God made man in his own image. What that is color wise, who's to say??
There wouldn't be near as much prejudice in this country if those who are "persecuted" wouldn't bring it up all the damn time. Live and let live...
Queer eye for the straight guy SUCKS!!

Oops...I shouldn't have deleted my post...guess WildmaN saw it before I deleted it.....guess I was afraid the PC police would get me
But my point was is that Political Correctness sucks! Its like the only people that can be criticized or made fun of anymore are white males or Christians. And thanks to the freakin ACLU and the mainstream (ie liberal) media, its become fashionable to bash Christianity...which ain't right. Granted we're not perfect and some go overboard but I don't see Christians ramming airplanes into buildings or beheading people because they don't have the sames beliefs that they do. In fact, as a whole Christians are pretty tolerant...unlike certain other religions....

I definitely agree mike. ACLU seems to only argue against white Christians. If fact, wasn't there a case a while back where a city decorated it's city hall with a christmas tree, nativity scene, and a menora and only the Christmas tree and nativity scene was forced to be taken down? At SDSU, it seems like the trendy thing is to be really tolerant to buddhism, hinduism, you name it and assume that Christians are non-tolerant, self-righteous hypocrits. Seems like the trend follows even into the greater public arena.

Thats true Emo, colleges are really bad about that....and even in elementary school, they can't pray or say the Pledge of Allegiance but yet they have classes about all these other religions, including Islam...

Yeah I saw it, and was thinking huh where did it go? LOL I kind of figured, you deleted it for some reason. It's cool, just figured I would add to it for you anyway. As for the PC police, or whatever they are. They are more tolerant in the off-topic part of this website. "WildmaN's quote"

arguments are not necessarily reflective of ones own beliefs--my "sunday school classes" taught us how to argue the most righteous stand-up Bible thumping evangelist christians into being atheists-----i do not advertize my beliefs, but they should be obvious in the way i live and interrelate with others--christianity is not just a religion--it is a way of life--but we all do stray--not only body but in mind, as well--and there are more different types of christianity than there members of the christian faith......an d what i said earlier.
and white anglo-saxon protestant men have been being pcked on by those jealous of their holdings and all since the day there were such individuals, and itr will continue forever-----go figger.......
ps--i was raised puritan--that is what the united church of christ has always been--congregationalism is puritanism--look up the history--they proudly told us that in our sunday school
hey, carl----where's your catgun?????????
does that mean i can use it now?????????

Speaking of beliefs, the white man is being discriminated against. All of the bleeding heart liberals will make sure that we pay for the sins of our parents for eternity.

Quite the opposite, I'm in HS right now and we still say the pledge of allegiance. And I must say my teacher in world history did a great job of covering all religions, including christianity. Not to be rude but when was the last time you've gone to school( High School), because I have friends in college who take classes specificly for learning certian aspects of religions, but mostly christianity. Kids couldn't pray in school for a while, this is why I'm questioning your age.
What is a cat gun? If I don't see pictures I'll be angry.

Congrats on the guaduation emo!
Yes. liberalism is rampant on college campuses....and from my experience conservative views are often stifled....liberals are supposedly champions of freedom of speech but apparently only when it applies to their views.
I remember when I lived in NC in '04, they had an article in the local paper that said that out of the 81 professors in the Philosophy Dept. at Duke, 78 were Democrats! And Duke is considered a "conservative" school. I'm sure UNC Chapel Hill is even worse....Chapel Hill is kinda like the Berkeley of the East Coast....

Oh yea, of course there is libritarian asses. One teacher one of my friends had said Jesus was a drama queen, funny but I think it's witty satire. No college professor is going teach the virtues of Christianity because they're not Christian, they're english and history teachers and will pick the **** apart word for word. You wouldn't want someone like me trying to teach virtues of christianity, or atleast I hope not. You've got to figure, nomatter which religion it is they will always get picked apart, look at some of the religions such as Scientology, you can rip that religion a new *** by just reading how it was invented. My point is anything that is a strong influence on society will be put under a microscope and be picked apart, we just have to deal with what different people say.
