ok, maybe he's a racist and he definetely shouldn't have said the things he said but damn, get over it! even if he IS a racist (hypothetical), how is it going to impact the people he offended?

I see alot of kids on here asking what to get moms for Christmas. I think all mothers would agree it's the thought that counts.I am a mother myself,35 years old.Two beautiful girls 16 & 13. My mom died in 1994 from a battle with breast cancer. I know just having all her children together,being healthy and happy was good enough for her. As I feel the same way. I remember and so did she, once when my brother was around 7(he is now 34 and a father of 4 kids),we got to go shopping with the school. He had bought her a pink razor,you know the bic ones,that had 6 sides,and he just thought it was the most wonderful thing ever(mainly becuase it was pink),,,,,and so did my mother.Live this day as if it was you last. As a Mother or Child this year think about the fondest memories and if they were no tomorrow what would yours be?

If i had my own country it would be atheist and there would be no religious buildings since theres no god and that would be just a waste of space that could be used for something usefull and to keep the people in order i would create laws and enforce them and if they didnt follow the laws i would bring out the death penalty and they would be electrocuted without hesistation and i would legalize prostitution and gambling and there would be buildings just for prostitutes so that if you want one you could just go in there instead of having all the prostitutes standing outside they could all be in there and i would be making money off of all of this i would be rolling in cash from all my casinos and prostitute buildings and i would allow abortions for everyone since theres too many people anyway so might as well let the women do it if they want and there would be a buy one get one free abortion sale how does that sound to you?

The atheist agenda was trading Bibles for porn at UTSA (UT at San Antonio)....Isn't that a negative way to push your point of view... What do you think?

By the way.. It was magazines like Playboy and Penthouse...

so much offense at what people call us, rather than what people do to us. If somebody accuses you of being a certain way, that shouldn't bother because it is the opinion and thus, open to error. But what somebody does to you is genuine and real. It cannot be denied. So why waste time getting worked up over what somebody says about you?

Government thought highly enough of the fine arts and sciences to give them generous funding. Yet the money came with many strings attached. Artists after 1932 were bound to the dogma of socialist realism, whereby (in the words of the Union of Writers’ charter) they were to engender “a true and historically concrete depiction of reality in its revolutionary development” and assist in “educating the workers in the spirit of communism.” Adherence to this state-mandated cultural movement was enforced primarily through the oversight of the artists’ unions. In science, where there was no tidy formula for political correctness, researchers took their work assignments from above and were expected to trim their opinions to the prevailing line.

So basically there is no difference between extreme political correctness and the policies of the Soviet Communist government.

Just curious because if you follow a star, it never gets any closer...you can't really follow an actual star to a place on the ground. So what was it?

this year, I have to do a secret santa thing. As a high school boy I am totally oblivious as to what to do. Supposedly I have to do small things for the person I have and finally give a gift at the end of two weeks. I will get the person's locker combo (might be a guy or a girl). From there, I am not sure what to do. What little things can I do for him or her during the two weeks. Build a snowman in front of their house? Leave cookies in the locker? I need some new ideas! Thanks!

How do you define "gifts of the Spirit"? Would you also tell me what religion you are, (denomination, if you are Christian)? If you don't like all of the questions, feel free to answer whichever ones you're OK with (or none).

You are married and your spouse whom you love dearly suddenly dies. After some time you fall in love again and remarry. Then your second spouse dies and you die shortly after. Now they are both waiting for you in heaven...what happens now?

When you want to refer to a quote but you don't want to write the whole quote, what do you put before the part until where you cut the quote ( besides the quotation marks). Also, do you capitalize the first word or not even though it's not the first word in the acutal quote?

Why is it no matter how ignorant you act, poorly you talk, terrible of a parent you are , criminal your record- you are never questioned for being really black by the black community.

But if you learn how to master the language, carry yourself in a respectable way and act responsible, explore the world outside of the 'hood', you are considered 'less' black?

Seems odd

It seems like somebody asks a question and then there are like twenty seven answers that are like, "yes." "no." "maybe." "nope." "that's a good question." "hmmm."
Do people just do it to rack up points? Why would you do that? Those points are completely meaningless! And please don't be cute and say "yes." "no." to this. Why would somebody sit there and answer question after question with dull short statements? What the hell is this world coming to?
