Its just frustrating. I don't see skin color, I see Americans. On the news there's people being interviewed, who say that 'the talk' is necessary for the safety of their sons with regards to police. I can't even imagine.. Like, growing up police were emulated by me and my brother. I've never met a bad cop, and I respect them for what they do. That's how I was raised.
I don't understand how a bigger city like Ferguson could have so few minorities on the police force, but growing up in a small town that used to be the Midwest KKK rally point--I can see how small towns with limited posts could have preferential treatment. If there is such a divide between the police and the policed in big cities though, then this needs rectified. In my opinion when Obama was elected, everyone came out of their little politically correct hiding holes and this is just a consequence of the free for all environment that Republicans have been shamelessly promoting for years. The urban populations hardly have any control over their own fate, and rather have authorities who seek to suppress them and help them self detonate. The fault lies with the leadership-- Missouri and Florida being heavily red states.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
