okay here me out first. i was reading a comment left by a member that said that blacks commit 90% of all crimes so i had to check it out. what i found was that it has been reported that we supposedly do commit 90% of interracial crime. but that in fact is not completely true. for those of you who don't live in the "ghetto" or lower-class neighborhoods please takae a trip there. don't worry you won't have to stay long if your scared. but seriously, look at who owns the stores, gas sations, the really nice homes (or the better homes in the area) and the nice cars that blacks steal. the answer whites do. its not that they are purposely targeted to have a crime commited against them it is that what the black criminal is trying to obtain just so happens to be owned by the white man. how many black owned businesses do you see in the hood. once we become a little established we move because we relize that we will not acheive a high level of success of we stay in the hood.

What do they do anyway? Prince Charles is in the US now & I see him on the news & think "Who cares?" Tony Blair is much more interesting in my book...far better looking too.

God created the earth and everything in it in six days and rested on the seventh day and said to keep it holy. How many are doing it? Why is first day, sunday being used instead of seventhday, is it because paul and the apostles had gathered in prayer on a sunday this practice has come. So are you following god or paul?

My dad says that there's nothing wrong with being proud of yourself if you accomplish something or do something right. but what about all those sayings that say pride cometh before a fall and what the Bible says about pride? i'm confused.

I was at Circus Circus in Las Vegas for a little family fun time. After we called it a night, we walk out the doors to the valet area and some girl races past us with great haste. She then bends over and vomits all over the place. She wipes off her mouth and walks off. As we are watching with amazement, I began to ponder over a question: Why is vomiting in public acceptable but urinating and going #2 not. Vomiting is arguably more gross than doing #1 or #2.

What if I had the "runs"...I cant go around to a bush if there is not bathroom in sight? But still yet, I can Barf with no problems anywhere, anytime, anyplace in America and its ok!

Your thoughts...

There is evidence that there was an ancient flood. People knew this, so it had to be added to the bible or else everyone would have known that the bible was fiction. So where did the Jonah fable come from?

How do you believe in a god? As of now, I have never believed nor have I NOT believed in god. I always think about reading the bible and what not, but to be honest I just don’t see the point. I’m not atheist in anyway; I guess I’m more agnostic than anything. I guess the whole religion thing confuses me like no other. I would love to believe in a god and or a higher power, I just don’t want to say I believe in something and I know in my heart I really don’t. I think what I’m looking for is just some general guidance on where to start…I’m asking on here because I know it upsets my family when I say I don’t know if there is a god. I just don’t think I should believe in something just because my family does. I want to believe because I WANT TO…Anyone have any advice?

God has requested sacrifice. The animals that were sacrificed were his creation. Does this mean that God doesn't care if we destory the ozone layer and pollute the earth? How do we know which creations God values most?

They don't have to shout their good deeds from the rooftops but it seems like no one involved will tell you squat about what they do which causes speculation.

I don't mean to be racist (I am not a White person anyway) but the non-white races don't seem to try hard enough to invent/discover solutions to their problems OR to be able to police themselves. The talk is always about their past glory and how they are not being treated with 'respect'.

Today in a class we discussed discrimination etc, i bought up the subject of the town i live in as there is a big cultural divide between 2 main cultures, i commented that whenever there is a crime against one side (not obviously racially motivated for example a smashed window became a racial incident once despite no evidence of it having anything to do with race!) it is ALWAYS assumed in local papers that the white british are responsible! never the other way around tho!!
I was then more or less accused of being a white supremist by my tutor! and there were alot of raised eyebrows! i was so annoyed as this was not what i was saying at all, i was simply stating a fact!
is this PC gone mad? or was i in the wrong? anyone else had similar experiences!

Why tempt your creations? Why would he create beings he knows will disobey and then condemn them for it? It's like allowing your dog out in the rain and then punishing him for gettting muddy.

If I saw someone that was pure black or white they would probably look strange to me. I think I'm pinkish-beige.

What is this mindset of being white or black anyways?
