Society & Culture - 24 June 2006

While searching something I came across articles on white men and Black women. Out and about I see more Black men with white women. Near twenty two to one for each white male/Black female couple.

I wonder why is that? In the Black community I live in there is the the thought Black women/white man, has its roots in slavery. When the massa got tired of his wife because was too old, pregnant, saggy from kids etc, he'd just sneak over to the slave quarters, find him a young fresh one to rape. Why didn't that apply to the Black men choosing the white women? Having the white women, the Black man not only had what the white man has but has taken away from him Also there was the thought, that Black men and women bonded like they do, because they were both treated as second class citizens in a society that was runned mainly by rich caucasian men.

Intelligent thoughts with open-minds, not at pointing fingers at who is a racist and who is more noble earns 10 points.

All you fearful gay-bashers out there....
....let's say you are 100% correct on all your assessments on homosexuality.

You are right! You are correct!

Do you win something?
What's your payoff?
Seems it would only support your fear....which is probably not a good thing.

The pentagon has recently listed homosexuality as a 'mental disorder' to be on the lines of mental retardation. The debate about homosexuality being a mental disorder has been fought for years.

Did those with Saul/Paul at his conversion hear a voice?

ACT 9:7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

I' mix, not very dark,, but i'm not white at all. Although my father is really like white and his father was too, his brothers are not white they are moreno, although sisters are a bit light skin. It's so confusing.. I'm not white like my father because my mother is darker. So anyways, I know many mexicans are mixed , Im mixed . Father from Jalisco are, mother from Durango area. Is it possible to know if you had anything to do with Mayas, or Aztecs, or which tribe. .. and also, how would you find which Spaniard was in your family Mix.. or if you have some distant relatives in spain. it's interesting, i just thought about this question.

Does being rejected by someone bother or annoy you in any way?

We all know someone who is constantly rejecting people with their "No thank you, that's O.K." attitude toward others. Do you find them to be humorous, annoying, frustrating, sad, etc.?

How do you respond?...

Israel, a tiny middle eastern country with few allies, surrounded by enemies, and home to a population of discontented, and extremist, muslims who want them wiped off the map, was created, survived three large-scale wars against multiple enemies, and a fifty year terrorist siege, almost devoid of outside help. Does this point to devine intervention, or are they just that good/lucky at survival?

as it was in hitler's army and stalin's awful crew
Hiroshima,Nagasaki, and Pearl Harbor too
acroos the sweep of history- there's a truth they never tell
There's more horror in obedience than there'd be if we'd rebel

so when they speak to you of glory,and colors bright and true
and using words like "good and evil" say it all comed down to you
when they offer you a weapon and send you out into the fray
don't obey ,don't obey

I think there are fake atheists and "real" atheists (tolerant).

In my view, to the affirmation "God does exist.",

- a fake atheist replies: "No, God does not exist.". So this fake atheist is a believer too: he/she believes in the non-existence of God, so he/she actually resonates with the concept of "God" but in a different way;

- a real atheist replies: "Well, I don't feel the need to wonder about the existence or the non-existence of God. I have no opinion about your affirmation. I can only acknowledge your religious belief without judging it :-)"

So: are you a tolerant atheist yourself?

God is Good. Satan is Good at being Evil. God is great. Satan is great at being Evil. Why are they matched so closely that they sometimes appear to be the same one. It's almost like God turns into Satan to test us. But the testing is so stupid. Why test??? Who cares who is better or best?
