Good and Evil are at odds every single day worldwide. The darkness will NEVER outshine the LIGHT. When Hitler looked as though he would conquer the world, great nations joined together to over through this evil empire.
History repeats itself over and over through many generations. Nothing can be added, and nothing taken away. Everything is TIME, SPACE, ENERGY, AND MATTER.
You cannot love God and money at the same time. Because you`ll love one and hate the other for your failures. Until people understand that the real gift is LIFE ITSELF senseless war, poverty, and other destroying man created evils will always exist.
Don`t say I`m only one person I can`t make a difference!!! Have the courage to stand up for people who can`t stand up for themselves. These are the people who get preyed upon by societies DARK SIDE. Bring these evil people into the light and expose them for what they truly are people, we all need to stand together in a spirit of harmony. May God Bless.

Anxity, worry, and concern seem to sweep over me when I see the incredible changes takeing place in this once beautiful country we live in.
There's nothing wrong with, CHANGE, because change is who we are. Once we were children but we've changed and become adults, parents, and successfull professionals in our own field.
Unfortunately this is not the change that I find disconcerting.
American inventors designed and created automobiles, airplanes, radios, televisions, and of course the computer.
But because of this change I speak of, all of these great and wonderful creations and inventions have been turned against us, and have caused us great pain and sorrow.
While all of these inventions were great, and made this world a much better place to live in, the unwelcomed changes I speak of come from the darken world, an envious nation of people that attempt to enter this country to intermingle with the good people of this nation, for the sole purpose of destroying, and bringing this once powerful nation down to its knees.
The democratic, freedom and peace loveing people who make up these United States wonder just exactly what is going on.
They are wondering why is the price of everything from fuel, to groceries going up.
Why are we being treated like suspicious terroris hidding weapons or explosives under our garments, and are given embarresing body searches each time we board a plane.
These hard working Americans are wondering why did those jet liners have to crash into those Twin Towers. Or crash into our nations capital. Why had so many inncent people have to die?
Why did so many children have to lose their mothers or fathers on that fatefull day on 9/11?
More importantly who are these shadowy, suspicious people who call themselves musloms, who openly admit they hate America. Who pray to their (god) to destroy this nation called America.
Even our freedom of Religon is being used against us.
Our forefathers never anticipated that there would one day be a religion come to this country to demand their freedom of religon, even if that right was to destroy a Christion Nation
The only way we can survive this religious war is to do as they (muslims) do. They get down on their knees and pray for the destruction of America.
We must get on our knees and pray for these evil religious fanatic to be cast away from our shores.

I agree with Trebor of OH.

Everyone has an opinion and is entitled to it; however it's painfully obvious that one of the largest stumbling blocks in our society today is that we each believe our own opinion is the 'right' and 'only' one! A huge majority of our stateside population strongly believes that christianity is the one, true way that the world should work and everything else is sub-par. It is from this paradigm that we borne hate, judgement and lack of personal responsibility. Among a host of other unhealthy characteristics toward the betterment of mankind! Let's get over this and accept that for 2000+ years we have murdered, maimed, ridiculed and imprisoned toward this cause. It's NOT working!
On a side note, if you wish to point fingers... Do it in front of your mirror.

Over population statistics
You guys really need to turn off the T.V and chill out a bit

To add to Bob of UT's comment about learning History, you really do need to learn your history. I am going to guess that you are of African-American ethnicity by the comments you made, but you obviously don't know your own history. Were some Africans kidnapped and brought her against their will? Sure, it would be crazy to say they weren't, BUT, the majority were bought from their own tribe leaders, who were greedy themselves, and wanted what was offered to them for the trade.
Human slavery, regardless of skin color, was happening centuries before Africa was even discovered. Most of Europe's so called greatest leaders enslaved their own people. Pharoah's of Egypt enslaved their own people without any assistance from caucasian's.
You need to get off your racist slavery band wagon. It is people like you, who weren't even in existence during those shameful days, that help to hold this country back by holding on to hate and prejudice for something that took place before you were even a twinkle in your parents eye.
If you want to continue to feel that "your" people were brought here against their will... then pack your bags and leave; noone will bother to stop you, and we really don't need you here anyway.

Breanna,
First off, if you believe everything that college teaches you is always true then you are sadly mistaken. I have attended several colleges and taken multiple history courses that overlapped. The truth? The professors all disagreed about almost every person and event! Many jobs will tell you that college just provides you with the theory of how to do something and the actual job might be done completely different.
Point #1, simply because a person says they are a christian doesn't mean they are.
Point #2, you are correct that there are crazy radicals in every race but there are still trends to account for. Showing a few examples that a certain race has done this or that when another race has exponentially done much more is makes your point meaningless. Who in their right mind would say that absolutely zero white people ever do anything like a terrorist?
Point #2, the people that dumped the tea in the harbor use to BE British...Learn your history!
Point #3, your rather general and shallow argument about African American genocide through drug trafficking is rather offensive. It's people like you that paint the WHOLE system as corrupt that makes things even worse. Is the system bad, yes. Is EVERYONE in the system bad? No. I have several friends that are cops and they do everything they can to help people. The problem is the people on the streets (African Americans too) don't want any help because they assume every cop is corrupt! They want a helping hand but won't accept it at the same time.
Point #4, I can't count how many African-Americans I have met that don't want to work either. Don't talk like all these poor people can't help themselves. Many of them don't want to work to get themselves out of their mess. However, I have also met people that are great examples of changing their life and getting off the streets. There are both groups of lazy people who want a free hand out and those that really want to change but need help. To argue either extreme is very misinformed.
Point #5, I love "the whole criminal justice system is against me" type mindset. If you really think the police are using drugs as a genocide and that it is a lucrative business for them then you're sadly misinformed. Are some cops probably profiting? Of course, bad people are in all sectors and not just the police force. However, it is outlandish to say that police are using drugs as a genocide.
Point #6, "...would any of us down here in New Orleans even have homes if it weren't for them?" Stereotypical and racist? The people that actually built the homes back in New Orleans were volunteers from all over the US. I personally have had dozens of friends go help throughout the years to rebuild homes. I also have friends who were doing construction but no jobs are available and they weren't illegal immigrants. So when you say no one wants to do the work you're wrong.
Point #7, Which schools say blacks can't attend? Any? How are we intentionally punishing them?

Bob of UT 2:01PM December 08, 2010

Sooo yeah. All the white people that came here would be considered illegal under our current circumstances. And everyone else for that matter. What opened the door to terrorism was crazy people basically. There are crazy radicals in every race and subdivision of anything really. During that whole "burn a Quran" thing there was this AMERICAN CHRISTIAN who stated that he didn't like Muslims because "they're just so different." There was also a WHITE AMERICAN who set fire to equipment used to make a place of worship for Muslims. Now about the whole Revolution thing (lol) that was definitely not for any kind of freedom but monetary freedom. The whites that came here and forced others to come here and work for them were upset that GB was taking all their crops and most of the profit. Why do you think they wasted all of that tea? Let me tell you, they were British in the first place, so I'm sure they loved tea. Umm what else? Oh yeah. All the use of profanity is very unbecoming and childish. If you can't articulate without it then what does that say about you? The reason immigrants come here is because there are work opportunities that Americans refuse to take, so corporations (who are all about money because well.. we're all about capitalism) fill the spots with whoever they can. If you want to find fault with anyone it's them. America is also fueling the drug trade. Do you HONESTLY think that the police force of America wants to eradicate drug use? NO! It is much too effective in the genocide of African Americans and much too lucrative a business for the police and lawyers and politicians and drug families based right out of the good ole US of A. You wanna fix something, then do it yourself. Stop complaining about it online and then going back to your regular life and forget about it until someone else says something with which you don't necessarily agree. If we work WITH the "illegal" immigrants instead of AGAINST them, I'm sure it'd be a better place. I mean c'mon, would any of us down here in New Orleans even have homes if it weren't for them? NOPE! lol. It's true. No one else wants to do the work ;) So open your eyes and see what's really going on. MONEY!!! Stop being so narrow-minded and racist. Yes "Bullsh-t" I'm speaking to YOU! lol. Terrorism. More white people go crazy and shoot people than any other race. Crime is also cause by the social stigma on blacks. You won't give the economically deprived (mostly blacks) decent schools or good jobs, and then you punish them for attempting to make a way and take care of their families. You wanna get a bitch slap of truth? Go to an inner city school and see with what they try to educate the black youth. Whites kidnapped Africans to build this country and fight their wars and then insist that they had absolutely nothing to do with Great America's beginnings. America was not built on the basis of freedom or truth. It was built on lies and greed. Watch "Everybody Hates Chris." Even it is a watered down.
