Illegal immigrants ONLY have jobs that Americans don't want

speakeasy @speakeasy (4171) • United States 5 Oct 10

I think it is time to lay this myth to rest. Colin Powell stated that without illegal immigrants his remodeling and other work on his home would not have been done - sorry, Colin. Here in Arizona we have a lot of legal US...

murderistic It is very rare for illegal immigrants to be making over minimum wage - although, some immigrants who are working are not actually illegal, they just don't have a work permit. I don't know, it's easy to get mad and discriminate against the outsiders who are...

What do you think of allowing only property owners to vote?

dragon54u @dragon54u (31633) • United States 4 Oct 10

Before you all go ballistic, I've heard that's how it was in the beginning years of the U.S. The reasoning was that property owners had worked hard and presumably were thrifty, money conscious, and would want the national spending...

murderistic In an economy where it is often the "thrifty" and "money conscious" choice to RENT over own, I don't see how the argument makes any sense. Besides that, the idea that only people of wealth are competent enough to have a voice in choosing their government...

murderistic I think that the family has every right to be concerned for this child. He is not just learning that Christians are going to hell, he's being raised by his mother to be a radical Muslim terrorist. There is a major difference. Even the boys Muslim father is...

Do you think that God is found only in places of worship?

veejay19 @veejay19 (3589) • India 15 Mar 10

murderistic You certainly do not have to be in a nominal place of worship to be with God. The Jesus says in Matthew 18: "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three...

What does this Symbol mean to You? Part One

shutupandbuyit @shutupandbuyit (221) • United States 26 Jan 10

This is the first of several discussions I have planned, it is for my own curiosity how people of modern faiths react strictly to the symbols of other religions, so please be honest. Look at the symbol and tell me what you think...

Are you getting your dog a Christmas present?

maximax8 @maximax8 (31042) • United Kingdom 20 Dec 09

badfish @badfish (208) • United States 29 Nov 09

murderistic Badfish, I am assuming you are a Christian. As a fellow Christian, I think it's safe to say that we do not have to prove by logic that the Bible is the book of God and that it is accurate. Faith speaks louder than logic. We cannot prove that Christianity is...

murderistic Christmas trees have nothing to do with Christianity or the birth of Christ, in fact their origins are pagan. Many Christians are offended by Christmas Trees.

Is "free will" the big difference between humans and other animals?

Fulltank @Fulltank (2882) • Philippines 20 Nov 09

All animals have some sort of intelligence, we are just lucky we are on top of it. But what other animals don't have is the "free will". The ability to choose how our life would be in the future. Is free will the best example that...

murderistic I believe that what makes humans different from other animals is our ability to think abstractly. Without the ability to think abstractly we would not be capable of language, artwork, religion, science... we probably couldn't function as a species without our...

mchavez11 @mchavez11 (1406) • Philippines 15 Nov 09

The Evolution of the God Gene

harshadod @harshadod (858) • India 17 Nov 09

In natural selection, it is genes that enable their owners to leave more surviving progeny that become more common. The idea that natural selection can favor groups, instead of acting directly on individuals, is highly...

murderistic I do believe that we evolved to serve God through religion. We are made in the image of God, and because of this, we have the ability to think abstractly, thus allowing us to discover how God works (through science and religion). The two are not mutually...

kevinsharris @kevinsharris (21) • United States 14 Nov 09
