Tankie? Is this a new racial slur I'm not aware of?

Or perhaps, stop bombing the people that control the strait.

Leave us out of it, please. Canada

Yes, if all of them stopped changing. If some changed and some didn't, you'll have to be thinking which ones changed and which ones didn't.

For sure. But everyone should change. Otherwise, it's a constant question of who's on what time.

TIpping. Receptionists take crap all the time. Fire fighters risk their lives. Cooks slave in a hot kitchen. Garbage people take our garbage, and yet we chose to give extra money to the people who carry our food from the kitchen to our table.

I've actually been doing a lot of thinking about this lately. Reading the gospels and trying to leave my preconcieved ideas out of it. The conclusions I've been coming to are: You can call yourself a Christian, but if you don't live like it, you're not. Acceptance of Christ's teaching is intertwined with what you do. Acceptance of Christ's teachings has to be an inner thing, not just doing the right thing and staying bitter and angry inside.

A Christian is a follower of Christ's teachings. He taught humility, acceptance of others, non-violence, truth, helping others, non-hipocracy, love, and peace. Just because people in power call themselves Christians, doesn't mean they are.
