Oprah recently opened a 40 mil. Dollar school in Africa...but when asked why she did not chose to provide some of American impoverished children with such a much needed opportunity. She allegedly...replied that the kids in the inner cities would not appreciate such a school. Do you think that some American child’s life could have been changed of given the opportunity? I am all for helping out the world but shouldnt we as Americans....take care of home first before we go healing abroad?

I've met some Asians, and they're so obsessed with race. I can't talk about others w/o them interrupting and asking what their ethnicity is. Why is race so important to them?

I am a 18 years old college freshman. I go to a private HBCU and I am a lesbian. My mom has paid for everything I have so far and says that as long as she is paying, I have to do what she says. She is really noe ok with my being gay. She made me cut off my mohawk and take out my eyebrow piercing. She has paid for my car(2006 impala) and my college education which cost about 20,000 per year and she got my twin sister and I an apatrment. Next fall, I plan on going to a state school in another city. I really have no idea how I am going to be able to make it on my own. I was thinking about joining the National Guard so I could have money for college and I think it will make me a stronger person and I want my mom to see that I can do things on my own. Does anyone have any adivce on if I should join the national guard. Is there any alternatives and taking out loans are not an option. I want to go to a new city and be able to make it and not have to ask my mom for help.

This question is probably going to get pulled. But which way would you rather have society?Christians everywhere discussing their faith with you or some religion that would force you to give adherence to their beliefs.And wear clothes you don't like?

What has prompted me to begin reading the Bible and accepting Christ as a savior is the deep fear of hell. Is this wrong? Is this merely believing in hell, or is it a form of believing in Christ and God? If I have guilt, does that mean I must not be doing something right? I fear that Christ will say my love is derived from fear and that I am not a strong enough believer. The only book I have to read right now is the New Testament, but I will read it in hopes that my faith and love is strengthened. I hope Jesus can forgive for not having a strong enough faith. I will try to adhere to everything he asks.

I am taking a class on diversity and it is pretty narrow and bias. According to the University, black people are discriminated but I see them discriminate almost everyday and these are no consicuences for their actions.

Sometimes you would like to find that old friend from the old neighborhood or simply the first girl you had a crush with. Have someone came up with the idea of creating a website where you can be able to find any person from your past or where a person can post his or her personal info without incurring in sensitive info that could affect his or her record. Things like I was raised in "X" neighborhood, city, country, graduated from this or that school, lived in this town , alias, etc etc

I keep seeing people with like 6 thumbs downs for honest, legitimate answers to peoples' questions. Even if the answer is a complete fact, they will still get thumbs down! Why is it that people put others down, simply for stating the facts, or for stating their honest beliefs? (even if their statements were respectfully written out)
Do you think there are just really intolerant people on here, or are there just a few morons going through each question giving thumbs down to everyone?
And I understand that a "thumbs down" does not affect our scores, but its still quite disrespectful....
What are your thoughts?
