      Police search for evangelist's alleged enforcer

      Posted by okami from Yahoo News!

      LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Seth Calagna recalled lying on the Fort Smith warehouse floor, feeling every strike of the board against his backside as blood oozed onto the winter-cooled concrete.

      Calagna told detectives months later that John Erwin Kolbeck, an alleged enforcer for jailed evangelist Tony Alamo, paused after 20 strikes to order another ministry member to pull off the 17-year-old's pants and thermals. Kolbeck slammed the wooden board against the teen's underwear and bare skin until the board finally broke, according to a police report.

      Pakistani tribal chiefs threaten to join Taliban

      Posted by okami from Guardian UK

      If the united States continues it's present policy of 'cross-border attacks' (ie, incursions) into western Pakistan from Afghanistan, they will be facing troubles in addition to retaliation from the Pakistani army. Tribal leaders of the western area swear that they will join the Taliban if the incursions and attacks continue. These leaders claim to represent half a million Pakistanis, all of whom would go to the Taliban if the US continues this policy.

    You cannot be a Christian and vote for Obama

    I agree with Okami again: freedom of speech is the most important issue.

    However, as they are free to say whatever bull**** they want, still we are free not to waste our time on them! As I said, I am not that optimistic about Obama, but let’s see whether he has got any idea behind his smile, especially as welfare and international politics are concerned…

     . . .gonna be a while. . .got a helluva lotta damage to undo. . .and if this is really gonna be a ‘free’ country, it’s gonna pop up again and again. . .it has to, otherwise, there’d be no freedoms.

    i don’t like it. . .now one whit. . .but if this is truly ‘free’ country, we must expect that we will encounter thngs like this.  otherwise it negates the very principle of freedom.

    Good thing Obama won, huh? Now we can send this type of garbage to the trash heap where it belongs.

    Hi okami,

    I don’t know if USA are a racist nation, I don’t think so and I hope not. But I agree with you 100% on the other bits of your comments!

    this type of story is why i don’t and won’t belong to any church.  Nietschze was 100% correct when he said that "Christianity died on the cross."

    people fear change and the future and uncertainity. 

    this is also a racist nation; the 12 of September 2001 proved that.  it will take about another 400 years to get rid of it. . .maybe.

    Ah, by the way. If I were an US citizen, I would vote conservative, but definitely not because of Obama’s skin colour or because of his religious ideas, if any.

    That’s why I am afraid Obama’s gonna win: because of conservatives’ lackness of proper arguments, I am afraid…

    US fellows: W A K E  U P !!! The world needs a strong US, leaded by an intelligent, rational, liberal person. Not from a religius freak!

    I’ve never read such stupidities in my life, so far. But I am young, and keep looking forward!

    Is being Christian the same as constraining people freedom?

    Why don’t you get a life and a work, instead?
