient. You can't be a bit omniscient, like you can't be a bit pregnant or a bit dead. You either are or you aren't.

But if god IS omniscient, then all our decisions are HIS responsibility. Our transgressions were known to him at the beginning of time, and thus so was where we spend eternity. This means that in some cases we might as well not have been born - God had tied up our fates long ago. The sickest of serial killers was always part of god's plan. We cannot choose.

Help me guys. We cannot have both an omniscient god and free will. We just can't. Which are you willing to give up? Can you explain it to all of us?

An Amish family went to the shopping mall for the first time.

It was a wife, husband, and their son.

Well the wife wandered off (like always) to the admiring the never before seen outlets while the guys walked down the opposite corridor doing the same.

The husband and his son walked by an elevator and of course did not know what it was.

All they saw the doors opening and people coming out and others walking in.

They saw a old gray hair lady go in the elevator then the doors closed then when it opened a hot blonde walked out!

They saw it again but this time they saw a old woman go in the elevator and a really good looking hot latina walked right out!

They were amazed and were clueless about what they were looking at!

The son turned to his father and asked, "dad that's amazing, how is that happening? How is that possible?"

The father replied by saying, "I have no idea son, but quick go get your mom!"

The heteros don't seem to be making much progress in their attempt to preserve the sancity of their sacred marriages so I'd like to propose new legislation to help them.

1. Heteros who marry will be registered with local police and they will be placed on probation for a period of 7 years. If during that time they do not violate their vows they can be released from probation and can join the ranks of "officially" married.

2. During the probation period Heteros cannot collect any local, state or federal taxes or benefits and they must attend "How To Preserve Our Sancity" work shops and seminars at least 1 hour per week. (In the evening when American Idol is on)

3. If a hetero "officially married " couple wishes to mate and produce little rug rats, they must pass The State Beauty Bar to ensure they are fit, trim and pleasing to the eye, otherwise they will be surgically sterilized.

The above is just a few points of my proposed legislation.

What's your opinion so far?

In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. The bartender is momentarily distracted and does not see the mug, which slides off the counter and strikes the floor 0.60 m from the base of the counter. The height of the counter is 0.900 m.

(a) With what velocity did the mug leave the counter?

(b) What was the direction of the mug's velocity just before it hit the floor? (below the horizontal)
