I'm looking into different law schools in my area (which is south Texas) and I've read that it is hard to get into UT Austin. When I looked at the website, I noticed that they list things like "race and ethnicity," "history of overcoming eco/socio disadvantages" and "geographic diversity" under factors considered for admission. Does that mean that because I'm a middle class white guy I won't have a good change getting in? My grades, resume....why is it that it's that one aspect the school looks for, that could make or break my future...

Are you aware that New York City had more enslaved Africans than any other American city except Charleston, S.C. before the American Revolution? Did you know that, during that period, 20% of New Yorkers were enslaved, or that - at one point - 40% of New York's households owned slaves? Are you aware that a vast slave cemetery in lower Manhattan is estimated to hold 20,000 graves of African slaves, or that it was discovered during the building of a skyscraper in 1991? Was the cemetery, as evidence seems to indicate, deliberately hidden in an attempt to to conceal New York's complicity in the slave trade?

Most workers are very much pleased to contribute to the decisions made at their job place. In your opinion, is it good or not? Various ideas surely enlighten debates. They are the sources of happiness and freshness in a community but this is not always the case. Ideas are not all ok. Some are evil. They are the cause of evil actions but freedom in principle is asked to do nothing about them. It thus takes no prevention. It acts against them only when a crime is committed.
I hope there is a preventive measure to reduce their disadvantages while benefiting from their advantages. I would like to hear your idea.

We both want to do this. Some people say to me the Bible does not allow for this. Could you tell me why not?

I think I'm in love with a girl because of her full, short, layered hair. I don't know why, but the way its cropped short and angled to the nape of her neck in the back is really hot. But I just hate it when some of her layers flip out and the rest go under; I just want them to go the same way. Is that a strange obsession?

And is is their a way I can tell her to do her hair so that all her layers go the same way or is that impossible for girls to do.

My daughter is only 8 years old and has super thick straight hair. It looks beautiful loose, but all her little friends wear it in pig tails and pony tails and she wants to do the same. Most hair products actually break because of the thickness and the twisty thing cant go around more than once. Once is too loose and the hair falls down. Twice busts the rubber band thing/ I do condition her hair. Is there anything else I can do. She doesnt want ti cut it.

People perceive you in a way you do not feel is justified and not a true reflection of your character? Does this bother you or do just shrug it off?

I am not pointing to one religion in general, just a supreme being or beings. Many athiests I know say there is no proof of a god, so why believe. So I'm asking if a supreme being asked what they could do to make you believe, what would it be? What could be done that wouldn't be seen as a random phenomenon or other coincidence.

I live in an area with lots of creeks, bogs and marshes, so every summer there are a bunch of vicious mosquitos around here. Because I am allergic to insect bites, wherever I get a mosquito bite, it swells like crazy and blows up to a huge size.
So this summer, I am determined to try to avoid mosquito bites altogether. Can you please recommend to me a really effective mosquito repellent that won't kill me in the process? I'd like to use a product that is least toxic to humans while simultaneous being very effective.
And any other general anti-mosquito tips would be appreciated as well. I hate mosquitos! They are the bane of my existence in the summer.
Thanks so much for your help!
