St. Nick responds for himself and Jesus
 

[QUOTE=Brian-E;362051]According to a Fox News presenter, who doesn't allow her interviewees to contradict her on this point, not only Jesus Christ but also Santa Claus were/are white.

[QUOTE] I'm not a jolly elf to a Fox News viewer. I am the freakin' bogeyman. And, I'd like to point out, so is my Nazarene buddy over here, whose birthday is coming up. Sarah Palin pretends she's ghost-writing for the guy, but she wouldn't get in a cab he was driving.

They've moved quickly on current events before. They could run the exact same dialogue - unchanged; that would be the most effective and cutting. It would be timely too because SNL has been taking some heat quite recently on another ethnic diversity issue: not having any black female actors for some time. They've mentioned plans to address that and they are at least talking about it both on and off camera but they could be in a position to score a few points by highlighting this outrages Fox clip. I hope they take the opportunity. Satire is an effective form of commentary.

Not quite sure if I should laugh, or cry...

Freaks! I banged my head against the wall last weekend for exactly this reason.... Taking ages to update a new winXP installation. You must update, otherwise the new stuff (like .net of the catalyst or misfit, which you need for mfakto) will not work, and it takes ages to update. I switched to win7_64 at the end, fed up with endless trials. I bet there is no mistake in the software, they are doing this intentionally! :razz: To force you using the new stuff..

The original XP is just as good as it always has been.

I'd say "The original XP is just as it always has been."

[QUOTE=ET_;362276]I'd say "The original XP is just as it always has been."[/QUOTE]Yup. Just as good and just as bad. It is what it is.

Just popped in to say that Christianity and racism don't automatically go hand and hand, despite what a lot of anti-Christians like to think.

There are very few outright statements that talk about Christ's appearance, so the assumption is that He looked the way people expected Him to look. So we can make guesses about His appearance, with one of the most obvious guesses being that He wasn't Caucasian.

Bus passengers disarm gunman
 

I am amazed at the instant response of the man first threatened.....EDIT: and what's with the woman fanning her hand in front of her face?
