education frees your mind and makes you so much more aware definitely should be valued, whether you learn it from a professor, peers or family it's one thing no one can take away from you
I really want Obama to win for our future. I will also have some "polite" comments to post on various political forums.
That's the bottom line. Once you possess that capacity and capability to handle yourself in a way that leaves no doubts about your fastidiousness in dealing with the things you encounter in life then that is what matters.
BT2005,did you know Micheal Savage is leaving? So is Neal Boortz who is retiring. Hope Limbaugh and Hannity would do the same. I would love to hear those jokers on Wednesday morning and afternoon on the Obama re-election. When there is hard work on the polls a Bush/Gore nailbiter will not happen.
GQ Brotha,Obama Derangement Syndrome has gone into overdrive along with Romnesia. They are so desparate they are using everything to get rid of him. If the GOP ever goes to lynch him legally like the impeachment of Clinton there will be a big pushback.
Black tiger I am with you. I was gonna sit out this election but a lot subtle racism comments toward Obama has gotten under my skin and fuck it I am going to go to early voting this week and circle Obama's name. I am disgusted by the level racism especially from supposedly the highly educated crowd.
Oh...allow me please... 1) The underwear. Magical drawers that provide an all-hazard barrier and remind the faithful not to have sexual relations with anyone other than one's spouse. They come in a variety of lengths, materials, and styles...yes, you can still get the "union suit version" with the flap in back. 2) Constant turmoil over what is "allowed" and what is not. etc. ... For example, the "approved" list of Sabbath day activities varies widely. Can you watch TV? Only the BYU channel? How about the news? Should your kids be playing outside? In shorts??? Can you have a family picnic at the lake? No approved list from SLC means everyone "rolls their own"...and therefore also comdemns others for Sabbath Day breakage. 3) Word of Wisdom. Similar to #2. What can you eat/drink? What is "allowed" and what is not? Energy drinks OK but coffee is bad? Tea is bad but diet coke is ok? Herbal teas? 4) Claims of being the "restored" gospel [all other religions are false] founded on ancient (but lost) "truths" on one hand....but completely amendable to changing doctrines depending on the prevailing political winds (e.g. polygamy, blacks and priesthood, etc) on the other. 5) Follow a modern day prophet, seer, and revelator that doesn't prophesy, "see", or reveal anything. As far as being a "Seer", the church is in possession of previously, prophet-utilized seer stones that remain hidden from public view and are assumed unused. 6) Claim to have dismissed polygamy, but believe in polygamy in the hereafter. In fact, allow some men to be "sealed" [married] to more than one wife with the intent of living polygamously (if that is even a word?) in the hereafter. 7) Claim that the Bible is corrupt, but unable to identify which chapters and verses are the corrupt ones. 8) Have billions of dollars in assets and cash, but want members to clean the bathrooms in the church buildings. 9) Send 19 year olds out on two year "missions" with little preparation in refuting well-known and easily "googlable" arguments against Mormonism. 10) Claim that the Book of Mormon is about ancient Americans but have no legitimate archeaological evidence. Several theories exist, but the "prophet" seems unable to confirm which is correct. 11) Pressure their young men to marry at 21. 12) Pressure their young women to marry young 21 year old men who have returned from "missions". 13) Think male facial hair is disrepectful and unprofessional. 14) Want to be considered unique (all other religions are false), but have re-designed their meetinghouses and have a national ad campaign to seem more mainstream. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_people_and_Mormonism ^^^^^^^ the part about black people being cursed with dark skin cuz god hates them so they should hate them too...
