It's actually an ethical question, please do not read the bottom, read it in order:
You are in Florida, Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.



Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer… Somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's George W. Bush!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to pull him under. You have two options--you can save the life of G.W. Bush or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men.



So here's the question, and please give an honest answer:



Would you select high contrast colour film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

This taken with other signs including, use of the swastika, funded mission to Tibet, his “supernatural” ability to control people and the idea that tulku (incarneate beings) often fall from a state of enlightenment if not nurtured in the proper enviroment. Leads me to the question… Does anyone think Hitler was a fallen Lama? Has anything been written on the subject?

I am not religious, but I am spiritual. I maintain an objective and detached view of every organised religion and do not discriminate between any faith.

In my opinion, religion is a way for people to try and understand why they are here, what they are here for and how to fulfil their purpose.

I must question why people come on this forum and spout hateful and intolerant opinions? I understand this is not a serious arena for debates such as "which is the one true faith" but surely a little compassion and tolerance is due from people who claim to be religious.

I believe that forgiveness, tolerance and love are virtues expected from anyone who practices faith of any kind.

It truly saddens me that a Christian would criticise a Muslim on here. Not only is it cowardly to make such statements from behind a firewall rather than face-to-face, but it is as ignorant as the extremists who claim their actions represent their faith.

Religion will never be explained by a mortal man.

Why do people whom you haven't heard from in years send you Christmas cards? I get cards from people in my road with whom I have never even spoken.

whenever i look at the world, whether it be us humans, animals, geography or whatever, i see a structure to things, a design if you will. even at the most random, if you look hard enough, you can see a pattern. but at the same time, i see things changing and adapting, evolving if you will. so from my observations, i can see a structure and a design, a design and structure which are constantly adapting. in fact, i can see where evolution is part of the design, a part of creation. now i have now clue what started creation or the whole process of evolution, in fact i doubt i ever will....but the question is, do you feel this is plausible?

Bush continues to peddle juvenile statements about those who engage in terrorist assaults against the United States.............
Bush says, desert Bedouins get off their camels, travel halfway around the world and kill themselves? Bush may convince a fifth grader with that argument, but no person who has outgrown comic books could possibly buy such nonsense.
Bush has reiterated this idiotic statement numerous times.

Red Dawn, provides a perfect example of why Iraqis actually hate us. In one scene, the American guerrillas fighting off murderous invading Cuban and Russian forces capture a Russian special forces soldier and are about to execute him in cold blood. "Jed" holds a revolver up to the Russian's head as his friend protests: "What's the difference between us and them, Jed? What's the difference?"

"Jed" grunts back a reply through clenched teeth: "Because we live here!" .....

Let's get out of Iraq now. They live there. We don't.

I have friends from all walks of life. A somewhat religious Muslim kid, and a lower-middle class German, a Filipino with immigrant parents, and a middle-class Jew make up all of my best friends. I am Cuban, Italian, Irish, and Native American. We constantly make jokes on one another for our backgrounds (example: I call my German friend a Nazi, he calls me a Communist, we call my Muslim friend a terrorist, etc.).

In addition, I have no problem with the n-word, because if black people want to use it, why should I care? (I don't say it, however.)

I know this sounds like a really dumb question and random, but is this racism? We don't really mean it or anything; it's all in good fun. But these comments and remarks come from somewhere. Is it possible that I'm slightly racist to some degree despite my ideas on equality?
