compared to any latin American country the US is way more evolved and progressive in that way ,,we welcome all cultures and races and try our best to create equal oppurtunity,,,these hispanics from other countries have a highly ethnocentric mentality,,,they don't even see that as a negative trait,,,as long as you think thier culture is the greatest one,,then you can be as open-minded as them,,lol,,,they fail to see thier hypocrisy,,,

Racism is a sport on countries like Mexico and Peru,,,they treat indigeanous people and black people like dirt and aren't even shy about it,,,,,a lot believe the white man is the devil,,,literally,,,and they will say it to your face if they are in the mood,,without feling any guilt or shame, they live in an old world mentality and they have the nerve to call the US a racist country

I've lived in Mexico and Peru for 3 years

there are more cultures represented here than any other place in the world, learn some tolerance and learn some english

Christmas is Christmas; this is a predominantly Catholic country, which has celebrated Christmas for nearly 2000 years.
No bodies ever complained before that their faiths being "upset" by people celebrating Christmas or putting a bit of tinsel up in the office!

Every year someone especially a black person would be killed by police officers accidentally. Take example the case in New York City where 50 shots were fired by police officers during a bachelor party killing the husband to be and injuring others. Another example is in ATL where a grandmother was killed by a police officers who thought that the house was been used for drug activities and there are conflicting stories by different officers. Throughout American history, minorities especially blacks have been a target by police officers who often react violently when there are no violent acts. Who can forgot the king riot in LA caused by police brutality. Do you agree with me that it is time for police officers especially white police officers to go back to school for more training to prevent police brutality because it is getting worse every day and year.

I thought about the hundreds of thousands of innocent people who suffered unspeakable brutality and death by the Nazis. The great majority of the victims lived righteous lives, loved God, and kept the commandments, and taught their children likewise.

Then I considered a hypothetical Nazi, a former deathcamp employee, who, after the war, said to himself: "Times have changed; I can't kill any more Jews, perhaps I should repent."

Maybe he comes to America and in a Baptist church he kneels at the altar and asks Jesus Christ into his heart. He convinces others, perhaps even himself, that his repentence is genuine; never mind he has the blood of thousands on his hands. Perhaps his conversion is a good practical move as well.

He dies and goes to Heaven, and is met by Jesus' outstretched arms.

Those people who had suffered and died at his hands are in Hell, torment worse than anything on earth. They will suffer the torment of Hell forever; their God was not Jesus.

Then how do they explain their final book of Scripture, Revelation?
A "revelation" is something received through prophetic gifting!
Or do they not acknowledge this book in their Bible?

I'm interested in learning about people's impressions of different cities in the US. The west coast cities like San Francisco are laid-back and great for outdoor activities,and then the east coast cities (New York, DC and Boston) are known for great museums and cultural sites. What's your favorite city in the U.S. and why?

have you noticed that the atheist cannot even come to the plate? At least when anyone posits an argument, positive or negative, it would be incumbent to the debater that they could substantiate they claims. But can't, because they have no proof! They're flaccid in the literal sense. They hide behind the "Prove your positive".They have a performance anxiety. Dey got nuttin'!

I would very much like to get more details on that research.

The study had a group of hetorosexual men surveyed as far as how homophobic they are, and then hooked up monitors to their penises to see if they get an errection while watching gay porn. The study concluded that homophobic men were more likely to get a physical response.

Does anyone know this reasarch and know where I can find the primary source?

When are we going to grow up about sex and prostitution? Even serial killers who do not directly target these desperately vulnerable women usually have, at the heart of their drive to kill, some form of sex-based dysfunction.

We condemn women who offer sexual gratification in return for money yet lionise women who seek out rich men to marry for money. And we sell everything from toilet cleanser to cars with sex. For those with sexual hang-ups our society must be like being an alcoholic required to work in a brewery.

Legalising prostitution is a no-brainer: the women are kept healthy and safe, do not pass on or acquire disease and get a fair share of the money that their work generates. The whole process is removed from the exploitative power of criminals. Police are freed to pursue more worthwhile targets.
