I responded harshly to an answerer who used the term '***'. It makes me angry, not only because it's wrong but also my wife is Japanese and I live in Japan. It could be he didn't think it was offensive, but I still feel it's wrong.

Do you report them, which I didn't do, or just tell them they are insensitive?

pick faults with your spelling, and like, more or less shout about it, which embarresses you in the process, does anyone else think that yahoo should monitor questions more to stop people like this from answering

some black, hispanic, white, gay, straight, and the christian faith does not tolerate some? Look into the past for christian racial discrimination. It seems we are not created equal, so god must be a bastard. How can you believe when this is fact, we are born different and have to fight against different opponents. Shouldn't we all have had a fair chance? Bring on the scripture!!!

First and foremost I want to state that I respect all beliefs but I stand strongly by my own. I am, however, completely open to debate/discussion..I am Lutheran, but respect what others believe entirely.

I got many answers to my previous question which is located here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061012160056AAzS5WN&r=w

And recieved many answers from those who were non-denominational Christians. I want to look outward and learn more about Christiannity to help others and strengthen my own faith.I'm curious about how you've come to be non-denominational, what it's like, why you like it, etc...Thank you for your time. God bless!

I'm proud of where I came from. My GGrand Farther was killing the Zulus during the Borr War for Queen and Country, And my family name has been in these island's since before the romans.
I am very proud of my heritage, But get very annouyed when I see archeologists digging my ancestors up!!!

That comment was made by a man right here on Yahoo after I asked the question, " Why are white people so defensive?"

I must say, this as*#@le is the most HONEST I've ever heard in my entire life! I really think that he is better than the average white person just because he had nothing to hide......I made the biggest mistake by not marking him the best to comment my question, so I would like to contribute this NEW open question in honor of his honesty and biggotry.

ARE YOU PROUD TOO?

People keep saying that everyone is so oversensitive, but I don't think people would be so oversensitive if they just got the respect that they disserved.

A little Christian humor for a change

Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly, God was tired of hearing all the bickering.

Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job."

So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.

They mouse.

They faxed.

They e-mailed.

They e-mailed with attachments.

They downloaded.

They did spreadsheets!

They wrote reports.

They created labels and cards.

They created charts and graphs.

They did some genealogy reports.

They did every job known to man.

Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.

Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off.

Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld.

Jesus just sighed. Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers.

Satan started searching frantically, screaming:
"It's gone! It's all GONE! "I lost everything when the power went out!"

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work.
Satan observed this and became irate. "Wait!" he screamed. "That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don't have any?"

God just shrugged and said,

"JESUS SAVES."

Ok, my husband thinks that we can't bring liquids at all on the plane, not even in our luggage that we check and I'm pretty sure that we just can't bring it in our carry on luggage. We are traveling from NY to CA. Can someone please clarify that for us. Thanks.

And I know this is in the wrong catagory, but I'm also pretty sure that it will not get half as much attention in the correct catagory. Please don't report me :)

Why do some people think this is bad? If my wife wants me to have relations with her after she has expired, is that so wrong?
