Flight 93 came on A&E last night.

I have been meaning to buy it. Corey Taylor is an awesome vocalist. Do you think it's better than their first cd?

Hank Hill

That's my favorite rap album. My favorite song on it has to be Ambitionz Az A Ridah. I like No More Pain also.

The Best of Pantera

Yeah your right. That was pretty sick too though.

It seems like I saw something like that on Ripley's Believe It Or Not a few years ago. I think that they said it came from drinking water with something in it. It showed people pulling it out of their ankles. It was pretty weird.

well good for you, nice to see that stereotypes are still widely used and accepted. I don't recall ever saying that all immigrants do that. I just said that I see it a lot. But if you want to call me racist then go ahead.

Yeah, I actually do see that a lot. I was being sarcastic. Didn't really mean that. I wasn't.:whistle:

Yeah, I actually do see that a lot.

I want to go see it this weekend.

State Senate Supports Immigrant Walkout On Monday AP) SACRAMENTO California's state senators on Thursday endorsed Monday's boycott of schools, jobs and stores by illegal immigrants and their allies as supporters equated the protest with great social movements in American history. By a 24-13 vote that split along party lines, the California Senate approved a resolution that calls the one-day protest the Great American Boycott 2006 and describes it as an attempt to educate Americans "about the tremendous contribution immigrants make on a daily basis to our society and economy"It's one day ... for immigrants to tell the country peacefully, 'We matter ... (we're) not invisible,'" said Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero, D-Los Angeles, the resolution's chief author. She said immigrants make up a third of California's labor force and a quarter of its residents. Opponents said the nonbinding resolution was misleading because it failed to mention a goal of the boycott was pressuring Congress to legalize millions of undocumented people. "It is a disingenuous effort to put the government of California on record supporting open borders," said Sen. Bill Morrow, R-Oceanside. The boycott, also called "A Day Without Immigrants," grew out of huge pro-immigrant marches across the United States in recent weeks. Organizers are urging people to stay home from school and jobs and avoid spending money on Monday to demonstrate their importance to the U.S. economy. California's top education official appeared with school officials in several cities Thursday to urge students to stay in school on Monday. State Superintendent for Public Instruction Jack O'Connell encouraged students interested in the immigration issue to voice their opinions by participating in protest activities but only after attending their classes. "If students need to protest, they should feel free to do so after school," O'Connell told students and reporters at San Jose High Academy. "We want students to exercise free speech, but not at the expense of their education." Rallies are planned for Monday in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Gardena, Bell, Santa Ana, Sacramento, San Jose, Oakland, Concord and other cities. School officials in San Leandro, meanwhile, said Thursday that rising tensions over the immigration issue may have contributed to a series of brawls between Hispanic and black teenagers. Over a dozen San Leandro High School students were taken into custody Wednesday following the fights that started on campus and spilled over into the parking lot of a nearby convenience store. While educators theorized that the stress children of immigrants are under while the immigration debate roils may have played a role in the , students said that racial tensions predated recent developments. Several senators equated the protest with the civil rights movement of the 1960s and other major events in American history. Segregation was ended in part because of the public bus boycott by blacks in Montgomery, Ala., in 1955, said Romero. Sen. Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles, likened the debate over immigrant rights to the fights over slavery, women's suffrage, the internment of Japanese during World War II, and the Vietnam War. America wouldn't have been created without illegal action, said Sen. Richard Alarcon, D-Van Nuys. "They dumped a bunch of tea in Boston harbor, illegally. God bless them," he said. But Sen. Dave Cox, R-Fair Oaks, said lawmakers should not encourage lawbreakers even if they disagreed with the law. "It is irresponsible for this body to advocate that students leave school for any reason," Cox said. He introduced a bill that would require a special school attendance audit on Monday, so that schools would not receive state aid for any student who was truant. School funding is based on attendance levels. O'Connell said the state would not grant waivers to schools that lose funding if students were absent while out protesting. The debate was personal and emotional for some senators. Sen. Nell Soto, D-Pomona, recalled watching as a child as immigration police swept up brown-skinned farmworkers, "not even asking if they were legal or illegal." Sen. Martha Escutia, D-Norwalk, described how her grandfather remained in the country illegally after overstaying a work permit during the 1940s, when he picked fruits and vegetables while American men were fighting World War II. "This happened 60 years ago. And you know what? The story still continues," Escutia said, choking up as she described her 11-year-old son asking her about the controversy. She said the Great American Boycott should be renamed "the Great American Secret, and that is we all rely on someone who is here illegally." Sen. Tom McClintock, R-Thousand Oaks, while citing immigrants' contributions, said the nation's goal should be assimilation: "From many people, one people, the American people. One race, the American race." Only in California:wacko:

I don't know if this has already been posted or not. LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Pro-immigration activists say a national boycott and marches planned for May 1 will flood U.S. streets with millions of Latinos to demand amnesty for illegal immigrants and shake the ground under Congress as it debates reform. Such a massive turnout could make for the largest protests since the civil rights era of the 1960s, though not all Latinos -- nor their leaders -- were comfortable with such militancy, fearing a backlash in Middle America. "There will be 2 to 3 million people hitting the streets in Los Angeles alone. We're going to close down Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Tucson, Phoenix, Fresno," said Jorge Rodriguez, a union official who helped organize earlier rallies credited with rattling Congress as it debates the issue. Immigration has split Congress, the Republican Party and public opinion. Conservatives want the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants classified as felons and a fence built along the Mexican border. Others, including President George W. Bush, want a guest-worker program and a path to citizenship. Most agree some reform is needed to stem the flow of poor to the world's biggest economy. "We want full amnesty, full legalization for anybody who is here (illegally)," Rodriguez said. "That is the message that is going to be played out across the country on May 1." Organizers have timed the action for May Day, a date when workers around the world traditionally have marched for improved conditions, and have strong support from big labor and the Roman Catholic church. They vow that America's major cities will grind to a halt and its economy will stagger as Latinos walk off their jobs and skip school. Teachers' unions in major cities have said children should not be punished for walking out of class. Los Angeles school officials said principals had been told that they should allow students to leave but walk with them to help keep order. In Chicago, Catholic priests have helped organize protests, sending information to all 375 parishes in the archdiocese. CRITICS CHARGE INTIMIDATION Chicago activists predict that the demonstrations will draw 300,000 people. In New York, leaders of the May 1 Coalition said a growing number of businesses had pledged to close and allow their workers to attend a rally in Manhattan's Union Square. Large U.S. meat processors, including Cargill Inc., Tyson Foods Inc and Seaboard Corp said they will close plants due to the planned rallies. Critics accuse pro-immigrant leaders of bullying Congress and stirring up uninformed young Latinos by telling them that their parents were in imminent danger of being deported. "It's intimidation when a million people march down main streets in our major cities under the Mexican flag," said Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman volunteer border patrol group. "This will backfire," he said. Some Latinos have also expressed concerns that the boycott and marches could stir up anti-immigrant sentiment. Cardinal Roger Mahony of the Los Angeles archdiocese, an outspoken champion of immigrant rights, has lobbied against a walkout. "Go to work, go to school, and then join thousands of us at a major rally afterword," Mahony said. And Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who has long fought for immigrant rights, has said he expects protesters to be "lawful and respectful" and children to stay in school. In Washington on Thursday, immigrant-rights activists brushed off talk of a backlash. "This is going to be really big. We're going to have millions of people," said Juan Jose Gutierrez, director of the Latino Movement USA. "We are not concerned at all. We believe it's possible for Congress to get the message that the time to act is now."

Affirmative action is simply reverse discrimination.

God did not create us as we are today. He created us in his image, out of love, to commune with us and to love us. He did not, however, create us as robots or programmable entities...we have our own free wills. We, after creation, chose to reject Him as our creator and followed our own wills. He, therefore, rejected us from His presence and left us alone to live for ourselves (what we wanted). That seperation has been passed on from generation to generation. But out of love for us He provided a way out. First through Abraham and Moses...but only for a certain group of people that had to follow laws and rituals to make up for the seperation (sin) between them and God. But He again, chose to provide another way...this time for all of creation through Jesus Christ. It is an easy way out of eternal seperation from God (hell). Through faith (believing and trusting in Him to save you and lead you) we will be saved. It is said in the Bible that yes, the road to hell is wide and straight, because it is much easier to trust yourself, your own futile plans, your own lack of knowledge, than to trust someone else (Jesus). It is a pride issue. God does not send people to hell out of hate or anger...he is justfied in doing so. I think we have screwed up as a Christian culture preaching God as only 'loving' and 'merciful' (because that is much easier to hear I guess) but God is also just and jealous. He is the judge and jury over the world, because he made it! Thanks for your answer.

And I don't remember anyone bashing past Presidents in this thread until you chimed in with an incredibly intelligent response. You obviously had a right wing response, but the current right wing President has done drugs also. It's a moot point. Moving on. Well I apologize for "bashing" Clinton. It was incredibly uncalled for. What was I thinking trying to prove my point that Clinton wasn't the greatest president America has ever had? Anyways, like you said, moving on.

Movies and songs like these are poisoning society. The people who make these movies or write these songs are trying to push their belief that homosexuality is ok onto society.

Or a coke snorting alcoholic. :coocoo: I don't recall mentioning Bush as America's greatest president in any of my posts. :hmmm:

Yes, that is true. If you are not in Christ, you are not justified before God because you have no one to speak for you before him and you cannot be in his presence in the spiritual realm. Because we as sinners cannot be in his presence, we who are not in Christ are sent to hell. I'm tired of people dressing up the Gospel as anything else...it is offensive, yes, but it is also beautiful. It must be both. Sidenote: Hell is not, by the way, what the cartoons make it out to be. There is no guy with a pitchfork poking you, there is no burning lava. Hell is simply a place with the absense of God. Hell is a chosen destination. Evilness and 'bad' things are not of God. Evil is simply a lack of God's presense, similar to when you turn off a lightswitch and there is darkness. Darkness has no substance...it is merely an absense of light. God gave us the gift of free will. We can choose to be in Him or not be in Him. The point is not that God is this big evil judge in the sky that wants to , the point is that he has given us a choice and and a chance for redemption. He put the ball in our court. The Bible is a book of theme, from beginning to end. Read it carefully, and you will find that the ENTIRE Bible is about redemption through Christ. The OT laws and prophets set it up, and the NT fulfills the prophesy and the law. It is one continuous document outlining first the perils of humanity and the futility of our 'works', 'good deeds' and sacrifices, and then comes the ultimate sacrifice of God that cleanses and redeems us. God wants us to be with him and he made a way for that to be possible. One day before you die I hope each of you understand this. Jesus came not as a burden, but as LIFE. What I don't understand is if God loves us, why did he create us and make us choose between heaven and hell? And why is it easier to go to hell than it is to go to heaven? From the way things are looking, a lot of people are going to hell, according to the bible. It doesn't sound like God loves us. It sounds like God just got bored and decided to amuse himself by creating us. I'm not bashing Christianity, that's just a question that I would like to know the answer to.
