We didn't have slavery in Britain the same way it was used in America or the West Indies, we were the supplier and where we did use them it was far away from public eyes IE the Caribean islands.
when Lincoln set the slaves free cotton mills in northern England refused to buy American raw materials that were slave farmed in the southern states and as a result a famine swept Lancashire killing hundreds of workers.
After the US civil war the workers erected a statue to Lincoln and raised all the funds themselves. The public and political oppinion towards the principle of anti-slavery was united.
To this day in Britain the black population is low and is an imigrant population, most of whom are from west africe and were never slaves.

Before I go on I want to explain why I add these 2 video's.
I am interested in knowing from a faith basis if and why these 2 video's offend anybody here. Please watchboth of them and please tell me your oppinions.

I find both those videos rather boring. Just a couple of wankers making fun of my savior. Nothing new here. It seems everyone is making light of my faith and my creator lately. So you see it is rather boring, old shit rehashed over and over at the expense of God and the bible. Thank God this is not against Islam or Homosexuals. Then there would be threats of violence against the performers and the networks that aired this shit.
Thank God it is only against christianity. We as Christians are an easy target. Everyone laughs at our belief and faith. Crazy Christians, lets make some more jokes about Jesus and his teachings.
Work Sucks!! Thats why I am on here reading posts!!
Trigger, these videos are offensive because they are insulting people who have chosen to put their faith in Christ. If someone were to make a video about what a poor excuse for a human Randy Rhoads was, there'd be quite an uproar here. For that matter, if someone expounds on how Eddie Van Halen was better technically and creatively than Randy, everyone gets their panties in a bunch. Ultimately, Randy Rhoads means nothing to 99.9999999% of humanity, Jesus Christ is the basis for a Nation (the USA) as well as our calendar and reference of time itself.
Simple-minded people make fun of others for their beliefs. As Zakk said, thank God no one says these things about Mohamed, or this site would be crush and the offending parties hunted down and killed. It has happened before.
Everyone's got a right to think what they want about religion, as long as they have an educated approach to things.
I can't stand the morons who read the DaVinci Code and then come to my trying to argue that Dan Brown proved that there is no God.

Hi Shanic
You mean Dan Brown..the writer?
Because Derren (not Darren, I know weird ) Brown is an amazing illusionist and skeptic.
Dan Brown's book was fun but I agree with Nicole whole heartedly about the typical responses it has caused.
Goodnight from me

I am glad you mentioned Derren. He said in the last epiosde I saw, where he managed to outwit 4 top bookies by statistic calculations (by the way jaw droppingly done) he said "improbable... but not impossible"
I have taken that saying to heart with Guitar pieces now when kids say "that is imposssible!" I say no initially improbable but with practice probable and eventually possible!
Shanic if you go on youtube look up the Heist or when he does an elaborate experiement where he dupes contact from the other side.

the DaVinci Code is fiction, and the author/publishers are quite open about that, look in your library and you'll find it alongside animal farm and harry potter LOLZ
How people think that it is factual i have no idea
Thanks for the answers Zakk & Paul, I hope you understood that they were possted NOT as an insult but as a topic for debate. I will comment about your responses when I am back later, but thanks again for taking time out for me.

This song represents what Christians feel toward Jesus. Well, at least I do. If the message in this song brings you to tears, then you are truly blessed and get it. If you feel nothing, then just ignore it.
ROCK ON!!!!!!
Work Sucks!! Thats why I am on here reading posts!!
I again thank zakk and Paul for commenting on the 2 video's I added.
I thought that everyone might enjoy this video, it has the Archbishop of Canterbury and leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion in conversation with Ricky Gervais who featured in the Creationist video.

They probably don't realize that Harry Potter isn't real either.
