The only stsaement i am making is that certain leaders came from nowhere and turned out to be amazing in their own right..good or bad..if you wish to make more of it, its your predisposal not my intention..

Infanticide? Aedes, can we get a knowledgeable medical perspective to break this claim; I'm afraid my handling will be clumsy.

Election night was a blast. Me and the crew partied late into the night. About two in the morning, however, things turned sour. I'll omit all of the details, but essentially I witnessed some remarkable acts of racism. There exists a significant minority of people who, due to their radical ideology, are extremely, violently upset about the election results. Obama's victory is a milestone, a testament to our ability as a nation to move forward and improve. Obama's victory is also a polarizing event, pushing racists and the most extreme fundamentalists into increasingly remote corners of our social universe. This is dangerous. The more isolated extremists become, the more dangerous they become.

So, I suggest we try to develop some unity with our nation's racists and extreme fundamentalists. For all of our sake, we need to come together in spite of disagreement. This responsibility is ours - yours if you are not one of those racists or extreme fundamentalists. We have to make the effort to reach out to the angry. Put the power of moral example to work, folks. When you see hate, send some love.

"I could be the first black president. I mean I don't think anyone would hurt me; some people might want to hurt me, but I don't think they'd touch me. Because my vice president would be Mexican for a little 'insurance.' I mean you can shoot me, but you're just gonna open up the border."

Maybe Obama should have taken Dave Chappelle's advice and picked Bill Richardson as his VP:




This was pretty funny when it was a hypothetical situation in stand-up comedy, but now things are a bit more serious.

The "dangerous radicals" are out there; we recently read about those two guys in tennessee who had a half-baked plan to assassinate Obama along with other blacks (they seemed hateful enough to do it). There was also this threat made by a high-ranking KKK member:

Obama Assassination


I'm all for encouraging mutual respect-- we can disagree but shouldn't hate. Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything you can do to stop these types of extremists, save for letting education and experience show them not to judge others as inferior from a young age, or beefing up security to prevent their plots once they are older and set in their ways.

I don't agree with a lot of Obama's stances, neither do I agree with McCain's. Yet, like I think many others in my position are, I am eager to see what he actually will do in office now that he has won it, and at least can celebrate the inherent achievement in a black man becoming president. Even though I think many voters are uninformed and chose Obama for the wrong reasons, this signifies that the country has made progress against the racism of slavery that has lingered in this country since its inception. Now, about 150 years after black people were last considered to be only property in this country, one has become the leader of the executive branch...

I hope the extremists can be caught before they succeed in taking matters into their own hands. As for changing their minds, I wouldn't bet on it.

Let me explain something....

Their is LAW in jail......And on the streets..

Who ever should try...They would wish they were dead.......They would beg to die!

Right. I don't consider racist gangs in the street and prisons to be upholding or abiding by any type of "law". Surely somebody who would actually make such an attempt would know that it would probably be their last action or last free action made in this world...that hasn't stopped these nuts in the past, and it apparently wasn't going to stop the 2 guys in tennessee who were planning to die violently at the end of their rampage.

A strong trait of a religious person is usually inflexibility of mind regarding religion, because most of religions teach than even thinking about the possibility of the religion being wrong is a sin. Then after decades with that thinking it becomes pretty much impossible to change it.

So then religious persons come up complaining about things than seen to be fine to atheists/agnostics, these have no option but to just keep hammering the political nail, trying to convince the religious persons is probally harder

Edit: Ops... tread has 4 pages, not one I hope I didnt repeat anything...

I was talking to my minister about this and he is sickened by it. He said (and I agree) that is it degrading to the Christian community to not accept another faith, even atheism. I will never understand you atheists and not picking a religion. There are tones out there.

I didnt meant they are the same, I meant that they usually have similar positions.

Agnostics arent people that believe in god but dont know what it is, they are people that believe you cant know if god exists or not, so you cannot assume any position.
