Didn't really know where to post this thread.:sorry: A documentery came out a few weeks ago in the US called Jesus Camp. Even though I didn't have the chance to see it, I saw some of the trailers and I had found so many things wrong with what I saw in them. Now I'm going to go hide in my...

For the past several days I've been thinking about recovery efforts of Katrina and what's been happening now. I've hadn't heard much news on it. I've been looking around for some information. From what I've been reading it seems that the actual number of causalties will never be known. This...

I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful American History teacher. He taught us things that aren't in history textbooks these days. Such as the most contraversol case in American history. The Kennedy assasination is still being researched to this very day. And in all honesty, with all the...
