Political correctness has nothing to do with it. Racist speach is just abhorant period and degrades whatever your argument is. I have no problem with the pirates being dealt with harshly. I do have issues with racist comments about an entire people.

As i said before no they are not justified in attacking anyone. However I strenously object to your racist characterizationof anyone. I am not an elder nor do i ever want to be one. These boards have always had a rule against racist speach. So if you can not refrain from using it, then you should not post here. Attack the pirates for their actions great , Attacking them for there ethnicity crosses the line.

first of all as i have said before they have never "put a bone in the nose" next your racist attitude is not needed here. NOR IS IT WANTED HERE. You demonstrate your ignorance not only by your ethnocentric rants (which are extremely misinformed) Please go away . There is no room for your racism here. Your claims are stupid .
as i have said before the region of Somalia is a world apart from the body modifying peoplles you describe.
Septum piercings are also still worn by the tribesmen in parts of Papua new Guinea, often adorned with plant stems and bone jewellery
and extension of the neck was performed in thailand

First of all no one said that anyone had the right to attack anyone elses ships. However your racist rant is offensive . Somolians have never extended their necks with rings (that is the Padaung tribe in northern Thailand) nor have they ever put bones through their noses. Your comment is part of the reason so much of the world view us with contempt. By the way I am an American

No Jehovah's Witness should want to go to college. Rather, work in the Watchtower Organization! Watchtower,9/1/75, p.543; Pay Attention to Yourselves and to All theFlock, 1977, p. 105..
Do not pursue higher education. There is very little time left! Make pioneer service, the full-time ministry with the possibility of Bethel or missionary service, your goal.WT 3/15/1969, p. 171
What about professional careers? The position has not changed. If you are a young person thinking about a career-forget it. The end will be "in a few years". Do you remember expecting the end by the mid-1970's. Awake!, 5/22/69, p. 15.
Professional people, doctors and lawyers are often "inconsiderate of others" due to their undesirable higher education. Awake!, 918168, p.1 0. It is foolish to want to be a doctor or a lawyer. Watchtower, 8/1/75, p.451.

Naughty Things Our Kids Have Done
by Tired of the Hypocrisy inanything your kids have done that were way naughty or could have gotten you in trouble with the ehhhl-duhrz..... once my littlest one when he was about 4 or 5 years old asked his mom for a bowl of cereal.
so, she sends his older brother to go downstairs and make them both some cereal.
so the bigger one is an real ass and decides it's time to lord it over his baby brother.

Is rejecting supernatural explanations close-minded?
by inkling inhere is an excellent video regarding the accusation that skeptics are.
"close-minded" to the supernatural and to woo-based explanations .
if you have ever been on either side of one of these conversations, .

Great video .
Since I have left the witnesses I have become much more scientific in my reasoning. I am willing to accept the supernatural if scientific proof can be provided to me . So far I have seen no proof.
