I found this article very scary! Remember, chipping everyone starts with the few who have no choice.

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/8/21/232558.shtml

VeriChip Corp, based in Delray Beach, Fla., and described by the D.C. Examiner as "one of the most aggressive marketers of radio frequency identification chips," is hoping to convince the Pentagon to allow them to insert the chips, known as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips under the skin of the right arms of U.S. servicemen and servicewomen to enable them to scan an arm and obtain that person’s identity and medical history. The chips would replace the legendary metal dog tags that have been worn by U.S. military personnel since 1906.

After 9-11, there seemed to be increased tension between Muslims and the other races, even here in Singapore which has enjoyed racial harmony for a long time.

Should MUIS and Muslims in Singapore do more to enable the other races to understand the very nature of Islam, and how the teachings affect the lives of our fellow Muslim friends?

I had a nightmare that i have to squeeze them out and take them by the head out because I couldn't pee. Is this some sort of demonic haunting?

I was just on the phone with a friend of mine and in the background they were having a debate about this topic. One side of the debate was arguing quite passionately that Catholicism is not true Christianity. Try to explain your answer.

After some of the posts I have seen tonight against non-believers, one of which out-right told atheists to commit suicide...others trying to find whatever proof they can that atheism and non-belief in general are what is wrong with this world...

My question is, to those prejudiced people, do you even know how much GOOD many atheists and other non believers have contributed to our world?

You want some truth of us, this video is pretty good... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdVucvo-kDU

To think that some would discredit all that some people have done that has helped us all. Things that the prejudiced people themselves have benefited from or would one day help their grandchildren. The things that many of these people have invented or discovered, they did not care what religion anyone is, they did it to help all of their people, human kind in general. They have also given their lives as troops, donated organs to save a life, helped with causes that save lives...

Hate us or not, we have many great people.

Would they deny her this "choice"?

This practice is very common in other countries, especially in China after the one child per family law was imposed on the people. As a result of many years of this, China now has too many men and not enough women to marry them. So China has made this practice of sex selection by way of abortion illegal.

However, it is still legal in many states in America to have an abortion with no questions asked, even at 9 months of pregnancy, so many are coming here from foreign countries so they can get an abortion for gender selection.

I did not know that, it's a much higher percentage than I expected.

And why are all these other religions hardly discussed around here if there's so many followers? I asked about Baha'i a few days ago, and only a handful of people knew what I was talking about.

To get Christians won over to atheism?

Or to create a united front, consisting of Americans of ALL philosophical bents, against the Trotskyite neoconservatives (largely atheists, but not YOUR kind of atheists, of course) who have duped American evangelicals into buying into their "support Israel in ANY case" philosophy?

I know these people. Heels are going to be dug in harder if you aren't wise in how you present your anti-war argument.
