  • Christians, why do you...?

    The apostle Paul said that Christians should let "the Mind of Christ be reflected in us" (you). So, when someone posts a question about evolution, or another religion, or homosexuality, why do christians tear those people apart. I read their posts, and the posts are full of RAGE and HATRED for anyone who doesn't believe exactly the same as they do. I call you people the "Ned Flanders uber-christians" because that's what you come off as. Now, I know not all christians do this, and I've seen some very good posts as evidence, so I don't want people to think I'm generalizing about Christians.

    As Mahatma Ghandi said, "I like their Christ, but not their Christian."

  • Why do people (especially teens) not use words correctly?

    I hear all the time people (teens usually) talking about how something is "ghetto" when they mean it is something they just threw together and is cheap (for example, "ghetto basketball" uses trash cans instead of baskets).

    And since when did trafficking in women become admirable? ("Pimping"--it's all over the place, such as 3-6-9 Mafia's Oscar-winning song "It's Hard out here for a Pimp", as well as numerous references in rap/hip-hop). Teens proclaim themselves pimps--I don't get it.
