OK, when I am listening some of my mates while they are talking about where-to-go-this-saturday and where-to-find-some-chicks, I feel proudly distanced. As an intellectual, I don't want to be part of their petty issues, rumour, and go-out-lately-and-drink style of life.
But still, when I am listening to them, I feel kind of anxious, like I 'm afraid that there is nobody like me, like I need support from real-life character.
For instance, if same thing happened when I was with my close friend from childhood, (which is similiar to me), I would felt differently. Proud of who I am, pround of my lifestyles and full of self-esteem.
Why is that that in presence in some of my childhood-close-friends I feel proud and full of myself. When they aren't here, I am somehow lost.
*Note 1: I am 15. Note 2: iS it ok? Note 3: Thanks in advance

Well John Mark Karr got released from Jail...and he is not the person who murdered JonBenet. He was sentenced as Innocent sometime later. i asked my mom why he was...he was so obsessed with her murder, he studied it, I think like as an investagator. Thats what I think when i hear studied her murder. he told ppl he did it, and he didn't...thats how obsessed he was with it.
So now its who had killed her now. Thats still a big mystery.
My mom said the ramson note has nice hand writing, and my parents still think it was her mom that killed her.
My mom just gave me a big clue last night...ususally guys don't have nice hand writing, and write like a girl. Who else would have nice hand writing in that house besides the mom?
Who found her dead down stairs the night of her murder right away? her dad....he must have herd something. JonBenet's mom got mad at her cuz she would pee the bed. What little kid doesn't?
Thats gives u an idea who could have killed her. Tell me what u think on this.

We Must Expose that 9/11 was an Israeli Act and Bush was fully aware of it. In Feb 1993 Israeli agent Josie Haddas carried out the bomb blast in WTC killing five innocent Americans. Her apartment with bomb drawings and material was shown on CNN Breaking news. But as soon as CNN realized that she was Mossad agent, no mention of her any more. On the other hand entire Islam and all Muslims were held hostage by powerful Zionist media.
9/11 was a Zionist- Neo Con Production. The main objecgtive was to create an excuse to attack Afghanistan in order to restore world's 60% heroin supply which was completely stopped by Taliban under Islamic ruling which prohibits all narcotics including alcohol and heroin. The Zionist drug mafia was loosing trillions of dollars. Like WMDs an excuse was created. Like Charlie Sheen who said that anyone who believes that WTC fell due to plane hit must have mental examiantion, let us spread the rays of sun to remove the darkness of ignorance. Islam is PEACE!

I remember reading so-called eye-witness accounts of individuals who claim that there were people in the superdome raping and murdering women and children after Hurricane Katrina. One man was reported to have seen a mob of people beat a man tor raping and slashing the throat of a 13-year old girl who went to use the bathroom. I heard similar stories on an episode of Oprah and I heard Ray Nagin say this. I also saw people on TV saying this. Then after the fact, it was reported that these claims were not true or could not be confirmed. What REALLY happened? Did these things actually occur and if not, why would someone spread such awful lies? If these reports were not true, how could the media report them without making sure that these claims were true? And if these claims are indeed true, what is being done about it.

I know he didn't do it, it was just a twisted fantasy of his, but they let this guy back into society? Knowing that he fantasizes about little girls? To give him the opportunity to act out on his fantasizes?

With the land grab that happened in zimbabwe its going to happen in south africa, its only a matter of time. The whites is SA should get out while they can. With an aids denier as a president and 20% of his own people dying of it and a murder and rape epidemic, their is no hope for this country.

The Israeli army is killing thousands of innocent Palestinians by the droves. The Israeli army is also making life miserable for the Palestinians and leaving them destitute.

Ariel Sharon claims self-defense from the Palestinians, and the Bush administration agrees. Something fishy is going on the around here, and I smell a rat in the White House, and in the United Nations. Who’s the rat, and who has the right to be frightened and terrorized? Where my terrorists at?

Who really knows why Palestinians are striking back or attacking the Israeli (Jewish) population at all?

It seems to me that she's just trying to live life now. She's not putting out CDs and she's not doing concerts. So why won't the press just leave the girl alone. I know they bother bother everyone but it seems they focus a little more attention on her. I just thought it was kind of strange.

The hurricane is gone! Send them homeless sponges back to New Orleans and save your city. The crime wave in Houston is the reason our city residents stormed a city meeting when our city leaders consdiered offering shelters to the leeches from New orleans. We could see nothing but trouble and we said " no way!" and thankfully oru leaders listened. Now, why doesn Houston send the riff raff back to N.O. and clean the town back up?

Why is it we get 10,000 hurricanes and survive just fine. We have some crime, some fraud etc associated with storms but we do not have the whiny crying bs that came with Katrina. It wasnt the storms fault, it was the residents fault so to hell with them. As far as I can tell, they were sponges off the system anyway so do you really care? Come on now people, how many really give a rats *** about them people and if you claim you do...then why are you not there volunteering? Uhh maybe, youre afraid youll get robbed like the rest of EMS had to endure. So why is it Florida residents are so prepared and the welfare state of Louisiana couldnt prepare or clean up after ONE?

A year ago, during Katrina, a colleague mentioned finding an article of a white couple with food who were alluded to as having "found" food while another picture of a black couple with food were said to have "looted" food. I would need this for my research work on racism. If you can locate this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

NEW ORLEANS, United States (AFP) - The chaos following Hurricane Katrina showed millions of Americans that deep racial divides, poverty and racism persist in their country.

ADVERTISEMENT

Images of seas of black faces begging for help that took days to arrive, and stories of sheriffs from adjacent white suburbs turning desperate evacuees away at gunpoint as they tried to flee New Orleans, horrified the nation.

But for many who grew up in a city that had hosted the slave trade and clung to segregation, the initial shock was transformed into fury that their deepest fears and suspicions were true: the government does not care about black people.

"The racism is so raw here," said Barbara Major, a community activist who co-chaired Mayor Ray Nagin's Bring New Orleans Back commission.

"People were outraged that people were dying. People been dying," she said. "They should have been outraged that children didn't get a decent education. That there wasn't decent housing here (just) like in every other city in the United States."

More than 140 years after the abolition of slavery, and more than 40 years since the passage of the civil rights act, New Orleans remained a highly segregated city. Blacks held significant political power, but economic power remained the domain of whites.

Poverty was widespread, as those educated in crumbling public schools were stuck in the low-wage service sectors that supported the city's massive tourist industry. Drugs, gangs and violence were rampant.

Over the past weekend, there was an illegal immigration protest in Maywood California (near Los Angeles) where 500+ protesters marched in the streets, to the point they had to block city traffic and shut streets down. They held up signs that read stuff like "THIS IS OUR CONTINENT, NOT YOURS" while waving mexican flags...they even stormed thru and took down a US flag from the post office flag pole and hoisted up a mexican flag....

the interesting part about this all is that it was not covered by news medias...luckily SaveOurState.org took pictures to post, you can see them here: http://www.saveourstate.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=15542&hl=

..notice in the pics how ABC 7 News vans were there, yet if you search their site, there was never any news story on this event.

Do you think this is newsworthy? Yes or No?
If you answer NO, then would your answer change if the protesters were Iranian or Syrian and raised those country flags after taking down US flag??
