What is the point of calling someone racist names if it doesn't prove anything or solve anything? What is the point of being racist, if all it does is promote violence, racial slurring, profiling, judgement, insults, and most of all ignorance?
Why would you think that you are better than someone else just cause they didn't come from the same place you did-doesn't that make you a hypocrite and hate yourself too? Did you come from somewhere where NO ONE else had been or reproduced before your flesh happened??? What the heck is wrong w/people that are racist? Are they so angry at the world that it's their only way of venting?
Ok, I'm done... have fun, ignoramus and intellect.

I like to get a rise out of people. I want the look that is so close to laughter and so close to anger, but I want it to teeter in the middle. Any great ideas?

With all the pure junk theology today I wish there was actually a form one could fill out and be able to show in black and white that certain doctrin was wrong. Even then I don't think some people would believe.

These are the two religions that destroyed a number of encient cultures in the world. Yet they (at least Christianity) say that whatever God made is divine! Would these religions look very beautiful had they been restricted in and around their place of birth?

and had Yahoo Answers yank it saying it was not a question. Doubtless this has to do with the ton of money Yahoo is paying to have a pink ribbon on their front page.

Yes, I agree breast cancer is a terrible and hideous disease. But...


Why is so much more attention being paid to breast cancer than other forms of cancer?

The incidence of breast cancer for women who reach 90 is 15% compared to almost 100% of men who reach 90 experiencing prostate cancer. What about lung cancer which kills more women than breast cancer? Or heart disease that kills 100,000 more people every year than all forms of cancer combined. Or auto accidents that indiscriminantly kill 40,000 people a year, mostly young people. Why is this one disease recieving so much attention to the detriment of so many other diseases and social ills that have a much higher death toll? It's a fair question and should be respected as such. The only answer I have is 'better marketing'. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Se equivocó la paloma.
Se equivocaba.
Por ir al norte, fue al sur.
Creyó que el trigo era agua.
Se equivocaba.
Creyó que el mar era el cielo;
que la noche, la mañana.
Se equivocaba.

Que las estrellas, rocío,
que la calor, la nevada.
Se equivocaba.
Que tu falda era tu blusa;
que tu corazón, su casa.
Se equivocaba.
Ella se durmió en la orilla.
Tú en la cumbre de una rama

Only the foolish and bewitched draw back to law.
Fulfilling law would accurse everyone, kill everyone.
Perhaps there is an allegoric answer many don't see.
I am(grace) not come to destroy(law), but to fufill(grace).
Law worketh wrath is what destroys both property & life.
God hath not appointed us unto (law worketh) wrath.
God did not send his Son to condemn(law).
Bless(grace) and curse(law) not.
Go(learn) and sin(law) no more.

Thanks for your answer to my last question: human vegetables have souls.

Before, you said that my pig, who is named Gordon, does not have a soul.

Gordon can open doors, scratch 1000 words and phrases with his trotters, and lives in a trailer at our place. We raised him as an orphan and taught him the sign language, so that we can talk with him about things - what he likes to eat, if he wants to go for a walk, eat nuts, mate another pig, roll around in filth and whatnot.

Gordon looks like a pig but has cognitive facilities and can communicate. But a human vegetable who looks like a person is really just a slab of living meat with blood gurgling around inside it but no intelligence at all. You would not have much fun hanging around with a human vegetable, but Gordon is learning how to bowl.

I cant understand why Gordon loses out here - the pig with personaliity is being treated as soulless, and the human vegetable meat slab gets the soul - why is this?

I met a girl, as a friend and we are getting along very well. But I am starting to have this intense feeling about her. I seriously want to be with her and possibly tell her my feelings(eventually). It is difficult to find where it all comes from, because she hasnt taken any deliberate action at all. But it engulfs me and I cant stop thinking about her. But I cant tell if she would ever have those feelings about me, or if she would ever feel that way about girls in general. How would you deal with this feeling? How do you avoid the awkwardness and embarassment if they arent gay?

Okay, so this has bugged me since I was a kid.
God apparently created everything in 7 ( or 6 ) days, because he rested too, correct?
So he made the heavens and water, humans and ANIMALS etc..

So according to scientific research... the first known "humans" around were about 4-5 million years ago.

And according to scientifc research the dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago.

So, were humans chillin' out with the dino's?
