The truth is, human nature was theirs as well, along with all its brutality toward one another and towards nature.

Ripping the beating heart out of a person's chest each morning to "save the...

I fully agree that those are problems. However, they have nothing to do with Public Law 107-243, which, as you can read for yourself, is merely Constitutional authorization by Congress for the...

Wow, you're covering a lot of ground there! :wink:

I'm curious - do they make an issue of and promote Christmas? Or Hannukah? Or do they simply remain religion-neutral and do their job of selling us the goods we want?

I don't know, so I'm asking.

lolchan - I wish I could give more than one "gratitude" to your post. That is EXACTLY what we mean by "institutionalized racism" and it is heinous. I've experienced it as well.

It just turns my...

Wow, that's a tough one...

Prejudice means to "pre-judge", as in to believe something about somebody, good or bad, prior to getting to know the truth. Racial Prejudice indicates pre-judgement of...

I thought I did deal with it directly.

True or False: Affirmative Action bestows favors upon people who were never wronged because of the color of their skin.

True or False: Affirmative Action...

That's simply not true. It provides preferential treatment based on skin color, not on research into a particular person's background and victimization status. It rewards people whose ancestors were...

Surely you jest. You've slung all sorts of disrespectful and impolite accusations and speculations about being a programmed bot or mentally ill my way without doing the...

You've just about nailed it.

What amazes me almost to tears is that NOBODY JUST ASKS ME. Look how much energy you guys are putting into these guessing games when all you have to do is openly,...

Just to be clear on something - Barry is letting me know he's going to silence me for what I consider factual discussion of Islam, which I believe in no way to be a political discussion. We're...

Guys guys guys...

If you believe something I'm posting is "crazy", provide evidence to at least show it is untrue. Why is it several posters keep repeating that "he's crazy" mantra while never,...

Hoorah to THAT! We give billions in "welfare" to foreign parties that can never be bribed to "like" us anyway. Palestinian Authority, Egypt, Pakistan.. the list is huge. Now we're spending our...

We pretty much agree on the meaning of wealth, though I might simplify it to mean "something useful or something desired, even if not particularly useful or beneficial". Pet Rocks, garden gnomes and...

So, this forum had a brief visit from someone who is not a conformist, someone who is willing to explore information to see where it leads rather than toe a particular ideological line. The reactions...

I'm familiar with how it really works. I'm simply pointing out that the sneering Democrats have ridiculed anyone claiming it is not "fully funded". There is NO reason for Obama to make the threat he...

Ah, yes, we do have it tremendously easy!

One documentary revealed that Neanderthals had an unusually high rate of broken and healed bones in the manner one sees today in rodeo clowns. That is,...

Yes, Obama said the SS checks might not go out if he didn't get his way. Why?

THE MONEY IS THERE - or so Democrats have been telling us all along as they sneered at anyone saying Social Security...

I think Obama does understand the origins of the deficit. That is why he proposes new, expensive programs like a high speed rail system to increase it. Can you imagine that? Our nation is sinking...

Wow, Star Man, that was such a loving and compassionate, respectful and aware response, I must extend my full love and respect to you!

Okay, turning off the facetiousness.

You are demonstrating...

I post in these forums in the spirit that Barry intended for these forums to be used. That is, I quote:

Heck, while we're at it, let's boycott Priuses. People die in those, too.

I'm obviously being facetious but - boycott Ocean Spray because some girl drank herself to death on Vodka? Are you...

This is fascinating stuff. I'm highly interested in anthropology and history.

So, the article claims that computer architecture "could" have allowed vote tampering without presenting proof that it "did" happen. Okay.

It is easy enough to verify whether the "man in the...

Um... it was not Republicans threatening Social Security.

It was Obama insisting the SS checks would not go out if the debt limit is not raised. That is, as you say, irrational. Social Security...
