First of all let me say that I am NOT racist.
....at all. I try to be a very fair person.

Other races(Black, Latino, Asian etc...) are very proud of their heritage and they show it but it seems to me that being a fully white person anymore is a bad thing.

For instance, some African Americans at my school will be talking about me/my friends and say.."Eww she white!" Like it's bad...or disgusting.

Why is being of White descent synonomous with:
-boring
-uncool
-stuck up
etc...

I don't do that to them...but if I did it would "RACIST" but they do it...isn't that racist?

An answer to my previous question got me thinking about this...


For those of you who do not know, she is a teenaged golf prodigy who has made repeated attempts to qualify for the men's PGA tour (she only made cuts once, and has not advanced far in any male tournaments). She has already received contracts worth somewhere around 10 million dollars a year, but never has performed well in men's events, and she missed by 14 strokes in her last attempt to make the cut.

She gets invited to tournaments based on sponsor exemptions, which take spots away from more qualified male golfers, which upsets many people since she has not made cuts on the PGA tour, and she has recently struggled in female events.

Is she good for feminism? My reason for wondering is because she's getting these things and being allowed to compete BECAUSE she's a woman. A male golfer with her abilities would not get the same treatment. Your thoughts?

Okay, I have refused to go to school for a little while, because of the people there who bullied me.
I had a meeting with my head of year tonight, with my mum, and I have 2 options -
I can choose to go to a new school. But the one I want to go to is full, and I would need to appeal, which means I'll be out of school for at least a month, and there is no gurantee they'll accept me, it depends how sympaphetic they are.
I can have a fresh start, meet new people, not f*ck like I did in my present school.

Or, I can be slowly rehabilitated into school. As in, I can do half days, or just a couple of lessons. Then eventually whole days.
They'll arrange places where I can go with my few friends, and no one else.
I'll have the chance to move teaching groups.
but that won't stop people hating me.


I have no idea what to do. I have untill tomorrow to decide.
Please, give me your opinions.

Not only do they fight any legislation that would require an ounce of truth being told to their clients seeking counseling for an unplanned pregnancy (never refer clients to adoption agencies nor tell of financial assistance for having the child, at least in my area anyway) but now they decieve town and city governments about buildings they want built? If they have nothing to hide, why are they so deceptive in their tactics down to having buildings built?

Add some people will say stuff like your tone is unpleasent.
it hurts because i do not see me being rude to anyone minus a day here and there do to lack of control but I normal come of nice so i thought
but i had a few people approach me saying i have a rude undertone. If i don't see this and they don't give me an example how can i fix it?
so mainly how do i doulbe check my tone when i think about it i think i come of sounding condesending and i dont want that either!
how can i balance this out!

I dreamed that a white rabbit hopped out from under my bed. I seemed surprised in the dream, even amused a little. I opened the bedroom door for him to hop out.
What could this represent?

if an animall can adapt to its environment it evolves ! what happens when adapting your envioronment to your needs is easyier than adapting your self does that mean that we are as evolved as we can be within the confines of a socity dependent on technology ? and if so does that mean that the human race is doomed to be what we currently are untill we are wiped out (ethier by ourselves or by the inevatable suppernova of the sun)

I am very easily bored, and don't know what to do when I've got free time and just hate being alone....I am not a only child, but I did play on my own sometimes when I was little with no problems, maybe I need challenges??? I don't like to repeat things, especially seeing places, if I've been to a city, museum or whichever place one time, I find it boring to be there for a second time...and to be honest, I just find most things in life quite boring....is there anything wrong with me and will I change when I become older???

ok i smoked weed now about 2 months ago, and i hate to keep bringing it up, but its been 2 months and people tell me its out of my system, but i feel the same way in the head(minor) as i did when i was high, i didnt enjoy it one bit. It made me feel horrible like i was like thinking i signed a death conctact or something and kept thinking, "damn i shouldn't of done that" and felt like my mind was dead. and my heart was gonna stop. and that i was going to hell for smoking weed, well now. 2 months later after me and my girlfriend got into some arguements here and there, and went through a break up stage, i think that triggered it again, i cant get over this. I dont know what it is that makes my head go crazy, but i keep thinking that i died and went to hell, and im in hell now and its a mind hell. like people are there, but they really aren't, and this is all a setup, i cant relax cuz i keep thinking im not here. And feel abnormal, like numb inside. Can anyone suggest what is wrong?

I cant help but feel depressed everyday. I have no money for education and I have no idea what im interested in. I like music and computers but cant afford school for those fields. I know I dont want to do retail, telemarketing, waiting tables. Those depress me even more when thinking about it. The pay won'ty even let you live on your own and support yourself. Especially on LI. Other than those positions, I cant find any other types of jobs around here. I feel alone in this and need a way to escape this everyday torture. Does anyone know of any good jobs on long island that pay well.
