okay is it bad that I'm closer with the hispanic/latino culture other than my own Nigerian culture? I listen to hispanic/latino music a lot & i love learning about their culture far more than my own. My most of my friends are hispanic/latinos. All the guys i like are hispanics/latinos. I feel more comfortable with hispanic/latinos than blacks. I love being Nigerian & have plenty of Nigerian friends.

"He who abuses his abuser is the worse of the two. To refrain from retaliation is to win a battle hard to win. If one knows that the other person is angry but refrains from anger oneself, one does what is best for oneself and the other person also. One is a healer of both"

Thank you for your thoughts

So far almost all the questions/answers I have read seem to have some American correcting an english spelling for a word. You don't see the rest of the world doing that so why oh why do the Americans!

I recently moved into a new house with my wife and I met a local neighbor man. I came home from work one day and saw that man running through my backyard, my wife said that he recently died but she saw him too, it must have been a ghost! Then I saw him in my bedroom while my wife was sleeping! Then I saw him in the basement and my wife said to stay upstairs while she held a seance. She came up two hours later, all disheaveled, and said it didn't work. Next I saw him online at the local home depot. And finally he was standing outside my yard, my wife said she had a new voodoo spell that might work but she would have to escort the ghost to the grave yard. It took several hours and when she got home she was filthy, but she said it didn't work. I don't know what to do! How can I get rid of this ghostly man and get back my peace of mind. Are there any paranormal experts out there?

I wouldn't bother asking a bunch of strangers if I wasn't in deep **** or really desperate I'm 15 and iv had this friend (16) since i moved to this little crap town when i was 8 i would tell you the name of it but you'd probably say where? in small towns were all really tight and we were like the brother and sister type until i lost my virginity with him now where not like the brother sister relationship anymore so im not going to listen to anyone who tells me to give up on him it started when his mom died of cancer when he was 9 and his dad got into alcohol which didn't help anything when i was about 10 anyone with common sense could tell something was a little ****** up in that house but cause i was ten i was scared and i didn't want to know because it was so much easier to pretend that everything was fine with him than the marks got deeper and wider and i still avoided it he knew i knew about it but he didn't want me to say anything last night was when i couldn't avoid anything anymore we had a party at his house and things got broke like at all parties but i know that he really got it cause the alcohol was gone i knew he was going to get into trouble but i didn't know he was going to be in the emergency room his dad said he fell down the stairs you can tell his dad said that only a drunk man would say that when corey had marks from a metal pole and a belt falling down the stairs doesn't do that to you but the hospital looked past it because his dad was the one that called the ambulance when we got older he would stay at everyone else's house so he wouldn't get hit but he was drunk when his dad hit him and he couldn't really go anywhere far i figured everything was okay because he wasn't ever home and he would always fight back so 6 years later i finally ask him about it but i didn't really want to hear his sober answer he was always somehow more honest when he was drunk i told him that he has to go live somewhere else that didn't make him to happy because he had big plans and that would **** it up for him so started he screaming and yelling nothing new the worst thing i couldve said to him was corey your just like your ******* dad and he hit me that was the only time i swear but he is becoming his dad drunk and abusive he's so much more than his dad he's got goals and he's really funny and athletic and he's finally breaking down there's only so much one person can deal with i told him it was okay when he hit me but he was the one that freaked got in his car and drove somewhere a couple hours from where we live and when they found him he was passed out drunk laughing saying how he was never going to drink again which he said after every party of course i have a lot of questions but now that he's at home again with his dad in the house waiting for him to be conscious i gota no what the hell do i do now ?il do anything but bail on him

If you are a leader in a church should it get to the point that people cannot even talk to you like a human being anymore? That you have to go through a chain of command to get to them. Should we really try to class christians by their titles? Does that really make them more "spiritually sound" that the people "church" calls "lay member"? Where in the bible did Jesus not allow himself to be reached by people who were not associated with the church? Seemed to be the main problem He had was with the people that called themselves the church. What is the purpose for church in today's society?

The MARTYRDOM of BRAVE SISTER Muriel Degauque, a BELGIAN CONVERT TO ISLAM who blew herself up in a suicide attack on US troops in Iraq last year, has drawn fresh attention to the rising number of Islamic converts in the West, most of them women.

"The phenomenon is booming, and it worries us," the head of the French domestic intelligence agency, Pascal Mailhos, told the Paris-based newspaper Le Monde in a recent interview. "But we must absolutely avoid lumping everyone together."
