why are there colors animals trees grass metal computers cups cameras paper cd's markers bills games knives clothes blankets shelves printers flopies cats internet sound mass mice buttons people energy wood hinges plastic and why do chineese people look alike... and indians...mexicans...mongolians...japone... russians... why is the anything anyways
Why is the grass green the sky blue the sun yellow the ocean blue ummmm the leaves green wood brown?
Because of matter. Matter is what everything is composed of. There are colors because of the spectrum of light. People have worked to make their lives easier, that is why there is technology. There are different races because of evolution, and people evolved to fit their climates.
I am not saying that all of this wasn't caused by a god of some sort.
the point is, no one really know.

Who's fault is it?
It was my ancestors fault.
Slavery, it was the white man keeping me down. Guess what, I have never owned slaves. So stfu If you want to talk about oppression see my ancestors from Ireland. Should they get some reparations?
How about the polish and the shite they endured? What about the native americans and small pox in the blankets(which incidentally was perpetrated by the Brits)? Also It had a negligible effect on Indians.
In conclusion oh boo who. Who am I going to blame?
Who's fault is it?
Do you know what reparations are? Reparations are payments for work you or your family did without payment. For example, all the companies that used Jews as free labor in WW2 had to pay the families. This is because they did work for them, but never received payment. The idea is that we also used African Americans as slaves but never paid them. This is a unique situation to what other oppressed groups in the US have endured.
And although many groups have received very unfair treatment in the past, I don't think you can compare the way the Irish were treated to the way Africans were treated.
Reply:a reperation isn't always money- it can be a formal apology.

I'm not sure if african americans have received a national one- some states have given one

Why is the Truth Not Taught in School What was Done to The Native Americans???
Why when you say it a white "culture" teaching, there is little or "NO" truth taught in the schools about the Native Americans. Not once in you history class will you hear, well the "Indians" had a right to be angry at the settlers, because they were forcing them off lands that had been their home for thousands of years. You will not hear how the "Indians" were lied to, tricked (easy to do because our Peoples lived by honor and respect), murdered, put bounty on, sold or traded blankets infected on purpose with disease, whiskey that cloud the mind and make sick lives, the women raped, treated as dirt and less, sold as slaves, beaten, and abuse in so many ways. No you will not be taught the "truth" of the "settling" of these lands, or the "taming" of the savage "heathens" who were "godless". No you will not be taught the truth that our Peoples were far more civilized, and advanced, socially, morally, medically, and spiritually because then they have to admit it was a genocide far worse than anything "Hitler" and the "Nazi" ever did!
Why is the Truth Not Taught in School What was Done to The Native Americans???
Good question!
The answer is that racist and ethnocentric Europeans came here originally. There was no Internet back then. Books were limited. Children learned mainly from their racist parents. They became racist. They passed that on to their kids and they then passed it on..... and so on.
Racism and Ethnocentrism towards Native people has become so engrained in American Society that people don't even notice it!
Example? Washington Redskins. The capital of the United States has a football team with a RACIST team name! People openly support that because discrimination and racism towards Native people has become so engrained, people won't believe it's wrong.... http://www.treatycouncil.org/section_211...
Example? Tony Cornheiser a few years ago on PTI said, Hawaiian women are a dime a dozen." What if he had said black women are a dime a dozen? He'd be fired like Don Imus and Rush Limbaugh. He made the comments towards Native women so nobody said anything about, except me in some emails which were ignored. Racism towards Native people is so engrained in American society that people didn't see anything wrong with it. They were raised that way.
Also, to acknowledge what the United States did to the Native people would be to say that the US was based on evil. "Proud Americans" don't want to do that. They don't want to be "anti-American" so they don't dig into the attrocities or when they do, they sugar-coat it.
Example? My son brought home a Weekly Reader that actually celebrated Columbus! For those of you that are thinking, "so what." You have had that racism so engrained in you that YOU don't realize how wrong that is. Columbus was a rapist, murderer, slave trader and more.... To make little Native children celebrate that man is the same as making little Jewish children celebrate Hitler! It is so WRONG! That Weekly Reader sugar-coated that evil by saying Columbus did some bad things but he also did so many good things.... WRONG! http://www.transformcolumbusday.com/
Nobody said much about that Weekly Reader because that racism towards Native people is so engrained in American society....
So now you have teachers that just regurgitate the same stuff that they have had handed down to them from their parents and teachers all the way back from the guys who actually committed the attrocities.
Sure, there are some enlightened teachers that teach some of the truths, but many of the topics are controversial so they don't dwell too much or give the topic the time it deserves.
Example? How does a teacher teach a bunch of Christian children that the Reverend Colonel Chivington murdered women and children in the name of God? "Nits make lice."
I think it's getting better but until people open their eyes and question what they were taught, it will be a long road my friend.

Reply:Unfortunately, our world is forever changing. People fight for their place in it. Some win and sadly some must lose. I am one of the "white" people. My wife is part Creek and Cherokee and therefore so are my kids. I have always found early American history fascinating and was taught in school about the differences between the societies. I was not taught that the settlers were all good moral people. I was taught that the colonists did take advantage of the fact that the Indians didn't live by land ownership. None of this is simply good vs bad. It was two totally different societies colliding with tragic results for the Indians. As for history being written, I am from the south and fully understand that the whole truth is not told. The Civil War was fought for economical reasons. Obviously I don't believe in slavery, but do believe it was an afterthought for war propaganda. I believe people are victorious and people are conquered. The question is not whether it was fair but can we all get along as Americans now. I certainly hope so.

The United States Government has never wanted we the people to know the great injustice that was done to our people and of and any people that were brought into this country against their will. The motto of this land when Europeans stepped foot on this land to make a better life for themselves,and because they didn't know or understand the ways of our people they destroyed the land and tried to killed off the native people of the land,so they could have it all to themselves.
That's how I feel

Reply:I don't know, it should be. I believe that truth should always be taught. I didn't know anything about the Indians treatment by the white man until I dated an Indian man about 18 years ago.

Reply:because unfortunately natives weren't then nor are we now considered people.still today we are denied many rights taken for granted by everyone else.still does white society try and impose this sorry way of living called "civilization" on native peoples.i say sorry way of living because i don't,cant see what is so civilized in it.what and where is the civility in lying,cheating,stealing as well as attempted genocide?

I think that people just like to play ostrich sometimes and stick their heads in the sand. If they don't know about it, then they don't have to think about it or be ashamed of it. I guess no country wants to admit to near genocide.

Reply:*Crazy Horse*.... Whoa! .... slow down, take a deep breath and listen VERY carefully..... "The victor writes the history"!
If the Seven Tribes had won the Indian Wars in the 1800s, we'd have totally different history books.
The ironic thing is that the only Americans living on LEGALLY obtained land are those living on the island of Manhattan. Every other American is living on illegally occupied land that was given, in treaty after treaty, to the Native Tribes "as long as the grass shall grow and the sun shall shine."
Then they were violently subdued and displaced into the refugee camps where they still live.
But one thing the Native Tribes can be thankful for (in a strange way) is that they WERE concentrated in the refugee camps where they could pass on their heritage and, against all odds, keep their culture alive.
The Jews faced even greater odds and regained their homeland after two thousand years.
Be true to your gods and your land will be returned to you as well ..... Be strong!
Reply:Unfortunately, history is always written by the victorious - in this case, the "white man". The oppressor is never going to willing admit that they did any wrong - at least not until a long period of time has passed.
It doesn't make it right, but this is the way it HAS been - but as a society, it is our duty to learn the truth!
Our modern society is much more understanding than it ever has been - and there are a lot of us who know that we aren't being told the whole truth. History at least is willing to touch on these subjects - it is up to the individual to take it to the next step.
Part of the reason such atrocities are not taught in school is that "they" (meaning the schools) don't want to touch on such "sensitive" subjects - which is also why they never go into detail about the Holocaust either...
Reply:Actually I was taught those things in school. There are lots of innaccuracies in our history classes across the country, though (including the one you mentioned).
I think its sad when our history is changed to suit the needs of others, and I agree with your frustration.
Reply:a little angry I see. I did learn about it no matter what you think I didn't learn in school. and it was painfully obvious. those who choose to believe there is no other side are truly ignorant. the board of education and the parents control what the students get to hear. if parents don't want their kids to learn about the gruesome side of history then that is what happens. every war that we engage in has its ugly side. war and battles are never a win.
Reply:Simple, the "winners" write the history....
Reply:its because white people "settled" this land and they also ended up being the ones who wrote the history books. i read this one book about the native americans and it was US history according to them and it seemed alot more true than the white mans history book. i used to complain about this in my school days and the teachers would just ignore it or go on the white mans side.
Reply:You are wrong, it was taught in my high school school. BTW, Hitler was worse, and he would have had your people exterminated too, he only wanted arian type people to live.

Answer me Christians, (Pagans are invited to Comment)?
Read the Following completely or don’t read anything at all: -
1.Christ was executed in 0 A.D. and in late 300 A.D. did the Roman citizens convert,(before that none of their middle class or rulers converted) This was because Constantine took the help of the Slaves and Civil servants of the lower rung who had converted because they had no political say, and after Constantine captured power he Forced all the Romans to convert or else Die.
2.People of France , and other North Eastern European countries were Nordic, Celtic etc. after the Roman Catholic Church defeated them they converted the political class by force, but the Masses did not convert, after which the Church imposed high agricultural tax on all the Non Christians and exempted those people who were Christian that is why these people were forced to convert (economical coercion).
3.People of Spain were not Christians, when defeated by Roman Catholic Church Did not see the Light so the Church used The Spanish Rack(torture device) on 100000 people and these victims were publicly tortured after which Spaniards saw the Light and Converted.
4.The Red Indians Dominated U. S. A. in the 1500 A.D. when the pilgrims came, they(red Indians) did not see light so the Church handed out Cholera Blankets which resulted in the mass Genocide of 2 million Red Indians and now they are a minority.
What I want to say from my above statements is your religion has throughout History been imposed rather than people flocking
Towards it , to prove my statements I shall say that in India many Christian missionaries are there and everybody knows that Hindus are more Docile than Cows yet Majority they have not converted , The Majority of Buddhist have not converted (they are the brother of Hindus)
Many people in African countries are converting mainly the famine stricken tribals the B.B.C channel has shown how Christian Evangelical Organizations are converting these people By offering 100 $ to each convertee,
Use simple Logic if Europe overnight saw the light and converted peacefully just by reading the Bible then the same effect it should have had in Asia all should have converted yet they haven’t
Nowadays more poor people from Africa and poor countries are thronging to convert for Economical Bribes.
Many people who are middle class and upper middle class of India(about 300 million ) are not converting on mass scale even when most of them have knowledge of the Bible . So In my opinion if Constantine would not have been there You would have been a small sect even Know because Historically it has been proven that Thousands f other people have not flocked to you religion and no Race Civilization or Culture HaD ever Invited the Church in their Society.
And Only Countries Defeated By The Church and Christians have citizens who have converted.
Answer me Christians, (Pagans are invited to Comment)?
Completely agree. If your religion is really the truth then let people find it themselves.
Reply:All those statistics do not have reputable, verifiable evidence to support them. Therefore, the point is moot.
Reply:All that, and not a single question. What did I miss?
Reply:I read your claims and they are true and well founded. Your insight has great merit, and truth to it. I only have this to add to your statements of fact. More innocent people have died in the name of Christianity than any other cause throughout history. It seems that the true message is not getting through. It's about LOVE and PEACE, not DEATH and TAXES. God never asked for money, land, wealth, riches or fanatical followers; he asked that all humankind endowed with freewill choose of their own volition to follow him. It is the madness of MEN that these things have transpired. Such will be his WRATH at the awakening. No one man,one culture, one country, or united group of countries has the ownership of Christianity, and with so many interpretations, factions, sects and denominations within religion, they are all wrong, and have fallen into the madness of fanatical religion. I'm sorry for them all, for they know not what they have done and will do in the name of religion. If one look to a religion and people that have and still walk in the light; look to the followers of BUDDHA, and the Dahlia Llama; and if Hindu's are their brothers, then some of the TRUE concepts of GOD have reach a small portion of humanity.
I will see you on the other side, after the awakening and we can talk to eternity's end on the follies of MAN; for you have opened your eyes and you have seen the truth..
Reply:I don't see a question here, only an editorial. Be nice, though, if you had your facts straight. Logic doesn't work if you have faulty facts or assumptions.
To start with, Christ was crucified around 33 AD, though the dating is iffy by 3 or 4 years either way because the Romans and Jews used different calendars and the Gregorian calendar was adopted much later.
Constantine was already a candidate for emperor before his conversion following the defeat of Maxsentius in AD 312. The subsequent state adoption of the faith may, however, have been the worst thing that every happened to the church (in my opinion). It opened to door to all kinds of corruption and abuse, including the Inquisition, forced conversions, anti-semitism, etc., none of which an honest Christian denies and is not sorry for.
It is, however, incorrect to say that the Roman Catholic Church conquered France or Spain or the British Isles. Europe was conquered by the Roman empire (Julius Caesar : "All Gaul is divided into three parts...") several decades before Christ was born. Christianity spread there, and eastward into India and north thru Greece and Macendonia into Russia rapdily during the first century, long before it became a 'legitimate' and officially sanctioned faith. Converts were made my the persuasive arguments of the gospel -- as they are today, the bribery of a scant few unscrupulous 'missionaries' aside (if you take the BBC story at face value -- I do not.)
If anything or anyone was conquered, it was the Church, as wave after wave of 'barbarians' assaulted the Empire. The Church was also 'conquered' by its accommodation and adoption of many pagan practices after Constantine.
People convert to any religion (or become atheists) for a variety of reasons. Real conversion to Christianity is based on one's reaction to Christ and the validity of His resurrection, not the historical record of those who have claimed to follow Him. (On the other hand, for everyone who has abused the name of Christ, there are a hundred or more who have lived faithfully. But they don't make many headlines because good behavior doesn't sell newspapers.) The abuses of some who SAY they are adherents of any given faith do not negate the validity of that faith any more than the abuse of driving privileges negate the value of the automobile.
I'd suggest you look at the source material -- the Bible -- and forget this revisionist horse hockey.

I will say there is still hope for you to repent.
However I mark your question Bad, because your summaries are what you and your master plan as the next target to get those who are not solid in the faith, and those who are yet to convert.

Reply:Coercion never converted anybody, except those who had something to gain or lose from it. Then I would question legitimacy of such conversions. The reality is that the church was spread just fine before Constantine made it the official religion of the Roman Empire. It had grown so powerful, that it was becoming a threat to his powerbase. In a matter of 300 years, Christianity had converted as much as 10% of the Roman Empire and had expanded well into India and was making its way into China without the help of conquering armies and imperial decrees.
What happened when Constantine made it the official religion, it stifled the growth of Christianity, rather than bolstering it. Christianity became a cultural norm, and with that, came all the baggage of politics and coercion that get attached to it. Almost immediately, power players latched on to the faith and saw it as a way of political gain. This same pattern is observable all through history: look at the Church of England history, Colonial America, and other theocratic states that were set up. It is also true that people have used the name of Christ to conquer others, such as the episodes you mention above and the crusades to name a few. There are many dark chapters in the history of Christianity, but that doesn't make it all bad. And I’d say this is not at all the way Christ would have tried to expand the faith, but rather using the methods missionaries like the apostle Paul used.
Now I disagree with you on the basis of modern conversions. China is a prime example. Christianity is growing there at a rate never before seen in history. After Mao attempted to eradicate religion from China, he set up what would become the one of the most spiritually hungry places on earth. Nobody is making the Chinese come to Christ through coercion, and in fact the government goes through extreme measure to stop the spread of Christianity. Even at 3%, there are 36 million Christians in China, and that was 12 years ago. The Joshua Project estimates that there are about 96,600,000 Christians in China in 2006. In 1980, there were less than 1,000,000 Christians. That means 9600% growth has happened in 26 years. One cannot simply brush that under the rug.
Also, in southern Sudan, there are people coming to the Christian faith in droves too. I think this has a lot to do with their surroundings. Sudan is war torn by different factions of politics fighting. On the other hand though, there are Christian relief organizations attempting to help the Sudanese. If the alien faith is trying to bring peace, and you want peace, then you would embrace the alien faith that brings peace. The Sudanese Christians are still persecuted and still impoverished, but their conversions aren’t a result of bribes as you propose. It may be true that there are some people who bribe people into accepting their faith, but I don't think that represents the majority or even a significant portion of conversions.

Reply:First of all you don't know History, Christ was crucified in 32 AD. Secondly there is a huge difference in Catholics and those who have traditionally followed Christ. Jesus never counseled His followers to be warlike. In one instance when they asked Him if they should command fire to come down from Heaven and devour their adversaries, He responded "I came to kill and destroy but to save". Those of us in the small remnant who follow His word, do not kill. We have never done so, there was always just a remnant of true Christians and then the others like Constantine who blended many pagan traditions with a misture of the words of Christ and called themselves Christians. Don't be fooled. I honestly don't blame you all for thinking such things, but we real Christians are just a small, small group.

1.Christ was executed in 0 A.D. and in late 300 A.D. did the Roman citizens convert,(before that none of their middle class or rulers converted) This was because Constantine took the help of the Slaves and Civil servants of the lower rung who had converted because they had no political say, and after Constantine captured power he Forced all the Romans to convert or else Die.
2.People of France , and other North Eastern European countries were Nordic, Celtic etc. after the Roman Catholic Church defeated them they converted the political class by force, but the Masses did not convert, after which the Church imposed high agricultural tax on all the Non Christians and exempted those people who were Christian that is why these people were forced to convert (economical coercion).
3.People of Spain were not Christians, when defeated by Roman Catholic Church Did not see the Light so the Church used The Spanish Rack(torture device) on 100000 people and these victims were publicly tortured after which Spaniards saw the Light and Converted.
4.The Red Indians Dominated U. S. A. in the 1500 A.D. when the pilgrims came, they(red Indians) did not see light so the Church handed out Cholera Blankets which resulted in the mass Genocide of 2 million Red Indians and now they are a minority.
What I want to say from my above statements is your religion has throughout History been imposed rather than people flocking
Towards it , to prove my statements I shall say that in India many Christian missionaries are there and everybody knows that Hindus are more Docile than Cows yet Majority they have not converted , The Majority of Buddhist have not converted (they are the brother of Hindus)
Many people in African countries are converting mainly the famine stricken tribals the B.B.C channel has shown how Christian Evangelical Organizations are converting these people By offering 100 $ to each convertee,
Use simple Logic if Europe overnight saw the light and converted peacefully just by reading the Bible then the same effect it should have had in Asia all should have converted yet they haven’t
Nowadays more poor people from Africa and poor countries are thronging to convert for Economical Bribes.
Many people who are middle class and upper middle class of India(about 300 million ) are not converting on mass scale even when most of them have knowledge of the Bible . So In my opinion if Constantine would not have been there You would have been a small sect even Know because Historically it has been proven that Thousands f other people have not flocked to you religion and no Race Civilization or Culture HaD ever Invited the Church in their Society.
And Only Countries Defeated By The Church and Christians have citizens who have converted.

Reply:All those statistics do not have reputable, verifiable evidence to support them. Therefore, the point is moot.
Reply:All that, and not a single question. What did I miss?
Reply:I read your claims and they are true and well founded. Your insight has great merit, and truth to it. I only have this to add to your statements of fact. More innocent people have died in the name of Christianity than any other cause throughout history. It seems that the true message is not getting through. It's about LOVE and PEACE, not DEATH and TAXES. God never asked for money, land, wealth, riches or fanatical followers; he asked that all humankind endowed with freewill choose of their own volition to follow him. It is the madness of MEN that these things have transpired. Such will be his WRATH at the awakening. No one man,one culture, one country, or united group of countries has the ownership of Christianity, and with so many interpretations, factions, sects and denominations within religion, they are all wrong, and have fallen into the madness of fanatical religion. I'm sorry for them all, for they know not what they have done and will do in the name of religion. If one look to a religion and people that have and still walk in the light; look to the followers of BUDDHA, and the Dahlia Llama; and if Hindu's are their brothers, then some of the TRUE concepts of GOD have reach a small portion of humanity.
I will see you on the other side, after the awakening and we can talk to eternity's end on the follies of MAN; for you have opened your eyes and you have seen the truth..
Reply:I don't see a question here, only an editorial. Be nice, though, if you had your facts straight. Logic doesn't work if you have faulty facts or assumptions.
To start with, Christ was crucified around 33 AD, though the dating is iffy by 3 or 4 years either way because the Romans and Jews used different calendars and the Gregorian calendar was adopted much later.
Constantine was already a candidate for emperor before his conversion following the defeat of Maxsentius in AD 312. The subsequent state adoption of the faith may, however, have been the worst thing that every happened to the church (in my opinion). It opened to door to all kinds of corruption and abuse, including the Inquisition, forced conversions, anti-semitism, etc., none of which an honest Christian denies and is not sorry for.
It is, however, incorrect to say that the Roman Catholic Church conquered France or Spain or the British Isles. Europe was conquered by the Roman empire (Julius Caesar : "All Gaul is divided into three parts...") several decades before Christ was born. Christianity spread there, and eastward into India and north thru Greece and Macendonia into Russia rapdily during the first century, long before it became a 'legitimate' and officially sanctioned faith. Converts were made my the persuasive arguments of the gospel -- as they are today, the bribery of a scant few unscrupulous 'missionaries' aside (if you take the BBC story at face value -- I do not.)
If anything or anyone was conquered, it was the Church, as wave after wave of 'barbarians' assaulted the Empire. The Church was also 'conquered' by its accommodation and adoption of many pagan practices after Constantine.
People convert to any religion (or become atheists) for a variety of reasons. Real conversion to Christianity is based on one's reaction to Christ and the validity of His resurrection, not the historical record of those who have claimed to follow Him. (On the other hand, for everyone who has abused the name of Christ, there are a hundred or more who have lived faithfully. But they don't make many headlines because good behavior doesn't sell newspapers.) The abuses of some who SAY they are adherents of any given faith do not negate the validity of that faith any more than the abuse of driving privileges negate the value of the automobile.
I'd suggest you look at the source material -- the Bible -- and forget this revisionist horse hockey.
Reply:No problem,. mate. We don't want you in our church anyway, so no one's going to try and convert you. Please..just stay where you are and keep away from us Christians, we DON'T WANT YOU!
Reply:I agree with you; I'm pagan, and only sought Christianity at a time in my life when I was too naive to know there were alternatives. However, there is no question in this posting, so why are you here??? What are you wanting us to "answer"?
Reply:I don't know what to say but to laugh at your master the Devil
he is a failure just like you.
You better think of Jesus now that you have breath on your nose
I will say Christians has been the most peaceful on planet Earth that we stay or live on.
I will say there is still hope for you to repent.
However I mark your question Bad, because your summaries are what you and your master plan as the next target to get those who are not solid in the faith, and those who are yet to convert.
I bet you, if you don't stop, you will end like this, and the next thing is hell.
Repent and follow Jesus while you breathe yet

Reply:I am a christian who believe that the creation of Adam and Eve was a special creation that would bring the Christ into the world. I can not justify the evidence of the natural world with just what story we are given in the Bible, though I believe what the Bible teaches is the truth. The Bible is not a history book nor a book of science. It is a book of faith. Just because the Bible doesn't tell the full story of creation doesn't mean the outline doesn't contain the truth. I know it took multi millions of years for the earth to become what it is. This at one time put me in a hard place. But why couldn't or wouldn' t God prepare the world for His children with natural creation. Seems logical to me that there was a lot more going on than God explained to men. Moses had very limited knowledge and very limited ability to understand all that God had done so the outline Moses was given is limited. As far as your question on salvation. The bible teaches that is comes thru faith in Jesus Christ, and by His grace. No respecter of person if any of your example met this qualification they are saved. If they refuse then they are not. I think the message I have just told you in REFUSE. It looks as though, so far anyway, you refuse. Will God know who would have excepted Him is told YES.. God be the judge here. Present Western Culture and for that matter past Western behavior is not Christian and has nothing to do with Christ or those who believe on Him. True political christian as often right wing republicans. Still politics has nothing to do with faith. They are separate thing and most Western nations want it that way. If you don't most Islamic nations had no such ideas maybe you would be happier there.... Jim

The Bible is not a history book nor a book of science. It is a book of faith. Just because the Bible doesn't tell the full story of creation doesn't mean the outline doesn't contain the truth. I know it took multi millions of years for the earth to become what it is. This at one time put me in a hard place. But why couldn't or wouldn' t God prepare the world for His children with natural creation. Seems logical to me that there was a lot more going on than God explained to men. Moses had very limited knowledge and very limited ability to understand all that God had done so the outline Moses was given is limited. As far as your question on salvation. The bible teaches that is comes thru faith in Jesus Christ, and by His grace. No respecter of person if any of your example met this qualification they are saved. If they refuse then they are not. I think the message I have just told you in REFUSE. It looks as though, so far anyway, you refuse. Will God know who would have excepted Him is told YES.. God be the judge here. Present Western Culture and for that matter past Western behavior is not Christian and has nothing to do with Christ or those who believe on Him. True political christian as often right wing republicans. Still politics has nothing to do with faith. They are separate thing and most Western nations want it that way. If you don't most Islamic nations had no such ideas maybe you would be happier there.... Jim

What are your thoughts about the Chemically infected FEMA trailers?
My thoughts come to this...The Federal Government wants Indian lands and as I have read it is time once again for ethnic cleansing!....this reminds me of when they supplied my ancestors with blankets from their dead to spread smallpox disease...now they want to give these Infected FEMA trailers to people on Pine Ridge....WTF?....Funny they were refused the trailers when FEMA's director said they had to be moved East in case they were needed.....in case of storm emergencies or winter...whoever heard of them bringing trailers after a blizzard?....It is said that once the news came out that Katrina Victims were getting sick due to formaldehyde(in the trailers) only than they wanted to send them to PINE RIDGE and other Nations...Don't they (government) know that ....Once again the Lakota are on the receiving end of sickness from the government because of the minerals in their land!.... will this ever end?
What are your thoughts about the Chemically infected FEMA trailers?
SEE. . and not too long ago ol blue eyes was complaining "how come the indians get em!?!?!?"
See this sh!t whitey, THIS is STILL going on. The WAR isn't over, and it WONT be over until they feel they killed us ALL.
WHAT they WONT understand is the word DEFECTIVE.
That's ALL they govt EVER 'gave' us. From housing all the way down to food.
Sure the sheep WILL make up excuses, they HAVE to. It's the ONLY way they can sleep at night.
As for 'AID' they're perfectly willing to turn a blind eye to the BILLIONS going OUT of this country, but heaven forbid they help US out. . . . and they wonder why we don't TRUST them.
we WANTED reservations?!?! ROFLMAO
JESUS Freakin Christ!!!
are you REALLY that DENSE???
wanted reservations. . . SOMEBODY PLEASE SCHOOL THIS MORON!!!
Reply:A chemical can not infect anything only a living organism. A chemical can permeate something and make it dangerous but infection is a product of a live organism.
Reply:The point of your 'question' is to lambaste the government. Formaldehyde is in all new carpets. I have lived in a new trailer, and the fumes are sickening if the trailer is kept tightly closed. Even new carpet installed in regular homes is chemically loaded. That's how it's manufactured. Better venting and exchanges of fresh air with locked in trailer air will prevent illness from any fumes from new materials inside.
As for the Lakota, and other Indian victimizations you refer to, I don't believe the government did such things, whatever did happen was by individuals with evil and hate in their heart and mind. There's a lot of that going around.
The Indians wanted their own reservations, yet they still want the government to help. There's a big world out there, get out and enjoy it.
My husband's mother was a Blackfoot, so I'm not against Indians. Try to rid your heart of bitterness and let the sun and love of God shine in. May God bless you.

Anybody wanna read a story?
wrote this the other day... tell me what u think!!
Chapter 1
I woke up to my alarm clock blaring in my ear. I looked over, 7:48, CRAP!!!, school starts at 8:15. I rolled out of bed and into the shower, not even opening my eyes. The water hadn’t warmed up yet and it was freezing. Well, at least I was awake now. My eyes burst open and I washed my hair and quickly shut off the water, not even bothering to do the rest of my body. I half dried myself off and threw on the first thing I saw in the top drawer. I rushed downstairs packed my bag, grabbed my purse and said goodbye to my mom, dad, and little sister.
In the car, I turned on the radio and listened to Steve and Jesse. My mom and I had been listening to them since I was about seven. I reached in my purse and pulled out a few energy bars. At a red light, I unwrapped a bar and took a bite out of it. It tasted like tar, but it was better than nothing. I turned into my best friend’s neighborhood; her parents had taken her license away for an unfair speeding ticket she’d gotten last week. I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting outside.
“What happened?” she smiled, “You were supposed to be here ten minutes ago!”
“Get in,” I moaned.
She opened the passenger door and looked at my half open eyes, and the three energy bar wrappers on the floor of the 99 Maxima, “Overslept again?” she half teased, half asked.
“Oh yea, I’ve been up for about fifteen minutes” I said.
I backed up and scraped the bottom of the car on her driveway.
“UHHHH.” Maybe not such a great move.
“Oh my gosh, you do that every time”
I laughed and made a face at her.
“We’re gonna be so late.”
“Oh well.”
Chapter 2
At school, Claire and I walked over and sat down with David, Seth, Gray, Lauren, Jo, Holley, Ricky, and Jordan.
“Whoa, said Lauren, you better come with me.”
Lauren walked me into the deserted girls’ bathroom. She went into a stall and took off her shirt and handed it to me, it was a teal tank top, she handed me a white cap sleeve undershirt with a V- neck that went perfectly with the hoop neck of the tank top.
“Here,” she said, “This matches your skirt much better than a red T-shirt,” For the first time today I looked down at what I was wearing. I felt embarrassed that I had even walked outside in this horrific outfit. I laughed, thanked her and pulled the shirt over my head and replaced it with the super cute and moderately tight tank top. Lauren came out with the red t-shirt on, it looked good on her. She cinched in the back with a ponytail holder and pulled my makeup bag out of my purse.
“OK, you do eyes, I’ll do lips and cheeks.”
“Thank you,” I stammered again.
“Hey, what are friends for? Rough morning? Ha, you have to start getting to bed earlier”
I closed my eyes and laughed. “Lauren, I love you.”
“Hey, no moving,” she said as she put the finishing touches on my lipgloss, “Now hurry up, we’ve got ten minutes.”
I pulled out the eyeliner and went to work. I finished just before the bell went off. I hugged Lauren and left for first period, WORLD HISTORY, uhhhh, my least favorite class.
Chapter 3
I walked into World History.
“Your Late,” said my teacher sternly.
“Sorry Mr.Hammond.” I said. I turned around and walked towards Claire, who had saved me a seat and rolled my eyes to her about the teacher.
“WOOW,” said Claire, “You look much better. Lauren fixed you up?”
“Yea, she’s a life saver.”
“SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!,” yelled Mr. Hammond.
“I swear, a drop of spit just flew from his mouth on the complete other side of the room and hit me in the eye!!”
I laughed. I laughed LOUD!! Mr. Hammond whipped around and glared at me. You know, Ms. Hamilton, I could give you a tardy for being two minutes late to my class for the third time in four days. You wouldn’t want detention again, now would you? He turned back around and so did I.
“OOOOOOOOOOPS!” I mouthed to Claire.
She rolled her eyes and smiled at me.
* * *
At lunch, I met up with the rest of the group.
“SOOOOOOOOOOOO, what’s the news with you and Nathon?” Jo asked me. (OK, I know Jo sounds like a guy name, but it’s short for Jordan)
Everyone leaned forward and a wide smile spread over Claire’s face. I had called her last night to tell her the news.
“Well, I told you that we went to the movies on Saturday, right?” Everyone nodded. “After that, he called me and we talked until two in the morning. Then, on Sunday, we talked on IM and he asked me out. We went on our first date last night.”
The guys leaned back and took a bite out of their sandwiches, but all the girls gasped.
“SO?” Jordan (other Jordan) smiled.
“Well, he took me to dinner, and then he took me to the mall and got one of the vendors to distract me while he slipped into the jewelry store and bought me this necklace”
I held it up so everyone can see. It was red diamonds in the shape of a heart with one white diamond in the middle. On the clasp in the back, was a capital “N” for Nathon. I assumed the diamonds were fake, but they looked incredibly real. When I looked down at it, I felt the same way I had when he snuck up behind me, and put it on. It took my breath away.
That’s when I noticed that I had the absolute perfect life. A family that loved me, friends that I cared about and I could tell anything, and that I feel the same way about. AND, I had a totally sweet boyfriend who only wants me to be happy. At that moment, I was truly happy. Little did I know, that all of that could change in just a second.
Chapter 4
“AWWW, that’s sooo sweet, thank you!”
“You hang up first. NO YOU!!, NO!! I’m not gonna hang up, you have to. OK bye!!”
“THANK YOU!!” said Claire, she was sitting on the floor, propped up against the bed, holding a world history text book. “Now what pages of this book are we supposed to know for next week. Ummm, let me check, I pulled out my agenda and flipped it to today.
“Pages 234-251, wow, we’ve go a lot of work to do.”
“Let’s get started,” said Claire with fake enthusiasm. “Let’s read over this and then we’ll quiz each other when we’re done”
“Okay,”
We read quietly for about 4 minutes before Claire interrupted my train of thought.
“SO WAIT, Christopher Columbus was actually Portuguese, but he sailed for Spain???”
“yea,”
“Why?” she said
“Well, if you would actually read the rest of the material, you would know that the Portuguese cheapskates they call royalty wouldn’t give him any money to sail, so he turned around and asked the Spanish Queen for money and she gave it to him. I bet Portugal felt pretty stupid after that he discovered a new continent and all,”
“I don’t blame them for not funding his little trip thingy, Christopher Columbus was a jerk. HE KILLED INDIANS!”
“Okay, he was a jerk, but if he hadn’t had been born, America might not be here now.”
“Yes it would be, Amerigo Vespucci is the one that deserves the credit, I bet none even knows who HE is.”
“Pshhhhh, whatever, just go back to the book,” I answered with a smile, and we again went into silence
Chapter 5
On Friday, I was a little better at getting up than on the day before. I woke up at 6:30 sharp. I got out of bed and went to turn the hot water while I carefully picked out today’s outfit. I laid it out and went to get in the shower. In was nice and warm. Better than yesterday. I finished in the shower and put on the outfit. I turned towards the mirror and looked at myself, much better than yesterday. I pulled my wet hair back and went downstairs to eat breakfast.
In the kitchen, I poured a bowl of cereal, sat down at the table and waited for the rest of my family to come in. Dad was the first .
“I see your awake this time, your getting better!”
I rolled my eyes. “HAHAHA!! DAD YOUR SOOOOO FUNNY YOU SHOULD WARN ME BEFORE YOU CRACK ONE LIKE THAT!!” I joked sarcastically. I looked over at him and laughed, for real this time. He was not too amused. Then Michelle walked into the room. She yawned. Her hair was frazzled and she looked like I did yesterday.
“How’s it goin’?” I asked her.
“Muchucachidoskqla,” was her response.
“Hmmm,” I said, “Well tell me how that goes.”
“ielkkvfdfo shower”
I finished my cereal and walked upstairs. Michelle was there. Her hair was wet and straightened out again.
“AHH, I feel better”
I laughed, and finished brushing my teeth. I glanced over at the clock, 7:19. Okay, I need to leave at 7:40, I let my hair down and started to dry it. Then I put my makeup on and went downstairs. Mom had set out my sandwich and chips, my drink was in the fridge. I packed it in a lunchbox and set it on the counter. Then I went over and packed my book bag.
I put it in the car and drove to Claire’s. She wasn’t waiting outside today. I went up to the door and her mother motioned for me to come in.
“Claire’s upstairs, sweetie, would you like a piece of toast?”
“No thanks Mrs. Tortan, I’m just going to go upstairs and see Claire” I responded
“Okay honey; tell me if you need anything”
* * *
“Claire??, cmon, are you ready?”
I walked by her room and noticed her long, lean body standing in the middle, applying finishing touches to her lipgloss. She smacked her lips together and looked over at me.
“Your early,” she said. “I’m almost ready, hold on”
Chapter 6
Nathon called after school.
“Leanne,” he sighed into the phone.
“Yes?” I asked, afraid that he was going to dump me. “What’s up?”
“I….I’m in jail”
“What???” I yelled loudly.
I heared my mom drop her fork downstairs. I didn’t even care.
“What do you mean your in jail? You…You can’t be in jail….You’ve got good grades, you’ve got a life….You’ve got friends….You’ve got me!!!”
“I know, I know”
“Whaaaaa… WHAT?”
“I’m sorry okay?! I don’t need another person on my back!!”
“I’m coming down; they’ll let me in, right?”
“yea.”
“Well, I’m sorry, I’ve never been to jail before.”
“Just tell them you’re here to see Nathon Kingston” he said, and then hung up the phone.
“MOOOOM!, I’m going to go to Claire’s house, Okay???”
“Okay, say hi to her mom for me. Are you spending the night?”
“No, I’ll be back in a couple hours, Bye”
* * *
In the car, I couldn’t breath. So many questions were racing through my head.
What did he do? Why did he do it? Could I have stopped it? Does his mom kn…
My cell phone rang. I reached down to answer it. I accidentally ran through a red light. I heard a horn and looked up to see the headlights of a Mack Truck headed straight toward me. Then, blackness.
* * *
I awoke to a beeping machine and a white room. My mom was sitting nervously in a chair beside my bed, biting her nails and rocking back and forth. When she saw my eyes opening she jumped up and gasped.
“Whaa… What time is it.” I mumbled groggily.
“It’s 5:30 in the afternoon honey. We got a call from the hospital at 9:00 on Friday night. They said you were in a car wreck. It’s now Sunday. We.. We were just glad you were alive.”
A nurse walked in. She was wearing a white cloak and carrying a clipboard.
“Your awake!!” She said. “You’ve been in a coma for almost 2 days now.”
“Wait, 2 days?”
“Leanne!!!”
I looked over. Lauren, Seth, Gray, Holley, Ricky, Erin, and Caroline were standing in the door, holing flowers, get well cards, and balloons. They came over quietly and the nurse stepped out to give the group some privacy.
“Holy Crap!” said Lauren. “Oh, Leanne, you’re a walking disaster!”
I laughed; I could tell I had scratches on my face from the way it stung when I smiled. They must have seen me wince, because their smiles fell off their faces when I did so. I tried to act like it wasn’t a big deal.
“We bought you some balloons!!!” said Lauren. Everyone laughed.
“Oh Lauren, you always know what to say.” Said Erin.
Caroline was fiddling with her phone in her hands. I remembered that hospitals make her nervous. Her dad had died 10 months after being admitted from cancer when she was nine. It must have taken a lot of courage for her to even walk through the door. I wanted to hug her. I wanted to hug all of them. I wanted to stand up and kiss them all on the cheek, but I couldn’t because me leg was wrapped up on gaws and hurt terribly.
Then, I thought of Nathon and about what happened on Friday night. I wondered if I had dreamed it. I laid there thinking about him sitting in his cell, alone, eating cold soup with a spoon; wondering why I never came to visit. Hopefully he was up for bail and his parents had come to pick him up. Then why wasn’t he here? Claire had his number and surely would have called him? Wouldn’t she have? That’s silly. Of course she would have! I looked up at her smiling face. Ricky had said something funny that I hadn’t caught. Everyone was laughing. Her curly black hair was tied up in a ponytail on the back of her head. Her teeth were white and straight; she had never had braces; she had never needed them. She wasn’t wearing any makeup; she didn’t need that either.
“Hey!” I said seriously. Everyone stopped smiling and looked at me. “What happened to Nathon? Did they let him out?”
“No,” Claire said.
“He’s not on bail?? What did he do??” I was generally bewildered and reached for the necklace he had given me. It was not around my neck. I looked on the nightstand. It was not there either. They knew what I was looking for. I looked up, my eyebrows raised.
“Where is it?”
They all looked around, wondering who would have to tell me.
“They took it.” Said Caroline. My eyebrows raised even higher
“They? Care to elaborate?”
“The police did, It was evidence,” Holley finished.
“Evidence?? Evidence for what?”
“For Nathon’s case,” I opened my mouth, then closed it. I was a little still a little slow being in a coma.
“Leanne, he stole the necklace,” Said Claire.
“NO!” I said, “NO! he wouldn’t do it.”
“He loves you and knew you would love it, but do you think his job as a BILO bagger boy would cover it?”
“Well, how long is he in jail, can he get out on bail?
“Leanne, his bail is $10,000, do you think hid parents can afford that?”
“$10,000?” I yelled, “My God, for stealing a necklace?”
Just then the nurse rushed in. “Kids, I’m very sorry, but visiting hours are over. This girl needs her rest. She’s got 6 broken bones and she hasn’t had real food in 2 days. She’s also due for a blood pressure check.”
My friends looked sad to leave me, but in a way they looked relieved. They all came up and hugged me before they left.
“I’ll come tomorrow, okay?” said Claire.
I smiled and said that would be good.
Once everyone left, the nurse came up and took my blood pressure.
“I’m Anna, by the way. Are you hungry?”
“Yes mam” I said.
“I’ll get you some crushed ice, and if you can eat that without feeling queasy, I’ll give you some Saltines.”
Chapter 7
The nurse came in with the cup of crushed ice.
“CHEW this” she said, “Don’t let it melt in your mouth.”
I reached with my left hand to take the cup and noticed the IV sticking out of it. Then, I looked up at the beeping machine that was monitoring my heart rate. I must have looked bewildered because the nurse said, “You’re in a very serious medical condition, Ms. Hamilton, lucky to be alive with all of your limbs.” I shivered and looked down at my feet, which were covered by a blanket. I tried to wiggle my toes, but the pain in them was immense. Even though my friends bore bad news, I was sad that they had left so soon. With them here, I had almost forgotten about the slow, heavy, lurching pain that made me so weak.
I had finished my crushed ice and the nurse left me for 10 minutes to see what my body would do with it. She came back carrying, as promised, a box of Saltine crackers, and a juice box.
“I think it’s safe for you to eat this.” She smiled.
I took the snack from the nurse and looked at my mom, who had fallen asleep in the old chair next to my bed.
“Poor woman, Almost as torn up on the inside as you are on the outside about this. She hasn’t left this room or even slept since she got here on Friday. I ate a Saltine and sucked on the salt to make it crumble in my mouth. I very slowly took a sip of juice.
“2 questions,” I said. The nurse looked over at me. “Okay, what exactly is wrong with me? I mean, what’s broken?”
“You have two broken ribs, a fractured wrist, a shattered elbow, a dislocated knee cap, and a broken leg.”
“Hmm, that explains the awful pain I am in.”
Anna, as she liked me to call her, blinked and said, “Next question?”
“Umm, exactly how drugged up am I right now”
Anna laughed, “Very, if I gave you one more milliliter of morphine it would probably push you back into a coma, don’t worry though, I went to med school. I know what I’m doing.”
I smiled and got that tight feeling in my face again.
Anna handed me the remote to the small TV in the in the corner of the room. “You can watch something if you want to.” She said.
That’s when I looked across the room and noticed I had a roommate. She had no get well cards or worried parents around her bead. The machine next to her was beeping slowly and quietly.
“Whoa” I said, “Who’s that?”
Anna looked over. “That’s Cynthia,” she said, “She’s been here for a while, hasn’t woken up yet. Her parents are very hopeful although the doctors are not”
“Do you think she’ll wake up”
Anna shook her head. “She’s been asleep for 13 months, the family just needs to except that she is not going to wake up. I knew that girl before her accident, happy and healthy. She wouldn’t want to be living like this.”
“Her accident?” I asked, “What happened?”
“She fell 5 stories out a window of an office building right into the streets. As if that weren’t enough, she was then hit by a car moving at 40 miles an hour.” I cringed, that made my accident look like child’s play. Her face and arms were scared and bruised. Gosh, 13 months, that means this happened in December, right before Christmas. In December, my biggest problem was what I was going to get for my family for Christmas, or maybe even what I was going to wear to the high school dance. I certainly didn’t think about not living to see another Christmas.
I stopped and closed my mouth. Anna must have noticed the sadness in my eyes.
“Hmmmm,” she said, “Maybe she will wake up after all. I once read a story in the paper about a lady who was in a comma for 2 years before she woke up.”
“There’s a reason why that story made the news.” I grumbled.
The nurse turned around and handed me in the TV remote. “What Sweetie?” she asked
“Uh, nothing, nothing” I replied.
I turned the TV to my favorite channel. “What not to Wear” was on. I had been watching that show since I was a kid. That’s wear I had gotten all my fashion tips. Stacy and Clinton were throwing away a poor blonde girl’s wardrobe. She wasn;t fighting, like some of the other girls would, she was just standing to the side, almost in tears. Stacy looked over and dropped the ugly Beatles shirt she was making fun of.
“Hon, you will love us when we are done here. You see this,” Stacy said, “This is CRAP!”
“CRAP!” Clinton chimed in.
“You are better than this.” Stacy Concluded. “We are gonna get your outside…” She waved her fingers and motioned at the girl. “to match your inside…”
The girl looked up at Stacy, her mousy blonde hair in front if her face. “Ohhh, thank you,”
“Okay, well, we’ll take care of the rest of this stuff, now you go and start spending that $5,000.”
“Okay, thanks guys” the girl said, wiping off her tears and smiling.
The commercials came on and I surfed through the rest of the channels.
Then I noticed I had to use the bathroom. I called for Anna.
“Is there anyway I can get to the bathroom?”
She smiled pathetically and shook her head.
“Not in that condition, honey,” she said, and handed me a bedpan.
I rolled my eyes and put my eyes and decided I would wait a little more on that one.
Chapter 8
When I woke up the next day, my mom was standing over me, smiling. The smile was bittersweet, but it still felt good to be smiled at. I closed my eyes and opened them again after a few seconds. When I opened them again, my mom wasn’t looking at me any more. She was looking at the door. I turned to look. It was my dad and little sister were standing in it. Michelle looked disturbed; she came and sat by my bed.
I imagined what I must have looked like to her. She had always looked up to me for advice. Now I was stuck helpless in the hospital bed, just waiting for the nurse to come in and feed me. Like a little unmoving baby bird, just waiting for the mom to come home and toss a worm into its mouth. I felt the

I woke up to my alarm clock blaring in my ear. I looked over, 7:48, CRAP!!!, school starts at 8:15. I rolled out of bed and into the shower, not even opening my eyes. The water hadn’t warmed up yet and it was freezing. Well, at least I was awake now. My eyes burst open and I washed my hair and quickly shut off the water, not even bothering to do the rest of my body. I half dried myself off and threw on the first thing I saw in the top drawer. I rushed downstairs packed my bag, grabbed my purse and said goodbye to my mom, dad, and little sister.
In the car, I turned on the radio and listened to Steve and Jesse. My mom and I had been listening to them since I was about seven. I reached in my purse and pulled out a few energy bars. At a red light, I unwrapped a bar and took a bite out of it. It tasted like tar, but it was better than nothing. I turned into my best friend’s neighborhood; her parents had taken her license away for an unfair speeding ticket she’d gotten last week. I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting outside.
“What happened?” she smiled, “You were supposed to be here ten minutes ago!”
“Get in,” I moaned.
She opened the passenger door and looked at my half open eyes, and the three energy bar wrappers on the floor of the 99 Maxima, “Overslept again?” she half teased, half asked.
“Oh yea, I’ve been up for about fifteen minutes” I said.
I backed up and scraped the bottom of the car on her driveway.
“UHHHH.” Maybe not such a great move.
“Oh my gosh, you do that every time”
I laughed and made a face at her.
“We’re gonna be so late.”
“Oh well.”
Chapter 2
At school, Claire and I walked over and sat down with David, Seth, Gray, Lauren, Jo, Holley, Ricky, and Jordan.
“Whoa, said Lauren, you better come with me.”
Lauren walked me into the deserted girls’ bathroom. She went into a stall and took off her shirt and handed it to me, it was a teal tank top, she handed me a white cap sleeve undershirt with a V- neck that went perfectly with the hoop neck of the tank top.
“Here,” she said, “This matches your skirt much better than a red T-shirt,” For the first time today I looked down at what I was wearing. I felt embarrassed that I had even walked outside in this horrific outfit. I laughed, thanked her and pulled the shirt over my head and replaced it with the super cute and moderately tight tank top. Lauren came out with the red t-shirt on, it looked good on her. She cinched in the back with a ponytail holder and pulled my makeup bag out of my purse.
“OK, you do eyes, I’ll do lips and cheeks.”
“Thank you,” I stammered again.
“Hey, what are friends for? Rough morning? Ha, you have to start getting to bed earlier”
I closed my eyes and laughed. “Lauren, I love you.”
“Hey, no moving,” she said as she put the finishing touches on my lipgloss, “Now hurry up, we’ve got ten minutes.”
I pulled out the eyeliner and went to work. I finished just before the bell went off. I hugged Lauren and left for first period, WORLD HISTORY, uhhhh, my least favorite class.
Chapter 3
I walked into World History.
“Your Late,” said my teacher sternly.
“Sorry Mr.Hammond.” I said. I turned around and walked towards Claire, who had saved me a seat and rolled my eyes to her about the teacher.
“WOOW,” said Claire, “You look much better. Lauren fixed you up?”
“Yea, she’s a life saver.”
“SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!,” yelled Mr. Hammond.
“I swear, a drop of spit just flew from his mouth on the complete other side of the room and hit me in the eye!!”
I laughed. I laughed LOUD!! Mr. Hammond whipped around and glared at me. You know, Ms. Hamilton, I could give you a tardy for being two minutes late to my class for the third time in four days. You wouldn’t want detention again, now would you? He turned back around and so did I.
“OOOOOOOOOOPS!” I mouthed to Claire.
She rolled her eyes and smiled at me.
* * *
At lunch, I met up with the rest of the group.
“SOOOOOOOOOOOO, what’s the news with you and Nathon?” Jo asked me. (OK, I know Jo sounds like a guy name, but it’s short for Jordan)
Everyone leaned forward and a wide smile spread over Claire’s face. I had called her last night to tell her the news.
“Well, I told you that we went to the movies on Saturday, right?” Everyone nodded. “After that, he called me and we talked until two in the morning. Then, on Sunday, we talked on IM and he asked me out. We went on our first date last night.”
The guys leaned back and took a bite out of their sandwiches, but all the girls gasped.
“SO?” Jordan (other Jordan) smiled.
“Well, he took me to dinner, and then he took me to the mall and got one of the vendors to distract me while he slipped into the jewelry store and bought me this necklace”
I held it up so everyone can see. It was red diamonds in the shape of a heart with one white diamond in the middle. On the clasp in the back, was a capital “N” for Nathon. I assumed the diamonds were fake, but they looked incredibly real. When I looked down at it, I felt the same way I had when he snuck up behind me, and put it on. It took my breath away.
That’s when I noticed that I had the absolute perfect life. A family that loved me, friends that I cared about and I could tell anything, and that I feel the same way about. AND, I had a totally sweet boyfriend who only wants me to be happy. At that moment, I was truly happy. Little did I know, that all of that could change in just a second.
Chapter 4
“AWWW, that’s sooo sweet, thank you!”
“You hang up first. NO YOU!!, NO!! I’m not gonna hang up, you have to. OK bye!!”
“THANK YOU!!” said Claire, she was sitting on the floor, propped up against the bed, holding a world history text book. “Now what pages of this book are we supposed to know for next week. Ummm, let me check, I pulled out my agenda and flipped it to today.
“Pages 234-251, wow, we’ve go a lot of work to do.”
“Let’s get started,” said Claire with fake enthusiasm. “Let’s read over this and then we’ll quiz each other when we’re done”
“Okay,”
We read quietly for about 4 minutes before Claire interrupted my train of thought.
“SO WAIT, Christopher Columbus was actually Portuguese, but he sailed for Spain???”
“yea,”
“Why?” she said
“Well, if you would actually read the rest of the material, you would know that the Portuguese cheapskates they call royalty wouldn’t give him any money to sail, so he turned around and asked the Spanish Queen for money and she gave it to him. I bet Portugal felt pretty stupid after that he discovered a new continent and all,”
“I don’t blame them for not funding his little trip thingy, Christopher Columbus was a jerk. HE KILLED INDIANS!”
“Okay, he was a jerk, but if he hadn’t had been born, America might not be here now.”
“Yes it would be, Amerigo Vespucci is the one that deserves the credit, I bet none even knows who HE is.”
“Pshhhhh, whatever, just go back to the book,” I answered with a smile, and we again went into silence
Chapter 5
On Friday, I was a little better at getting up than on the day before. I woke up at 6:30 sharp. I got out of bed and went to turn the hot water while I carefully picked out today’s outfit. I laid it out and went to get in the shower. In was nice and warm. Better than yesterday. I finished in the shower and put on the outfit. I turned towards the mirror and looked at myself, much better than yesterday. I pulled my wet hair back and went downstairs to eat breakfast.
In the kitchen, I poured a bowl of cereal, sat down at the table and waited for the rest of my family to come in. Dad was the first .
“I see your awake this time, your getting better!”
I rolled my eyes. “HAHAHA!! DAD YOUR SOOOOO FUNNY YOU SHOULD WARN ME BEFORE YOU CRACK ONE LIKE THAT!!” I joked sarcastically. I looked over at him and laughed, for real this time. He was not too amused. Then Michelle walked into the room. She yawned. Her hair was frazzled and she looked like I did yesterday.
“How’s it goin’?” I asked her.
“Muchucachidoskqla,” was her response.
“Hmmm,” I said, “Well tell me how that goes.”
“ielkkvfdfo shower”
I finished my cereal and walked upstairs. Michelle was there. Her hair was wet and straightened out again.
“AHH, I feel better”
I laughed, and finished brushing my teeth. I glanced over at the clock, 7:19. Okay, I need to leave at 7:40, I let my hair down and started to dry it. Then I put my makeup on and went downstairs. Mom had set out my sandwich and chips, my drink was in the fridge. I packed it in a lunchbox and set it on the counter. Then I went over and packed my book bag.
I put it in the car and drove to Claire’s. She wasn’t waiting outside today. I went up to the door and her mother motioned for me to come in.
“Claire’s upstairs, sweetie, would you like a piece of toast?”
“No thanks Mrs. Tortan, I’m just going to go upstairs and see Claire” I responded
“Okay honey; tell me if you need anything”
* * *
“Claire??, cmon, are you ready?”
I walked by her room and noticed her long, lean body standing in the middle, applying finishing touches to her lipgloss. She smacked her lips together and looked over at me.
“Your early,” she said. “I’m almost ready, hold on”
Chapter 6
Nathon called after school.
“Leanne,” he sighed into the phone.
“Yes?” I asked, afraid that he was going to dump me. “What’s up?”
“I….I’m in jail”
“What???” I yelled loudly.
I heared my mom drop her fork downstairs. I didn’t even care.
“What do you mean your in jail? You…You can’t be in jail….You’ve got good grades, you’ve got a life….You’ve got friends….You’ve got me!!!”
“I know, I know”
“Whaaaaa… WHAT?”
“I’m sorry okay?! I don’t need another person on my back!!”
“I’m coming down; they’ll let me in, right?”
“yea.”
“Well, I’m sorry, I’ve never been to jail before.”
“Just tell them you’re here to see Nathon Kingston” he said, and then hung up the phone.
“MOOOOM!, I’m going to go to Claire’s house, Okay???”
“Okay, say hi to her mom for me. Are you spending the night?”
“No, I’ll be back in a couple hours, Bye”
* * *
In the car, I couldn’t breath. So many questions were racing through my head.
What did he do? Why did he do it? Could I have stopped it? Does his mom kn…
My cell phone rang. I reached down to answer it. I accidentally ran through a red light. I heard a horn and looked up to see the headlights of a Mack Truck headed straight toward me. Then, blackness.
* * *
I awoke to a beeping machine and a white room. My mom was sitting nervously in a chair beside my bed, biting her nails and rocking back and forth. When she saw my eyes opening she jumped up and gasped.
“Whaa… What time is it.” I mumbled groggily.
“It’s 5:30 in the afternoon honey. We got a call from the hospital at 9:00 on Friday night. They said you were in a car wreck. It’s now Sunday. We.. We were just glad you were alive.”
A nurse walked in. She was wearing a white cloak and carrying a clipboard.
“Your awake!!” She said. “You’ve been in a coma for almost 2 days now.”
“Wait, 2 days?”
“Leanne!!!”
I looked over. Lauren, Seth, Gray, Holley, Ricky, Erin, and Caroline were standing in the door, holing flowers, get well cards, and balloons. They came over quietly and the nurse stepped out to give the group some privacy.
“Holy Crap!” said Lauren. “Oh, Leanne, you’re a walking disaster!”
I laughed; I could tell I had scratches on my face from the way it stung when I smiled. They must have seen me wince, because their smiles fell off their faces when I did so. I tried to act like it wasn’t a big deal.
“We bought you some balloons!!!” said Lauren. Everyone laughed.
“Oh Lauren, you always know what to say.” Said Erin.
Caroline was fiddling with her phone in her hands. I remembered that hospitals make her nervous. Her dad had died 10 months after being admitted from cancer when she was nine. It must have taken a lot of courage for her to even walk through the door. I wanted to hug her. I wanted to hug all of them. I wanted to stand up and kiss them all on the cheek, but I couldn’t because me leg was wrapped up on gaws and hurt terribly.
Then, I thought of Nathon and about what happened on Friday night. I wondered if I had dreamed it. I laid there thinking about him sitting in his cell, alone, eating cold soup with a spoon; wondering why I never came to visit. Hopefully he was up for bail and his parents had come to pick him up. Then why wasn’t he here? Claire had his number and surely would have called him? Wouldn’t she have? That’s silly. Of course she would have! I looked up at her smiling face. Ricky had said something funny that I hadn’t caught. Everyone was laughing. Her curly black hair was tied up in a ponytail on the back of her head. Her teeth were white and straight; she had never had braces; she had never needed them. She wasn’t wearing any makeup; she didn’t need that either.
“Hey!” I said seriously. Everyone stopped smiling and looked at me. “What happened to Nathon? Did they let him out?”
“No,” Claire said.
“He’s not on bail?? What did he do??” I was generally bewildered and reached for the necklace he had given me. It was not around my neck. I looked on the nightstand. It was not there either. They knew what I was looking for. I looked up, my eyebrows raised.
“Where is it?”
They all looked around, wondering who would have to tell me.
“They took it.” Said Caroline. My eyebrows raised even higher
“They? Care to elaborate?”
“The police did, It was evidence,” Holley finished.
“Evidence?? Evidence for what?”
“For Nathon’s case,” I opened my mouth, then closed it. I was a little still a little slow being in a coma.
“Leanne, he stole the necklace,” Said Claire.
“NO!” I said, “NO! he wouldn’t do it.”
“He loves you and knew you would love it, but do you think his job as a BILO bagger boy would cover it?”
“Well, how long is he in jail, can he get out on bail?
“Leanne, his bail is $10,000, do you think hid parents can afford that?”
“$10,000?” I yelled, “My God, for stealing a necklace?”
Just then the nurse rushed in. “Kids, I’m very sorry, but visiting hours are over. This girl needs her rest. She’s got 6 broken bones and she hasn’t had real food in 2 days. She’s also due for a blood pressure check.”
My friends looked sad to leave me, but in a way they looked relieved. They all came up and hugged me before they left.
“I’ll come tomorrow, okay?” said Claire.
I smiled and said that would be good.
Once everyone left, the nurse came up and took my blood pressure.
“I’m Anna, by the way. Are you hungry?”
“Yes mam” I said.
“I’ll get you some crushed ice, and if you can eat that without feeling queasy, I’ll give you some Saltines.”
Chapter 7
The nurse came in with the cup of crushed ice.
“CHEW this” she said, “Don’t let it melt in your mouth.”
I reached with my left hand to take the cup and noticed the IV sticking out of it. Then, I looked up at the beeping machine that was monitoring my heart rate. I must have looked bewildered because the nurse said, “You’re in a very serious medical condition, Ms. Hamilton, lucky to be alive with all of your limbs.” I shivered and looked down at my feet, which were covered by a blanket. I tried to wiggle my toes, but the pain in them was immense. Even though my friends bore bad news, I was sad that they had left so soon. With them here, I had almost forgotten about the slow, heavy, lurching pain that made me so weak.
I had finished my crushed ice and the nurse left me for 10 minutes to see what my body would do with it. She came back carrying, as promised, a box of Saltine crackers, and a juice box.
“I think it’s safe for you to eat this.” She smiled.
I took the snack from the nurse and looked at my mom, who had fallen asleep in the old chair next to my bed.
“Poor woman, Almost as torn up on the inside as you are on the outside about this. She hasn’t left this room or even slept since she got here on Friday. I ate a Saltine and sucked on the salt to make it crumble in my mouth. I very slowly took a sip of juice.
“2 questions,” I said. The nurse looked over at me. “Okay, what exactly is wrong with me? I mean, what’s broken?”
“You have two broken ribs, a fractured wrist, a shattered elbow, a dislocated knee cap, and a broken leg.”
“Hmm, that explains the awful pain I am in.”
Anna, as she liked me to call her, blinked and said, “Next question?”
“Umm, exactly how drugged up am I right now”
Anna laughed, “Very, if I gave you one more milliliter of morphine it would probably push you back into a coma, don’t worry though, I went to med school. I know what I’m doing.”
I smiled and got that tight feeling in my face again.
Anna handed me the remote to the small TV in the in the corner of the room. “You can watch something if you want to.” She said.
That’s when I looked across the room and noticed I had a roommate. She had no get well cards or worried parents around her bead. The machine next to her was beeping slowly and quietly.
“Whoa” I said, “Who’s that?”
Anna looked over. “That’s Cynthia,” she said, “She’s been here for a while, hasn’t woken up yet. Her parents are very hopeful although the doctors are not”
“Do you think she’ll wake up”
Anna shook her head. “She’s been asleep for 13 months, the family just needs to except that she is not going to wake up. I knew that girl before her accident, happy and healthy. She wouldn’t want to be living like this.”
“Her accident?” I asked, “What happened?”
“She fell 5 stories out a window of an office building right into the streets. As if that weren’t enough, she was then hit by a car moving at 40 miles an hour.” I cringed, that made my accident look like child’s play. Her face and arms were scared and bruised. Gosh, 13 months, that means this happened in December, right before Christmas. In December, my biggest problem was what I was going to get for my family for Christmas, or maybe even what I was going to wear to the high school dance. I certainly didn’t think about not living to see another Christmas.
I stopped and closed my mouth. Anna must have noticed the sadness in my eyes.
“Hmmmm,” she said, “Maybe she will wake up after all. I once read a story in the paper about a lady who was in a comma for 2 years before she woke up.”
“There’s a reason why that story made the news.” I grumbled.
The nurse turned around and handed me in the TV remote. “What Sweetie?” she asked
“Uh, nothing, nothing” I replied.
I turned the TV to my favorite channel. “What not to Wear” was on. I had been watching that show since I was a kid. That’s wear I had gotten all my fashion tips. Stacy and Clinton were throwing away a poor blonde girl’s wardrobe. She wasn;t fighting, like some of the other girls would, she was just standing to the side, almost in tears. Stacy looked over and dropped the ugly Beatles shirt she was making fun of.
“Hon, you will love us when we are done here. You see this,” Stacy said, “This is CRAP!”
“CRAP!” Clinton chimed in.
“You are better than this.” Stacy Concluded. “We are gonna get your outside…” She waved her fingers and motioned at the girl. “to match your inside…”
The girl looked up at Stacy, her mousy blonde hair in front if her face. “Ohhh, thank you,”
“Okay, well, we’ll take care of the rest of this stuff, now you go and start spending that $5,000.”
“Okay, thanks guys” the girl said, wiping off her tears and smiling.
The commercials came on and I surfed through the rest of the channels.
Then I noticed I had to use the bathroom. I called for Anna.
“Is there anyway I can get to the bathroom?”
She smiled pathetically and shook her head.
“Not in that condition, honey,” she said, and handed me a bedpan.
I rolled my eyes and put my eyes and decided I would wait a little more on that one.
Chapter 8
When I woke up the next day, my mom was standing over me, smiling. The smile was bittersweet, but it still felt good to be smiled at. I closed my eyes and opened them again after a few seconds. When I opened them again, my mom wasn’t looking at me any more. She was looking at the door. I turned to look. It was my dad and little sister were standing in it. Michelle looked disturbed; she came and sat by my bed.
I imagined what I must have looked like to her. She had always looked up to me for advice. Now I was stuck helpless in the hospital bed, just waiting for the nurse to come in and feed me. Like a little unmoving baby bird, just waiting for the mom to come home and toss a worm into its mouth. I felt the

Reply:Yeah, some of 'em. The Talking Heads are cool, and so's Iggy Pop. The Cure (didn't know they did a cover of Purple Haze, but now I gotta check it out), Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, The Butthole Surfers (sometimes, and hehe), The Dead 60s (I'm not REALLY into them, but they're kinda interesting, Billy Idol, Dandy Warhols (again, occasionally) and Seal (so-so)...
Ok- checked out the Cure's cover of Purple Haze, and gotta say, I like the original better. Hot Hot Hot is and A Forest are, in my opinion, The Cure's two best songs... I think it's cool that they REALLY put their own spin on the song (Purple Haze) though...

Reply:Yeah, some of 'em. The Talking Heads are cool, and so's Iggy Pop. The Cure (didn't know they did a cover of Purple Haze, but now I gotta check it out), Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, The Butthole Surfers (sometimes, and hehe), The Dead 60s (I'm not REALLY into them, but they're kinda interesting, Billy Idol, Dandy Warhols (again, occasionally) and Seal (so-so)...
Ok- checked out the Cure's cover of Purple Haze, and gotta say, I like the original better. Hot Hot Hot is and A Forest are, in my opinion, The Cure's two best songs... I think it's cool that they REALLY put their own spin on the song (Purple Haze) though...
