21Reading the Awake is EQUAL TO A 4 YR COLLEGE DEGREE--
by JT inbelow is the basic view of jw towards education and in 30yrs theirs views really have not changed much- a tweak here and a tweak there, but after all is said and done you can still get a 4 yr degree from reading the awake smile
1969 "in view of the short time left, a decision to pursue a career in this system of things is not only unwise but extremely dangerous .. many young brothers and sisters were offered scholarship or employment that promised fine pay.
however, they turned them down and put spiritual interests first.

Actually Pistoff,
I don’t think he was trolling. I agree that FDR was one of our better presidents but he did skirt some constitutional issues. Just ask the Japanese. Also to attempt to make the case that FDR could not be like Hitler because he was to the left if a flawed argument. If you go far enough left the government becomes indistinguishable for the far right. Case in point, Nazi Germany is equivalent to Stalinist Russia.
Point being FDR was a good president, but he skirted the constitution much more the GW ever has. A different argument would be was it necessary.

It's fairly clear the filmmakers want us to see similarities between then and now. When, in 1933, the Reichstag is burned, Hitler blames Dutch communists for the blaze (though Nazis themselves started it) and pointedly labels them "terrorists." Once he becomes chancellor, Hitler uses the threat of "terrorism" to justify the suspension of virtually all civil rights, including freedom of the press.
The implication is pretty clear. So while the man never said 'bush is hitler' his comparison is there.

It probably has something to do with the slightly different sub-cultures that black/white people tend to grow up in. White familes (mid-class) tend to suppress anger and not know how to deal with it; create a hostile enough environment with enough suppressed rage it comes out in messed up ways. Blacks, unfourtunatly and for many reasons sometimes beyond their control, make up a disporpotinate segment of the 'poorer lower-class' segment of society where anger usually comes to the surface quickly and is not suppressed. As blacks start to migrate economically and form a larger middle class you will probably see more black serial killers. I would be interested to see a breakdown of the economic class that most serial killers come from, it might be enlightening.
or maybe white people are just crazy.

I liked your web site too. Currently I am working on my web skills by taking a JavaScript class, last semester I had HTML. Can I ask how you made your page? Did you hand code everything, including the jscript, or did you have an editor to help? And if you used an editor which one do you prefer? I have both Dreamweaver and FP2000, but I do must of my stuff in editplus (hand code).

There are many external and internal reasons for the lowered test scores of the ‘black’ community. I think one external factor is the unfair way money is budgeted for the public school systems. In California, the public schools get their money based on the property taxes of the local area. Rich areas tend to have high property taxes with low population density (fewer students). Poor areas are just the opposite, lots of students very little money. What this causes in effect is an uneven playing field. I think if all schools were funded, equally it would help solve this problem to some extent. In addition, if you break down test scores along the lines of their parent’s income you will find that class (read income) plays a huge role, in this possibly more than race.
No one race’s inherent IQ is higher than any other groups (which is not what lark was saying) but their subculture couple with increased institutional obstacles will cause one group to score lower than the rest.

Lilith ?!
by Vivamus indid you ever heard of lilith?
not as an extension of adam, but the creation was dual, man and woman were one, almost a bisexual being.
but then adam *sigh, typically men* tried to dominate her, and she said in modern english "f*ck off, i'm leaving you", bravo lilith!

WoMD ... so where are they?
by Simon innow, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!
perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.
now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.

Who cares the worlds a better place now. I remember being told so many things too:
- 100k's kia,
- the Iraqis would hate us,
- the arab 'street' would go nuts
- terrorist attacks at home
- etc
- etc.
looks like both side may have been wrong about some things (of course some people were more wrong than others by about four magnitudes of 10), but I stand by what I said before the world is better now.
