We're lucky enough to live in a democracy and have a principle right to freedom of speech. But should we allow hateful speech e.g racial slurs and things that blatantly set out to offend others.

If so, how did you find the experience?

I had the great privledge to have been baptized in the Sea of Galilee in 1982. I can't really explain how fantastic it felt but it was something I'll never forget.

and free....?

Personally I dont think it is a coincidence, I think its God's blessing. Perhaps the Christians you curse are the ones who help bring that blessing into all of your homes. If you have an "OPEN MIND" you must accept that as a possiblity, even a samll one. The closed mind is convinced it is always right. Thats my thought and I am entitled to that opinion, I remind you.

As you all entitled to yours, and I'd like to hear any thoughts on the matter....they WILL be received with an open mind.

thanks for respectful, clear answers!

On YA! tonight I've seen and given answers to a lot of questions on race, and I've seen a lot of nastiness from every group towards each other. Is there any way we can ever have (especially black and white Americans) an honest and constructive discussion on the subject of race? I have to think that this has been tried before by smarter people than me, but I don't know. I would like to think that most questions on this website represent rather extreme viewpoints, but I just don't know anymore. Please, thoughtful answers only. And let me add I don't mean to ask black and white people exclusively- anybody, everybody, chime in- just lets all be prepared to listen.........

For all other ethnicities/races, there are words that don't imply having American citizenship (Asian, Arab, Hispanic, Latino, etc.). But when it comes to black people, there's no word. On TV you always hear them address the "Hispanic community," the "Asian community" - and that includes U.S. citizens (i.e. Americans), U.S. residents and others. But if you're black but don't have citizenship (eg. a first generation immigrant from Nigeria), it's like you don't exist, since you're not included when they talk about African-Americans.

iv been with my boyfriend for 3 years now, all which have been happy. However, I found out that he had been going on a gay chat site which most people look for quick sex. I pulled him up about this and he said he was only chatting. I asked for his password to check his messages but he said the account was cancelled. It was cancelled the day ofter I asked this. He says he has always been faithful to me but I find it hard as to why he kept this a secret f he was only chatting. I did catch him doing this before and he promised he would not go on the site again. I know he used to meet people on this site before he met me. Has anyone been in the same situation, what was your experience?

I'd like to do some self-study before taking classes. Went to Amazon, and a book called Colloquial Arabic looked good. But most of the other recommended titles seemed to be unavailable (too old). Thanks.

Well earlier today I wanted to smoke but had no money to buy cigarettes. I remember the quality of paper used in bibles was similar to that of rolling paper. I grabbed some cigarette butts from an ashtray to salvage what tobacco they had, and cut a few pages out of the bible and made some cigarettes.

I'm really sorry and my heart goes out to all of you who are hurt by our over zealous christians. You are no more a sinner than we are and we ALL are in need of a Savior - so please forgive us. It will not end - so I ask for your perpetual forgiveness. I for one love you. and so does Jesus.
