Does Affirmative Action Eliminate or Promote Racial Discrimination?

AlwaysAskingWhy @AlwaysAskingWhy (96) • United States 8 Feb 08

As a colored person, I've always assumed that affirmative action was designed to help eliminate racial discrimination. But I read a news article from an Asian magazine a few years ago that an Asian student was turned away from the...

Is the Baby in the Woman's Womb Human?

AlwaysAskingWhy @AlwaysAskingWhy (96) • United States 7 Feb 08

I never outgrew the habit of asking questions as a litle kid. So here are some questions that have been bugging me lately. Is the fetus in a mother's womb human? If not, what is it? If it is human, is it a person? If it's a...

urbandekay The unborn is human, genetically identical to us. Is it a person? Would a child raised by wolves be a person? Would a person whose brain had degenerated be a person? But person even if the unborn is not a person still it is human. The question then comes down...

What Would the World Be Like if Every Christian Followed Jesus' Teachings?

AlwaysAskingWhy @AlwaysAskingWhy (96) • United States 13 Feb 08

I read somewhere that Mahatma Gandhi said he liked Jesus Christ but not Christians. He was referring to the fact that some Christians do not follow what Jesus actually taught. However, I know of a couple of famous Christians who...

headhunter525 It is a great shame that Christians who called themselves followers of Jesus don't really practise what he teaches. However, I would request you to look at Christ himself and makes choices. I would add though that this is not an excuse for a Christians to live...

headhunter525 If we correctly understand Jesus' teaching and apply them to our lives, the world will see justice, love, peace, forgiveness... utopia. I think two reasons are for not seeing that. First, wrong interpretation like someone above did. Second, not applying in...
