Personally, I believe that when it comes to saving lives, ethnic profiling is reasonable. I mean I'm asian, and I don't mind them rounding targeting their energy towards asians if there is an asian bomber in the city. I think that it is a sacrifice you pay for your country. Besides, you would go for war for your country(not this war..retarded, but WWII), why not take a few interrogations?
The FBI is not RACISTS okay, it's just that as a matter of facts; profiling features such as clothing, behavior, and looks are just a part of their job. Race just "happens" to be a feature people are sensitive about. That being said, I'm against racist racial profiling such as stopping people for BWD's(black while driving).

YOur thoughts? Please give reasons without getting offended.

If so, have you found ways to have intercourse without getting pregnant that are in line with the Church's teachings?

could the solution to africa's problems be abortion? more abortion means less AIDS infected children and less orphans. it means not having to worry about so many children who are sick, without mothers, etc. i think its a good idea, its working for Europe. Europe kills more babies every year than AIDS and malaria put together in Africa every year. if you disagree with me, then try to back up your statement with a logical reason, or else you could seem like a racist. allowing white Europeans to kill their babies but not black Africans? seems like classic anti-White, reverse racism to me, so logical reasons please.

I think Halloween is a fun time and it gives me a chance to get a rise out of people though the last 2 Halloween have been expecially bothersome after being arrested for disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace just because I dressed up like Bin Laden and ran around the neighborhood yelling "kill the infidels" and threatening to blow myself up. When confronted I would politely explain that this is Halloween and I am entitled to a good time like everyone else. Though my wife and my neighbors as well as the local athorities obviously disagree.

I mean I can sort of understand the use of things like ppl, LOL, and j/k on messenger services for convenience sake, but does no one edit anymore? Will someone please explain this phenomenon to me; it seems so sad and careless.

For those who say they follow the 10 commandments. How can these 10 rules decide whether you go to heaven or not when they are practically impossible to follow? How long before anyone on the planet breaks one of them, a day at most I would say. Some of them are just flat out ridiculous.

"Do not covet thy neighbors goods" As George Carlin said, "Coveting keeps the economy going, it creates jobs"

"Respect your parents." How many of us have disrespected our parents so many times before?

And according to the 10 commandments, merely lusting after a woman is already adultery.

"Do not bear false witness." One lie and you're a liar, we've all told lies havent we?

"Thou shall not murder." How many people have been killed in the name of god?

If these are the rules to get into heaven, then we are all seriously screwed. How can this be when they are so hard to follow?

I'm not experienced with same-sex relationships...but there's this woman that I work with whom I have a slight crush on. We talk and joke around, many similar interest but I just can't tell. What are some key signals to look for? How do I make a move without putting myself out there too much?

I headr that (probably in a movie) and It terrified the $hit out of me for a while...then I started thinking...well no, the day your body is done developing you begin to die...like around 21? I'm 26 now and so I can't hide anymore ;)
But seriously, is that rediculous or somewhat valid in your opinions?

Hadith 4:657

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, surely (Jesus,) the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly (as a Just Ruler); he will break the Cross and kill the pigs and there will be no Jizya (i.e. taxation taken from non Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it." Abu Huraira added "If you wish, you can recite (this verse of the Holy Book): -- 'And there is none Of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (i.e Jesus as an Apostle of Allah and a human being) Before his death. And on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness Against them." (4.159) (See Fateh Al Bari, Page 302 Vol 7)

Why do you bash God, the Creator of heaven and earth, and Jesus, are you bored with your own evolution fairytale or will I call it your "religion" that you have nothing better to think of or are you just not completely "evolved" into something with a brain.

I know this question has been asked before but there was a least a dozen different answers. What does it mean? I know it refers to Christianity. What does the P&T stand for?

I want to learn Buddhism to practice as a way of life!! Christians = do not send me warnings. I know how you are. I am a simple, unmaterialistic person wanting to be educated on Buddhism and to practice, to live it. I do want to be judged. This has happened all my life. I only want to learn this philosophy to practice daily to walk a peaceful life. To obtain inward peace and tranquility. If I need a teacher, so be it. That is fine with me. Can you provide me as much info. as possible how to walk as a Buddhist person. I do not want to preach it to people. I am not this way. I am a quiet person, one who thinks before speaking-choosing the better words to speak to another. I am kind to all people, even those who are not to me. I forgive others easily. It is my way. But I still have not obtained peace within. Is there a temple in the 92126 area code of Sand Diego California? Can you recommend some very good reading on the subject? Please do. Thank You for all your assistance people.
