I saw this kid where I thought he was part Puerto Rican or part black. I knew he was Hispanic. It turns out his father is Jewish and his mom is Mexican. They named him Darius.
I hear people sometimes say that Mexicans have denied some of their black bloodlines. I also hear this about some Jewish people denying black bloodlines.
Please no comments about being racist or he is of the human race. I get that. I am curious about his background and this is a question/answer board.
And no, I cannot ask him myself. Sometimes I get that comment.

Three dead bodies turn up at the mortuary, all with very big smiles on their faces.

The coroner calls the police to tell them his results after the examination.

"First body: Frenchman, 60, died of heart failure while making love to his girlfriend. Hence the enormous smile, Inspector," says the Coroner.

"Second body: Scotsman, 25, won a thousand pounds on the lottery, spent it all on whisky. Died of alcohol poisoning, hence the smile."

The Inspector asked, "What of the third body?"

"Ah", says the coroner, "this ... is the most unusual one, Paddy from Belfast, 30, struck by lightning."

"Why is he smiling then?" inquires the Inspector.

"Thought he was having his picture taken."

An out-of-towner drove his car into a ditch in a desolated area. Luckily, a local farmer came to help with his big strong horse named Buddy.
He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, "Pull, Nellie, pull!" Buddy didn't move.
Then the farmer hollered, "Pull, Buster, pull!" Buddy didn't respond.
Once more the farmer commanded, "Pull, Coco, pull!" Nothing.
Then the farmer nonchalantly said, "Pull, Buddy, pull!" And the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.
The motorist was most appreciative and very curious. He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the wrong name three times.
The farmer said, "Oh, Buddy is blind and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn't even try!"

This is the 3rd time i'm trying to post this question. they won't let me.

If God made you the way you are, then:
1:God made you a homosexual, homosexuals perform sodomy.
sodomy is a sin.
So did God make homosexuals to commit sodomy so they won't be allowed in heaven?

I previously rented from an established company , they sold the property I lived in to a private landlord , as I had only been with them for 6 months. The new land lord has some unorthodox practices such as collecting rent by coming to your home to get it. This has bothered me since day one. I plan on moving and I need to give him as a reference but I am not sure what he will say about my rent payments being on time. The landlord collects rent when he feels like it although it is due by the 4th of the month so due to both our schedules rent is paid after the 5th at times . My landlord has no established office nor hours, or even a mailing address ( I only have a home phone number). I have paid once which I consider to be late and paid him according to per the lease. I don't want the new landlord to get a reference from him b/c who knows what he might say. Also, I know he wants me to stay in his property w/ a rent incerease. I don't want a bad reference b/c he wants me to stay! Ideas?

I bought a car from a car lot and they said they would fix a certain mechanical problem. Four months later, I found out that their mechanic never fixed it and took off and is missing. They said I have to go after their mechanic, but I don't think that is correct. Aren't they responsible to fix what they said they would fix.

I just found out that the bounced check crime im being charged with is actually a Class B Felony. Its in the State of New Hampshire... I have never committed a crime before, i have a perfectly clean record and this was all a mistake, one that i failed to resolve. However i also have a good job, a place to live, and a decent future. So my question is, what is the likelyness that i will have to serve jail time? that would ruin everything i have, and probably impair my future beyond what i can imagine, even if it was only for months... Does an honestly good person who made a mistake and has a clean past go to jail? or will they take that all into consideration? Im sorry im just totally freaking out to think i will lose what i have worked so hard for.
