Society & Culture - 14 July 2007

I mean , i've just recently learned about the conflict dimond situation. And i swear, i will never put another diamond on my finger. These people are tortured and held prisoners, for their "masters" to make money, and for people like me to buy their product. It's sick. I've never learned so much, mostly about myself, and looking a little bit deeper within myself and finding my morals and where i stand , as i did with the movie Blood Diamond. It made me cry. I guess the saying "Beauty is pain", actually is true. Our beauty, their pain.I definatly condone people who are trying to raise awareness and make a difference, even if to one person in this world. Sure as hell this world needs it. Let me know what you think.

"It is well to remind Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists and all other Christians, that the Bible does not support them anywhere in their observance of Sunday. Sunday is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and those who observe the day (Sunday) observe a commandment of the Catholic Church"
Priest Brody, in an address reported in the Elizabeth, N.J. News of March 18,1903.

Some people say that LDS believe that we become little gods when we die but that is blasphemy! Also, I thought that angels were created angels and that our spirit goes to Heaven.

Do some Mormons believe that there is more than one god? I know that they think that Christ's Spirit is another man. Christians believe in only one God.

Would God still condemn us and have those prophecies considered full filled since they were given to us anyway? Or would He find some others who are faithful who would carry them out? What are your views?

I believe there is a god. Human kind is too stupid to have created themselves. But i dont attend church and dont believe in most of the religious stuff. I dont believe in pandoras box, and the whole garden of eden thing and all the sins and stuff. I dont believe in the storys and the scriptures. I have been to a church twice. I have been told about giving your whole mind body and soul to god. I dont think I should give my whole mindy body and soul to him. There are many other things i can use my whole mind, body and soul to. Now I may just be confused about the whole philoshophy of religion and stuff bu ti dont know. I belive in the values that god supposedly teaches. Like honesty, trust, faith, forgiviness, helping others, caring for the weak and sick and sutff. So does all this make me an aithiest or just a confused teen? My friend and I were having a conversation and i was talking about how i have room in my heart for everyone and a whole bunch of other stuff. and she said how ....

You start a new job in a country that has way different laws. You meet 2 people. One makes leather, and one makes cat fur coats. Most people hate the one that makes cat fur coats, but everyone loves the one that makes leather. Which one would you hate?

If conscienceness is only a brain function...then isnt life just like a dream. You live it and then remember nothing of it. Is the Universe all in our head...whats the space between us all. Its like if a tree falls and no one hears it, did it make a sound..well if there is no life in the universe to sense it, then does it really exisit?

THIS IS A GUY QUESTION ONLY.
Going shirtless in summer is just something guys seem to enjoy.. What is the most daring place you guys have gone to already shirtless, or decided to pull your shirt off once you got there? If you were self-concious about going shirtless in the heat, would you do it anyway if you were sweating?

We have no reason to take away a life:: A creation of god. Disrespecting eachother just because the layer of
skin that we have covering are selves. Racism should be put to end forever. Gangs? They don't start on their
own do they? N0 way. It's popular among us young teengers. They think its cool because all the actors on the movie
are hard gangsters. So they wanna be just like them. What good comes out of that? Nothing. Only Vi0lence..
Where is the love in this society. We diveded eachother into groups base against are skin color we diveded others by labeling them.
Punk, prep, Gangsters, Emo, Goth etc. Why do we label eachother. We are living in a movie that never runs out of FILM.
We wanna be and do things we see in Cinema movies! What's wrong with the world? It's like the whole world
is addicted to Drama! That brings TRAMA.. Just think about it. W0RLD PEACE IS THE ANSWER!

(again i know its not true)

why is that a person will state a stat such as "Black people make up 80 percent of the prison population." And say this is proof that Blacks are criminals. Now the number is closer 42 percent in reality, but that is still too high.

But lets say it true that 80 percent of prison inmates are Black. How is that a person can state this a fact, but then deny that there is any racism in the justice system.

Do you see what I am getting at?

how is that such a statistic is looked at as proof of Black peoples inferiority rather than evidence of racism in the justice system?
