Well,first of all let me say that I'm from Italy and unfortunately have never been to the USA even though I've been dreaming of visiting the country since I was a child.Anyway,I'm still very interested in finding out anything about the culture.I must say that my opinion about America has always been deeply conditioned by the media.In particular movies and TV series made in the USA.I know that Americans normally are proud of their country and when asked I received many answers telling me that the USA is the land of freedom.There's just one thing that I can't understand.A friend of mine lives and works in Miami and he likes it.He has just told me that there people quite often don't have holidays during the working year.I was taken aback because here in Italy everybody has got at least 4 weeks holiday per year.So,how can you say that that is the land of freedom if the government makes you work so hard?

There are scientific studies that suggest that none of us are 'born that way', either heterosexual or homosexual. That most of us follow the dominant pattern dictated by nature for the survival of the species, and the influences/models that paradigm has created over many thousands of years.

What do you think?

I dont actually care but am worried that Obnoxious Schizfartzschwein, a 23 stone incontinent skirt wearing bloke who spends all day sat on his commode laboriously striking computer keys while pretending to be Julia,a moderately attractive but foul mouthed femme de nuit, might adopt a different persona and come to haunt us again, any ideas.

Well, that question went kind of over some heads. It was an argument, people. It was a question. Can there be something, can it exist, if you can't see it or most of it?

It cannot be argued into people to think one way or the other, because, there is no tangible proof of or against His existent. This is a no win situation, if we try to continue pursuing pounding each other.
"IS SO!!!"..."IS NOT!!!" ..."IS SO!"...."IS NOT!!"....

you are just raising your blood pressure and 'sowing seeds of hatred and bigotry' in yourselves, an in people who read your comments. So, no matter what you think, do you want to be responsible- partially- for a person to be hurt or commit an act, that is not socially acceptable in all areas, or in the Face of God? Whichever you believe in?

Love, not hate. Tolerance, not bashing.

Peace.

yes....man

Japan and China says it is. They recomend that we eliminate cross racial breeding to stop any possibility of the once white intelligent race from the "dip in intelligence also". They use western europe as the direction where the us is going with the mismanagement of "dark skinned" immigrants from - yes you guessed it...north africa.......

I have experienced a lot of mexican,chicano,mexican americans(I don't know which is politicaly correct and have no intention on offending anyone) whom have tatoos that display aztec artwork etc. I was wondering why they relate themselves to the Aztecs? The Aztecs were the indigenous people in the americas and migrated south into what is now called Mexico but the original Mexica Pronounced (mee chee ka) were to my knowledge indian (i could be wrong) and i believe that these people were slaughtered by the Spanish (from spain) conquistadors and what is now Mexico is an aquired territory of the country of spain. I am very curious as to the true history of this..Any info that can point me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. AND for the record i am not a racist in any way and had no intention on offending anyone and if so i sincerely apologize in advance. I am a beginning scholar and want to broaden my horizons and gain knowledge of this as well as many other subjects. Thank

I believe I am ever learning, and I am honestly curious here. I am not a conventional Creationist believer, so help me out a little.

How many complete evolutionary skeleton links have been found, and how many are missing? I read a few years ago, Lucy had been discredited, is that true?

Please, no judgment, I am seriously curious, and if you have UN-BIASED links, Id appreciate those too.

According to natural laws, 2nd Law of Thermodynamics : All spontaneous events act to increase total entropy. entropy (over time things go to disorder)

For the Theory of Evoltion to be true, it would usurp this Law of Thermodynamics.

I find even the English can't sound English on American films or TV, like Helen Baxendale on Friends and Davy Jones out of the Monkees. I don't know about Daphne on Frazier, who I like a lot, but no way does she sound Mancunian (from Manchester). Maybe they all need the same vocal coaching as Johnny had?

Do you think, taking no offense, the mixed Americans or muti-racial Americans are prettier than the single-race Americans? I am a single-race person.

Here in Spain, the children at school have to take a toy in that they don't use any more, it has to be in good condition, then the schools give them to people on low income that carn't afford xmas so that all the school kids get a least one toy for xmas. I think thats what real Charity is looking after your own, with lille or no expense spared:)
