Story is my sister has been dating an african american guy for a little over a year now. He is 34 she is 22. He has no job or money and basically lives off of my sister. Last month i get a call from my sister crying and it turns out her bf hit her, So i say im coming to see her, 300 miles away, she says no shes going to come to my place the next day.

Well the next day she shows up but with her bf. I wouldnt let him in my place and wouldnt let my sister leave with him. He started getting in my face and telling me I was racist and that i needed to get over the fact that he was doing my sister. Well this was all pretty loud so by now we had a audience, all the neighbors in apt had come out to see. I tried to go in to my apt and close the door but he blocked it with his foot all the while yelling at me that i was racist. And I lost it so i stepped out and dropped him followed by lots of punches with regrettably some racial slurs. Im getting charged with a hate crime.

Isn't it the earliest written language on earth? First written in cuneoform, then latter turned into a figure-like form on paper? Is much of it known? Is it possible to study it, or is it impossible to do so, or not worth trying because not enough of it is known?

I'm really considering Catholiscism but I am a lesbian. I like being a lesbian and it's not something I want to change nor do I believe it's even possible to change. I understand that it's not that being gay is a sin but that having gay sex is a sin because I can't marry or procreate the natural way. Still I'm wondering what you think. Say I'm in a very committed relationship with a woman of 20 years. I would never cheat on her and she would never cheat on me. We both live good Christian lives and attend mass every week. But to show our love for eachother we have sex from time to time. Is it still just as much of a sin and will I go to hell for it?

I mean I don't even have a girlfriend now and don't plan to for a long time. I also believe that sex before marriage is wrong and that is why I would only have sex with one woman and after we've been together a long time and plan to stay together for life. Can I still be considered a good Catholic if I have sex with a woman?

Is it watching commercials? Is it going to church every Sunday?
Or perhaps just closing your eyes and letting yourself be guided by
the kind and caring angels that know what is best for you? I am so confused. Could someone enlighten me?

I remember seeing an old black and white film clip of the miracle at fatima. It showed hundreds of people walking up the hill, and then total panic as the shadows moved across them. The narrator said that they all saw the sun plumet towards them, thus causing the shadows that were seen on the crowd. Was this actual footage, or a hollywood recreation? Do you really think that the big secret was that the pope would be shot? Or do you believe there is more?

Why do people disrespectfully misappropriate and trample Asian culture? This is most evidently seen in martial arts training (like other cultures don't have them!) traditional medicine (ditto) and religion (ditto)

Asians are not "mystics" or "holy" they are PEOPLE and to disregard the rest of civilisation's gifts to humanity is to insult EVERYBODY. It is a way of insulting EVERYONE to want to be more Asian than Asians. The Hare Krishnas come to mind.

I have a Tibetan friend and the idiots who attach themselves to him make me chuckle. He doesn't like a lot of them either but is too polite to say so.

I still maintain my belief that God has already finished his "history book" of humankind up until the end of time, if any. The book has a meticulous details abt every individuals' life, whether you are rich or poor, whom your parents and spouses are, your occupation and so on, its all mapped out!. And the book has recorded sensational events like ww2 or 9/11 even way before it actully took place. the fact that some pyschics manage to tell you something about the future is because they have taken a glimpse of the book. Nostradamus had that ability, but he couldn't change "History" it was not meant to be anyway.
You may argue that wat's the fun if life is preplanned.It is!, you haven't a clue about your own history book, that's the key, you would still be enjoying your life not knowing wats gonna happen next, making decisions along the way with your so called free will, therefore the "fun" is not lost and what will happen will happen, what's meant to be is meant to be.
