I hiked today in a large park in Los Angeles. The trail was strewn with beer bottles, a broken trash can, a discarded cooler, an empty anti-freeze bottle and various other trash.

Should people that litter be given public executions?

So, supposedly Mary as a virgin conceived, then gave birth only a couple weeks later? Didn't anyone around her notice anything weird about that? Or were pregnancies a lot faster back then?

How is it that Homosexuals can compare their "struggle" for equality, to the Civil Rights Movement of African American? Is sexual orientation not a Preference (i.e. choice), where as race is fate?

i do not hate my people. i love them. some of you are talking about i am ashamed of them and i should want to know my background and all of that. that is not the point. the point is i do not find interest in black males mostly. i do not take one black man and paint the rest of the black male individuals. please stop telling me that i am not proud of my colour. i am mosy definitely proud and i do know some of my history. i know all about how they raped and beat our foreparents. i do know that. that's the past and i don't dwell in the past. i'm talking about today and the way some of the black males are being portrayed as bad people. and some of them are. please try to understand i know some of you do. but please try to understand that i am proud of my culture and my colour. i just do not find interest in black males. i know im black but that doesnt say that i habve to like black people. i do like black people. i don't find as much interest as i do in some white people.

Could you answer a few questions for me, and please expand on your answers.

1) Do you also think it would be ok for bisexuals to marry a member of each sex?

2) If same sex marriage is already legal in your country or state, has anything been said about bisexuals?

3) If same sex marriage is accepted, would this be the next logical step?

If you dont believe in same sex marriages, then these questions probably have no point. If you do, I didnt use an example of marrying goats or children, so no Im not hating or slamming. Just curious :)

Well i mean really, think about it, there are cars that cause pollution, factories. YOu might ask, well how can we do something about it. I mean i know there are a lot of people who want to change the environment and help stop pollution. but they think they are the only ones. Or they think that there are only a few of us. But i mean the government would rather spend less money and cause pollution, than spending a little more money and help keep the air clean. I mean pollution can kill us, and it can cut our life time shorter

I am not ignorant of deaf people's abilities and their culture. I know several deaf people. I am not asking about deaf people's ability to use language or read--they can do this perfectly well. What I want to know is how they process thoughts. While a hearing person "speaks" in their head, obviously for the deaf this is not an option. Since sign is (most likely) their main form of communication, do they think in signs, or see thoughts as pictures? I am very interested in deaf culture and am trying to learn more. Any information or experiences with/about the deaf would be helpful!

My friend is from India and she only dates light-skinned black guys because she wants caramel babies. she gets mad when black guys are with white girls. In addition, she does not like black girls. She was like, "oh my gosh all the girls are liking black guys now and it's making me mad." she isn't even black, so why does she care?

Why the people understand "music" like a band or kind of song if in the dictionary of Cambridge there is:
"music: a pattern of sounds made by musical instruments or singing or a combination of both, intended to give pleasure to people listening to it."

In almost all elementary schools, children are taught about pilgrims and the Mayflower and all that fun stuff. What they do not tell is the story of the MASS SLAUGHTER, RAPE, AND DESTRUCTION of the Native Americans. They didn't say how

"By conservative estimates, the population of the United states prior to European contact was greater than 12 million. Four centuries later, the count was reduced by 95% to 237,000."

In 1493, when Columbus returned to the Hispaniola, he quickly implemented policies of slavery and mass extermination of the Taino population of the Caribbean. Within three years, five million were dead. Las Casas, the primary historian of the Columbian era, writes of many accounts of the horrors that the Spanish colonists inflicted upon the indigenous population: hanging them en mass, hacking their children into pieces to be used as dog feed, and other horrid cruelties.

When Columbus talked to his sponsers, he claimed that his goal was to spread the "glory" of God.
