Today, Emily a contestant on the British series of Big Brother was evicted for using the term "n******" which was deemed a racist term. However, in a report on the eviction, the presenter on BBC News noted that the word appears in rap songs as a term of empowerment. What is the term in that case? Offensive to members of the black community, or a term of empowerment?

How does this sound to Bear fans out there? I'm a Bear fan and I do not think Grossman will make it past the 2007-2008 season. Culpepper is 30 years old, should be released soon, and would make a good fit in Chicago. Yes, he has had two knee surgeries but take a risk on him. He should go cheap in free agency. The Bears need a back-up QB because Griese is getting old and won't work out in the future. Lets have Culpepper and Grossman battle it out in training camp and have some fun!!! What do you think?

Get ready for some real dirty politics........The origins will be from "Clinton Inc." ......Watch, as Obama Bin Barak gets dragged into the imaginary fire by the Clintons while the Clintons will make it look as though the assaults were coming from "other origins".......No one wants to destroy Obama more than Clinton Inc. .....Never forget that fact. Just watch.... !!!

I learned that, if you cry really really hard, you get to have your sentence reduced and be sent home from jail.

I also learned that.. this country's law structure sucks.

also, if you don't have wealth and fame, don't commit a crime, unless you can cry harder than Paris Hilton

Someone recently loaned me money & the situation definitely calls for a thank you gift in addition to repayment.
Any ideas for an appropriate gift? It will be for grandparents.

there are so many questions from christians exclaiming "how can you not believe!?"

but honestly, i cannot fathom how someone CAN believe.

just to show you, it goes both ways. we atheists are just as convicted in our (non) beliefs as you are in yours.

I know they only last about 20 seconds. But man it's a long 20 seconds. I heard if you walk it out it helps. I mainly get mine in my calves. I also heard eating bananas is good for them because of the potasium. Also what causes them ? Sometimes I'll be in bed and just stretch and that causes them.

What is the whole point of doing so? I honestly don't understand it at all. Aren't we all human beings regardless of what religious or non religious labels we claim? Also why do we need to label ourselves? Are we as humans intelligent enough to come up with these labels but foolish enough to claim them as well? Can anybody help to make sense out of anything that goes down here? I'm really starting to lose faith and hope in humanity.

my cat has been loosing some hair on his tale, theirs about a 2to3 inch bald spot right where his tale connects with his body. he's goes in and outside through out the day so he could have picked something up. also i found a scab on his right front leg last night and it is about the size of a dime. his leg looks kinda swollen around the area also. im just woundering what it could be and if i need to take him into the vet. also it seems like that back part of his body the hair is thinning but this could be from the change in seasons.
