Society & Culture - 3 December 2007

I'm Asian American and a freshman in college. In the past I had friends mostly of the same background. I did have friends of other backgrounds but just not as much. In high school I was in multicultural groups but mostly Asians still. -_-" Now I'm in college and still I got mostly Asian friends. Maybe I don't approach others because of fear that they will judge me.

What could be the reason? We're all American right? I think for everyone its fear of differences and judgment. DO you think I'm racist for this? What do you think could be the reason? How do I approach others better?

Thank you for reading.

I know it's Christ, but mine would have to be the apostle James, the sons of thunder. I always wonder how strong his preaching was for him to be singled out so quickly.

Hello, I am thinking about studying Catholism. I have attended Mass only a few times but really enjoyed it. My question is, how long do you think I should wait before I start my process to becoming Catholic? (I really don't want to move too fast but I am very excited to learn more.) Also, can you give me a quick summary of what I need to do in order to be Catholic? Thanks for the help!

Mine was when my son was born July 27, 2001. I just remember when the doctor told me and my wife that our son would be born deformed. Just dwelling on that thought almost made me stumble. Boy was the doctor wrong.

Do you remember February 1993 in England , when a
young boy of 3 was taken from a Liverpool shopping
centre by two 10-year-old boys?
Jamie Bulger walked away from his mother for only
a second, Jon Venables took his hand and led him out
of the mall with his friend Robert Thompson. They took
Jamie on a walk for over 2 and a half miles, along the
way stopping every now and again to
torture the poor little boy who was crying
constantly for his mummy.
Finally they stopped at a railway track where they
brutally kicked him, threw stones at him, rubbed paint
in his eyes, pushed batteries up his anus and cut his
fingers off with scissors. Other mutilations were
inflicted but not reported in the press.

N.B. :- Remember, a 3year old cannot possibly
defend themselves against a 10 year old, let alone of
2 them.

What these two boys did was so horrendous that
Jamie's mother was forbidden to identify his body.
They then left his beaten small body on railway
tracks so a train could run him over to hide the mess
they had created. These two boys, even being boys,
understood what they did was wrong, hence trying to
make it look like an accident.

This week Lady Justice Butler-Sloss has awarded
the two boys ( now men ), anonymity for the rest of
their lives when they leave custody with new
identities. They will also leave custody early only
serving just over half of their sentence.
They are being relocated to Australia to live out
the rest of their lives. They disgustingly and
violently took Jamie's life away and in return they
each get a new life!

I'm by no means racist, but why can't I say I'm white and proud of it without someone accusing me of being a redneck klansman?
Why am I made to feel almost ashamed and dirty to admit I'm proud to be white?

Did you even look into the evolution theory enough to intelligently debate it? Do you at least agree that it's important for everyone to look at both sides, even if the opposition doesn't return that favor.

Science is simply mankind's search for the truths of the physical world- what we can possibly know first-hand about God's work. What's bad about that?

It's time to face the facts.

I'm a Christian btw, the bible is a book of our redemption through the blood of Jesus Christ. Salvation and love, not science. Turning it into science indirectly but VERY effectively turns non-believers further away. A ridiculous lie (creationism) and the truth of Jesus Christ don't mix.
