When I was in my 20's sex was brilliant, I used to shake with passion as though my very blood was on fire.

Nowadays I am more interested in why my next door neighbour chooses to use "ronseal" on his trellis fence, when "Cuprinol" would be a much more acceptable alternative. And I notice he allows some of the granite chips from his driveway to get scuffed on top of his concrete slabs, thus spoiling the look of the whole street. Also there never seems ot be a day that goes by, that he does not get a parcel of some kind delivered.

Its funny every time I go on Yahoo answers and see people complaining about it being “a white man’s world” and say they deserve more and better then what they have with out realizing white men worked hard and earned everything they got. Of course there are gonna be some angry people posting here trying to deny the truth but it is not a coincidence that the nicest and best countries to live in tend to be created and ran by white men. And lets be honest the majority of the most important inventions used today that everyone loves so much like Planes, cars, television, computers, phones, the internet, light bulbs, motion pictures, photography, assembly line, ect(I could go on for hours) was once again create by white males. What’s really annoying is when white males create a company and invention, they work hard to make it a success like Boeing, Microsoft, Dell, ect, and then non white males demand they hire them and give them high profile or executive jobs like they are owed something. Imagine white men making the same demands to a company owned by a bunch of minorities, imagine all the crying and whining they would be doing.

And before those who say that its cause of colonialism that white males are so successful, I would like to mention that Northern Africans, Arabs, and Mongolians colonized and oppressed white people before, yet we never made it an excuse for our short comings and we freed ourselves and worked hard to become a success.

And for those who say its because of slavery, I say the majority of countries have had slavery in its passed but obviously it had nothing to do with how successful it is now. Look at Brazil, Mexico, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Africa, ect. All had slavery yet none of these countries are extremely successful today.

So why do people think white men owe, have to give up, or have to share what they’ve created? And how many will tell the truth and admit white males have earned their success?

this is my assigment question (urgent)..hope u can give me the detail answer:
question :
Although we tend to condemn “ phoniness”(虚假), we also seem to want it. This is to say, we like to be conned or “ smooth talked “. We are also aware of the xtent to which we feel impelled at times to “ put on an act “. Goffman rises the question of the place of phoniness in social relations and refuses to permit us to dismiss it as an easy issue by saying that phoniness is bad and that we do not want anything to do with it. How do we differentiate the phony from the sincere act ? more important, to what extent has “ phoniness” become an important part of modern Malaysian society?

can help me to find:

1)How to diffentiate sincere act and phoniness.

2)the example for sincere act and phoniness..


3) conclusion part
- phoniness is good or bad behavior?

that they have forgotten how to do nice things for someone else without getting anything in return?

Even all you religious believer's out there. Do you only believe in God and do nice by others only so you can go to heaven?

Is that or is that not personal gain?

Do you think this is a good idea? I live in the south and employers don't like single people especially for high paying/ responsibility jobs. There was an article in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution a couple years ago dealing with this. Do you believe this is bad idea? Can it back fire if someone wants to meet my non-existant wife? I guess I can pay a female friend to pretend to be my wife at company events if the need comes to.

Based purely on observational reserch, analysis and the aid of those around me, I (Shane), have come to the conclussion that women generally have 5 roles which they set and perceive to any male they come into contact with over a period of time. Obviously no person likes to be perdicted, especially women, so it won't come as a suprise that a few people will totally disagree purely on the sake of disagreement.

Ok, now the basic principal is that after a period of time, the time varies, that the woman will designate a role she sees fit to the male, each role has their own tasks that the woman expects to be fulfilled. There is also a ranking between the roles, as in, one role is more beneficial to another, (for example the "Bad Guy" role, is better the "Clown", see below for reference).

Here are the 5 roles:

1. "Bad Guy" Role~ Everyone is familiar with such a role. Its plain to see everywhere. Girls love a "Bad Guy". You could see the dirtest, most scum-ridden person with the hot

For instance..my sister looks at me as irresponsible & lazy, but she can confide in me. My friend views me as fun and a good listener. This other man thinks i'm quiet and mean. While this woman looks at me as sweet & nice.........I find it so interesting how different people view the same person....Do you?
