...considering they had formerly been men's property. Name what and how He changed things positively in context of scriptures. Women's lib often accuses religious women of not being liberated and are fighting to usurp authority over a man to get there. How can we show folks the liberty we have in Christ's teachings in the right way is truly fulfilling?

I was just curious by the fact that the Hongkies like to be called by their English names. It definitely makes it easier for everyone, especially the English-speaking ones, to remember their names. But I feel this is just so Un-Chinese or whatever you might call it. I think they should just stick with whatever names given by their parents. Also, there's a growing trend of Hongkies who give themselves some silly names that do not even bear any meanings, ie: Pepsi,Fish. Please help me to understand the underlying factors behind what could be known as a voluntary "self-westernisation" of the Chinese that some Hongkies might not even realise the consequences of having done so. More pathetic, the Western-born Chinese have always been the ones that are heavily sought after in their entertainment industry. Arent the Hongkies should be proud of who they are? It doesnt change the fact that they are Chinese even if they deliberately pick up an English name.

It would seem that minoritites would have me feel bad about being anything other than whatever they are and even worse about being white. Is this the best means of combatting racism that people can come up with?

We know human mating and childrearing systems are constantly adjusting to levels of technology, population density, deployment of males and females in production and local enviromental conditions. For example where there is an abundance of land and a shortage of labor polygomy prevails so that men can become properous by adding additional wives and children ( Utah last century). At the opposite extreme polyandry represents an adjustment to scarcity of agricultural resources, 2 or 3 brothers may share one wife to cut down on heirs to the land (Tibet). Monogomy tends to fit in between the two and of course we have simple promiscuity with high divorce rates in the west today. I guess cultural may play as large a role as economics in all this, but I'm not sure. I don't think it is human nature to be exclusively promiscuous, polyandrous or polygynous. What do you think?

99% of this place pisses me off. You all give half-***/ baked answers. I ask real questions and people just try to put me down for it. We need some sort of test and place where people with real answers can go. Agree?

Because I've been searching, and in fact, that's how I just found this site. I haven't found anything yet and I'm surprised. I would expect for more people to share this fear, and that a name would've been thought up by now. Anybody have any idea?... Or is there a way we can coin a new term, if there really, truly, isn't any yet?

Locking up more people only reduces crime if those being locked up are serious criminals. If it's a serial rapist, that makes an impact on crime, but if it's a kid selling crack on the corner, that just creates a job opening for someone else.

Existing jails in CA serve as gateways for the 21 new prisons the state has built since 1980. Over the past two decades, the number of inmates in those prisons has grown sevenfold, to more than 160,000. It cost California taxpayers nearly $5.3 billion to build the new lockups -- and it costs another $4.8 billion every year to keep them running.

Locking up so many inmates is not cheap. Design-Build, a construction trade magazine, estimates that 3,300 new prisons were built during the 1990s at a cost of nearly $27 billion, with another 268 in the pipeline valued at an additional $2.4 billion. And construction costs are only the beginning of this. The new jail in LA sat empty for one year because the county couldnt afford to open it.
