It's a Chinese metaphor. "A broken clock is right twice a day."
I've got my own opinion about it but I'd like to hear others. Any ideas?

I'm doing a research project on this. Is it still needed? Is it wrong to hire or not hire someone because of their skin color? Is it okay to discriminate against whites because some whites mistreated others? Does this make blacks feel undermined because they are simply filling a quota?

It really irritates me that so many people enjoy making fun of others. Why do we do it?

I am not predjudice at all.... But have always wondered, why is ok to have bet(black entertainment television), black awards, etc. And not white entertainment tv, or such. Can you imagine what would happen if someone tried that?

For example, do you vote Republican because of its inherrent Christian nature? Would you even consider voting for a candidate outside your 'comfort zone' or religious affiliation?

I am an observer and I don’t choose religion as a way of life, and I don’t know how much difference this would impact on the way I lead my life!
All civilised opinions appreciated
Thank you

I've been watching this site for a couple days now and I have to say, all this back and forth banter has led me to a conclusion. It's simply this: No body really "knows" whether god exists or not. All the questions and answers that claim any "knowledge" of god's existence just turn me off immediately. Religion and spirituallity are not science. They are belief systems! We can't prove he exists...and we can't prove he doesn't. We are all free to choose a belief system that feels right for us. But believing something doesn't make it true or false. Our beliefs will not change what is ultimately true. We can have very strong feelings about our belief systems, but strong feelings do not equal truth. I guess the question is this. Can all types of believers unite around the simple concept that this whole "god and his existence" subject boils down to nothing more than what individuals, and group's of people, believe?? I don't know if there's a god. Neither do you. Comments?

If you believe God does exist, you lose nothing if he doesn’t exist. If he does, you may gain happiness and eternal life. Comments.

OF course he did. However there is an unwritten revelation. if both adam and eve had refused to eat and all temptations of satan would they have grown up eternally and become the sons of God without sin?
But God cannot know what people will do until they do it! Especially in a controlled environment...
He knew that both trees were offered, both choices were offered equally, therefore statistically it was a 50/50 chance, probability that either choice could be made.

I sort of like the ideas that Catholics have about keeping faith to themselves in terms of not being boastful about knowing the Holy Spirit and not wearing their religion on their sleeve. It's about solitude, praying alone, worshipping alone, having a personal relationship with God. I know Catholics have a bad rap for the way they treat women (and little boys at times). Why do you think that is? What's so bad about being Catholic?

Me and a few of my friends went to this house where this crazy guy had killed his whole family and his dogs. He had cut off all there heads and stuck them on steaks in the yard. We herd that the place is hunted so we went to check it out. When we got there it took awhile but we herd some dogs barking and when we turned our head we seen these red eyes moving around in the yard. Then we herd a chain saw. We thought it was just our mind playing tricks. Then my friend put his foot on the break by excident. I told him to do it again cause I saw something. We all turned around and seen a shadow move past a sign on the side of the road. We also herd the chain saw noise getting closer. We still figured it was our minds playing tricks once again. Then we saw the shadow go past another sign that was closer to the car and the saw got very loud. Before we knew it there was spark's flying and we seen the ghost with the chain saw trying to cut the car. We freaked out and took off. whats ur story?

It seems to always amuse people no matter how old a person is. It can be a great ice breaker and room shaker along with mood breaker. I am not a poet, and I thought you should know it.
