I will pray for her, Anthy My parents are both pretty sick right now. My dad actually ended up in the emergency room last wednesday because he was so congested he had trouble breathing. (I found out about this today :roll: ). Also, I was eating dinner with them that night... and I really can't affor...

I just want to know what was up with the Pompeii episode... it had Amy before she was Amy, and now The Doctor before he was The Doctor. Who else was in that episode? :)

Now I just want to know if he's the twelfth or the thirteenth, and if he's the thirteenth, is he the last? :)

When I get a chance, I'll send you a PM.

And it doesn't sound like you know anything about the Paula Deen case, so you might want to look that one up too.

I believe you mean Margaret SANGER. And we are discussing abortion and related issues in the Roe v Wade thread. Of course, my apologies. And no, Paula Deen was not forced to think a certain way, she just had her life destroyed because she told the truth about the use of a word that frankly has no b...

Planned Parenthood, yov, Margaret Sayer... look it up. And there's no misinformation in what I said, only facts. If I have time I'll look at the study you presented. JS, the sainthood comment was one referencing a side-issue that may or may not interest anyone, but it relates to the destruction of a...

I also didn't comment on the comment about the tragedy that is the abortion rate in Black communities. This is ironic on multiple levels... Democrats have elevated single mother status to near sainthood while still demanding the ability to have free abortions for everyone, especially minorities... T...

I didnt ignore it, I just didn't respond. There are not enough details there to tell me how relevant it might be. I sent out resumes for two years and got one response... so I'm not sure Id trust any data regarding such things. It also sounds like a highly unethical study IMHO, but thats probably a ...

education is never scary, hence my desire to educate people on things they should actually care about, rather than things like racism, nuclear proliferation and climate change. Forcing people to think a certain way (you know by destroying their lives if they don't behave perfectly... see Paula Deen)...

Sorry, JS, I was still half asleep. The civil rights movement went against the democrats because they could not longer openly oppress black people any more. The republicans put a stop to that. Of course it's more complicated that "white people hate black people." That's why the rhetoric Ob...

There was already violence going on in response to the verdict. Ignoring it and saying "If I see any violence..." is absurdity at its highest level. Prim, I don't know how you could pinpoint a time when it stopped being a problem in the way I meant. A lot of it has to do with the change in...

What is incendiary? There's a difference between trying to get people to stop being violent in response to an outcome of a trial that had NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE... and telling everyone else that that violence is understandable and essentially justifiable. The first is what a responsible leader woul...

Really, and what does acknowledging that experience entail? Are you suddenly not going to lock your door when you see someone you don't trust? Are you going to go around admonishing people who want to feel safe and lock their door? Such an action has nothing to do with race, and you can't possibly m...

Sorry, I meant a problem of White people hating black people. It's just not true. There are plenty of racial problems, most of them perpetuated by the democratic party. So how do you explain, say, blacks getting more convictions and longer sentences than whites? Is that one of the problems perpetua...

Obama's views on Race

I find it strange the topics that are avoided on this board, and I feel compelled to bring this up now, as it is in the news a great deal. Below is President Obama's speech from 2008 about Race, and race relations in the United States. I believe it is one of the greatest speeches on race we have eve...

Been a while since I came here... but I'm in a serious low point of motivation... and I could use some spiritual help. I feel like I've bitten off more than I can handle, and I am struggling with even maintaining my workload. I've also been having some pretty significant anxiety attacks that seem to...

Buffy is an amazing show, I can watch all seven seasons in a row and never get bored, although some of the first season I have seen too many times now :).

It, along with Stargate, are shows I can watch all of without wondering why they kept the show going.
