stop all the open and outright stealing that goes on at the ports ,

change the customs inspectors from top to bottom often so they cant set up a second business of contraban goods

look at it this way the US was founded on religious freedom and all men were created equal .

jump forward some 232 years look at how it has changed .

the powers at be have made it illegal to say a prayer in school for Christian's , even to the point of not being able to ware crosses on the outside of your clothes & no them

the other religion's are able to ware there religious symbols and clothes and pray at will where and when they want ,

the atheist and agnostic have sued the US government to keep the word God out of public buildings and you are not able to have the manger Sean on public property .

they have even gone so far as to remove SO HELP US GOD from the war memorial speech president Roosevelt gave to the people the day after japan bombed pearl harbor .

and now they are talking about removing IN GOD WE TRUST from the money of the US as it offends them to handle the money .

for a religion that preaches peace love and tolerance and no drugs , achoal , homosexual , and it is wrong to seek wealth well they have just about went on and broke ever rule ,they preach and are to live by .

any country they have occupied in the past 2000 years they have destroyed there temples and any semblance of there religious symbols .

the temple mount , the giant buddas in Afghanistan ,just to name 2 .

they have no center like roam just each masque fallows the doctrine of whom ever is in charge and if there tribune is on to tight well look at what is going on now , some preach peace , while others preach to kill the ones whom Peace piece

The powers have and are importing 1000 iraq citizen's a month to the US and so is the rest of the world .

thees people still believe in slavery , all other religion's are wrong and the only true word is the word of the Koran .all other books are written by man not a living god.

WE ARE INFIDEL'S if a Muslim woman marries out of her religion she and her children can be put to death .

the only way out of the religion is to die you can be killed if you choose to leave .

just last month a father of 2 girls killed the booth of them for dating non Muslim boys , and he feel he did right by his god.

and yet the Government of the US does not want to anger them they are ( in no better words ) kissing there asses . and we will pay for it in the not so long run.

they speak of wiping Israel off the face of the earth , killing all US citizens and there friends where ever and when ever they pleas

so don't kid yourself if they come to your country they will try to change your way of life one way or another .

any one who has moved about this planet will or has seen the way religion has changed cultures how one tore down the temples of the foe and built theres on top of the vanquished set in motion to change the people minds on whom was or is the head god

I am not a religious person i believe in me first

it is my word and honor i live buy ,rules made up by men can be bought , nature cant ,

the people of the US need to get hold of the government before they give the place away .

thank the lord of the sea for my life , food and freedom , and for the love of my life

did any one read the pope said it was okay for people to drive cars like RR, Bentley's ,

as long as they are not used to show wealth . ????

and he baptised a Muslim that did not give up his Faith

joao from other site your question

Thanks for the reply, Forrest. It is all a bit confusing, because www.brazzil.com is still trying to fix the problems with their comments (for the past 5 days!).

However, from reading your comments during the past year, I could easily make out that you are not a religious person and I am not either. I am not atheist either.I have traveled to many countries, though not as many as you have done. The first thing I learn t was not to talk about the religions.Fortunately, I made several friends from diversified religions.I do not know if you remember a guy who went by the name of "Jõao Pinga" who commented last year that he believed in folks getting together to build a deck than the ones who were praying 5 times a day expecting miracles to improve their lives.I share his opinion and I enjoy being very secular.

I agree with you that what the "atheists" and "agnostics" are doing in the U.S. is wrong, as "God" for me is nature. The God is everywhere. Jesus, Mohammed, Budda, etc; were the "middlemen" (Intellectuals and thinkers, though) between the heaven and earth (our universe and planet earth). The Chinese consider themselves as the inhabitants of the "Middle Kingdom".

The problem with all the religions these days is that the their leaders use them as tools keep the people ignorant and put one religion against another.In MHO, that is what is happening now. Remember the days when Hitler made the Jews scapegoats? Then we had to listen the endless propaganda of the "commies" trying to take over the world. Well, they did not. Now we are hearing about the "Ragheads" wanting to destroy the Western civilization and I dont think that is going to happen either. I am afraid that we are getting very paranoiac and it is not good for us,because we are just contributing to the welfare of the armaments industries!

Forrest, years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting a Vietnam veteran (outside U.S) who served two tours and honorably discharged from USAF. We used to discuss a lot and he made one comment that still rings in my ears: John, the paddy farmers in Nam did not give a shit whether the country was ruled by the "Commies", French or "Democratically elected governments". All they were interested was to grow rice, raise a family and live in peace.

So, I think that, instead of discussing how we could bring about "Democracy" to the Afghans ,Iraqis,etc;, we should leave them alone.Maybe I am wrong. Only the time will tell.

Thanks Forrest, for listening to my long lecture!

the big deal is they preach to even there children to seek us out and kill us

hammas has a sunday morning TV show with a 6 ft rat looking a lot mikey mouse killing christans with all sorts of bombs , guns and then going to there heaven with all the virgins .

another TV show , shows a child killing the US president in all sorts of ways .

the poor and noinlighten people should be led by good people , not the ones we have in charge today ,
leaders of churches , governmonet,schools should be held to a higher plane than the rest of us ,
look at the leaders of the US and brasil just for 2 how many crimes do they do and get away with it (all of them )
women like paris hilton and others movie stars can do and say what they want and not be held responsable for it ( why not )

like me i wanted to be left alone but people in brasil in goverment wanted to rob me will they did ( now they are having there lives turned upside down by my actions )
and it spreads to there total family , maybe next time they will think before they try to take something from someone

tao is more they way i lead my life , but you cross me just for profit than i will become something you dont want to deal with

i feel the key is education the right one , the corret leadership , place TV in stop the stupid novelas , bring them more into life like ordeals .
dont let crooks get away with it hold up there heads and get a good look at them on camra or TV , them put them to work to repay or replace the things they took .

all of us should be held to a more responsable plane the higher you are on the plane the more your fine or punsihment should be .

the key to this is to stop the greed , let people

The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama . Judge Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer. He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are trying to strip his right to practice law in Alabama . The judge's poem sums it up quite well.

America the Beautiful,
or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride;
I'm glad they'll never see.

Babies piled in dumpsters,
Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty;
your house is on the sand.

Our children wander aimlessly
poisoned by cocaine
choosing to indulge their lusts,
when God has said abstain

From sea to shining sea,
our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
and a need to always pray.

We've kept God in our temples,
how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,
and Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a government
that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges;
who throw reason out the door,

Too soft to place a killer
in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
before he leaves the womb.

You think that God's not angry,
that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait
before His judgment comes?

How are we to face our God,
from Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do,
but stem this evil tide?

If we who are His children,
will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face
and mend our evil way:

Then God will hear from Heaven;
and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land
and those who live within.

But, America the Beautiful,
if you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God
withdraw His hand from Thee.

~~Judge Roy Moore~~

JOAO TO ME THIS SUMS UP JUST ABOUT EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

Hey Forrest, thank you so much for sending me the poem of Judge.Moore. You are absolutely right and he summed it all. Just substitute the name of "U.S." with the one where you live and you will find that it applies to all the countries. In fact I have read about Moore, though not his poem and I was unaware that he is being persecuted.

I always found your comments to be fair about any country and you just confirmed it. You don't shirk from criticizing the current state of affairs in your own country of birth and that makes you a truly a World citizen. It is very very hard for the chest thumping and flag waving citizens of ANY country to swallow his pride and accept that there are things needed to be fixed in his/her country. Unfortunately a fraction of the population is willing to speak its mind.

As for the 10 commandments that Judge.Moore talked about, I agree,because the commandments were succinct and to the point. After all, they were the ones who set rules and regulations for the evolution of the civilization. Unfortunately, Judge.Moore is being crucified, because of his honesty. We have become so greedy and self centered, that we no longer care for o
