Resolved Question: How accurate is the Book of Mormon in Archeology?

Dr. Nibley works for the LDS In his book Since Cumorah, Dr. Nibley admits that there is no real archaeological evidence to prove that the Nephites ever existed: "The first myth we need to eliminate is that Book of Mormon archaeology exists. "(Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Summer 1969, pp.76-78). "we do know where Jerusalem and Jericho were and are, but we do not know where Zarahemla and Bountiful (nor any other location for that matter) were or are. (Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Summer 1969, pp.76-78). "absolutely nothing, has ever shown up in any New World excavation which would suggest that the Book of Mormon is a historical document relating to the history of early migrants to our hemisphere (Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Summer 1973, pp.41, 42, 46). "There is no evidence of any migration from Israel to America and no evidence that pre-Columbian Indians had any knowledge of Christianity or the Bible." (Frank H. H. Roberts, Smithsonian Institute letter to Marvin Cowan on 01-24-63) "Smithsonian archeologists look no direct connection between the archeology of the new world and the subject matter of [The Book of Mormon]." (Letter Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560 Dept of Anthropology 1979) No people. No cities. No money. No weaponry. No chariots. NO NOTHING!! Doesn't that make the God of the Book of Mormon a complete and total MORON? Hey.! I look a connection. lol

Voting Question: So now other races are allowed to use the N word?

What is going on? I always knew white people weren't allowed to use the N word becasue we invented it and the whole slave thing went down and then there was segregation and for the most part we respect the unwritten rule of never uttering such a harmful word. I've noticed that many other races use the N word in the same respect black people use it. Asian, Indians, Hispanics pretty much any "minority" is using this term as often and in as many ways as blacks. Why are other minorities allowed to use it when they haven't faced anything close to the type of persecution black received? Is it becasue they are considered to be in the same socio- economic class as black people? What about white races that werent in American at the time of slavery, can they use the N word? How about Jews, Italians, irish, british, australians? If any of them i would think Jews should receive a N word pass to use the N word before Hispanics, Asians and Indians use it. Jews have been persecuted through-out history and some would say jews have suffered equally if not more than blacks. Plus Jews weren't slave owners and really werent even in America at that time period. So whats up? I dont want to use the word and I personnally dont use it, I just want the usage of the word to be fair. If others can say it that had nothing to do with slavery then why cant I when my people had nothing to do with slavery?

Open Question: Indians and Pakistanis are sometimes mistaken as Iranians??

Because Iranians and general do not have white skin. They may be considered caucasion, but they are of darker complexion. I've heard many indians say "sometimes people think im Iranian", and although people assume Arabs to have brown skin, Indians and Pakistanis never are mistaken as them, because it has always been known that Arabs are White. Their history proves this true, and so does anthropology studies. http://www.white-history.com/earlson/nordicarabs.htm So why are Iranians so intent to claim that they are WHITE?

Open Question: wanna know the price of a sikh religious coin of 1804?

A North Indian Coin from region of PUNJAB and depicts the Sikh faith. A rare coin purportedly minted 260 years ago in 1748 by one of the Sikh missals. (Minted 1804 is Hindu calendar call Vikram Smavat started 56 years ahead of Georgian Calendar) The coin made of an alloy resembling bronze, bears picture of the first Guru on observe (Date Side) exergues reads Sant Kartar and the tenth Guru on the reverse side. While Guru Nanak Dev is flanked by Bhai Mardana and Bhai Bala, holding rabab(Violin like instrument) and chaur(Hand-held Fan) in their hands, a bai is seen sitting close Guru Gobind Singh. Also shown in the picture are the khrawan (slipper made of wood) and a lota(tiny water pot). Mr Amarjit Singh Sidhu, a Sikh historian, agreed to the claim and maintained that the ambiguity about the pictorial and mohar coins was due to lack of concern shown by successive governments about the Sikh history. It was certainly after October 14, 1745, that the chief of missals started minting coins in the names of the ten Gurus. The very fact the coin bears pictures of the first and the tenth Guru shows that it was not minted during the regime of any sovereign ruler, pointed Mr Sidhu. Referring to the pages of history, Mr Sidhu said each chief tried to strengthen his hold over the areas below his control and even started minting coins. A number of mints in Amritsar and one at Anandgarh came into existence. But a special feature of these mints was that coins were minted by every in the name of the Sikh Gurus as had been the traditional practice and no chief put his name on these coins or even changed the legend. One side of the coin Guru Nanak Dev Ji EK ONKAR engraved in Gurmukhi Skript and other side of the coin with Bhai Bala & Mardana with Rebab (a musical Instrument) in his hand i wanna sell this coin but am not aware where to sell it and wht is the precise value of the same pls help me with the same

Open Question: What Countries Invaded Ireland?

What other countries, besides England and the Vikings from Scandinavia, invaded Ireland throughout it's history? I'm curious because my dad's family is from Cork, Ireland (he was born there), and my mom also has Scotch-Irish on her dad's side and her mom was from Norway. I'm asking because I swear, I do not feel Irish (I look it though- reddish/brown hair, hazel eyes, light freckles on my face, and I'm as pale as the day is long!) lol I have been told by my dad that we might have some Spaniard in us, but when I tried to do the family tree, I couldn't receive too far with his family. I do have the Irish temper, craziness and I adore to drink, but that's about it. I think the dancing is boring, and I absolutely hate the food and icy weather! I'm the only one in my family who likes spicy foods (especially Indian, Arabic and some Spanish food) and Arab/Spanish music/dancing/language! I'm thinking maybe someone from one of those countries intergrated with my family in Ireland? Were there any big influxes of immigrants from these countries into the County Cobh area at any time? Cuz my mom's side of the family is pure white- Irish, Scotch and Norwegian only. Any ideas?

Resolved Question: Is this Introduction paragraph good? Please help. A compare and contrast essay.?

“I am a white man and never forgot it, but I was brought up by the Cheynne Indians from the age of ten.” Open up to the first chapter of Little Big Man by Thomas Berger and the first sentence is about the main character, Jack Crabb in the novel. The first sentence of the first chapter in the book, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas does not directly describe the main character of the novel. It is not until the end of the third paragraph, that the main character, Edmond Dantès is discreetly announced to the reader. “Next to the pilot, who was preparing to guide the Pharaon through the narrow entrance to the port of Marseille, stood a young man, alert and sharp eyed, supervising every moment of the boat and repeating each of the pilot’s commands.” The place of the two statements in the novel and their contents reveal much about the two novels. The Little Big Man takes place in America, The Count of Monte Cristo occurs in Europe. The Little Big Man is short and to the point, to where the Count of Monte Cristo drags on in detail. The stories of Jack Crabb and Edmond Dantès occur an ocean apart in different contexts yet both jump out with adventures occurring around the 1800s. Both novels take the readers to different parts of the continents. The novels are full of history lessons, while the point of view changes in The Count of Monte Cristo and remains the same in The Little Big Man. Jack Crabb and Edmond Dantès take on different personas, though for different reasons. Dantès and Crabb continue to run into the same people, however Dantès plans his re-run ins and Crabb just goes along bumping into familiar faces by chance.

Open Question: Why do atheists pigeon hold Christianity and Religion into war mongers, etc?

Did you know that just because some people do wrong things and claim a religion, doesn't mean they are accurately portraying that religion. There are alot of Americans in the USA but you can't say Americans are bad because of their history of killing Indians and enslaving Africans. You can't say its not good to be American because of that. Same as Christianity, there was the Inquisition, but their actions DID NOT portray Christianity. Same as scientist, there are scientist that make technology to kill people, that doesn't mean science is wrong. So then why do people (usually atheists) have the same argument about Christians about it and every religions are bad. I guess they just read a book from Hawkins, or saw something on T.V. that added fuel to their flame and use it as their defense on why religion is bad.

Open Question: Does India need dictatorship?

*Question open to Indians or people who have studied Indian history/politics only* I have heard the the emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi was the best time in Indian politics-do you agree and y?do u disagree and y? Look at Indian polictics now, policticians treat india like their dad's property,they form coalitions and break coalitions just to fuel individual agendas. There is no accountability and the country seems to be running itself rather than being run by sound administration. There is too much minority appeasement. Corruption is rife and unchecked. wealthy receive richer and needy commit suicide without any wish of a better future. I think its time a strong central figure took over as dictator and cleaned up the system and ushered in a new era, someone like Adolf Hitler. Call him bad but Germany prospered below his rule. Dont mistaken me I adore my country and I am proud of its 10,000 year heritage and its diversity but what it has been reduced to today is shameful compared to the glorious Hindu nation that it once was, the richest and most scientifically advanced country in the entire world.

Open Question: Why do you take pride in America?

Looking at the history: American government is responsible for the mass genocide of Native Indians. In 1492 - estimated 15 million Indians. Today - less than 250,000. The textbooks in the public schools do not tutor of this. This is by far worse than what the Nazis did, and yet Americans today either haven't a clue or just seem to forget. And a quick look at the gift: The ongoing war in Iraq has claimed thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians. Need I say more? Why do you take pride in America? Educating Daddio - In November of 1864, Colonel John Chivington and his troops went on the march. They passed through Fort Lyon, where Chivington picked up reinforcements as well as two cannons. Having been at the fort he surely had been informed that the Indian Village on Sand Creek was below military protection. On November 29, just as the sun was coming up, Chivington, with his column of seven to nine hundred men, attacked Black Kettle's Sand Creek camp where some five hundred Indians lay sleeping. Cheyenne Chief Black Kettle When Chivington had first planned this attack some of his junior officers had protested, reminding him that the Cheyennes were below an assurance of safety, which further proves he had knowledge of the situation with Black Kettle. According to Evan S. Connell in his book Son of the Morning Star Chivington violently threatened these men. He shook a fist at Lt. Joseph Cramer, and shouted: “I have arrive to kill Indians, and believe it is right and honorable."

Resolved Question: Last 25years Pakistan & Srilankan Team Played better cricket than Indian team? Yes, No, Comment?

Last 25years. Both Pakistan & Srilanka played better and fighting cricket than India. They won lot of finals and most important series deciders and won lot of test series. But take Indian team on other hand, after 83 world cup Just natwest final, T20 World cup and won CB series in Australia. Not more than 4 tournaments. No consitancy of winning tournaments. Indian team played worst cricket in every Series deciders and in every ODI Finals. Indian seniors played worst cricket in every ODI & Test match finals and series deciders. Why BCCI not look into this matter very seriously. Why they going on ignore the past history of Indian cricket and worst performances. Why ICC not giving any notice to BCCI for such a worst performance by the Indian players and told BCCI to produce good quality players and good quality pitches. Why ICC also close their mouth in this regard?. Pakistan and srilanka they are producing quality cricketers every year they never faced worst defeats. They played fighting cricket every these years and won lot of finals and series deciders. Why Indian team as no fighting spirit. With 100 crores population and over. Going on losing matches to Srilanka and Pakistan teams and losing cup after cup is very difficult to digest. It gives lot of frustration to Indian fans. Srilanka and Pakistan is very smaller countries having less population and losing to them is utter shame for India. Now we want to look another defeat in ODI Series against Srilanka. Oh god Please keep our cricket.

Voting Question: Does anyone really know the truth about voodoo?

Well i used to believe that voodoo was a religion or a ritual of the devil but i was wrong!!! I read the history about voodoo and every that zombie and bad stuff was not true. I read that every tribe in Africa believe in voodoo and the meaning of voodoo is spirit. Which means the tribes in Africa believed in spiritual forces, or their possess ancient ancestors too!!! Every country in the world has their possess beliefs and religion just like the Indians that believe in Hindu Which is many gods that comes in the form as animals and humans, and just like the Asians that believe in Buddha or taoism. What i'm trying to say is that we should not judge religion or beliefs that we do not know or have the facts about it. I believe in god and in god alone that is what i believe in. Well i learned a lesson to never judge other peoples beliefs and religion.

Voting Question: How do I write an article review for AP U.S. History?

We are supposed to write three article reviews on Puritanism. The articles are "The Puritan Way of Life" by Perry Miller, "Anne Bradstreet: Dogmatist and Rebel" by Ann Stanford, and "Puritans and Indians" by Alden T. Vaughn. I'm just confused about how I should write it. I've thought about breaking the articles down into sections and summarizing each section, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to look at the article critically and talk about what it lacked, sort of like a book review...

Resolved Question: Whether Indian team unfit to play international cricket anymore? Yes, No, Comment

Indian team performance day by day becomes worst to very worst. ICC Should not allow Indian Cricket Team to Play International matches anymore. Because it is shame for cricket on a whole. Look Srilankan team or Pakistani Team. They never played irresponsible cricket or casual cricket or faced worst defeats in their history of cricket. But you take Indian cricket last 20 years. They played very very worst cricket. Not even won one major tournament except T20 world cup by Fluke & Luck against pakistan. Otherwise, Indian cricket is fit for nothing. Crores and crores of rupees BCCI earning every year. But they not spend those amount for development of Cricket in India. They are not producing quality cricketers like srilanka and pakistan. Mendis is very ordinary bowler according to me. Players liKe dravid, sachin, laxman, ganguly struggle to score runs is utter shame and got out to him is very very shame. First thing they should announce their retirement after they return to India immediately.

Resolved Question: Do you know Early European Explorers refused to Credit Khmer People with building of City of Angkor Wat ??

Early European Explorers refused to Credit Khmer People with building of City of Angkor Wat , fearing that these people were once a part of an Great Civilization .

Recent attempts by Indians living in US , to re-write History of Aryan Race & Invasion Theories found very strong Resistance from German Academics & Indian Secular Academia .

Voting Question: Why is India so keen on hosting the Olympics?

India often compares itself with China. And why not? After every it has the second-fastest growing big economy only behind China, second largest armed forces in Asia only surpassed by China and has the second largest population in the world after China. When one talks about the new big emerging powers, India and China are often used together. I recently bumped across an Indian news website and saw a full front-page discussion on "If China can host Olympics, then why not India?" Delhi will bid to host the 2020 Olympics and with UK and Australia already backing India's bid, it is likely that Delhi will indeed host the 2020 Olympics. And Delhi will receive a chance to show-off its hi-tech infrastructure during 2010 Commonwealth Games and Delhi Grand Prix. Personally, it would be great if India hosts the Olympics as it would also celebrate one of the world's oldest and most colorful civilizations and also the world's largest democracy. But a little research shows that India is also one of the worst performers in Olympics. Throughout its entire Olympics history, India has won just 17 Olympics medals. So, shouldn't the country focus more on making itself a sporting powerhouse first before dreaming of hosting the Olympics?

Read this website on How European scholars cooked up a fake Story & a Religion in order to run a Business of FARCE , how they forged Ancient History books to somehow explain the Existence of Jesus Christ :http://www.jesusneverexisted.com/ Aryan Invasion theory is a Huge Farce & distortion of facts , preperated upon the more docile Eastern Indian people , who unfortunately became colonised by European Imperialists. Sanskrit is a language native to india & is far too ancient by any means . Any person who underestands Hinduism , knows this truth.
