I took a couple classes at the University of Chicago, and I seem to recall that they accept evolution.

(Yes, that's a Jesuit school.)

Whenever some "succesful" person is asked how they did it, they make out that anyone can do it, "just do what I did". What they seem to overlook is that what allowed them to be "succesful", is all the people they employ and pay peanuts, they didn't become "succesful" by paying their workers the same. If this is their path to success, then how can everyone become "succesful"? Not everyone can own a business as there would be no workers yet we constanly hear these morons say that if you are not successful its your fault for not working hard enough so stop complaining. OK lets play your silly game, we will all work hard and build our businesses you just tell us who will do all the work? Robots? Genetically modified apes? I think we know how that worked out, so capatalists, enjoy the delusion while it lasts. How many times have you heard some idiot rental tycoon say "anyone can do it", who will rent your houses genius if everyone is doing it? No brain no pain.

Only recently, for some odd reason, numerous people have told me I have very "dominant" or "dark" features. Being a big part Italian-Albanian, being slightly "dark" would make sense. But what exactly does it mean to be dominant and dark? From my understanding 'dark' doesn't necessarily mean your coloring, but dominance and dark being more the look and shape of your features, correct? Just trying to better understand what people mean by these comments.

I have found that I am getting more and more sick of the media. Does anyone here think what Isaiah Washington from Grey's Anatomy did anything wrong? First off, here is the story. Isaiah and Patrick fought over a scene they disagreed with. NOT about Isaiah calling T.R. a F@ggot. He called T.R. a name after the scuffle when T.R. tried to intervene. Whether it was f@ggot or c0ck sucker that is up for debate. The main point is, with a country that allows the KKK to run around stating racial slurs and threats, why is it wrong for someone to say "f@ggot" out of anger? Or even as a joke? We allow racism and their hatred reign, but god forgive you say queer. Where are our morals as a country? Why is it okay for homosexuals to display their act, but it is not okay for straight people dislike or speak their minds about it? Where is the logic? I would love input on this.

Sure some of it is legit. Maybe they have looked and looked and have found nothing and figure someone on here might have knowladge on said subject and might have referances for them. Its the kids that get on and have say a simple math problem or are asking people to basicly do thier homework for them that annoys me.
Is it just me or does this irk anyone else?
Don't get me wrong I have no problems helping when it is a legit question and i have nothing against kids using the full extent of their resources but if its simple why bother?

I though I heard it all but this is So bad that this savage should get the death Penalty.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,243998,00.html#

Please do not compare women and children to this case ....Because I was a victim as a child So I understand.
My opinion is that .........this is worse than anything we do to eachother.It is scary that this savage could have the mind-set to do this.There is no hope for the peice of crap and is a lost soul and should be shot Dead on the Spot.
Animal/pets are the most innocent and helpless on this earth.
Yes babies are innocent but we eventually grow up to be Humans and we all know humans ......CAN BE SO CRUEL
But animals/pets are born innocent and stay innocent.......and anyone who hurts helpless animals is the very worst of society .....PERIOD

I think wearing a head scarf is a beautiful show of respect and faith. Would a Muslim find it offensive for a non-Muslim to wear a head scarf for the same reasons they do?

Before I even say anything, I feel that I should point out that I myself, am autistic. With that out of the way, here's the shirt;

(Caution: Mature Content)

http://www.tshirthell.com/store/product.php?productid=413

Sure, some people may find it offensive. I know some people (the pc police) would find this offensive... but I'm of the mind that even the most right-wing conservative republican would only find this, slightly offensive.

Where my confusion lies is, the website, T-Shirt Hell has two categories, the more offensive of which is titled, "Worse Than Hell." That is the section that this shirt can be found under.

When I compare that shirt to shirts found in their regular, less offensive section, I find many shirts that are far more offensive than this shirt, which, according the to site, is more offensive. Am I missing why this shirt is so offensive? I know with some forms of Autism, rocking occurs. So, in your eyes, why is this so offensive?

I believe the greatest gift a person could have is to be born a beautiful woman. If you're a beautiful woman, you have the whole world at your fingertips. You can have anything you want and you don't even have to work for it if you don't want. You have what all men desire and what all other women wish they had.
Case in point: Paris Hilton. She's good for absolutely nothing and has no real talent and yet she will never live on the street or have to suffer eating instant noodles. She's getting paid a million dollars just for being a 'show piece' at a fancy ball in Europe. Men and women will bow her and give her what she wants- just because they wish they could have her or be her.
What do you think?
