Society & Culture - 31 July 2006

In order to promote diversity (or not), I'm thinking of setting up vacations for white families in American ghettos where you will spend the week in an actual ghetto household with a ghetto family. This will allow your family to learn the ghetto culture and see a different way of life. The proposed cost for me setting up all of the accomodations will be $2,000, a little bit more than the cost for your family to go to Disney World or Disneyland, but this will be no normal vacation. I have four destinations planned: Compton (South Central L.A.); Chicago (southside); Detroit (8 mile); and the South Bronx (Fort Apache). I cannot guarantee separate rooms, so you will have to bring sleeping bags. Other than that, I got it covered. Your stay will include one excellent barbeque. Otherwise, meals are not included. You will get to see at least one crime perpetrated as well (maybe even a drive-by). Please let me know if your family has any interest. Thank you. "HOLLA VACATIONS."

I don't want to admit this but I'm afraid of leaving the house alone. When I was younger I had no problem. I would leave alone and not even care. Now I'm afraid to even hit the back porch unless no one else is out there. I'm 16 now and I shouldn't be going through this.

I live in a bad neighborhood. Mainly hustlers and people with bad intentions. I've lived in bad neighborhoods all my life but now I don't know why I can't leave the house.

The Bible is a nearly impenetrable compilation of 2000 years' worth of mythology, poetry, inspired ranting, history, pseudohistory, ethnic propaganda, wisdom literature, eroticism, apocalyptic, etc. Telling a nonbeliever to "read the Bible" is about the most moronic thing you could possibly do. In fact, it's fairly obvious to me that anyone remotely familiar with the texts would never suggest such a thing. I'd say "read it yourself, and decide how you would react as an unbeliever if you saw some of this cr*p for the first time." And to every frikkin' question, some nutjob has to say "read the Bible." Argh!

I asked a question a while back about Christianty and other religions loosing its rights( no prayer in schools, Ten Commandments being taken down from the Supreme Court steps..ect.) and how it takes one person to day something about a religion and ur not allowed to do it. But when ur gay u have people to fight u and fight the issuse. But thats not my question. Some people said becuz it is the separation of church and state. If thats true then the why are gays fighting to get married when marriage belong to the church? Can't they just be happy having a union in the court house?And if marriage doesn't belong to the church then why is it done by a preacher or some man of God and why are most done in a church?

I'll give you my word to read a book you recommend, if you give me your word to read a book I recommend. And we'll email in a month to confirm. Serious philosophy, not pansy cr*p. I'll choose the winner based on the book you'll tell me to read. (I'll make you read Hans Kung's "Does God Exist?")

Religion starts wars and makes people crazy. Most religions think women are objects. Slaves and tortured animals are comom in religion, religion makes people hate. it's all so evil. I think the world would be better off with no religion at all.

Society sees gay and lesbians as another cultural groups to be recognized and honored. It will soon be a regular occurance to have Gay appreciation days and gay guess speakers and rainbow decorations and what not.

How do you feel about it?

Should schools stay neutral on gay issues or take a firm pro-gay stance to teach acceptance and embracement of the lifestyle.
