Society & Culture - 6 July 2007

Alright, i posted this before, and got a lot of feedback, so i will post what i did before, and add a bit more. This is what i said:

Ok. I don't like black people. NOW! Don't go saying im a racist. It's not that i don't like them JUST because of the color of thier skin, but because in general how they act. Where i live every black person is either a complete moron, or a criminal, or obnoxiously loud. Now this is just a majority of the ones i have seen/known. Does anyone else feel the same? Does anyone disagree? Please let me know.

Ok. This is what i have to add. According to Wikipedia Racism is a belief or doctrine that differences in physical appearance between people (such as those upon which the concept of race is based) determine cultural or individual achievement, and usually involve the idea that one's own 'race' is superior.

I do not dislike black people because of the color of thier skin, nor do i think i, or my race is superior.

Into story: I remember in my world history class (long long ago) My teacher asked the class to name the religions in jerusalem.
One girl said, "Um christians, Moslems, and uh Catholic people." Everyone in the class was nodding as if she answered right.
Teacher told everyone it was Christian, Jews and Muslems and everyone was shocked. (how can they forget judism?)
Teacher also said that the christians there were catholics.
All hell broke lose as my classmates were in doubt, anger and fear.
Mainly here in the US, christians take catholics as an insult and don't consider it as part of Christianity. EVEN THOUGH, there are more christians in the world that ARE catholics.
Question(s):
Our culture has made catholics into a religion itself?
Did you know that catholics are part of Christianity?
Don't you hate it when people make fun of catholics they think of lil boys being molested?
Don't you think its funny when mormons make woman get naked as part of their rituals?

How are you so sure that your God is the only God and all others are wrong? Is it because someone else told you so? Seriously, is that the only way you know? What if that person were wrong? Do you have any other reason besides "My mommy and daddy told me so..."

If someone doesn't like your questions, then why do they whine about it? Why not just move on to the next question? LMAO!

OKAY people are saying I can't have sex with my cousin because its illegal. BUT I thought it was just illegal to MARRY HIM. HOW can the government step in and say HEY YOU CAN"T DO THAT if we're both adults and both want to? I mean, couldn't even a BROTHER and a SISTER have sex if they want?

I'm not talking RIGHT and WRONG on a moral level anymore, I'm wondering WHY the government has a say in who people have SEX with.

Besides...HOW would they FIND OUT??

Ok, so Christianity is a Monotheistic religion right? Where there is ONE god. But i learned in church there is the holy trinity, the father, the son and the holy spirit, and then in some areas people worship mary, the mother of god...Also, theres alot of confusion of your praying to Jesus or God..because theres a difference, jesus is the Son of God, so who are you worshiping, who is the ultimate diety and why does your Monotheistic religion include 4 dieties?

Another question and its answers made me curious about how many Christians out there don't attend church but rather worship in their own way, on their own terms. Is that a popular form of Christianity, the individualistic path?

Of over 12 million illegal immigrants, how many of these are youngsters who needs to feel that they have a future in this country. These youngers needs to have a sense of belongingness.

Now more than ever they feel that they are an outcast whom US government/congress could not even help or give any sense of hope to belong to a community. This will push these youngsters into "gang" life.

I see an increasing violent gang related crimes in the future. What do u think?

After getting advice here, Im thinking about leaving a "gang". Im in a crew called the nell'Emilia Family that is defined as a gang by my highschool. There are 5 Families at school that do gambling, bribery, drugs, extortion, food scams, and candy running. Next year there will be a crackdown on the gangs. Students named in a report will have to go before the school board. Im in the report due to my high rank, extortion, and drugs. They claim that I directed sales and used our Hitsquad and Junior Blackhand subcrews to extort students. Drugs are involved so people could be going to jail. And I'll be 18 in October. I got myself together but me being expelled twice in the past hurts my cred. We told the members to go legit but they still do dirt. I look bad because Im associated with them. My friend Anthony who is the head stepped out and left the day to day to his brother and wants me to do the same.
