Racism has many definitions, the most common and widely accepted being that members of one race consider themselves intrinsically superior to members of other races.
and said : "Superiority" can be felt over many things including skin color or that persons of other skin colors should "do something different" or be "forced to *pay* for something" when they are, in reality, just living this wonderfully free American life. I don't know a white person who sits around thinking about how superior they are to another skin color. That is certainly assinine. When persons of one skin color falsely assume that persons of another skin color are consumed with racist thinking or are thinking they are superior to them and then as a result hate them for it, they are actually behaving as racists themselves. Those who are on the receiving end of that hate are just moving on and unbeknownst to the racist folks, they are being left behind by their own fault - no one else is to blame. They are opening themselves up to failure in this great country of opportunity - whether they be white, black, yellow or brown. It is a shame that there is this lack of understanding -we are actually all in the same boat, America is a melting pot of peoples, we should all make it melt together - the uncooperative should simply be ignored until they want to be a "part of".

maybe
and said : Maybe, but honestly I never even heard of her until what... yesterday? She has 2 years basically in politics as a Governor - Mayor of a little town is not on the National radar these days and Alaska is a bit remote. McCain may get slammed for not choosing someone who the American people knew and actually would want as President when he passes on. This is where I feel that "maybe" she will be scrutinized for her lack of ability to act as President of the United States.

A little sad
and said : I'm never happy at the loss of a loved one. However, I can experience the relief that they have ended their suffering. Remembering their life and good times here on earth and missing the their better days does honestly bring a bit of sadness when related to the suffering they experienced in their last days.

No!...Please, share with us why you would not want to know.
and said : I would not want to know. I feel that everything good and bad that has happened in my life so far has taught me valuable lessons. Had I been able to predict those events, I would have learned nothing, gained no insight, no wisdom, experienced none of the intended pains, joys, comforts and shared loves which were meant in this life. I would have only counted on myself and included no one else - it seems so lonely.

treat the disorder and i do/had taken them
and said : They obviously take away the ability to feel certain negative feeling by altering brain chemistry. The trick is finding the proper anti-depressant and working on the feelings afterwards - some type of therapy is necessary I believe in addition to the pills.

None of the above
and said : Sir Jim - I think you are entitled to your views and if God gave you the power to condemn others to hell and this furious God is your God, then so be it. Interestingly, the Bible that I read, which I assume is the same one that you are reading does not present God this way. God is a loving, forgiving God who holds us all in his arms with comfort and kindness in our sin - judging others is a sin. God made no one perfect - only God is perfect. To claim to be perfect is a sin. To put oneself on that pedestal is seemingly the biggest sin of all. No one sin is better or worse than another in God's eyes. So if one sin condemns us to hell, then another sin also condemns us to hell. Right? Not just the homosexuals - because all sin is the same? As long as one attempts to make themselves God - judge and judger of others, they sin and this furious God will condemn them to hell?? I'm joyous that the Holy Bible indicates that God is the judger and not a man on Earth.
