I have not seen a black movie that has four stars. Maybe I am wrong on that one. I have watched many blacks movies like boyz in the hood, Friday, Next Friday and Friday after next. These movie deals with black people and their culture but they all received lower ratings like one star or two. Than there movies that is about white people and their culture like the Titanic or the sound of music that has four stars. Who is in charge of rating movies and if so are there any black people on this committee that rates movies. Furthermore do you watch a movie based on their ratings and is this act a racism in Hollywood.

I'm asking again the question, more specifically, cause I notice church people are trying to dodge it.

For the exact quote look at Matthew 16:28 --So don't tell me I got the quote wrong.

Mark (and Matthew elsewhere) also quotes Jesus as saying that the present generation will still be around when he comes back in the clouds, and the angels will gather together all the elect of the earth.

See also Mark 9:1

Any serious church people want to tackle this one? If you don't have a Bible or if you don't want to bother looking in it, please don't answer the question.

You who were trying to dodge my previous similar question, either you don't know the Bible, or you are just being funny.

We, as a nation, seem to utter little about a national standard of values. I feel as though we are carving our values in jello. We see a pervasive lack of values, yet seem so uninspiried to do or really say much about. It begs the question: Who are we today?

Please accept, with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country, nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. And without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith.

I always hear that straight guys are comfortable around gay guys. Even if they say or do anything they won't feel threaten. I want to know why is this and why can't every straight guy be like this?

I can't stand the excepted discrimination happening in America and Europe to Muslims. The ban is not only on Hijab but also on other relgious symbols like huge crosses, jewish skulls, and turbans. But the rule affects Sikhs and Muslims more because of the head wear they put on. Sikhs, and muslims are only allowed to cover using a thin piece of fabric, while christians and jews can still wear smaller jewelery pieces. It seems pretty obvious this law was meant to affect the muslims more than anyone. Especially since in Europe practicing christians are decreasing rapidly.

People view the hijab as a sign of oppresion but they don't have the same opinion of other religons. For instance some christians choose to cover their heads like the Amish and Quaker woman, jewish women cover their hair ( sometimes with wigs but its still covered). So whats the fuss?

A general ban has been put into place in France, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, and Russia.
