I won't be home Saturday to give out treats, but I don't want to be a gremlin and deprive the local kiddies of their customary treasts. What is the general concensus, please?

The Roman Catholic Church claims that it gave us the Bible. This claim does not stand up to the test of history.

The Old Testament was written by God's inspired prophets, patriarchs, psalmists, judges and kings.

The New Testament was written by Jewish-Christian apostles and none of them are Catholics because there was no Roman Catholic Religion at the time.

The fact is that the Catholic Religion did not exist at the time of Jesus so Peter had nothing to do with something which did not exist.

So Catholic Church did not give us the Bible. However, Catholic monks helped preserve the Bible by copying it and you will see, the Catholic Church kept the Bible in Latin.

This prevented people from reading the Bible in their own language.

•If all immigrants were standardized on entry to our ‘PROUDLY’ multicultural country what a monotonous society we would live in; effectively sapping immigration of one of its chief assets: diversity leading to knowledge and understanding. Indeed it is plausible to argue that degradation and life standard of women in the western world is considerably more worrying than that of our Muslim counterparts. Such dishonours as prostitution, domestic violence and rape are all substantially more prevalent in the West. Individuals say the veil makes them feel threatened; however when examples of the veil being forcibly removed from women in the streets with glaring obscenities being screamed are brought to light, this suggestion seems inverted. This symbol of reserved piety and protection from debauchery in its voluntary and minimal existence on ‘our’ streets should be respected and appreciated.

I am hoping that more people on here understand the concept of a hypothetical question, and that I can get some interesting well though out answers.

What if it were switched, and men had the babies and were the ones responsible for deciding on abortion or adoption. Do you think the fight regarding abortion would be as astronomical as it is right now?

When answering keep in mind the struggles women have had in getting the vote and equal rights (still fighting for that one),and many other things. Women have always throughout history been seen as poor decision makers. Do you think men would be given more leeway in making a decision like that, simply because they are generally believed to have better judgement?

I have no opinion either way, just looking for others who may have an opinion on it. And yes, I am a pro choice feminist.

always threaten others with violence? Like " I dare you to ask a black person that to their face, they would cave ur head in...." Do blacks always have to respond with violent acts? Maybe the ape brain hasn't any more capacity than anger??

I am being sentenced in a couple of weeks, and will probably go to prison for a year or two. What I did was stupid and selfish, and I probably deserve what ever sentence I get.

Have I messed up the rest of my life after release, or will people see beyond the fact that I have been locked up?
