Ohh. But I still don't get why Christian god is responsible for all em pilgrims comin over here and being rotten? They wanted religious freedom? He told them to? I think the blame for that one lies here in England. Our policy of rounding up all the religious nutjobs and sending them West probably didn't help much with America's present spiritual sepsis. Sorry about that. But Yanno, it was bad enough having millions of rebel Irish on our doorsteps, without having factions of Protestant fundy whack-a-doodles queering the pitch. You could take a leaf out of our book, and make the worst of them sail West in leaky old sailboats.

I thinks it should fall under the hate crime category. Stuff like this. No one should ever feel ashamed of who they are or where they come from, their heritage, their color, race or religion. If things like this were criminal and people actually punished it might make many stop and think before they say or write shit. I'd rather my taxes pay for people like this to sit in jail than some poor stoner. While I agree in principle, I believe that the only person responsible for how you feel about yourself, your heritage, etc, is you. Nobody can make you feel ashamed of anything if you're NOT ashamed; While I find hate speech utterly despicable, I'd rather have it out in the open, rather than festering somewhere in secret...

If hateful actions and words are acceptable and dusted under the rug, then groups of people become as the Native American people. Brushed under the rug and forgotten about. No effing bueno amigo.

Hey Charlie, just saw your post from yesterday on fb, but I fucking hate fb, so I'm answering here. Just to iterate a point I feel is relevant. It doesn't even matter what your bloodline is, so long as you know your enemy. In that comic, "Ghostdancing" I put a link to, www.mediafire.com/myfiles.php#08mcgxptzb131there's an unexpected twist at the end. The protagonist, Snake, who'd been out in the desert seeking some kind of answer for 25 years, and aroused the attention of the Spirits with his drumbeats, turns out to be Polish.

...but what if your enemy is yourself? I'm serious in that one.

Many times we are our own worst enemy. This happens when we forget who we are and where we came from. It is very important to stop sometimes and realize that we are only Human Beings. We do not rule over things, we are only a part of things.

If your enemy is yourself, then you're going to need some negotiation skills.
