To whom it may concern:

What are you on about? What part of his post seemed to imply that he was exclaiming in any form?I really don't understand where your head is sometimes...

Personally, I'd like it to be on Neptune. If you ask me, Mars has been getting a bit too much attention lately

Wait, what? (Sorry for replying to the wrong person, but w.e). Is there a point to this thread? If so, explain your logic to me.

Kthanksbye.

I believe I heard about this - something about people not being allowed to sit under a tree? Didn't they end up beating the kids who put the noose there?

Anyways, a swastika has many meanings and shouldn't be generalized. It has long been a symbol of hinduism and buddhism -it's just perceived to be _the _ symbol of the third reich. But indeed, drawing it on someone's door would generally be perceived as an act of racism.
I completely disagree with protesting infront of a soldier's funeral - I can't ever imagine someone doing that but I have heard of that Baptist church (I believe) that does. I am not homophobic in anyway,but bringing in the aspect of the bible - leviticus, genesis, and corinthians do condemn homosexuality.

Chill???? I'm chill.

I just just found it utterly ridiculous that you can say/think that "Baptists" aren't Christians. I just can't understand that.

I'm Eastern Orthodox. Are you saying I'm not Christian?

Neptune?? That's been mentioned wayyyyy too many times in Spongebob Squarepants lol what about.... Jupiter? Or Venus that sounds kind of wicked.And you've got to admit, "Mars the red planet" how could that not get all the attention lol.

What about Uranus? :smile:

Just as you're Eastern Orthodox, and I'm a baptised Episcopalian, we aren't "Christians" (in "their" eyes) even though we believe in Christ. I guess we don't go to the right parties or something...I dunno.

LMAO always a party with helms.

But I'm gonna have to disagree with the use of "nigger" in private conversation equating to racism. I think it depends on the overall context, not just the simple fact it's said. Unless she's asking us to look deeper into the meaning of the term, "private conversation".

wooooow seriously helms you got jokes now? ok. I'm going to leave that be.

I'm so completely sorry that I confused two different things and was completely wrong. But if you are going to start being rude. I'm not for that.

Right....

In other words... Screw you. I give up and am not going to argue with you. LOL

Aww, no! You can stop arguing with her, but don't stop with me!!

No I meant to say.. that's what she meant with her post.

Yeah I know, I was just being silly. I hate when people refuse to admit when they're wrong.

You're thinking of the reverse swastika, which goes by the name of Manji.http://members.at.infoseek.co.jp/japanpage/images/Shorinji/manji.gif

thanks guys.

You're welcome.

I hate when people refuse to admit when they're wrong.She did actually say that she was "completely wrong."

Oh, I was talking about myself there. I misunderstood what sdp had said and then lied to make it seem like I didn't.

I agree, racisim is such a stupid, ignorant, and repugnant thing.
