Society & Culture - 2 January 2007

I have been thinking about joining the National Guard. I need a way to start making my own money so I can pay for college myself instead of having my mom pay for everything and taking control of my life. I see joing the National Guard as a way out. I will be making my own money, have money for college, and I think it will help me become more independent and a stronger person. My friends tell me that it is a bad idea because I am black, a girl and gay. I do have a friend that is in the National Guard and she says that none of that matters because she is both black and a girl and says that I just don't say anything about being gay. I still am a little hesitant about joining. Do I have good reasons and will it help be become a stronger and more dependent person. If I do join, I will do it during the summer while school is out. When the summer is over, I think I might transfer to a school out of the city. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do or anything I need to be prepared for

Isn't is just so funny that Christians have an answer, no matter how illogical and irrational, for everything? I have seen pretty rediculous answers from Christians on this board, some even make me laugh out loud. Ever notice how Christians will give you a thumbs down rating, not because of the question, but because they disagree with you and nothing else? Thanks Christians, you all give me such a laugh sometimes. Ever notice how atheists and evolutionists (like myself) are always open to adjust and modify our beliefs based on new scientific evidence, but Christians NEVER bend their beliefs, no matter what evidence smacks them in the face. Talk about a closed mind. Christians remind me of those guys they catch on that show COPS. Even though the police catch him in the act on tape, the criminal STILL refuses to admit the crime. Even when he SEES the tape, SEES the evidence, he STILL refuses to admit the crime. Anyone else think thats funny?

Do you have what it takes to spend time with your children, to educate them in the ways of the world and then teach them accordingly? To give them high moral standards and also live by them yourself? To show them truth, honor & loyalty? Do you have what it takes to be a real parent and step up to the task?

Christians impose Christian laws and symbols on society.

Due to the constant hatred that comes from the atheists, I thought I would ask a "not really a question" question and see if the religious people think that atheism should be punishable by death (or at least by beating). What can be a worse crime?
We will see how long this question lasts. ;)

From my extensive list, the most annoying for me is the word 'touchbase' used by people at my work to describe meeting with another person.

For example: 'Hey Memphis, we should 'touchbase' over lunch to discuss our business plan'.

Whenever I hear that word used, I feel like killing someone.

So, how about you people? If you like, perhaps provide the word(s) that makes you angry, when it is used and what you would like to have done or have done to people who have used it.

Do you Christians not consider revenge or "justice" killing wrong not to mention a barbaric hanging.

Does anyone know if Sapphire, Scorpion, or Viper magazines are still published? I think they were produced by a company called Stonecastle, but I can't find any reference to them on the net.

there are some people, mostly muslims, who think that the holocaust never took place. do they have any kind of evidence or reason to back this up? any references(not to religiously biased sites)? many just say its a lie by the Jews who supposedly control the media. it would be ironic, since most media is anti-american and anti-israeli.
