In terms of migrants many Sub-saharan Africans adhere to Pentecostal type churches too which have been seeing expansion in some innercity areas.

Yeah, I had a very dear friend (he's gone now), a US Navy SEAL actually, who was born and raised in Glasgow and immigrated to the States when he was 18. I think I dropped several rungs down the ladder when he found out I was a Catholic. I kept him in Famous Grouse and Drambuie for the three years that we worked together, so that kept him on an even keel as regards my religious denomination.

We also both played guitar and sang, and we used to do a lot of Celtic folk music so that made me more or less OK as well.

I've had the pleasure of having several students from Nigeria who were probably pretty much broken down evenly between Roman Catholics, Anglicans and as you pointed out, Pentecostals.

^ yea that's a shocker, especially compared to obama's al green.

To be honest Stairz, you'd be better off moving back to Britain permanently. I'm sure if you write to your local MP, they'll lobby the government to purchase all your favourite American commodities over here just for you. Them Nebraskan things you bang on about and them things from Minnesota that you often talk about but no one really gives to shits about when it pops up on here...

WUV YOU!

Obama has clearly been a disaster. It's time we gave some tax breaks to those millionaires and billionaires - that always seems to do the trick.

Obama urges Congress to 'keep recovery going'

US President Barack Obama challenged Congress to keep the economic recovery going as new data showed unemployment down to its lowest rate in three years.

The unemployment rate dropped to 8.3%, beating analyst forecasts, and was down from 8.5% in December.

Santorum is a real nasty, worse even than Bush who at least had some charm.
In the event that he were elected it would be equivalent to a fascist being elected.
