..........or is it just a convenient handle. I'm thinkingof the Jade/Shilpa shindig. Was it racist? I don't think so. If Shilpa had been a Scott Jade would have called her Shilpa Haggis rather than popadum. Jade was trying to be insulting but not racist/
What think you?

Why does there seem to be more skid marks when cars turn off the main road onto a side road, compared to cars leaving a side road to join the main road?

It saddens me that a few Bad People call themselves Muslim and or Christian when both their Holy Books say that we should all live together in peace.....they go about with threats and hatred
Do they not realise that is they that cause predjudice by their behaviour....?

Im a white english lady. I have a problem with the criminal justice system. If i was to call a carabien man a "black man" i could get arrested. If a called someone from pakistan a "paki" i would get arrested. yet i live in an area where there are lots of people from different countries who speak many different languages. I get alot of people calling me white scum, milky or white trash. Where do i stand because the police dont help us white people when its us thats getting racial abuse.

Are we heading for the same type of world that the Middle East is living in? Where religious beliefs are causing so much fighting. Where people cannot accept the fact that everyone dosen't believe the same as them.

I feel the generation preparing to take responsibility is far more aggressive in terms of living and setting their priorities than the one before it. is it because of the freedom they have been getting or is it just the way we live is too selfish?

Do you get angry when you see theses "scientists" talk about this "carbon dating" thing they made up? G-d said the devil comes in many forms, I think He is testing us by creating sleasy convincing scientists to lead us astray from The Lord.

I am told that Freemasonry exists to bring enjoyment to its members and give charitable assistance to the community. Does anyone have good or bad experiences regarding Freemasons that they would like to share with us?

why are our men killing our women, children, and other men?
Why are men pedaphiles, rapists and serial murders?
Has anyone noticed that we have a problem with MEN?

Men are the biggest pervayors of violience, and our culture seems to foster it. This climate of violence is so pervasive that our girls are becoming equally as violent as the men

Has anyone noticed that in the patriarchal androcentric world in which we live there is no female face of divinity ?

Where is the mother in our biblical stories where is the mother to the father - mankind is supposed to embrace women- but when you contiually read he, him, his in the text you begin to realise how invisiible woman actually are.

Its time to start looking at the root cause of male violence because its taking our world towards an abyss - can we be mature enough to see how a male world view prevails that continually abuses the feminine half of humanity including the planet - our mother earth

I have travelled to Southeast Asia and Western Europe recently for vacations, and found practically all people I encountered were very warm and welcoming. Both times I travelled I met great locals and travellers alike who seemed more interested in the USA and what life is like living there, rather than be critical of myself for being an American. Both times I was a little nervous thinking I would be hated for being American, but I did not find that to be the case. Even people from the middle east I ran into were very nice and respectful, and seemed to have no issue of me being American. With all the polls and press, saying that most of the world is Anti American I didnt see it. What are your thoughts?

How comes heavey metallers/goths with horror imagery are largley peaceful and rap fans often support thug culture?


Ie look at heavey metal clothing and there is a strong association with horror imagry on films...


Often in songs too...


But in clubs you are perfectly safe the worst risk being bounced around a dance floor mosh pit like a wild bouncy castle game.

With them often loving music and creative areas. Many becoming teachers or youth leaders


you get hurt everyone looks out for you.



Yet if you look at cultures surrounding garage, rap, jungle music etc.



There appears to be a 'respect' dominance culture where vicious fights are common over nothing, with respect for gang culture, mugging, guns, calling girls bitches, lack of contraception, pecking orders etc...

Whilst the only time you here of heavey metallers or goths truning violent its after extream long term abuse and bullying till they snap.




Why is that?
