Do you think racism only applies to those that show hate towards another race?
It sounds like a stupid question, but I am begining to think that alot of comedians and their socially accepted racial "jokes" can definitely be considered racist. They put forth jokes (I do find them funny) about races, including their own, at an outrageous clip and we laugh and see them as jokes. At the same time I think they are only reinforcing the stereotypes of old. These continued jokes can become the way a person thinks, especially minds that are easily influenced. Does anyone else feel this way?

I was ina bad situation and drank so I could relax, didn't work and made me really unhappy. I want to feel back to my usual self, so I'm stoppping drinking and am dealing with everything face on.
How long will it take for the negative effects of the drinking phase to pass, or is it permanent?

My emotional well being is hanging by a thread. I am angry at the world and ate up with resentment toward my ex-husband, ex-boyfriend and bosses at work. I am in a constant state of anger during my waking hours and it just seems to be getting worse. I am really afraid of snapping and just don't where to turn.

A friend told me that in the South a white didn't mind a black as a neighbor but didn't want him having any political power or status in general. However, in the North the whites didn't mind blacks having power in there own caucuses but didn't want them living in their neighborhood. It sounded strange to me, is it true? Any links to support this?

in march there was a horific traffic accident right outside my house, my husband and I were the one of the first on the scene, there was a car in the ditch on the other side of the road and one in frount of us, and was on fire, the driver was stuck by the legs and his wife was in the back the baby had been thrown into the front, we got the woman out and put her straight into the recovery position, and someone else got the baby, we tried to fight the fire and suceeded enough to free the driver, with 40 seconds before the car went up completely, my problem is that although we saved the driver, he is in a wheelchair now ( don't know if we caused it by yanking him out) , the woman was left to long before we had time to give mouth to mouth and died, the scene was what can only be descibe as a war zone, has anyone else had to make this life and death choice and how did you deal with the feelings of guilt at not doing more to save a life, this is the only sadness in my life.

Let's say users on this forum did not display an avatar/pic and the username was non-gender based, would you be able to determine male or female based on the writing alone? This would exclude a specific question/answer which indicates a gender. Would our prose put us into a traditional gender role?
