Society & Culture - 1 November 2007

I just cut and pasted this, so its word for word.. Read this below????

"Christmas should be downgraded unless other religious festivals are marked on an even footing, a Government think-tank has said.

(Advertisement)
The Institute of Public Policy Research has suggested various ideas to make the UK more multicultural.

It also wants "national culture" barriers to be torn down to help immigrants settle into the UK."

I really do give up.??? If anyone comes here, this is England OK...do as we do or dont come here.
The one thing English people should be proud of is that we dont go to live in other countries and preach how they should run it... Fed up with bending over backwards to do good for others. Trouble is if we dont we are called racist...
As I said in my Question just minutes ago, I'm not racist, I have many foreign friends.
It really is getting ******* stupid now, downgrade christmas,,,, cant say black board at schools but you can say white board,,,, what next?

A scuba diver gets called a scuba diver
A lorry driver gets called a lorry driver
A beer drinker gets called a beer drinker
So...why can't shirt lifters be called shirt lifters?

I ask this in R&S because the only people I've heard claim "The Big Bang says that something came from nothing" are creationists. I've never heard a single astronomer say that.

So what part of the currently accepted Big Bang model of the Universe makes that claim? (I say "currently accepted" because I don't want somebody digging up an old version of the theory that has already been discredited.)

Can anybody give me a citation as to where it says this? Scientific literature would, of course, be ideal.

The Bible says that all humans suffer from original sin except for Jesus because he didn't have a human father. I don't know how on Earth that doesn't say that original sin is genetic and transfered from the father.

And it sounds like a falsifiable scientific hypothesis.

This is a phrase I use a lot, so I'm curious as to how others interpret this:

"The biggest sinners always pray the loudest."

I am doing a essay about honoring our veterans for this contast. I am done with the essay but I have two different versions. They are both the same except for the ending. One version is with my ending and the other version is with a different ending by my teacher. My endings says In the history of mankind only two forces offer to die for you, they are Jesus Christ and the American soldier, one die for your soul and the other die for your freedom. My teacher's ending says In the history of mankind only two forces offer to die for you, one is my personal savior who died for my soul and the other is the american soldiers who gave everything for my freedoms. Now my teacher say I MIGHT get disquillifed if I keep my version. I feel if I choose my teacher's version then I am somehow denaning Jesus. I dont know what version to choose so please give me your thoughts of what version to keep. HURRY cause this is due TOMOROW!

Narasimma was a wicked giant .He did much harm to the gods .Shri Krishna fought against the giant (the sinner ) and killed him.That day is celebrated as Deepavali.

Hindu Philosophy always teaches that a true Hindu should arm himself ,fight and kill away the evil peoples.

Gandhi the Father of Indian Nation was assasinated by the Hindus not for prefering violence to fight against the enemy.

Thus all evil peoples should be killed. That is the major Duty of every Hindu .

Unfortunately these Hindus Mistake or Misunderstand the other groups of people to be evil and attempt to carry out their Duty against them ( that is to kill them away ).

According to Hindu Philosophy , all meat eaters ( especially the cow eaters ) like Muslims and the Americans should be destroyed by the Hindus. To prefer Violence and To Destroy such evil peoples is the major Duty of every Hindu .

That is why every Hindu god seems to hold some weapon.

Does America know the Meaning of Deepavali ?

This guy was stomping around in Salem, MA and approached some conservative Christians preaching in the middle of the square. He was told that God forgives all, but that God will not give him the time because he has no shame.

Thoughts on this????

He claims that he uses the N word on a regular basis and ranted to his son because he is dating a black girl. Yet of course after the media gets a hold of this tape he claims he isn't a racist. Okay, so he uses the N-word all of the time and if you hear this tape you'll understand how much hatred is in his voice. Why do people like him and Mike Richards claim they aren't racist after they have these tirades making it obvious? Are they that thick?
