One that focuses on unacceptable hateful and bigoted behavior (instead of fear which phobia implies).

Would there be a political and social benefit by being clearer about the real problem? If so, what word would you like?

I'm just wanting to know the significance of the olive tree or olive branch or symbol of it in the Bible. Why do you think God uses the Olive tree as opposed to say...an apple tree?

Why has God not performed any new miracles.
Surely if God produced a few now and then, he might convince the likes of me that he exists?

I certainly don't mean to. Jesus taught a simple message of Love. Unfortunately it got dressed up in religion by those who failed to understand his message, and here we are with Christian soldiers killing people around the world, while Christians polluting the planet till it will no longer sustain life.

I am sincerely, seriously trying to figure out what went wrong. What is it in the human psyche that has to pervert a simple message of Love till it looks a lot more like Global Domination and Wreckage.

I appreciate feedback (and best answer to the one who teaches me the most on this topic).

Thanks.

Could the "prison industry" be viewed as a social program of sorts for the economically disadvantaged areas where the government places them. Afterall, they do employ people and require intensive services like food, laundry supplies etc.

My bf (English) and I (Taiwanese) are getting engaged in the UK. I am currently on a student visa. After we get engaged, do I have to apply for a different type of visa? If so, to which Home Office (in the UK or in Taiwan) should I apply for the visa? We have checked UK home office website, but cannot find relevant info.
I'd appreciate if someone can help. Thanks a lot!

I am not happy with my country at all. I probably feel the same way most people do about America and Americans. We say we are a free country, but we have so many laws we can hardly do anything without breaking one. I'm curious what you think.
