Are young black men ready for the increasingly brutal, knowledge-based job market in the U.S.? The answer is a resounding "no," according to a new report, Yes We Can: The Schott 50 State Report on Public Education and Black Males 2010.
Finally someone with the balls to say it.
When Cecil Bothwell took the oath of office as a city councilman this month, he swore to uphold the U.S. and North Carolina constitutions, but not, "so help me God." He merely affirmed that he would, without mentioning the Almighty. He didn't place his hand on a Bible.
An atheist group is expected to announce during a forum on Tuesday that it will take legal action against the borough of Chambersburg over the municipality's decision to remove a nativity scene rather than let the group put up its own sign recognizing the winter solstice and hono …
A clergyman has been criticised as 'highly irresponsible' after advising his congregation to shoplift following his Nativity sermon.
It was a violent and deadly holiday weekend in the Chicago area, with nine people reported slain between Wednesday and Sunday nights. 9 people shot in a 4-day weekend; that handgun ban sure is working out great for Chicago!
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops sent a strongly worded letter to members of the US Senate Friday, terming the abortion language in the Senate Democrats' health care bill "completely unacceptable."
I've noticed an awful lot of anger pointed at Atheists on the Vine lately. Religious folks: we are not your enemy. We are bystanders in the global 'battle' for your 'soul'.

The Diocese that these bishops come from should immediately lose tax exempt status for preaching politics. This is exactly why we have separation of church and state; we cannot have religious figures affecting policy.
I would like to see this girl face charges! Four men were arrested for rape based solely on her report; they can never fully recover from allegations like that innocent or not. Maybe if the women that pull this stunt on men were punished it would happen less often.

Amber,
When posting a comment there are a few small controls at the top of the dialogue box. From left to right they are bold, italic, quote, strike-through, etc..
Just copy and paste the line you want to quote into the dialogue box, highlight it and hit the "quote" button. It'll pull the line out into an indented, grayed-out quote like in your example.
Hope this helps!

Dear What,
I have a question, if you don't mind. Some of your comments show a copy of a comment that you are referring to, as in this example:forgive my cander but if religion and those ATHEISTs oh my even some atheists are pro life dear me are they religious nut cases too?
In this example, the text is inset in your response, and clearly shows that it is from another comment. I don't know how to do that and there is no tutorial on the MSNBC discussion site that I can find. How do you do this?
Much appreciation.
Amber
