Meaning that all employees get along with one another and there is no up stepping (backstabbing to look good) in front of the boss?

I'm asking this question to see how easy exactly it is to generalize.

I am a Hong Kong Chinese, and whenever I travel somewhere, people assume I'm a Japanese simply because i don't yell/spit/talk loudly/act uncivilised (funny thing is that i need to make sure they know i'm not Japanese so they won't overcharge me, especially in SE Asian countries :P); or even if i tell them i'm indeed a Chinese, they would ask if i grew up in the states etc.

I'm just wondering if (foreign) people usually see Chinese people as rude, uncivilised barbarians? What would the first thing that comes to mind when you think about Chinese people? (and be honest)

a funny fact is that in Hong Kong, the HK Chinese sometimes look down on mainland Chinese too, thinking their culture as weird and barbarian; but IMO, i don't really appreciate some of the local culture either...what makes them think they're so great anyways...but anyways, I want to know what the others would think about Chinese.

I am convinced my neighbour was brought up in the city, as he ALWAYS leaves the gate open when he comes in and out!

I was brought up in the countryside and therefore was taught to close every gate, so I'm a stickler for it! Just wondering if you yokel-borns have the same respect for a shut gate...or even you city-born folks!

The Bible is clear — Hell is inside the earth!

Ephesians 4:9, says of Jesus: "Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the LOWER PARTS OF THE EARTH."

On page 85 of Beyond Death’s Door, Dr. Rawlings writes patients who described hell said, ". . . this place seems to be UNDERGROUND or WITHIN THE EARTH in some way."
Scientist and Bible teacher, Henry Morris also agrees the Bible plainly teaches that hell is in this earth:

"So far as we can tell from Scripture, the present hell, is somewhere in the heart of the earth itself. It is also called 'the pit' (Isa. 14:9, 15: Ezek. 32:18-21) and 'the abyss' (Rev. 9:2). . .
The writers certainly themselves believed hell to be real and geographically 'beneath' the earth's surface. . .
To say this is not scientific is to assume science knows much more about the earth's interior than is actually the case. The great 'pit' [hell] would only need to be about 100 miles or less in diameter to contain, with much room to spare, all the forty billion or so people who have ever lived, assuming their 'spiritual' bodies are the same size as their physical bodies."
(Henry M. Morris, The Bible Has the Answer, p. 220)
The Birmingham News, April 10, 1987 had an article entitled "Earth's Center Hotter Than Sun's Surface, Scientists Say". The article stated that scientists have recently discovered, "THE EARTH'S INNER CORE HAS A TEMPERATURE OF OVER 12,000 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT!"

Have you seen pictures of a volcano erupting, spewing a lake of fire from inside the earth — consuming everything within miles just from the heat? When Mount St. Helens erupted in May 18, 1980, it was described by reporters, "when HELL surfaced upon the earth." The book, Volcanoes, Earth's Awakening (p.91) describes an erupting volcano as "descent into HELL".

Thousands of years ago, the Bible described a place called hell in the heart of the earth that matches exactly what science is discovering.


YES! THERE IS A PLACE CALLED HELL!

In Numbers 16, the Bible gives the account of people falling into hell alive!

"And THE EARTH OPENED HER MOUTH, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive INTO THE PIT, and the EARTH CLOSED UPON THEM:" Numbers 16:32-33
Caspar Peucer, a famous fourteenth century astronomer and physician, who also researched and documented the volcanoe eruptions at Heklafell wrote some very frightening information in his research findings. Peucer, claims (as others) that "fearful howlings, weeping and gnashing of teeth" could be heard "for many miles. . ." as these volcanoes erupted:


"Out of the bottomless abyss of Heklafell, or rather out of Hell itself, rise melancholy cries and loud wailings, so that these can be heard for many miles around. . . there may be heard in the mountain fearful howlings, weeping and gnashing of teeth."
(Haraldur Sigurdsson, Melting the Earth, The History of Ideas on Volcanic Eruptions, p. 73)
And Caspar Peucer is not alone. There are others who believe they have heard "cries and screaming" coming from volcanoes. Most have tried to ignore the obvious. Some simply explain the "sounds of hell" to some rational meaning. But they are there. . .
"The fearsome noises that issued from some of their volcanoes were certainly thought to be the screams of tormented souls in the fires of hell below".
(Haraldur Sigurdsson, Melting the Earth, The History of Ideas on Volcanic Eruptions, p. 73)
Inside this earth, this very moment, there are millions of lost, tormented souls — burning, weeping, wailing — without any hope whatsoever!

I hear so many people say that they feel no guilt about any situation that they're in and I'm wondering about the 'conscience' that we all have.

I am a black guy that really does not have any problems with white folks at all and never have had any problems.

I find my black cohorts only wanting to interact with blacks and network with blacks. Is there something I am missing. I just can't see myself only wanting to deal with only blacks and no one else.
As a black guy should I only want to deal with blacks?
I don't understand the thinking.




I know some whites only want to deal with whites only,but that's not my point.
