Also, this one, Reader's Digest, probably my favorite from him.

I'll have to get permission from my Bishop, who will probably have to ask the Pope.

But hey, you're Argentinian, maybe you could give him a call?

No, I'll never forgive him for using his divine connections to enable his club, San Lorenzo, to win Copa Libertadores.

Or Whites are three times the number of.blacks, six times the number of Latino, and 10 times the number of Asian.

Waaay out of proportion...

But it is individuals! It is not a symbol of what is wrong with "White America." Minorities never get to be individuals, we are always monolith. The constant ambassadorship that comes with being a minority in this country is hard to put into words.

You didn't use enough qualifiers when talking about "White America"!

Mike Johnson is a True Christian

Jewish family fled hometown after Mike Johnson warned of ‘enemy’ to the gospel: report (msn.com)

Of course, in a previous life, he had a few great songs

^^ Became my anthem for a few months late in the school year when I found out Yolanda W. was a senior and wasn't coming back. I was in ninth grade, not like I had a shot

He was. You did misread him and you corrected yourself.

And your fabled person would be a shorter, rounder, curly-haired man who has the Hand of God. I also assume your prayers would be done in the form of a scrum.

No the way I read it, he stated that white people still present a disproportionate amount. Besides, he doesn't have a Davey Boy history of posting.

If I ran into a group that called themselves "Stallions for Christ" I would immediately assume they were closeted gays - it's just way too over-the-top protest masculinity.

Definitely sounds like a male dancers living in that in between world life. Like the Christian couple that are also swingers I remember somebody posting about.

I've mentioned this before but I have my students read a worldwide study with a sample-size of over 40,000. The results of the study indicate that people who accept evolution are much less likely to be prejudiced against minority groups (whatever the minority is in that country) or other "out-groups" than people who reject it. In other words, people on the American right, who are more likely to reject evolution, will hold more bias against "the other" than people on the American left, who are more likely to accept evolution. This pattern held up regardless of religious beliefs, regardless of ethnicity, regardless of nationality, etc. The deciding factor was acceptance or rejection of evolution.

Can you link that study? Sounds interesting.

Well, yes. At the very least he is probably the most important Argentine in history. Either him or Pope Francis.

I probably would lean towards Pope Francis. It's one thing for God to lend you a hand, another to make you his representative on Earth.

Wait, ONLY 148? That number seems really small. Just a quick glance at Wiki and it looks like there have been about 30 just this year.

San Lorenzo first, obviously, although he finally did come through for Argentina last year. But hey, if I was in his position and had that type of connection with God, then Boca would have already won the seventh.

Since you used the singular “I’m” and not the plural “we’re” I can tell you you’re wrong., either you’re a mass shooter and it’s 100% or you’re not a mass shooter and it’s 0%.

For whatever reason you can’t perceive people as individuals.

Why, Val? Why did you decide to post this and do harm to people who have not harmed you in any way? who made you imitate Dave this afternoon?.

Truth and reality have no value in your worldview which is why you would be susceptible to a Trump of the Left.

Click to expand...

Do you have any evidence for European mass shooters? My understand is that because of gun control in Europe, mass shootings are incredibly rare in Europe. For that matter, their murder rate is small compared to ours.

You seem very confused now,
