Why are China-folk so scared of Western-folk.

I f the pope is harmed (god forbid) in any way it would bring even closer the prophecy of the end of the world as predicted St. Malachy was said to have had a vision during a trip to Rome around 1139 of the remaining 112 Popes.The new pope would be number 111 on that list, and is described in a text attributed to St. Malachy as the "Glory of the Olive".
But Malachy-watchers point to the choice of the name Benedict--an allusion to the Order of Saint Benedict, a branch of which is known as the Olivetans.
Benedict said that he chose the name partly in honour of Pope Benedict XV (1914-1922), calling him a "courageous prophet of peace".Benedict dedicated his papacy to "the service of reconciliation and harmony between peoples".Believers point out similarities between the prophecy's descriptions and past pontificates. Pope John Paul II, number 110, was described in the prophecy as "de labore solis"--or "of the labour of the sun".
He was born on May 18, 1920, the same day as a solar

Exodus, the ex-gay group, has a youth division. And they've created something called "Allies, Too", in which kids who believe homosexuality is wrong but don't think their LGBT friends should be beaten up can pledge their support for safer schools.

They're piggybacking onto GLSEN's "Ally Week" this October, in which straight kids pledge support for their LGBT peers.

Is this a good thing or a scam, do you think?

I myself want to take it as a good sign, but am not sure about that "truth" thing. Their "truth" is that homosexuality is wrong and gay people can and should change.

I ask because I got this response below, from a yahoo answers member when I asked if it was really true that girls mature mentally faster than guys.

She said:

Women are always mentally more mature than men. They just start when they are little girls. Boys break more bones growning up than girls that is a medical fact. Most emergency rooms have boys than girls. More men are homosexuals 93% Most prisons populations are men 95%! More men go to war and therefore die on the battle field. More men die in accidents, and job related incidents. We start out life with more men babies born.
End up with women out number them 10 to 1.
so are they more mature? Are they more intelligent?
If evolution is true and survival goes to the fitest, then who is the fitest? Let's face it guys, your really cute but you don't last very long. Sorry but your just not to bright.

So are men morons? Should we all be killed off and let women rule? Is this the way of thinking of a sexist nation?

Shiite militias are encouraging children _ some as young as 6 or 7 _ to hurl stones and gasoline bombs at U.S. convoys, hoping to lure American troops into ambushes or provoke them into shooting back, U.S. soldiers say.
Gangs of up to 100 children assemble in Sadr City, stronghold of radical anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi Army militia, and in nearby neighborhoods, U.S. officers said in interviews this week.

American soldiers have seen young men, their faces covered by bandanas, talking with the children before the rock-throwing attacks begin _ and sometimes handing out slingshots so the volleys will be more accurate, the troops said.

"It's like a militia operation. They'll mass rocks on the last or second-to-last vehicle" in a U.S. patrol, said Capt. Chris L'Heureux, 30, of Woonsocket, R.I. "There's no doubt in my mind that they're utilizing these kids

I went to the web site that was offered in my previous question. Thank you for the info. I am curious what doctrine (for lack of better words) do you base your morals and beliefs from? How do you judge the difference between right and wrong?? I ask this because Christians beliefs of right and wrong come from the Bible. But, if you do not believe the Bible, then what source do you use?? Outside of the fact that you believe the fsm created the world, what else do you believe the fsm has done for the world that would cause you to follow it?? These are questions that I could not find the answer to in the posting. I may have not looked in the right places though.
PLEASE NO BASHING OF OTHERS FOR THEIR BELIEFS OR RELIGION... Just the facts will suffice. Thank you.
