You really find out how racist, stereotypical, immature, close-minded, and ignorant people are. It amazes me…You never really know someones true colors...and these are every day people you run into on the streets. What do you think?

Pretend you are a 'freedom fighter' AKA terorist. You have one goal, serve your country and your god the best way you know how. (your countries goal is intertwined with your religion)You KNOW (sry, don't answer as you won't believe this, you have already been brainwashed) if you are killed by the superior American force that you will immediately be sent to some sort of heaven that has 72 virgins or w/e. . You come to a rooftop with your SVD and spot an American patrol in the range of your sniper. You know if you fire the american 50 cal, being at a good angle to fire but not to fire on, will immediately rip apart the rooftop you are on and kill you. What do you do if you are a terrorist with these firm religous beliefs? without? If you think about it , what a good way to get people to fight blindly for you....religion. Makes me wonder why the bible or religion period was ever used...hmmmm.

Some kids at my school have recently began pitting the handicapped students against in each other in cruel war-like games. We are in summer school so there is less supervision. They will do things like getting the students really excited then guiding them on how to throw their feces on each other. Is this wrong? Or is this how you are supposed to treat people who are different?

White hires white especially when socializing is required at work. Just look at who eats lunch with who. White concregates with whites at a social level. White work with colored because it is required at work, white socialize with white because it is preference as oppose to a requirement. Grades don't mattter, it is social factors. The result is still racial exclusion of opportunities for colored people. Grades don't matter, color of skin does. A White truth, unwilling to admit by whities.

A place where the presence and power of the holy spirit is known.Gods glory manifested! A place where God revealing himself is the norm. Tired of finding those churhes where the opposite is the norm. A place that is geared towards helping one to really KNOW HIM.

Recently scientists dissected a T-Rex bone and found soft tissues and even what seems to be red blood cells (see http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7195). What are the implications of this? Can such things last 65 million years, honestly and realistically speaking? Does it call the "millions of years" idea into question? Why or why not?

some people tell me I should call myself black. ok what if I call myself blackandwhite. will it make sense. I don't want anyone to call me either black or white. I don't want the society to deny any of my blood. I have both and I want both to be recognised by the society. I went for my passport and the ask me to put black. it's unfair and i think it's brings back the racism mentality. based on my parents how would you call me. why when people have even 5% black in their blood you call them black? please explain

Life is difficult. We all know it. No one is perfect. It seems as though we all suffer more than experience true peace. Why is it so hard to make spirituality a true way of life rather than putting it on the back burner as a simple hobby that we read about? What is more important than the questions of life? To me nothing. Is everything (TV, movies, friends, drinking, drama) just a distraction from what our true purpose is?

I would love to hear what you have to say, only serious answers please...
