NO. he's sexy.

I can understand people referring to American cultures like New English or Southern culture. "American" culture across the nation is mostly vapid beyond consumerism. It's a matter of fact that there are communities of extra-American cultures that are far stronger than more abstract notions of culture found in generations-removed whites.

Anyway, I don't like giving injunctives as to who or what cultures people identify themselves. I know most want to protect cultures from big bad homogeny while others want to abandon culture all together and be pure individuals, or something. Honestly, one of the few things I love about the United States is this cultural ambiguity. I can identify with my heritage from Ireland and Germany, which isn't so far back as one might assume, but in a sense there's still that "cultural frontier" aspect within the United States. In other words, I can have my place in history but without being strangled by it. It's entirely up to my whim to see myself in history in its many aspects, as it should be.

I love yr quotes. Who are you? To me that always meant that people will disagree with you when you trust and have faith in Jesus. Your faith will ultimatley cause tension between you and others because they might disagree. Also it is saying to put God first because if you love god the most the rest will work out itself. And I hope to one day loose my life for his sake.

on slavery: Titus 2:9 "Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again"

I don't need your permission. If there was any permission needed in this relationship, it would be from me to you, to fuck dogs. And it would be continually denied. And yet you would continue to fuck dogs. Because you're a dog-fucking tower of AIDS.

i knew you'd react to the permission part.

back to one of the point brought up here by sonic gail adn savage clone
i dont think that there is a time limit to when you are allowed to feel connected to your roots. i have over the past year or som been a bit lost as to what nationality i belong to, and what my roots and traditions actually are.
i have lived in israel for over half my life
before that i was born and lived in the states.
my mothers side of the family immigrated there from vienna in 39, and my fathers from eastern europe during the 1st decade of the 20th century.
so i dont really know where i belong and what i connect to.
when im ion israel i feel more american, when im in america, or see americans that come here i am reminded on how much i dont feel connected to them...
so yeah, boring post over.

[knox]

i imagine he's saying everything glice posts, on the phone.

[ni'k]

the only people that enjoy their irishness are americans who somehow think they can be irish when they havent lived here. really being irish is absolutely shit in every fucking way possible and you should be glad your relatives got out of this place.

i feel really sorry for the first humans who set out north from africa into europe, those pioneer primitives who were able to walk over areas that are now just ocean, due to the ice age. some of the poor fuckers ended up getting to a point were there was just ocean and a massive gap seperating them from america, which they had no notion of. and then of course the ice age ended and the ice melted and they couldnt get back, and so ended up on an island.

since those days everyone born here has either left or settled in for a life of alcoholism and settling for less.

i have brought it up before, indeed, but i had no answer.
while glice is naturally gifted at cuntness, therefore somehow entitled, wellcharge just takes everything way too seriously.

My sister, I honestly don't understand all the fuss. Yes, I am a white guy from Los Angeles, but I am also a 100% original Rastafari, Tewahedo Orthodox convert, Ethiopian Orthodox Parish School of Religion Instructor named Habte Selassie. Do you think eldery, well-respected Ethiopian clerics pass out African names like handshakes? Do you think those ranking big dread teach everyone to play the heartical nyabinghi (which is construed, "death to all white oppressors") drum?

I-man EARNED the stripes to claim my titles, and none of y'all as silly as you want to be folks can take them from me. Those who have eyes to see, have seen and are quite respectful. If it is in ignorance, now you know, and in the future we will see if you are like the others who are simply hating what they can't believe, which is odd for a bunch of supposedly open-minded indie/artistic folks like SYG.

i'm not the one who's concious dear.
i frankly don't care that you're white.
i just wanted to know you were aware.
i think multiquoting is a terrible habit.
it's all very nice and interesting, but nothing is going to change the fact you were born a white boy probably named brian.
you're the one acting like there is something wrong with that.

[floatingslowly]

I've known a lot of white guys that didn't act it. mostly, it was for attention.

not a single-one of the attention grabbers actually went so far as to attend an Ethiopian church.

in the very least, Ras has a sincere dedication toward the cause of promoting one-love.

True that. He earned his stripes and I think it is very couragous of him to take his route, considering the fact that he must get shit about it daily in real life as well as on here. I have learned more about my faith from him than any priest or church.

You cannot separate love and hate. Humans are hard hearted and alot of things in the bible take that into consideration. In the society of the time in which that was written it was common for people to have servants. Some were not slaves persay, but people that worked for food and shelter in a time that did not have consumerism and a wealth of jobs for a large population. Also it is symbolic of God being the master and we are the servants and that for our lives to be as peacefull as possible in this world it is best that we obey what he has told us. Because after all, sin usually harms the sinner more than anyone else.
