  Re: "Kill Whitey!"...

  Did you notice that during the L.A. Riots of 1992 that white neighborhoods did not go up in flames?

  "Torching neighborhoods, looting businesses and assaulting passersby, the community found solace in a senseless bout of self-destruction."

  The whites living in neighborhoods like mine (Santa Monica) did not need to worry much about their property or lives being harmed. They simply watched on TV as the rioters shot themselves in the foot, so to speak.

  I have more to say about all this, but I would welcome any one else's comments too.

  * He was one of Gunnar Myrdal's six staff members for the study of race relations that resulted in the monumental two-volume An American Dilemma in 1944

  * Bunche helped draft the trusteeship provisions of the U.N. Charter and assisted in organizing the Division of Trusteeship at the United Nations, becoming its director in 1947

  * That same year, he became secretary to the U.N. Special Committee on Palestine and acting mediator in 1948 after the assassination of the first mediator, Count Folke Bernadotte of Sweden

  * Bunche earned high praise from all quarters for his deft handling of the armistice negotiations that ended the Arab-Israeli conflict in 1949 and won him his Nobel Peace Prize.

  * He became the U.N. under secretary general in 1955 and directed U.N. peacekeeping missions in the Suez in 1956, in the Congo in 1960, and in Cyprus in 1964.

  and by the way,

  # It was not until the Voting Rights Act of 1965, signed by President Lyndon Johnson over 100 years after the Civil War ended, that it became illegal to stop Blacks from voting.

  Kangaroos and the Fossil Record

  by Gedanken in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  creationists like to attack evolution by attacking the "fossil record" as being incomplete; i.e., if something existed, for example, transitional states, then we should see evidence of them in the fossil record.

  so, their argument is that if something existed, then we should see it in the fossil record.. let's take a look at the case of kangaroos.

  we must assume, if we accept the notion of a global flood, that noah collected two kangaroos for his menagerie in the ark.

  Speaking of which, I have read that there are no fossils of any of the great apes. I cannot remember where I read this...Can anyone comment or confirm this?

  it was the point i decided to become agnostic.

  i found my final stumbling block in my search for god.

  i asked (myself as well as others): why would god create carnivorous animals before sin?

  Interesting comment there, rem...

  by the way, have you read Carl Jung's Answer to Job? He makes some interesting comments about the nature of Satan (he's likened to a part of God's conscience which God wants to expel from his omniscient mind), God becoming man in two ways (not just one), and the divine quaternity (like the four faces of the angelic creatures in Ezekiel).

  I just finished it...I highly recommend it.

  Carbon Dating

  sorry, i don't have time to search the site right now.

  this bloody french isp is rubbish, and i keep getting dropped when i try anything that takes more than 10 seconds.

  has the society ever come up with any intelligent reasoning to counter the ages that carbon dating/science has given to various artifacts, i.e.

  There was an article in Scientific American recently about 'why smart people believe stupid things'. Quite an amusing yet eye-opening article it was. I think that most people here understand this phenomenon to a certain extent. The obvious example is the cult mentality.

  Cult members are, on the average, average. No, they are not any less intelligent.

  Take a look at the Church of Scientology's website...they will tell you all about the well respected physicians, lawyers, scientists, etc etc etc in their ranks.

  John Travolta is a member of that church. Yes, it is a cult.

  So the question for all of us is not so much, 'what do you believe?'...but, rather, 'why?'

  Hooberus, you are straining your brain to continue believing what you believe. If I were doing the same thing, my brain would be hurting. You see, I don't have any psychospiritual issues riding on my belief that dinosaurs went extinct long before humans lived. If evidence is revealed which shows otherwise, I will change my belief.

  By the way, in my teenage years, I let it slip to someone in my old congregation that I had seen the movie Four Rooms. You better believe she looked it up in the paper and told my mother what she had found.

  But I never could lie about stuff like that.
