  alice laughed: "there's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe impossible things.".

  "i daresay you haven't had much practice," said the queen.

  "when i was younger, i always did it for half an hour a day.

  the age of enlightenment is worth a good look.

  (the rise of reason, science, art, philosophy replacing superstition and 'belief.

  ")for millennia emperors and popes enforced compliance in our world.

  Wow Giordano! You covered it quite deftly! Common sense tells you that it is a pharisaical structure....and a doomsday cult. They may hide behind the "nobody knows the day or the hour" but over the years have certainly hinted loudly at their predictions which became failed predictions. Nowadays the whole pedophile hiding thing is just outrageous. Glad our new friend saw through the web and extricated himself.

  Sweet memories...lions and snakes...! My best memories surround a beautiful museum like home and the woman who was a great grandmother to me, although not biologically related. We'd play scrabble, Chinese checkers....make cakes on Saturday mornings...popcorn for supper....and I got a bit of holiday festivities with her which was great being in a witness family. She greatly influenced my thinking and persona for which I am so very grateful.

  I agree with petezahut...cult behavior. We are shining stars of God's choice...the rest of you are devils seed....and you are worse than that even if you deviate from our rules and regulations.

  in order to save tony morris the trouble of having to get up early on sunday morning's and driving to a liquor store i was thinking that perhaps if i had delivered, to the below address, a bottle of scotch on the first day of every month.

  perhaps with a nice card attached, ' enjoy the scotch br.

  and sis.

  Why do we see only brown-colored people in USA detention centers?

  by Wonderment in

  1. social
  2. current

  why are for the most part brown-colored people held in detention centers?

  where are the rest of illegal immigrants?i think the question is valid -- as one website noted: "the u.s. government does not maintain reliable demographics of who is in immigration detention..." (https://www.freedomforimmigrants.org/detention-statistics).

  a canadian woman not too long ago said to me (spontaneously - i did not bring up the subject) the following words when she heard the live tv news broadcast, which dealt about the immigrants being held at dozens of detention centers in usa: "i am canadian, and i have been living here illegally for 29 years.

  Because the current administration is racist. And the crackdown is aimed at the southern border of the U.S.......most seeking a better safer life here are darker complected than white supremacists.

  How did Adam and Eve survive when kicked out of the Garden of Eden?

  it’s funny how a simple question like this is something that the dubs never even consider.

  my dad asked this question to a couple of witnesses and they wondered for a minute and said; .

  “i never thought about it, i’ll have to ask the elders”.

  It does present a dilemma to the 21st century mind....apparently the verdure presented sufficient grazing. We are so far removed from foraging on the land it is difficult to imagine. And we have no way of knowing what plants grew outside Eden and what their nutritional value was.....we may never know the answer to this question.
