Education & Reference - 17 August 2006

Ok a friend of mine always says the word "f@g" I dont say it, but Im not bothered by it...he said it around another good friend of mine and she flipped out...she said he could say "queer" and "gay" but "f@g" or "f@ggot" was unacceptable...they all mean the same thing right?...I mean, I seriously wanna know what's the difference and why are people sooo offended when people say "fag" but not "gay" or "queer"....

It doesnt make since to me...if I have offended anyone by asking this question, I am sorry, but I seriously want to know the difference...

He has a real hard time trying to read. I don't have much patience to sit and listen to him struggle. I know I really need to, but him and I end up mad and confussed. He went to summer school this summer but he still does really try, I guess I would say. He doesn't look at all the letters and then just guessing something. Vowels are a big prob. too, Is there anything I can do to help? Any web sites maybe? hire a tutor? I do want him to pass third grade and not get down on himself and have low or no self esteem. Please can you help him and me.

They asked 100 Harvard graduates and 100 2nd grade students this question. 90% of the 2nd graders got it correct within 5 mins. the Harvard graduates thought about it for over an hour, only 8 answered it correctly.

What is it that...
the Poor have
the Rich need
It's greater than God
more evil than Satan
and if you EAT it you'll die!!!

I am thinking of getting my Ph.d. in either Business Leadership or Organizational Communication, but the schools I am interested in are not in the places I want to live in and those that are do not have programs I am interested in learning. I mean there is an awesome school in Fargo but I happen to be a beach dweller and hate the snow. I was thinking about getting my degree from an online University instead, but do not want to diminish the worth of my degree simply because it is from an accreditied school like Pheonix Online University VS University of South Florida. Can anyone give advice as to what I should really be considering?

No praying, no holy wars, no suicide bombers, no Sunday churches, no mixing of church and state. Everyone live in peace like animals who never invented God. The word "God" was never heard before.

I don't get the part that starts with "or crust and sugar over..."



A Dream Deferred
by Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?
