I kinda miss some friends of the past. I don't miss many if any people elementary or middle school. I miss my friends from high school though. I keep in contact with a few of them. For college, I kind miss them already. I've been going through a lot of nostalgia recently while in graduate school. I moved across the country, so it's a big culture shock for me. I don't fit in much in any way. I have a dark sense of humor, don't care much for political correctness, and my politics are drastically different from everyone elses'.

I love watching other people dictate to others what they can or can't put into their own body. And then they claim they love freedom. What a joke. Long live paternalism in all its forms.

How ambiguous is the term hate speech? These are my thoughts on hate speech: http://www.jonathanrauch.com/jrauch_articles/in_defense_of_prejudice/

No one actually chooses to be in these religions. Your parents influence your decisions early in life. Or a state of which you belong to (where it is pretty much considered family to a person anyway.) Most people never actually choose to be christian but through the years had the idea planted in their heads when they were children. A lot of people don't even get the choice and that influences what they will do in life for those implanted beliefs as well. A parent should not decide the fate of their children or do incredibly stupid things like naming their child: moses, christian, mesiah(in the news recently), islam, Muhammad, etc. to the point where they almost have to stick to one forcibly.TigerSpiderman

Wow, you're a tad ignorant of nurture concepts aren't you? What's next, you gonna ask parents to avoid "indoctrinating" their own kids in the two parent or single parent households? Let's just do away with any societal or cultural influences until they are 18 while you're at it. Makes perfect sense. :roll:

P.S. I chose a different denomination when I was 15 with threats of being kicked out of my house. I chose to stay Christian at 18. I still exercised my free will after considering alternatives. And where the heck do you think converts come from? And where to atheists come from? Think about that for a second.

Today at school lunch, I simply asked my black friend if he was related to this other black chick because they looked alike IMO. Immediatley after saying that, he and the others (who were white, if that matters) got all pist and said "HUH WHY YOU SAYN THAT? YOU RACIST!?" So now he told the office on me and I have to go in tommorow and explain myself.

Do people know what racism is anymore? I asked hima sincere question. I didn't even use the term "black" (some people consider that offensive for so reason). All I did was point at the other person and asked if he was related. It not like I said "HEY YOU RELATED TO THAT *n word* OVER THERE?" This world, man.

By my freshman year of high school I had mastered the race card at a school 50/50 black/white. And guess what, I'm white. Don't let anyone ever dominate the race card. You must be prepared to seize it for yourself. Turn the tables young padone. I can pull my races out at the drop of a hat and win every time: Irish, Scotish, English, German, French, Dutch, Swedish, and Native American. The best one of all? I pull out the card of being WHITE. That's right. I win by claiming whiteness. I prefer a challenge. And it catches people off guard. It really makes them consider who really is the racist.

Yours truly,

Pro Race Card User

It surprisingly doesn't pay well from my understanding. You can make a decent amount, but it isn't close to six figures.

There is this fat woman at my job that has a thing for me and she is huge. Frankly she has a nice looking face and she has a good sense of fashion and smells good...........but she has a muffin top and that is nasty. You guys here seems pretty liberal is fat now okay ??

Rule of thumb: For men, looks generally have about 60-90% to do with attraction to a woman. Besides, how fat is this woman really?

Isn't Jesus the son of God and/or a prophet but not God himself?

Aljosa23

In Christianity, Jesus is God. The concept of the Trinity is complex, and regarded as a mystery by Christianity. Our theological knowledge of it is quite limited. Best way to sum up this knowledge is the Nicene Creed without the filioque clause (a later and controversial addition up until this day).

[QUOTE="deeliman"][QUOTE="GazaAli"]What I mean by that is if you start up a company and it became very successful, you will earn a lot of money yes. But you will never be able to lawfully and ethically earn billions of dollars, its just not possible. Though we can disagree on what should be lawful and/or ethical to an extent.gamerguru100
Of course you can lawfully earn all that money, it doesn't happen often but it can happen. And as for ethically, well, that's something subjective, some people will find it unethical, and some people won't.

Whether it's ethical or lawful or not, one person doesn't need billions of dollars. That could be used to lift hundreds of thousands of poor people out of poverty. In the US, 3 million dollars should be enough for life assuming you live withing your means and don't go blowing it on a million dollar house and a $200,000 yacht.

I got news for you, most poor people are poor for a pretty good reason. At least that is the way it is in the USA. Sounds heartless, I know.
