Not until I was 21. Same with the two tattoos I have. 8G is large enough for me, I don't want my ear lobes resting on my shoulders lol. I never got too into the body modification thing. What made you take yours out?

I work for a major health care provider here in central Texas. We stopped taking new Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare patients before ObamaCare was passed. Regardless of the health care reform law, public insurance has abysmal reimbursement rates. That isn't to say that private insurance is much...

Yeah. I usually take them out for work, though. That's why I don't have a mohawk, either. What gauge are your earrings? Mine are 8G and 21G. I have a plug in the 8G. I haven't put anything in the smaller hole for about a month. I think it's closed up!

Yeah, that's me from about 5 years ago. I don't have a mohawk anymore, though. :(

lol Thanks! But I didn't make it, I was just reiterating what Milton Friedman said in the video. I will say though, that when conservatives refer to the individual it is not necessarily in an isolationist sense. No man is an island. However, it is more in reference to the sovereignty of the...

Yes! Great post, Lewis. I've been following Alfonzo Rachel on You Tube for almost four years now. Bob Parks & Kevin Jackson are also indelible "Republicans of color".

Can someone direct me to the thread entitled "What is Black Liberation Theology"? If we are going to examine presidential candidates religion, surely we should investigate the beliefs of Trinity United Church of Christ. Of which the pastors sermons included messages such as "not God bless...

@ handy & thisnumberisdisconected I agree that the events surrounding the Civil War have been largely misunderstood from a historical perspective. Sorry if I derided the thread with my initial post. The Klan (and racial bigotry towards blacks during the past two centuries) is a bit of a sore...

Exactly, Forrest simply centralized the Klans efforts of terrorism. There was effectively no Republican party in the Southern states before the end of the civil war. During Reconstruction, state Republican parties were established primarily by blacks. The Republican Party of Texas, for...

The Klan was violent from the get-go. The KKK was founded with the express purpose of intimidating blacks from voting; or at the very least voting Republican.

Moses (the author of Genesis) wrote the Scriptures I quoted. With the exception of 1 Samuel, of course. Perhaps I wasn't clear. I'm only referring to the the pre-Islamic Arabs in Mecca. Neither Scripture, nor the map you linked to suggests that Ishmael's descendants settled anywhere near Mecca...

Yes, but Muhammed claimed that Ishmael settled in Mecca, not Paran as stated in Genesis 21:21 While he was living in the Desert of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from Egypt. The Bible locates Paran near Israel (Canaan) and Egypt, south of Judah. John L. McKenzie in his Dictionary of the...

As I've stated in other threads: the pre-Islamic Arabs in Mecca were pagans and had been prostrating themselves around the "black stone" long before Muhammed invented Islam. There was no such thing as a "Muslim" prior to Muhammed and his false religion. Sura Al-Baqarah is where Muhammed...

My point is (as I'm sure you would agree) that God is unchanging. That Jesus is God in both Testaments. That when OT Jews were led astray they were rejecting Yahweh, and by extension rejecting Jesus whether they perceived Yahweh's triunity or not. As Sinthesis pointed out, Yahweh always reserved...

*EDIT How should the Pharisees have known Yeshua (God saves) was the Messiah from their studies, if the holy texts they studied contained no revelation or apprehension of who the Messiah was? Again, Jesus stated that Abraham knew Him. As for righteousness being credited, the only Jews Paul...
