I hear people always saying how this country was "built by immigrants" and say that this is so not true.
By looking at the definiton of immigrant, it says that (im paraphrasing) an immigrant is someone who "migrates" to another country. Well, I don't recall Africans "migrating" to America; as you all know, we were forced here against our will.
Once the Africans got here, they did all of the hard labor (farming, herding, building, nurturing, etc.) for their White masters; thus, when people say that this country was "built by immigrants," they are totally wrong. This country was built by slave labor; slaves who didn't "emigrate" here, but brought against their will.
So,for all those who want to say that "we are all immigrants," think again.

I'm so tired of hearing women being judged more for indulging in their sexuality. I am a woman, but I think the whole idea of being whore for liking sex seems foreign to me. I certainly hear it all the time now, especially on this website, and it surprises me that people still impose double standards to that degree.

I feel like if I subscribe to the fact that I must be more chaste than men then I'm allowing the world to hate women. But if I don't, I can't keep a man when I want to because I've been labeled a "whore." I love sex and I have a sex drive equal to any man's and I'm tired of having to hide it because it might offend someone. I'm sick of hearing about how women don't want sex. I do want sex and I'm not a whore for saying that. It's enough to make me want to swear off men because if I'm with them I'm expected to live by their flawed rules about when I can and can't want it.

But what control does any individual have to change these norms?

There once was a religious young woman who went to Confession. Upon entering
the confessional, she said, "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned."

The priest said, "Confess your sins and be forgiven."

The young woman said, "Last night my boyfriend made mad, passionate love to
me seven times."

The priest thought long and hard and then said, "Squeeze seven lemons into a
glass and then drink the juice."

The young woman asked, "Will this cleanse me of my sins?"

The priest said, "No, but it will wipe that smile off of your face."

“We tell ourselves so many lies and half-truths ... We listen and are duly impressed by these inner voices that turn into unseen judges that nag at us. We give each of these judges a seat of honor in our minds, all the while hating their guts and their never-ending supply of judgements ... We give the judges permission to accompany us on each journey of life, never daring to realize that we can park them, at least momentarily.” -- Eloise Ristad

It seems that some show no pain and/or don't care about others.

For a great song video about this topic, please see
R.E.M. - "Everybody Hurts"
Great song but tons better with the video. Helped me to realize we all hurt, but we show it and feel it differently.

Here are the words of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment:
Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

I say that this should be repealed and replaced. A new amendment should state that children of immigrants who are born in the U.S. are not born with the status of citizenship. And the new amendment would state, far more clearly, what state governments cannot do. The second sentence in Section 1 is far too vague.

I believe that constitutional law should provide a reasonably clear set of guidelines about what government can and cannot do.

To be continued

it has been a few wks since he officially broke up with me after 4 years b/c he was unhappy... his bday just past and i feel really bad for not sending him a bday txt msg, should i still send a belated one?

I took the break up badly and I did ask him back before but he said he wants to be single, feels stress-free, tell me to not have hope, find another man. i have now completely moved on but i don't want to feel like we are enemies. Or should i just wait until he decides to contact me one day?

I financed a brand new convertible last year. The payments were a little high, but I could afford them. 2 months ago, I was laid off of my job. I recently found a job( actually working two jobs) but I am having extreme difficulty paying the car, I never expected to be laid off and now I am having trouble making the payments and I am racking up late charges. I want to sell it but I owe more thousands of dollars more than the car is worth. I need ADVICE!!!!

You always see tornadoes hitting the country so I was just wondering why dont tornadoes hit like Detroit, Chicago, Indy, etc.... all your major cities in states where tornadoes hit. Is it because of the tall buildings messing with the air or what?
