shoots Nuns in the back (bet she was armed,right), burn churches (now that is so peaceful), Muslims say. "oh, the extremists are the minority of the muslim peopel (hmm, well, they dont seem to burn mosques because the "majority" of muslims are not true to there beliefs), well, I dont know, they throw names like hitler and stalin around like bubble gum but all I see are the extremists in the middle eastern news and the wests news killing innocents and not caring because its what there heathen god says is done by their faithful believers they have golden promises, but all cults have their golden apple to believe in, but no true religion puts death as a instruction towards peace.....decades ago they burned "witches" because they were afraid, I guess the muslim god is afraid people will learn the truth and burn them first.....who knows, all I know is hate does not solve anything it just creates greater problems....

Like the mexican-american on Cristina this evening that says he relates to anglos (his term, not mine) more than latinos. He is 100% anti-illegal immigrant.

I don't know what to do... I don't even know where to ask this question...

My dad has always been emotionally/verbal abusive and sometimes physical. My mom is in denial. I'm 20 yrs old, going to college. I live at home; in about a year I will leave. I have 2 younger siblings. I’m afraid that my dad will destroy them mentally.

I don’t like what it has done to me…I’m a bit suicidal and I cut myself at times, this summer I stopped eating and didn’t sleep for days, on and off for weeks. I’ve suffered from panic attacks. My mom doesn’t know any of this… nor does she want to see. My family has always leaned on me.

I don’t know what I should do. If I try to turn in my dad, how should I go about it…? If I do that… my mom would disown me… But I’m afraid for my siblings. I won’t be there in a year and right now, I can’t help them because I’m slipping in depression... They could be so much happier; they don’t have to live in fear…

I just want to know what you think will happen if some Islamofacist scum hit the US with any form of nuclear weaponary. And I don't want to hear the it will never happen crap. The only reason I ask this is because it has been talked about by Michael Savage on his show recently with some guy who wrote a book on it.

Please don't push your political agenda here, I'm just curious if people think it goes too far, or all is fair in love and film festivals?

The Chick Fighter Pilot Association is a new presence on the web: the web page went up at the end of June http://www.fighterchicks.com/
Here is an excerpt from the Welcome page:
Welcome to Fighterchicks.com, Home of the Chick Fighter Pilot and CFPA.
This page was started on June 30th, 2006 by a group of female F-16
pilots from Luke Air Force Base in Arizona. The bright idea came about
after roughly 4-5 bottles of wine and many, many shots. This is not an
official website and as it develops, we will make no guarantees or
promises that you won't be offended. If you don't like it, then see
ya.
To join CFPA, you have to qualify. The criteria include 1) you must be
a chick and 2) you must fly fighters.

3 levels of development

There were not always three levels of economic development. At one time it was divided into the Eastern bloc and the Western bloc. After World War II, people started using the terms "First World" and "Second World", but with so many gray areas another designation was needed. In the 1950's the specification of "Third World" was added. Even now, with so many countries that lie somewhere in the middle, these are the three levels still in use.

The “First World” countries are the countries that are the most industrialized. This would include a GDP per capita greater than $15,000, or higher. There are fewer “First World” countries as compared to “Second World”, due to the higher requirements needed referred to as a “First World” country. First world countries are in North America, Western Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.

I'm Canadian. For example, why not open the border to Canadian workers? With 12 million illegals in the U.S., very few of who are Canadian, it might be the only fair thing to do anyways?
I mean Canada and the U.S. were united under the British, and without the Revolution, the British naturally would have included Canada in the U.S.

This question is for Americans only. Are you more worried about Mexicans crossing the border and taking low paying jobs, or about suicide Muslims coming to the country to learn how to drive a plane in Florida? I am more worried about the latter...

don't make fun, I used number because there was no enough space to type it all.I hope everyone that will read my question is an open-minded and an educated person. and I'm really feeling comfortable for being anonymous in this website so that I or any member of my family woundn't get hurt, but even though I'm still a little afraid of asking this question because I know I'll get lots of threatening messages and stuff like that.ok I'll get to my question.I'm a muslim and I want to change my religion,I've never been convinced in my religion,I'm just muslim because my parents are,that's it.I want to become a theist,the real meaning of theist is believing in one or more gods and it's not necessary that you belong to a particular religion.that's what I've learned about theism,but even if that is not the real definision of theism I still want to change my religion,I want to have no particular religion,I just want to believe in god and I want to know what I should do in order to do that.

How dare the Pope reference a quote which makes muslims seem violent! This is Jihad! Who else here believes that the right thing to do is to become violent and destructive! After all, Islam is a peaceful religeon, and anyone who suggests otherwise must pay dearly! Violence is the logical way to convince others of our non-violent nature, right?
