I was verbally abused by a coloured person who"s tirade was full of the usual things like white maggot honky bleach baby and worst of all a slur on my mother and her race[scottish/.On reporting this to a pc who was within earshot he did not want to know.Taking it further,his superiors said in no uncertain terms that they would be wasting their time going on with this as no court would convict a black for racism.Surelythis can"t be right I am thinking of going private any advice

They seem to love them like snausages. My wife thinks that it is disgusting she wishes I would quit. I don't think that it is harming them. They eat their own doo doo for chrisakes. Should I listen to my wife or keep giving them delicious treats?

bless some people more.

i know a Christian woman who is always happy and has lots of friends. she gossips a lot about people and sometimes judges people really harshly. even so, her friends still love her and never complain. she is very beautiful and intelligent. she is very popular and people always want to please her, no matter what she does or says. her husband worships the ground she walks on.

yes, i am jealous because she has a lot of advantages and gets away doing things that other people normally don't. i see God is being unfair in this situation. i see God favoring her.

don't tell me God loves me very much or God blesses me, or God sees everything. He sees this and where is the justice?

Hey, I know I must be stupid to ask this, but why did lot give up his daughter and concubine to be raped by those guys rather than giving them a guy. Why did he use the words:,'And humble thee them', meaning he wanted those rapists to humiliate them. And then why did he cut up the concubine into 12 sepearte puieces. What's going on here? And remember, if you say it's an allegory of some sort, you must then allow that the rest of the bible is an 'allegory'... And then why did lot's daughters get the old man drunk and have sex with him? What the hell is this thing called the Bible. Where is the religion in it? Cause I can't find anything but vileness I wouldn't show my ten year old.

....to be silent every other moment in their lives. Why is it the only emotion Muslim women are allowed to publically show is hysterical grief?

Let's make it this way today. I have read many comments here about Muslims and being offended when someone writes about them. Let's see how Christian will react to this. If we take common pattern which goes like this: suicide bomber - Muslim = terrorists - all Muslims or the whole Islam. Then we have: paedophile - Christian priest = all Christians paedophiles. I am Christian myself and would like to understand where these generalizations come from.

Think about it. The church was currupt for 1400 years before good ol Luther came in and split it all up. What makes you think that in those 1400 years all the writings and what not are authentic and not mixed with lies and what not? Oh and don't try to say they were authentic because the papers were dated back to the first century because then you must admit that carbon-14 is real (and that means that the earth really isn't 6,000 years old OMG!).

People on answers should at least be made to reveal their email address as part of answers seeing so many so called anonymous answers are insulting or just plain warped.Stand up and be a humane,or stay in the back and shut up if you have nothing of any value to say.

Alright,I just have a couple of questions for you;
1.Do you ever make mistakes while writing in English,for example
instead -appreciate- you write -apreciate-?
2.Do you ever use the wrong tense like instead of past perfect you use past simple?
3.Do you ever make mistakes at all while speaking English?

Because I have friends from Australia and I communicate with them very well,I think...still I'm curious.
Thank you!

P.S.I'm jealous of you,I had to learn English for 4 years to know how to speak it right and you didn't that isn't fair!
