General Off-Topic Board / Re: California Proposition 8. How would you vote?« on: November 01, 2008, 12:21:48 AM »
If the teachers in your schools didn't pound into your head that we cannot know happens after we die, would you come to the same conclusion? 3
General Off-Topic Board / Re: California Proposition 8. How would you vote?« on: November 01, 2008, 12:08:51 AM »So, if Jesus married the church, does that make him a polygamist, or is he just married to an idea? I'd kind of like to marry an idea. I'm not entirely sure how we'd consummate the union, though. Also, did Jesus consummate his union with the church, or could the pope totally annul the union? I don't even know how to respond to such blasphemy. It is a metaphor, just as Christ is the Head and the Church is the body of Christ. However, one day you will stand before Him and you can ask him that ridiculous question yourself. Although, I doubt you will have the courage to say such a thing when that time comes. To elephant lee: I did read the post you were responding to, but after reading it again I see that I most likely responded to you in a wrong way. Sorry about that. 4

Paul wrote Romans under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. 5

I also wonder such large swaths of Christianity fetishize the family when the new testament is downright anti-family at times. [/quote] What in the world are you talking about? I highly doubt you know much of anything of the New Testament. The Bible claim Jesus is God, and his bride is the Church-you would know that if you actually took the time to read and understand the New Testament. Also, the Bible does not claim that there is one out there for everyone; infact, it says sometimes it is better for some to remain unmarried. However, you can read Romans 1 along with many other passages to see how God views homosexuality. 6

Where should I go next fall? / Fee Waivers« on: October 28, 2008, 10:49:12 AM »
What is the correlation between being offered a few waiver and the chances of being accepted at a school? With a 157 on the lsat in October and a 3.9 gpa, I do not understand why the University of Virginia sent me an email saying, "You have an impressive record and we'd like you to apply, so we've waived your $75 application fee. The fee waiver will be applied automatically when you submit the LSAC e-app."
I do not attend an impressive school and I am not a URM, so I am perplexed by this. I wouldn't expect a fee waiver from Cooley with my unimpressive numbers. 9
Affirmative Action / Re: I'm a URM and I'm opposed to racial AA. How about we replace it with class AA?« on: October 11, 2008, 09:00:11 PM »
First of all, why argue against my argument by making my argument? Are you nuts? THE WORLD DOES NOT OWE ME ANYTHING? You are exactly right. Neither does the world owe anyone else anything based on the color of their skin. I am against the principle of affirmative action, not the people who receive the benefits of it. 10

I do not think that people can defeat racism with racism. Also, how can a school determine whether a person has been the object of racism? If you are black, does that mean you have faced discrimination? If you are white, does that mean you have not faced discrimination? I think it is absurd that some people believe that everything that is wrong in the black community is a result of racism. If AA is necessary, how long will it take before it will become unnecessary? In my opinion, AA is reverse racism. I do not think it helps to alleviate racism, but further promote it. An example of this is Clarence Thomas. Many people think that the only reason he got into Yale was because of AA, not because of his brilliance and hard work. With AA in place, many people assume that their black classmates are there as a result of AA, not a result of their talent. This needs to stop. We do not need to constantly class people by their physical characteristics. We do not need one race believing that another race owes them something, or one race thinking another has an unfair advantage just because of the color of their skin. I was born in 1986, do not hold me accountable for something SOME WHITE people subjected SOME BLACK people to long before I was born.
