those whom side with illegals
racist latinos,,,no that couldn't be,,YES THERE ARE MANY RACIST LATINOS,,IT'S PRACTICALLY A SPORT FOR THEM

how could anyone logically be pro-illegal, Even if the illegals are benifitting us greatly,,which they are not, Don't you think there has to be a regulated flow of settlers into a country , any country if it is worth a damn

I think it's just ultra-sensitive latinos, that are offended at anything a white person does that runs short of hating themselves and praising latinos, THIS BS has got to stop, WHERE are all the wonderful level headed citizens of hispanic orgin,,,, we need you now to stop this childish hate

Based on the pics, it appears to be a cream cheese or buttercream with chunks of peppermint candy. Has anyone tried to make this at home (most people I've talked to say that Swiss Colony is just for looks and not for taste) and figured it out?

I don't like Phoenix at all. I moved here from Louisiana and I am used to nicer people. I don't like the weather. The summer is too hot and in the winter there is too much smog. Can someone in Louisville please give me information. GOOD OR BAD. We do not go to clubs. We don't have any kids. We like the Arts, Outdoors, Walking, and Biking. We are just looking for a place to live that we can call home for a couple of years. Thanks

I don't see any Islamic or Buddhist shows were they ask for money, I don't see Catholic Priests on TV asking for money, why does it only seem to be Protestant fundamentalists with shows asking for money?

...do you wish for if you have the choice and how old do you wish to die?

I ponder about this since I was kid; I grew up surrounded by death and people dying for different reasons at different ages. Many people think of death as a morbid thing, I grew up thinking it was my best ally, it made me look at the world as a "transit bus" where at some point, each one of us will reach our destiny and get off.
I see people racing their cars on the city streets 100 m/h, skateboarding down the hills into incoming traffic with not hamlet, I saw a guy with sharp pointy scissors trimming his beard while changing lanes on the highway… I call these people the IMMORTALS; I am convinced that they think they are. I’ve known many; I have accompanied them to the cemetery, I’ve seen at the cold morgue and funeral homes and on the streets surrounded by ambulances and fire trucks and curious people like me, and "Death" presenting them to me as an example of my own end.
Is it strange to think that way?

well i have asked about this and worried alot for a long time but i think i maybe ok but i wanna know what fellow christians have to say, I was saved a few years ago i came to God and said God/Jesus please come into my life and help me,and then a while after that i rememeber a period of time when i sorta said i wanna take a break from religion and i started focousing more on worldly things,and i sortof started doing all the wrong things that i prayed to be forgiven for again and i dunno if i really gave sinning a second thought like i knew it was wrong but i did it any way but i still rememeber thinking of God every know and then i think i knew soemthing was wrong,but know i think i have come back to God but i just wanted to make sure.
I have been told by many different people that if i had done the unforgivable then i wouldnt care that i did or not and i would be hardend against God if i had left him completly ,but i think i still love God i still care about God/Jesus.

Support slavery in China?

Walmart's vendors in China either pay unlivable wages or don't pay their workers at all and they keep their workers in squalor. How many Americans support that?

I have been through a lot this year and as a result my relationship with God has suffered. I don't pray the way I used to and I don't worship the way I used to. How do I press past my pain to spend the time I know I need to spend with Him?

In talking about the Episcopal split, of course, christians are on their soap-boxes again about gays and the evil of gays.

What about divorce? Christians divorce and remarry and divorce and remarry like it's going out of style...the bible prohibits that in more places than it ever talks about gays... But christians have institutionalized divorce and they're so dependent upon it, that now, it's acceptable! Jesus prohibits divorce more than once in the NT, and never says ONE WORD about gays -- yet, I'm amazed at how christians have it so convoluted.

Pre-marital sex. Another one.
Adultery. Another one.
Coveting and greed. More of the same.

Isnt it funny, even hypocritical, how christians shriek and shriek and shriek about the perceived evils that they know, once enforced, will impact their own lives very little...

...but the other tenets and laws that, if enforced, would make their lives quite inconvenient and unpleasant -- they are less concerned with those? Hmmmm...

regarding a different question, christians said that the bible is about love thus cannot be from satan. but they think satan is a deciever, and as a deciever would u tell people what they want to hear or what they dont want to hear? how would you decieve people if u were in his shoes?

do you think satan cannot speak truth and cannot show "love" or "compassion". if you do you are dismissing his ability to decieve arent u?

comments please? (keep them respectful as my question is respectful.)

More than once I've thought of something funny when I'm walking alone down a street, or I'm at some solemn function or other, and I can't quite stop myself from laughing. Though I think I get in the most trouble for laughing when things go wrong.

I needed a max unit (it's a hand-held computer thingy you scan barcodes with) at work the other day to get my job done. Two were taken, one was broken and one was missing. The check-out manager said she didn't have one, then about ten minutes later, one of the check-out girls said, 'oh, here it is. It's been beside me all along, and I didn't realise'. I laughed, and my manager cracked a bit of a spaz at me for it.

But really, I'm so used to things going wrong (like when I dumped my ex, then I ran out of money, I got a parking fine, my grades at uni started slipping, and then my car got stolen), that I just laugh at it. After all, it's better than crying or going off at the people around you, like most people do. Are there others like me?

Luke 2

1In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3And everyone went to his own town to register.

4So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
