not normal black people who have converted to judaism like whoopi or Sami. I mean Ethiopian, or African Jews. It is just that I've heard that some Ashkenazi(white Jews) , dislike Sephardic(Arab Jews). what would either of these groups think of ***** Jews? and what category would you put them in Sephardic or another branch. basically the question is Would a Jew identify more strongly with anther person who is an authentic jew, but of another race, or would they see them as just as different as any other person of another race, despite beng of the same ethnic group.

Just reading through this article which epitomizes legal system bias in sentencing of women:

MOTHER ACQUITTED OF MURDER IN DEATH OF CHILDREN
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16546723/

Reminded me of:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/tyne/6076112.stm
A mother who started a fire in which her four-month-old son died has been spared jail.

[ Depressed? No problem! BURN YOUR KIDS TO DEATH and get off. ]

and:

RALLYING AROUND A BABY KILLER
http://www.ifeminists.com/introduction/editorials/2001/0828.html

ANDREA YATES, NOW, AND FEMINIST JURISPRUDENCE
http://www.ifeminists.com/introduction/editorials/2002/0226.html
"At NOW's 2001 national conference last summer, then-President Patricia Ireland declared that Yate revealed America as a "patriarchal society" where "women are imprisoned at home with their children.""

Gee who would have thought feminists blame post-womb abortions on men.

Shouldn't we err make post-womb abortions illegal so they don't do it?

How do you get over something you regret so bad. I am 17 and when i was like 11 or younger, I did something i think with some other girl who was younger than me and everyone who knows her, knows that family is the biggest skanks! I feel nasty whenever i remember. I mean they had maggots in their house, she went to the bathroom on the floor and everything else. EW! Sometimes i remember like right now. How do i realize kids do it and just move on from the past? Have any of you done anything with someone nasty in the past and regret it?

I have always wondered are the colors that I see and know by their names the same colors that you see? For example if I see something and say it's blue and you see the same thing and say it's blue, is your blue possibly the color red that i see but we have all been taught that the colors we individually see are called what we all call them - like if a teacher held up a card and everyone saw a different color but she said it's blue so we learned that the color we see is blue. So if you understand what i'm getting at here i'd like to know your opinion on this one, i've pondered this for a long time.

I am not trying to glorify suicide. I see suicide as acceptable if you have lived a full life and are ready to leave this world as long as you aren't leaving any responsibilities behind or using it as the solution to a problem.

OK here is my problem? look , every night i go to bed with a promise that next day i will take a small step to change my life but i doesnt happen. When i wake up there is no motivation for me to work hard. I set up my alarm at 5:00 am to wake up and take bath, study little bit and go to job at 8:00am but everyday i wake up by 7:45. Remember i do go to bed at 9:30. I just live in my comfort zone. How can i make a change in my life so i would have a better day.
