Why did colonial masters first adopt the institution of indented servitude rather than Indian or black slavery to meet their demands for labor? Why, then, did black slavery replace indentured servitude?

this isnt really a question but how i personally feel all the time no matter what. I feel empty...thers nothing at all no hate love worry joy. Nothing. and it scares me people can hit me and i wont feel it i can bleed and i wont feel it. my heads so messed up i dont know anything anymore. Occasionally my heart flutters and everything comes back but it goes as soon as it comes. Nothing makes sense anymore nothing makes me happy its ruining my life and it doesnt hurt. Its always a feeling in my chest sorta tight and everywher else is empty like a void where i should feel but i dont. I don't know what to think anymore, i see no future for myself.
people say its a phase but i know its not, ive had this for months now and its not going i don't think it ever will. I don't know why i posted this but i guess i never will.

Is it true that all Native Americans were always here in the americas. The history book says America was once uninhabited thousands of years ago and the Native Americans came here from Asia. My mother told me all the Native Americans were always here because the continents broke up. and white men from Europe just came here and tried to make up things and claimed it for them selves when the Indians were always here.. and the indians who were on all the carribean islands were always there and did not just come there centurys ago.... and another thing,,, is it true that the word Indian means a group of people that can be found in most places in the world,, but someone else told me the word Indian only means the country India in asia.

When answering this question, try to make it as secular as possible and do not say "because I believe so" or "because I said so" or anything like that. And please do not say because God created us so we must be precious.

which do you prefer? to work in a multinational company but your only a technology graduate, or you want to work in a local company- while you are working is you can pursue your engineering course?

which one is better? just bear in mind that if you will work with that multinational company is i think you are only in a low level because your only a technician. But if you will continue your studies is there is a much higher position waiting for you.

Are you willing to take the risk with this very rare chance in working with a multinational company?

"As soon as we cease to believe in such an engineer and in a discourse which breaks with the received historical discourse, and as soon as we admit that every finite discourse is bound by a certain bricolage and that the engineer and the scientist are also species of bricoleurs, then the very idea of bricolage is menaced and the difference in which it took on its meaning breaks down."

Now I am not speaking from either a religious or New Age perspective.

I am speaking from a practical perspective. By showing love and respect to my special ed./emotionally disturbed students, I get it back.

If we all even showed more love and respect in dealing with one another in society, at work, or on the highways, how much better off we would be, making an effort to get along with one another.

I don't propose that we actually love one another, just that we pretend to so that everyone benefits from receiving love, real or pretend, from the next person.

America just shrugs love off as a slogan from the 60's rather than a really valid tactic to better get along in the world.

Why is love off the table? We need to remember that this is the most important 'family value' of all. It's free, and it could save us billions of dollars in court fees, repairs, and international relations.

America has become as self-centered and greedy as it has ever been. Here is a free cure for greed!
