Society & Culture - 4 October 2006

I'm writing a paper on the pros and cons of teaching evolution on its own or alongside intelligent design in biology classes and would like to get different viewpoints. Please be respectful -- I'm just gathering opinions, not passing judgement on either side. Thanks.

FIRST, before I get started, I am NOT interested in ignorant racist answers so expect to be reported!! Now on to my question. I watch so many music videos based on "sippin on Cristal" or "rolling on 22's". All of today's music is about blinging platinum and diamonds, driving a Maybach or some other expensive car or insulting black women. If we're not rapping about any of those subjects, we're rapping about killing one another. And then we wonderwhy our children are growing up with no morals or values and no respect or regard for another human's life. So many of my black brothers are driving around in fancy cars with huge, shiny rims, gold teeth (mostly in the south) and can't save up enough money to move out of their mother's house. When will we as a people learn that this is our downfall? When will we learn to focus on more important things like saving for our children's future, investing in a home for our families, raising our children properly etc??

Can some explain to me, why is it nessesary for some people to invade ones personal space? Why is it acceptable sometime and not others? I am confused. This has something to do with me and some one I work with. I know that I do not send out signals, yet still it happens.

I dont really dislike gays.. but deep inside I hate gays..


it seems like when it comes to gay issues, i have to pretend they are equal because society says even gays are equal, but when deep inside i know they are possessed by the devil..

i know if we allow gays to adopt kids, they will come gay, and thus achieved satan's plan. (satan likes gays) and satan will ruin the world and everything our forefathers fought so hard for


i dont care if ur gay, but please dont be gay around me..

gays = satan worshippers

any1 feel the same way??

if this was rude, or if this was harming to u, this is the absolute truth.. and i know sometimes reality hurts.

Why would God punish us for Adam&Eve's "original sin", when God knew of the betrayal before it occurred, and God could have prevented it by not placing the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden?

He didn't have to mess with free will, just not put the Tree in the Garden.

He didn't have to mess with free will if he'd just kept Lucifer out of the Garden (he knew of Lucifer's actions before they occurred as well).

So, given how all-powerful God is, and how he could have prevented original sin without messing with free will, how does anyone justify punishing -us- when original sin was part of His plan all along?

Why do children have to go hungry and die, or suffer from debilitating diseases? Why must any of us suffer for a crime we never committed, a crime which God Himself allowed to occur when He could have prevented it -without- messing with free will?

How do we call this a "God of Love"?

If you saw a black guy on a New York street you would say that he is African-American so as to be politically correct, right? You wouldn't simply say he was black.

Well then wouldn't you feel stupid when you found out that he lives in Britain, but his family came from Jamaica? You would be a presumptuous *sshole.

Since when are all black people in American actually American?
Since when are all black people from Africa?
Since when is everyone from Africa black?

African-American is a stupid title.

Politically correct people are idiots.

No?

Can you recommend a chat room where Catholics can go and have real conversations and ask things about the Holy Bible? Or websites for personal Bible studies? I don't see much Catholism spoken here.
