Does not the Stars and Stripes represent that death and violence, but for the greater good of the populations concerned? Racial violence is repugnant no matter what race or races are involved. Racial intolerance is inherent in civilization going back to the earliest racial divisions of the human race. Racial intolerance is a part of the human genome and genetic mapping of what constitutes a human being. Racial and ethnic intolerance will always be present in humankind, controlling the level of that intolerance is what separates civilized societies from the tribes of Africa and other wild locations on the planet.
I get it; Italy and Slovakia are not wild or tribal. OK..........next?

Really unless it was in your life time I dont give a crap how you feel about what other people have done. It is the past. It was their actions. It sure the hell does not justify youe hate of some one who has never wronged you or your family. In the end your the one who suffered by your own hatred. Unless you hate a spific person for hurting someone you know or knew. Then it is still BS and your the one filled with hate in the end and you still loose. You can do what I did Move away from people you dont like. My area has 4 non white familys and the town is safe, quiet, kind, friendly. I cant say that for any other town that is mostly non white. excluding a few groups.
Family is Family!!

You would not be here if it wasn't for your family that multiplyed and brought you here!

So that comment is off the wall!!!

Ignorance can be measured in 2 folds.
1. The Clueless
2. or the Dumb

WOW!!!!

What one church believes is the business of that church as long as it does not hurt others. It is NOT a right to join a church . So if you don't like it , Hit the road. And as far as the John Mc winner, how about posting a ligit link to prove that statement.. Thought so. MoveOn.fools is not one of them

Maybe your family was a bunch of chicken thieves. They were shot for steeling . Who cares! I think it is funny how your life is so meaningless that you hang on the life of others in the past. If you believe in Adam and eve then your family is my family. We are brothers. I still can say I don't care enough about the past to hate in the future.

KNown fact to who? where is the proof? I stand behind what i said . It is the business of the church not of anyone else. If they dont want gays, jews whites or blacks, then so what?
It is not against the law. move on. If a president of the US or soon to be president belongs to a church like that THEN it needs to be said. That said where is the proof? Your facts are my rumors.

I dont think so but if they did , So what? I am guilt free and have no need to be sorry or mad. Even if the redman killed hundreds of my family. Many of my family were killed by white people in Missouri and many killed in New York. Again So what. The killers will answer to their doings. I will answer for mine. To forgive is better than to hate. That may be hard but How can one hate people who are dead for things done to people you never knew.

With all due respect to your level of rage and indigence, could you please reduce the number of exclamation points "!" in your posts as I may have to increase the dosage of my blood pressure med in order to cope with the level of anger manifested in your posts. My cardiovascular system thanks you!
