Well that was very Christian rant of bull. the self righteousness of some people is amazing. you dont have a clue about what atheists do in their private lives anymore than you know what a chrisian does. it scares you that you cant tell us from your kind...and why is that?? because we to carry out our lives with dignity and pride. beleiving in god does not guarantee purity of heart...there are good and bad in every sector of life and that includes christians. take about attacking....man u just did it.. further more ihave been debating religion for a couple of days now and have not once disrespected or been disrespected...until you Of course here it comes.I can't possible have my own opinion on Atheism because I am some Nazi,bigoted,homophobic,hate everything,judge everyone,disrespectful,Christian who needs to be thrown in jail right? Maybe just maybe,since you don't know the slightest thing about me I am speaking about my personal relationship with Atheists over the years.Could it be the possibility I lived in the Atheist capital of America(Seattle)for 13 years?Could it be the possibility I have family members who are atheist?Maybe it could have been my experience with dating a Atheist women for nearly 4 years?You think that my best friend who is a Atheist and has a darwin fish on his car has anything to do with it? So if you want to talk about judging you might want to take a look in the mirror.You already assumed I was a Christian,think I have no idea what Atheist are like,and I am starting a attacking campaign against you.Nice start to a reply. You asked me for my opinion and I gave it.If all you want to hear is positive,atheism is wonderful,atheist are the best then your delusional.I know what I know because I have spent a major part of my life associating with Atheist.They all have typical traits and personalties that if anything are predictable.If dating a Atheist woman for nearly 4 years,having family members who are Atheist,and living in the Atheist capital of America is not enough to understand the mind of a Atheists then I don't know what is. I had a good laugh when you refereed to me as "your kind".Wow I have been called a lot of things in here but now I am in the "your kind" category. All this post has done is further my point that it is impossible for Atheist to accept the fact that anyone who does not share their vision of no religion is a horrible person.That is why there is hundreds of nauseating posts in the General religion chat with 98% of them towards slandering Christianity.This one is going to be no different. |

all religous books have hundreds of thousands of websites with lists of VERSE after VERSE to discredit them or prove them hateful, violent, or bigoted I just advise anyone truly interested in a balance to look forward, for themself, and read(in context) more than just isolated passages chosen with an agenda,,,, It's called picking up a quran off the shelf of the library and reading it.Those verses are in there regardless of what any website claims. Seriously do we even need to do that?You have entire countries under Islamic sharia law killing women on a daily basis according to the quran.You have people like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who spend hours in front of a TV camera talking about how he is justified destroying Isreal and the United states because of what the quran said.Are you seriously going to tell me that he doesn't know what the quran says and you think you do?Are you seriously going to tell me all those judges and countries who are under Sharia law don't know the laws of Islam? Your acting like if we just sat down with the 300 plus million Islams in those middle eastern countries(nearly all have Sharia law)and just told them to read the quran from start to finish,Sharia law would be banned,women would be treated equal,they would get along with Jews and Christians,and everyone would be holding hands singing "we are the world". The only reason the other non middle eastern countries don't have the Islamic brutal laws,no rights for women,terrorist attacks,etc.is because the countries laws forbids them or the rest of the public won't allow it.But as we are seeing Islam is trying to take over the world,we read about how Muslims want Sharia law in Britain and the United states.We read about bombings in non Islamic countries like Spain and Russia that are becoming more common.We read about mass murder of Christians by Muslims in Africa. I'm wide awake and well read on these issues.It's too bad some people see reality as reality and others see it as illusion. |

Are you theist or atheist? Who do you think leads a better life,theist or atheist? One thing I have learned about atheists is they rarely are proud of being a atheist.From my experience with atheists I have come to the conclusion that they are some of the worst people personality wise on the planet.Some common traits I have found with atheist are.... Rarely if ever leave a tip at a restaurant. Typically are anti marriage,no children. Never vote or care about local and political issues. Don't care about important issues such as Genocide,Wars,poverty,and other issues. Usually could care less about our military or our country. Thinks Christians and Jews are brain dead idiots. Not very motivated. Has little or no morals. I have said this before in here but your atheist charities are nearly non existent.If there is some sort of so called atheist charity it typically involves some sort of agenda such as removing religion from the planet. You hardly have to look too far into the mind of a atheist even in this place.Just look at the topics started in the General religion section of this website and see who is attacking who,who is slandering who,and who is insulting who.It isn't the people who believe in God.It is the Atheist.99% of the time you can tell if a person is a Atheist with even knowing just by the topics they are starting. I think it is easy to see why most Americans put atheists on the bottom of the pile for respect.Atheists don't fight for anything,believe in anything,stand up for anything,or really do anything except attack and slander the Christians. Who leads a better life???Hard to say.A better question would probably be who spends the majority of their life making the world a better place,bringing peace,helping others,giving to charities,etc. |

I think the issue is that INFIDEL is not a quranic word but an ENGLISH/CHRISTIAN term often used in many translations. here is a site with several different interpretations as well as the original arabic,, you can put any of the above verses in and see what it TRULY looks like and then how it has been interpreted I would also suggest(if interested) reading perhaps a full chapter or half chapter instead of just one verse to understand the context of the writings,,, http://islam.thetruecall.com/Quran_Chapter_2:89.htm Anyone who is not a believe in Islam is considered a infidel.Who really cares if you use the term infidel or unbeliever.The point is they really don't care.You really think you could preach Christianity in Saudi Arabia,Iran,Iraq,Afghanistan with out getting your head cut off?How many times have we heard Muslims preaching violence towards any country who apposes Islam using the quran for their justification.How many times have we seen leaders of middle eastern countries applauding and calling for violence towards Israel and the United states for the sole reason that they are Jews and Christians.Are you really going to tell me with a straight face that Islam has nothing to do with their frame of thinking?Islam has everything to do with their way of thinking.Every violent act,every terrorist attack,every bombing is being conducted for the sake of destroying the infidel or anyone who is not a Muslim. You can play all the smoke and mirrors all you want.Unless you can debunk every one of these quran bible verses as false then I don't know what to tell you. "About sixty-one percent of the contents of the Koran are found to speak ill of the unbelievers or call for their violent conquest; at best only 2.6 percent of the verses of the Koran are noted to show goodwill toward humanity. About seventy-five percent of Muhammad's biography (Sira) consists of jihad waged on unbelievers." Dr. Moorthy Muthuswamy (Quotes below are from N.J. Dawood's The Koran: with a Parallel Arabic Text, Penguin Classics, 1990) Let not believers make friends with infidels in preference to the faithful - he that does this has nothing to hope for from Good - except in self-defense. God admonishes you to fear Him: for to God shall all return. Quran 3:28; "The Imrans," Dawood, p. 52 God's curse be upon the infidels! Evil is that for which they have bartered away their souls. To deny God's own revelation, grudging that He should reveal His bounty to whom He chooses from among His servants! They have incurred God's most inexorable wrath. An ignominious punishment awaits the unbelievers. Quran 2:89-2:90, "The Cow," Dawood, p. 13 Lord...Give us victory over the unbelievers. Quran 2:286, "The Cow," Dawood, p. 46 "Lord...give us victory over the unbelievers." Quran 3:148, "The Imrans," Dawood, p. 67 I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers. Quran 8:12, "The Spoils," Dawood, p. 177 Fight for the sake of God those that fight against you, but do not attack them first. God does not love the aggressors. Slay them wherever you find them. Drive them out of the places from which they drove you. Idolatry is worse than carnage. Quran 2:190-2:191, "The Cow," Dawood, p. 28 When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. Quran 9:5; "Repentance," Dawood, p. 186 Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate. Quran 9:73, "Repentance," Dawood, p. 198 Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that God is with the righteous. Quran 9:123, "Repentance," Dawood, p. 206 Garments of fire have been prepared for the unbelievers. Scalding water shall be poured upon their heads, melting their skins and that which is in their bellies. They shall be lashed with rods of iron. Whenever, in their anguish, they try to escape from Hell, back they shall be dragged, and will be told: "Taste the torment of the Conflagration!" Quran 22:19-20, "The Pilgrimage," Dawood, p. 333 Muhammad is God's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another. Quran 48:29, "Victory," Dawood, p. 514 Those that deny Our revelations We will burn in fire. No sooner will their skins be consumed than We shall give them other skins, so that they may truly taste the scourge. God is mighty and wise. Quran 4:56, "Women," Dawood, p. 86 Those that make war against God and His apostle and spread disorder in the land shall be slain and crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land. Quran 5:33, "The Table," Dawood, p. 112 When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield strike off their heads and, when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly. Quran 47:4, "Muhammad," Dawood, p. 506 Let not the unbelievers think that they will ever get away. They have not the power to do so. Muster against them all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of God and your enemy... Quran 8:59-60, "The Spoils," Dawood, p. 183 Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number. God does not guide the wrong-doers. Quran 5:51, "The Table," Dawood, p. 116 Believers, know that the idolaters [non-Muslims] are unclean. Let them not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year is ended. Quran 9:28, "Repentance," Dawood, p. 190 The unbelievers among the People of the Book [Bible] and the pagans shall burn for ever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures.

Do you think I give a **** about your opinion? You've been spewing hatred out like crazy and backing it incorrectly with a bible, I could really care less what you have to say. Spewing hatred huh?It's not my opinion it's a fact.If you feel the need to debate current events then you going to have to present facts from a neutral website.If you can't post facts or if you want to say they are facts when then there is really no reason to debate with us. Maybe instead of getting pissed off,cursing,and acting stupid you can back up your so called facts with facts instead of insulting anyone who corrects what you claim is facts. I'm trying to be civil and factual.Why don't you try it sometime. |

I think all religions are rubbish. On Punishing ‘Immorality’ Leviticus 20:9 If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. 20:10 If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death. 20:13 If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death. Deuteronomy 22:20-1 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl’s virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. Exodus 35:2 For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it must be put to death. On Destroying Other People Deuteronomy 7:1-2 When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations . . . then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy. 20:10-17 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. . . . This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby. However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. On the Evil of Biblical Law Ezekiel 20:25-26 I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and laws they could not live by; I let them become defiled through their gifts—the sacrifice of every firstborn—that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the LORD. On Slavery & Subjugation of Women Ephesians 5:22-24 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Exodus 21:20-21 If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property. 1 Peter 2:13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every authority instituted among men. 2:18 Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. Leviticus 25:44-45 Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property http://home.earthlink.net/~owl233/biblequotes.htm This is all Old testament laws which have been null and void for over 2,000 years.You won't find a single church on the planet who enforces those Old testament laws no matter where you go or who you ask. Maybe next time you can post articles about people getting eaten lions in the Roman coliseums.Or maybe how people are getting tortured in dungeons in castles in Europe.Maybe you can talk about how people are slaves to the Egyptians and being forced to build the pyramids. People don't care about issues over 2,000 years ago.Women being stoned to death by Muslims in the Middle east are issues that are happening as we speak. |

The Muslim belief is not even remotely close to doing much of anything in the United States. until they see an opportunity. Explain, please. Their BOOK tells them to act like they are friends with infidels until they get an opportunity to either convert them or cause harm to them, plysically. Again...explain. Not to be cynical but have you even read a Quaran? Do it. It is ALL spelled out in their Bible! I read it and was horrified to see what it says! it DOES seriously spell out how to conduct yourself in the presence of infidels like you and me! Makes me want to gut a pig in a mosque to defile the ground! I'm fairly confident that the Quran says nothing about infidels, although it does say to kill those that attack you...but if you grab any book of any faith you can find a line that you can twist to present a threat. Christianity has been preaching that God is against homosexuality for years, even though the Christian bible says very little about homosexuality and it all pertains to a point in time when people weren't nearly as developed and different as they are today. However, the word 'infidel' does not show up in the Quran at all. Have you read the Quran? You obviously don't have the slightest idea what you are talking about.As usual you are only debating this topic for the sole reason of disagreeing with the usual people you can't stand regardless if the facts are real or not. How about doing 5 minutes of research next time. http://www.truthbeknown.com/islamquotes.htm God's curse be upon the infidels! Evil is that for which they have bartered away their souls. To deny God's own revelation, grudging that He should reveal His bounty to whom He chooses from among His servants! They have incurred God's most inexorable wrath. An ignominious punishment awaits the unbelievers. Quran 2:89-2:90, "The Cow," Dawood, p. 13 I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers. Quran 8:12, "The Spoils," Dawood, p. 177 Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that God is with the righteous. Quran 9:123, "Repentance," Dawood, p. 206 |

This article confirms what I've believed for years now. The United States IS morally banktupt, a modern Roman Empire on the brink of self-destruction. A country that advocates reducing the income of the aged and poor while increasing that of the obscenely weathy doesn't deserve the support of its citizens. I have to wonder why you are using a child molesters van in your profile photo?I bet the women on this site with children love that one. I guess I find that about as funny as a dead child along the highway because she was lured into a van on empty promises.If being a moron is laughing at someones dead child and exploiting and turning the tactics of child molesters into a joke to be laughed at on some singles site then I don't know what to tell you. |

America in Decline: Why Germans Think We're Insane By Democrats Ramshield, AlterNet Posted on December 26, 2010, Printed on December 29, 2010 http://www.alternet.org/story/149324/ As an American expat living in the European Union, I’ve started to see America from a different perspective. The European Union has a larger economy and more people than America does. Though it spends less -- right around 9 percent of GNP on medical, whereas we in the U.S. spend close to between 15 to 16 percent of GNP on medical -- the EU pretty much insures 100 percent of its population. The U.S. has 59 million people medically uninsured; 132 million without dental insurance; 60 million without paid sick leave; 40 million on food stamps. Everybody in the European Union has cradle-to-grave access to universal medical and a dental plan by law. The law also requires paid sick leave; paid annual leave; paid maternity leave. When you realize all of that, it becomes easy to understand why many Europeans think America has gone insane. Der Spiegel has run an interesting feature called "A Superpower in Decline," which attempts to explain to a German audience such odd phenomena as the rise of the Tea Party, without the hedging or attempts at "balance" found in mainstream U.S. media. On the Tea Parties: Full of Hatred: "The Tea Party, that group of white, older voters who claim that they want their country back, is angry. Fox News host Glenn Beck, a recovering alcoholic who likens Obama to Adolf Hitler, is angry. Beck doesn't quite know what he wants to be -- maybe a politician, maybe president, maybe a preacher -- and he doesn't know what he wants to do, either, or least he hasn't come up with any specific ideas or plans. But he is full of hatred." The piece continues with the sobering assessment that America’s actual unemployment rate isn’t really 10 percent, but close to 20 percent when we factor in the number of people who have stopped looking for work. Some social scientists think that making sure large-scale crime or fascism never takes root in Europe again requires a taxpayer investment in a strong social safety net. Can we learn from Europe? Isn't it better to invest in a social safety net than in a large criminal justice system? (In America over 2 million people are incarcerated.) Jobless Benefits That Never Run Out Unlike here, in Germany jobless benefits never run out. Not only that -- as part of their social safety net, all job seekers continue to be medically insured, as are their families. In the German jobless benefit system, when "jobless benefit 1" runs out, "jobless benefit 2," also known as HartzIV, kicks in. That one never gets cut off. The jobless also have contributions made for their pensions. They receive other types of insurance coverage from the state. As you can imagine, the estimated 2 million unemployed Americans who almost had no benefits this Christmas seems a particular horror show to Europeans, made worse by the fact that the U.S. government does not provide any medical insurance to American unemployment recipients. Europeans routinely recoil at that in disbelief and disgust. In another piece the Spiegel magazine steps away from statistics and tells the story of Pam Brown, who personifies what is coming to be known as the Nouveau American poor. Pam Brown was a former executive assistant on Wall Street, and her shocking decline has become part of the American story: American society is breaking apart. Millions of people have lost their jobs and fallen into poverty. Among them, for the first time, are many middle-class families. Meet Pam Brown from New York, whose life changed overnight. The crisis caught her unprepared. "It was horrible," Pam Brown remembers. "Overnight I found myself on the wrong side of the fence. It never occurred to me that something like this could happen to me. I got very depressed." Brown sits in a cheap diner on West 14th Street in Manhattan, stirring her $1.35 coffee. That's all she orders -- it's too late for breakfast and too early for lunch. She also needs to save money. Until early 2009, Brown worked as an executive assistant on Wall Street, earning more than $80,000 a year, living in a six-bedroom house with her three sons. Today, she's long-term unemployed and has to make do with a tiny one-bedroom in the Bronx. It's important to note that no country in the European Union uses food stamps in order to humiliate its disadvantaged citizens in the grocery checkout line. Even worse is the fact that even the humbling food stamp allotment may not provide enough food for America’s jobless families. So it is on a reoccurring basis that some of these families report eating out of garbage cans to the European media. For Pam Brown, last winter was the worst. One day she ran out of food completely and had to go through trash cans. She fell into a deep depression ... For many, like Brown, the downfall is a Kafkaesque odyssey, a humiliation hard to comprehend. Help is not in sight: their government and their society have abandoned them. Pam Brown and her children were disturbingly, indeed incomprehensibly, allowed to fall straight to the bottom. The richest country in the world becomes morally bankrupt when someone like Pam Brown and her children have to pick through trash to eat, abandoned with a callous disregard by the American government. People like Brown have found themselves dispossessed due to the robber baron actions of the Wall Street elite. Hunger in the Land of the Big Mac A shocking headline from a Swiss newspaper reads (Berner Zeitung) “Hunger in the Land of the Big Mac.” Though the article is in German, the pictures are worth 1,000 words and need no translation. Given the fact that the Swiss virtually eliminated hunger, how do we as Americans think they will view these pictures, to which the American population has apparently been desensitized. Perhaps the only way for us to remember what we really look like in America is to see ourselves through the eyes of others. While it is true that we can all be proud Americans, surely we don't have to be proud of the broken American social safety net. Surely we can do better than that. Can a European-style social safety net rescue the American working and middle classes from GOP and Tea Party warfare? http://www.alternet.org/module/printversion/149324 Just another useless article that would be good for toilet paper if I read it in the newspaper.As usual with the majority of the articles you post in here which are mostly commentary,they rarely are factual and are easily shot down with little reasearch. Yes there is unemployed people at around 15 million.But 154 million are still employed.That's a pretty good number considering we are in one of the worst recessions in recent history. The United states has the greatest and most powerful economy in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_United_States The economy of the United States is the world's largest national economy. Its nominal GDP was estimated to be $14.3 trillion in 2009, approximately a quarter of nominal global GDP.[1][11] Its GDP at purchasing power parity was also the largest in the world, approximately a fifth of global GDP at purchasing power parity.[1] The U.S. economy also maintains a very high level of output per capita. In 2009, it was estimated to have a per capita GDP (PPP) of $46,381, the 6th highest in the world. Historically, the U.S. economy has maintained a stable overall GDP growth rate, a low unemployment rate, and high levels of research and capital investment funded by both national and, because of decreasing saving rates, increasingly by foreign investors. It has been the world's largest national economy since 1944 and remains the world's largest manufacturer, representing 19% of the world's manufacturing output. In 2009, consumer spending, coupled with government health care spending constituted 70% of the American economy.[12] About 30% of the entire world's millionaire population reside in the United States (in 2009).[13] Furthermore, 40% of the world's billionaires are American.[14] The US is also home to the world's largest stock exchange, the New York Stock Exchange. It also boasts the world's largest gold reserves and the world's largest gold depository, the New York Federal Reserve Bank. The United States is also home to 139 of the world's 500 largest companies, which is almost twice that of any other country.[15] A large contributor to the country's success has also been a very strong and stable currency. The US dollar holds about 60% of world reserves, as compared to its top competitor, the euro, which controls about 24%. |

A question on killing

thats pretty much what Afghanistan is like. and whatll happen to you is probably what happened to them, the bigger guns and better killers own the land. Why do you think we moved in. To kill those peeps and let the people rebuild their once thriving culture. Is there really justified killing? That would be the same as justified thievery, justified raping, justified hurting of another. Murder is murder, reasons can not justify murder and or "killing" ALL killing of another is murder. We do not have the right to say who lives or who doesn't. We didn't create them nor have anything to do with the creating of them, so why would we have the power to kill something we never created? Killing in not justified unless your own life is in danger. Exodus 22:2 "If a thief is caught in the act of breaking into a house and is struck and killed in the process, the person who killed the thief is not guilty of murder. |

wow,....just wow I speak as someone who has lived on the West and East coast and has been to every major city in America and spent the majority of my life living in big cities.My negative experiences with white people is few in far between.My negative experiences with Black and Hispanics is many.All I need to prove my point is to park my car in a Hispanic or Black part of town overnight and to come back the next morning with my window broken and my stereo stolen.You really think they are going to have the slightest concern at all for my personal property?Not a chance. |

I personally don't care if President Obama gets the highest award ever awarded to a President.I am sick of this economy being in the crapper and sick of hearing bad news 24/7.I want him to accomplish things and to make this country better.If he does great things and has great ideas I will give him compliments and credit for it.I love America and want to see it great again.I want to see the economy be stronger than any others in the World.I want record job growth.If Obama does all those things then I am all for it.I don't care who does it or who gets the credit just get it done!
I'm ranting on this topic because... 1.)It was the Republicans who were pushing for the tax cuts all along and Obama getting credit for it despite his opposition to it for two years(in other words if it wasn't for the Republicans taxes would have gone to record levels). 2.)He is still farting around on stupid bills nobody really cares about. The United States economy is in critical condition and has been getting worse every month.What is Obama doing about it???Passing DADT!Passing nuclear arms treaties!Seriously these two bills are the last thing in the World the President should be worried about and working on right now.Where is his plan for the economy?Where is his plan for the jobless people?Where is his plan for the future of this country? Obama you gave the country DADT repealed that nobody really cared about except the gays and nuclear arms treaties that nobody cared about. The Republicans gave us tax cut extensions which everyone cares about,and because of that extension this economy will start getting moving again. I think Obama should step aside and let the Republicans take over for a while.Because Republicans are the ones who are listening to the people and the ones who are going to get the things done we really care about. |

advertisement ShareThis Posted: 12/08/2010 NBC - Posted by Charles Ray ABBOTSFORD, Wisconsin - A sign excluding black people from a future Abbotsford, Wisconsin business is enraging some people in the small town. It's a sign generations of people may have never seen, yet Mark Prior says it's his right to discriminate. "If I've got a problem with you it's going to be on the front of my store," says Mark Prior. Prior posted his 'No Negros Allowed' sign after he says he had some problems with black people in the past and needed to make a policy against them. Federal and State law says if the business is open to the public, prohibiting people based on race is illegal. If the man's proposed gentlemen's club was going to be a private club, then an African American historian says he could discriminate. Legalities aside, his is a sign that many say is appalling. "I'm going to stick to my guns because I think I have the right as a business owner to reject service to anyone. It's not all the black people there are just a few bad ones," Prior says of his problems in the past. Prior wants to open a gentlemen's club in a building next to the Abbotsford city hall and library. He says he moved his sign inside after someone with the city asked him to remove it. "Our mistake is sometimes we look for logic in something that is just plain stupid," says Dr. Selika Ducksworth-Lawton, an African American historian at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Ducksworth-Lawton says she feels Prior is out to get attention. She says the second he opens his business, he'll be in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. from http://www.nbcactionnews.com/dpp/news/national/strip-club-owner-posts-%E2%80%9Cno-negroes-allowed%E2%80%9D-sign#viewSingle108282021 I guess sometimes people have to say it like it is to get their point across.I can understand where this guy is coming from.I have friends who have small business's and when you have groups of young blacks or Hispanics you usually have trouble.I have seen the shoplifting,the attitudes,the giving the cashier less than what they want to pay for and walking out anyways with the product,etc. Why do you think taxi cab drivers don't want to pick up Blacks or his panics?Because half the time they don't pay and they are trouble makers. You ever go into those corners stores in cities like China town where you have Asians working the counter?They see a black guy walking in they start getting really paranoid.Talk to them a few minutes after he leaves.Nothing but bad experiences.From everything from robbery to shoplifting. I can look you straight in the eye and tell you these things because Black and Hispanic stores in their neighborhoods don't want you anywhere near them.You walk into a black neighborhood and want to shop at their record store or clothing store you are going to get treated like the plague.They don't want you there.Half of the time they look at you like they want to pull your head off your body and use it as a bowling ball. You can call me what you want.If I have a choice I would rather not be around Hispanics or Blacks except in church.The church is the one place I know I will not have issues with them.Anywhere else especially in the big cities like Chicago,NYC,LA,Detroit,and others I know my white face in their neighborhood is going to be trouble.They have their parts of town and I have mine.They have their business's and clubs they go to,I have mine.I stay away from them and they stay away from me. |

Obama toasts 'season of progress' after big wins WASHINGTON – Buoyant in political victory, President Barack Obama on Wednesday wrapped up a long, rough year in Washington by rejoicing in a rare, bipartisan "season of progress" over tax cuts, national security and civil justice. Halfway through his term, he served notice to his skeptics: "I am persistent." The president who strode on stage for a news conference cut a remarkably different figure than the Obama who, just seven weeks ago, held a similar event in which he somberly admitted he had taken a "shellacking" in the midterm elections and needed to re-evaluate. This time, Obama was about to jet off to a Hawaiian holiday vacation knowing he had secured the kind of legislative wins that rarely come so bundled as they just did, particularly in a postelection lawmaking session. Obama spoke on the same day that he found enough allies in both parties to get Senate ratification of a nuclear arms treaty with Russia, a vote watched around the world as a test of international security and presidential clout. He also signed landmark legislation to allow gays to serve openly in the military, calling himself overwhelmed by the enormity of the moment. And that was on top of other achievements, including a hard-fought deal to extend tax cuts and unemployment insurance even as it piled on more debt, a broad food security bill, a trade deal with South Korea and declarations of progress in the widening war in Afghanistan. "If there's any lesson to draw from these past few weeks, it's that we are not doomed to endless gridlock," Obama said. "We've shown in the wake of the November elections that we have the capacity not only to make progress, but to make progress together." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama;_ylt=AhAjcmr72quWVnvl9ir..siMwfIE;_ylu=X3oDMTJtdW84MGNiBGFzc2V0Ay9zL2FwL3VzX29iYW1hBGNjb2RlA21wX2VjXzhfMTAEY3BvcwMxBHBvcwMxBHNlYwN5bl90b3Bfc3RvcmllcwRzbGsDb2JhbWF0b2FzdHNz Obama is the workingest President I've seen in my life. You should read the article in full at the link I posted. His future plans are even busier. What a concept!Instead of locking Republicans out of meetings,calling them names,and telling them to get in the back of the bus you actually try working with them!Damn Obama you finally figured it out!!!!!!!It only took you two years to get your head out butt and to learn the word COMPROMISE. I seriously don't see why you people are having orgasms over Obama's bill passings.The only people happy about DADT be repealed are the gays and it could have serious problems with members of our military. Obama or the Democrats never wanted those tax cuts to be extended,he wanted them to end.Everyone knows that.It was the Republicans who fought hard to get those tax cuts extended and I am not giving Obama ANY credit for the tax credits getting extended.If you want to give credit to anyone give it to the Republicans. People are happy Obama has finally accomplished something after two years of total failures.I can see why they would be happy.Their expectations of Obama are so low now just having him speak into a microphone is a accomplishment. |

Senate Votes to Repeal DADT

I was referring to how you straight men are pushy and don't know when to quit when hitting on girls who aren't interested. Same feeling. I understand and it is no different than a gay man.Imagine being stuck with that pushy guy for 4-6 years on a ship or a submarine. Seriously if you were a gay man or woman the military is like a dream come true.I think the cut off date to join the military for age is around 38.The majority of people join when they are 18-20.Imagine being a 35 year old gay guy showering with 160 different men 90% of them are 18-20 in boot camp.Spending 3-4 months in the same room seeing everything they do.Then being shipped off somewhere where you are living with men all the time in close quarters. Gay men and women will join for 4 years just to be a pervert.Just like men would join for 4 years if they slept and showered with women. It's bad enough to stomach serving in the military under Obama.It's worse knowing you are going to be stuck with a bunch of out and proud horny homosexuals who are joining to get a free show and intimate encounters. Wow. Just wow. You're really suggesting that gay people are only joining the military during wartime, putting their lives in danger, not to server their country but just to get a free shower show. I'm finished discussing this with you. Wow???You say wow because you have never served.You think everyone joins to serve their country?That's a laugh.Those who join for the sake of serving their country is few and far between.I can remember in boot camp our Company commander asking us that very question and there was only 3 people who said they joined to serve their country.I was one of them.The majority are serving to get money to pay for college.A good portion joined because they come from small towns with no jobs.Many join for the travel and the money. I remember talking to one guy who joined simply because he saw the movie full metal jacket and wanted to get yelled at and punished by the drill instructor.I talked to several women who said they wanted to have babies but could not afford it and knew the military would pay for everything.The list goes on and on. For your information a huge majority of our currently serving military will never put their lives in harms way over this War.The majority of the people in the Navy are safe,majority of people in the Air force have nothing to worry about.The Army and Marines are the people out there on the front lines.But even then how many of them are actually fighting?Women are not allowed in combat so you can take them out.By the Army's own figures 33% of the Army hasn't even served who are ready to go into battle.Another 27.1% work in fields(such as hospitals)where they do not see combat.Even if you are in Iraq you can be serving as a cook,mechanic,secretary,etc. I am still standing behind my statement that homosexuals love the idea of the close intimate contact between hundreds of men and that is one of the reasons they join. http://ezinearticles.com/?10-Extraordinary-Reasons-Why-People-Join-the-Military&id=151112 Hence, for those who wish to know why more and more people are joining the military, here is a list of 10 amazing yet strange reasons why they wanted to join the forces. 1. Financial reasons One of the most intriguing reasons why people join the military is due to the bonuses and compensation that they will get. The reason for this high-paying job is that the military recruitment program is actually experiencing a downfall in their program. In spite of the many contentions of the military people, they cannot dismiss the fact that for the past 10 years or so, they have been trying to recruit as many people as possible to join the military but to no avail. That is why they have decided to increase the benefits and "enlistment bonuses." These "enlistment bonuses" are juts the primary benefits that they and their family can obtain even just from the start of the enlistment. Basically, the military people in the United States can obtain to as much as $70,000 as the government support in the studying of qualified service affiliates. During the retirement, the military personnel can obtain as much as $100 in a month for the repayment of "tutorial assistance." Because of these benefits, the main target of the military recruitment is the college students who might want to take their time off from schooling. The military recruitment also focuses in recruiting high schoolers who are studying in a home school program. With the remarkable financial benefits given by the military, who could resist such offer? 2. To be away from their parents Funny as it may seem but many young boys are actually enticed to join the military because they wanted to stay away from their parents. 7 out of 10 high-school- age boys stated that their parents are so strict and demanding that they wanted to steer clear from them. Hence, when opportunities like joining in the military along with the astonishing financial benefits, they would rather join the forces than to get spank and scolded by their moms. 3. A test of one's courage Joining the military is like a "daring" game, where people get to grab the chances of proving their courage and guts. Some say it is a man thing. It is as if when you join the military, you have somewhat proven to your neighborhood that you are brave enough to face Saddam or Bin Laden. 4. Good citizenship Others say that the reason why they join the military is that they wanted to prove to their beloved country that they are good citizens and that they will defend the nation for as long as they can hold a gun and kill an Iraqi. Sounds pathetic? Think again. Some people think that joining a military is like paying tribute to the wonders that the United States was able to provide them. And yet, by the time they get into the war, they claim that the tribute is no longer present. The problem is that there is no turning back. 5. To fight Al Qaeda and look for Osama Bin Laden It may sound hilarious but this is actually one of the main reasons why some people join the military. In a recent survey, almost 35% out of the 100 interviewees responded that they wanted to help the American soldiers find Osama Bin Laden and bring down the forces of Al Qaeda. In fact, this is one of the main reasons why Pat Tillman, a legendary football star, has finally decided to give up his sports career and join the military. With this reason, it is as if the military is all about the Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. 6. A good career Another reason for joining the military is that people are enticed to do so because the recruiters say it is definitely a good career joining the military. Just hope they are not lying. 7. Full time employment For most people who had been completely jobless for almost 4 years, joining the military is a very attractive decision to make. Many insist that one of their main reasons why they join the service is because of the full time employment that they can achieve. This would mean a the end of their job hunting, another four years not worrying anymore what to eat and where to buy their baby's diapers, and a secured future, maybe not for them but for their family. 8. Family tradition It is the way it is. Some people join the military because everyone in the family is doing it. Not much choice, huh? 9. To learn new skills People who have these reasons are the adventurous type. They seek newer skills that they can master, and military seems to be the only way to gain such expertise. 10. Pride Some people join the military because having those badges on their soldiers makes them proud of themselves. It is as if being a soldier is the most honorable job any one could ever have. Some of these reasons may sound hilarious, while others sound so pathetic. For those who still want to join the military with reasons that are not included here, just think before you act. As they say, whoever lights a match will definitely get burn. Mary Murtha has BLS and M. Div degrees majoring in biblical studies and ethics.

Windows Me Versus Windows XP

I found a good cure for XP. Its called ME. XP was stuck in this continuous loop. First, I tried the repair stratagem. No luck. FDISk worked better than repair. It cured the multiple operating systems both trying to load up together. It also helped when I found out that one of the cd roms was actually a DVD rom so it didn't recognize the cd in the dvd rom even though in BIOS I went to the boot manager and had the cd rom to load before the hard drive. The lady I was fixing the computer for asked if I had a good antivirus for her computer. I told her yes I call it Linux. Luckily I had the motherboard drivers on a cd of an identical system. She was curious of what motherboard drivers were. Her husband made me dinner, Fixed my van visors, Made a plate dinner for me to take home to my boarder and the wife gave me 20 dollars. I thought XP was a excellent program and I don't remember having any problems with it.I remember getting some driver conflicts from older software but it was usually a direct X problem with a older version trying to take the place of the newer version.XP was pretty constant.If you did have a problem it was most likely due to something you installed recently.You could just go back and uninstall it. I think Vista sucks beyond belief.Windows 95 is better than Vista. Anti virus programs?I have never had them and never will.I have never had a virus or a computer crash.All they do is screw up your computer.I had a few friends who wrote programs for Microsoft and they told me the virus is usually in the Anti virus program.It is released when it expires which explains why people always say they get their computer loaded with viruses when their anti virus program expires. If a page takes any more than a few seconds to load I hit the back button.If it locks up I start the task manager and end the program manually.I also delete temp files,error reports,and cookies on a weekly basis,and wipe out the hard drive every 3 or 4 months or so.I don't download anything except from Microsoft.My computer runs smooth as silk. |

There is plenty of true Christians on here.Some of us spend many hours debating Atheist in the General religion chat with our biblical knowledge.Of course there is plenty of fake Christians here as well.If you know the bible it shouldn't be too hard for you to tell who is real and who is fake.

I love when politicians tell us that telling the truth is dangerous and will kill us. What is realy killing people and putting lives in danger are the two wars started on lies. what lies are those? If Bill clinton would have had the balls to deal with Saddam and the terrorism that was addressed to him we wouldn't be in this mess either would we?Why did Clinton just slap Saddam on the wrist after the first gulf War?Why wasn't Saddam tried for the invasion of Kuwait,sending missiles into Israel,and gassing thousands of Kurds?It was a load of BS! When Saddam announced on public TV he would reward any family members $25,000 for suicide attacks on Israel or the United states that was enough justification for me. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/04/03/world/main505316.shtml (CBS) Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has raised the amount offered to relatives of suicide bombers from $10,000 per family to $25,000, U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Wednesday. Since Iraq upped its payments last month, 12 suicide bombers have successfully struck inside Israel, including one man who killed 25 Israelis, many of them elderly, as they sat down to a meal at a hotel to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Passover. The families of three suicide bombers said they have recently received payments of $25,000. That piece of garbage Saddam threatened the United states thousands of times with War and destruction.He invaded other countries,used chemical weapons on the Kurds,supported terrorism,and was nothing but a useless dangerous dictator who nearly every country in the World wanted gone. Was it worth it to invade Iraq?I think it was.How much has 9/11 cost this country?If we could go back in time and spend billions taking care of terrorist in the year 1990 isn't that much better than spending trillions after the attack in 2001?Letting Saddam live could have only made things worse as he would have surely united with these other America sucks countries and started World war 3. |
