Society & Culture - 23 January 2007

People are becoming more brutal in action and even speech. Hardly anyone seems to stay married. The next generation of kids in school will have stange times when parent teacher day rolls around. Stealing it seems is even something that seems to be a gray area.

Everyone always asks about the most beautiful language, but what language sounds the most sad?

2007-01-23 16:06:16 · 6 answers · asked by Yuka 4 in Languages

shift depending on the social climate at the time, or even on other factors. For example, sometimes Latinos are considered White, sometimes not. Yes, some have white skin. But skin color is different than race. Other Latinos have African ancestry..Are they Black, Latin or Black Latin? Is Latino its own race? I say yes; some disagree. As for middle easterners, some consider themselves white, others don't. I know of some middle eastern people who I've always thought of as white..until I found out they were middle eastern. They have fairly common last names that I never associated with being "non white." Is it post 9/11 that I now think they aren't white? Am I the only one who's wondered?

Before you flame, I'm black.

I would like to start out by saying "I am not a racist" I dont hate anybody by the way they look. However as I have grown to my surrondings I have begun to think that people of certain racial origin just seem to be smarter than others. I Would say the smartest races are either East Asians or White/Caucasians. They just seem so cut above middle easterners (Arabs,persians) and especially blacks. Blacks would have to be at the bottom of the intelligence pyramid. I mean look at Europe or Japan and then look at Africa. Africa is just so primative.They are still living in mud huts spreading aids all over. Its head scratching to think how they just keep doing it. I know Blacks in the U.S have been subjected to harsh racism. (im not gonna lie) However they are still going nowhere as a people. Many end up with dead end jobs or land in Jail. So why do Asians do so well in White schools but blacks dont. Because blacks are the dumbest race on planet earth. dont believe me click this below.

alright... so. currently i'm a girl in high school. for maybe the past year or so people (even my close-ish friends) have cracked jokes about me being secretly lesbian. i always considered myself to be straight, but since they started those jokes, i kind of wonder if i'm bi or if they're right. i've never been in any relationships and i don't think i know how it feels to be attracted to anyone. i know when i think people are hot and when i admire them for their personality, but it seems like i'm having issues distinguishing between those two: attraction and admiration. so anyway, when my friends joke about me, i can't necessarily argue because i have no experience. what do you think?

For those of you not familiar with Deism, here are the basics:

1. God Exists

2. Reason is the primary tool by which we seek to understand God and the Universe.

3. God Created the Universe, or caused its creation.

4. God does not interfere in the universe he created.

5. All revelations from God currently being espoused are false, but we may each still find inspiration from within ourselves.

6. There is no such thing as the “supernatural”… just things humanity may not understand as of yet.

7. God should be revered, and thanked, but never petitioned.


Please no one word answers. I am trying to understand both sides.

Is it like you really don't want to for whatever reason but your heart(God)reminds you that it would be the right thing to do so He is the only reason that you will do it? And if so, is this a good reason to do the right thing?

Christians usually place great importance on the first 17 verses of Exodus 20, but say the last three verses of that capter and the next three chapters no longer count because Jesus changed things. (Things like sacrifices, alters, and giving to the poor every 7th year).

What Bible passages can you quote say of the dozens of Commandments in those verses, only those 10 still need to be followed? If you can't, would you tell what method you use to pick and choose what parts of the Bible you want to believe applies to you?

Um...this is really, really hard for me to say but I'm pretty much bi...or bicurious. I don't know! I'm so lost and confused right now and I don't know what to do! A part of me wants to run away and hide but the other part of me wants to run up to every girl in the entire world and proclaim my love but I'm so scared. I mean, I'm not a lesbian by any means. I'm completely in love with a guy, no I'm not just saying that, but I'm head over heels in love but sometimes I get these...urges? I don't know, I'm really confused at the moment. Help?

Paul told us that we should abstain from the blood of animals. Even if you choose to eat clean meant such as chicken and beef, it should be bloodless. I'd say a big bloody medium rare steak is a lot of people's idea of good eating. Why do we not care about that anymore? If you know anything of what I am talking about, you know that it was not done away with at the cross. I'm sure someone will try to say that, but I am speaking of new testament instructions to gentiles. I'm just curious as to why so many of us straight up ignore that.

It’s not the race...you don't like the mindset...and that mindset, just 'happens' to be carried by a race that is predominantly Jewish, black or Chinese.

So your not racist...you can think blacks in the United States for example, a portion of them, have a chip on their shoulder...You can say that Jews, a good portion of them, think that Palestinians are inferiors..

you can disagree with the mindset...yet not be racist...because blacks, in say, south America, do not have the mindset of chip on shoulder and do not have any hang ups and neither do the whites (I mean, no one is really white or black or Indian. there all the same ****---mixed races)...

so if you don't like a certain mentality, which just happens to be partaked by a certain race....this doesn't make you racist...

it makes you against the culture.

just as you might not agree with the fact that the Jewish lobby in the USA has a lot of power (as generally accepted now not only in media, but amongst the Jews)
