It seems like Jewish people are just so racist toward Muslims when they themselves have been tragets of racism historically speaking, and yet they continue to have their prejudices against Muslims. Also, this might sound incredibly racist, but it just seems from my experience, Jewish people are very unpleasant to be around, because I've known Jewish people before, or half-Jewish, and to me, they are always so opinionated and sit on this liberal moral throne, like they think they are superior to me b/c they are Jewish and have been persecuted and targeted, etc. I think to be anti-semitic is horrible, but I just can't help but notice that the Jewish people I've met, even the ones that are just half-Jewish, are just so unpleasant to be around..like I said, they always have something to say and it's just annoying.

How do you come to know, presume or interpret, the infinite word of God that man’s finite wisdom has placed into scrolls ?

Are not holy men charlatans pretending to know the word ?
How can the word written by mortal hands be presumed to be God's words ?

Serious answers please.

Choose lady if you would spare the life of the person you love most even if it means you would be loosing him to another woman.
Choose tiger if you would rather see him dead or out of your sight forever, if you can't have him.

Unfortunately I am of Mexican descent and I would like some tips on how to be more white so I can open up more opportunities for myself. I am almost white but that damm taco heritage is still evident slightly in some of my facial features. A lot of people on here keep saying to be proud of my heritage, that Mexicans were good at math, etc. But who really cares and what is there to be proud of? Does Mexico make an automobile? No. does it create anything purposeful in today’s society no? The culture is dirty and has no class whatsoever. Have you ever been to an Italian restaurant? A French restaurant? Notice their food and etiquette is much more civil and advanced? I mean let’s face it. We all know that if you’re white you stand to get better opportunities; you also have a better likelihood of being given loans, or even being trusted.

What’s so great about Mexican culture anyway? Italians, Irish, and other immigrants, even Chinese are far more superior, they assimilate and become part of this country. Even Middle Easterners adapt but Mexicans??? Well you can see for yourself on the news. I don’t see anything positive about Mexico or being Mexican. Other cultures build beautiful buildings cathedrals etc with a lot of craftsmanship. Even today white people make better houses. Have you ever seen something built by a Mexican? There is always some defect, its unleveled, half a$$ed and just shy of looking really complete. Yes a lot of Mexicans may be building the homes, but if it wasn’t for some white guy telling them what to do, who knows what it would look like.

I just want some feedback from the white community on how I can be more white so I don’t get labeled and have a better chance at life.

Someone just posed a question "why doesn't God send manna from heaven?"

Don't you think the New Testament church has Jesus which is our manna? The bread of life...

or is that an inaccurate interreptation?

I am a muslim and i am taught not to hate anyone and to never dis respect other peoples religion. Wat really gets me pissed is that alot of people think that all muslims are like saddam hussien and o'samma bil addin (i think thats how u spell it). Thats totally wrong. If u hate muslims STOP!!!!! Most muslims care as much about america as much as anybody else does and most of them are nice and caring. But as in every other race there is also a stupid person who does the wrong thing. So believe me if u hate muslims u should find out more of our religion and then decide.

They say that kindness is contagious. We have all heard about the person who has gone through the drive thru and paid for the person behind him or her. What nice thing have you done for a stranger that didn't require a lot of money or time? Do you believe that your act was contagious?

Please, i am looking for some extremely open minded women to listen to my fantasy. Im not a phsyco, im a normal guy with very different fantasy.

i have a fantasy about being shrunk to a couple of inches tall by a good looking lady and then eaten alive (swallowed whole not chewed). Are there any open minded ladys out there who may find this interesting. Anyone who would eat me if they had shrinking powers?

Please dont call me names, and please mail me if you have any questions you would like to ask.

Thankyou

I mean, not just about heaven and hell, but they changed the view of heaven and hell to something else. It wouldn't be any different than Dante, Milton or Bishop (Bishop used the ideas of heaven and hell and changed them around and formed an entirely different world where darkness was good). But if it conflicted with your religious views would you automatically give it a thumbs down, especially if it made mention of Lucifer and he wasn't chained up in the bowels of hell?

Or would you be understanding enough to read the story without critizising it for taking religious ideas and changing them around to make an interesting story. Especially when it's stated that the story is not about the author's personal religion, but about writing a story that requires more work (and usually more courage) than a normal story from a fantasy world the writer could easily make up inside their own head.
