I am a African American who thinks white guys are so attractive. Thing is it seems like they are so afraid to approach me. I mean I dress preppy (JCrew, AE, Sperry's, Rainbows) and speak proper... It just seems like they never even take a second glance at me. It would be really nice to find the real reason why white guys are afraid to even talk to a black girl..more or less date one.

Welfare is a benefit to an entitlement and while i do not begrudge it going to help people with genuine needs or who have earnt it (aged penioners, tpis and veterans affairs pensioners) I do feel that australia is creating a generation of welfare dependants with one generation breeding another generation thanks to the baby bonus, not to mention those who rort the system so they dont have to put in a days work and yet still get the money in their pockets, all these people should feel ashamed, I have known people with down syndrome and serious defects that still hold down a full time job and frankly I cant see how people with moderate disabilitys (ie depression and aniety etc) cant be placed at work places that are suitable for their conditions rather than being a burden on society in general. If not this then certainly there needs to be stricter testing to ensure that the right people (those who need it) get the welfare payments not those who are just to lazy to get a job.

Every disney channel movie I watch seems extremely stereotypical. Sometimes, when the main character is african american, he goes to a school and you don't see a caucasian person until maybe 30 minuted into the movie or more! (ex: "Jump in!" )

If you've ever watched Akila's Bee, the smart a ss spelling bee dude is asian, and the main character who's supposed to be from a bad neighborhood is black. And everyone around her is black too!

They also make stupid calls, like in Johny Tsunami the main character is hawaiian but his father is chinese and his mother is irish. How does he get his naturally dark skin and wavy hair from two paler skinned races with signifigantly straighter hair? >:

I think Disney needs to get with it! Has anyone else ever noticed this? What do you think about it?

I was walking around my backyard and I just saw it sitting there so I picked it - I should have left it though...

The only question now is - what should I do to preserve it? For now I pressed it in a book on p.47 (my lucky number). Any other tips?

It's a big world. There are other countries besides the U.S. They keep taking the position that Revivalist/fundamentalist "Christians" are the top leadership of Christianity,notwithstanding that almost all Christians are Eastern orthodox,Roman Catholic or mainstream Protestant. Then they ignore the one area - for all their preoccupation with fundies - where the Bible Belt vote really does affect our affairs as a nation - gung-ho anything-is-acceptable support for Israel - which you would think would be a leading concern. They go out about school prayer,etc, and other areas where fundies have consistently failed,then ignore their successes. Right now we have a U.S. sponsored duel war raging in Iraq and Afghanistan because we have a fundie president who thinks Jewish neo-cons are from God and he has but to do their bidding and everything will be great. Shouldn't this excite your interest? Or are you not capable of grasping the reality of anything that takes place outside our borders?

Being nice to others? I ask because when I am pleasant to others, I mostly get negative feedback. Why? Be as honest as you may. I can take it.

I cannot but look in horror and despair at some of the questions posted in the "Society and Culture" forum. There are people slugging each other off on their skin colour or ethnicity. There is the eternal battle between Christian and Non-Christian and religion versus science. Are the people asking really wanting to know what others think, or are they just voicing out their opinions? Is this intolerance shown here reflective of todays reality?

I found out that I am a 23rd great-grandson of Henry III, a 22nd great-grandson of Edward I, and a 21st great-grandson of Edward II. I think that is quite common as it was many years ago.

But I am also directly related to some later monarchs. I am an 17th great grandson of Mary, Queen of Scots, a 16th great-grandson of James I, a 15th great-grandson of Charles I, and a 14th great-grandson of Charles II, and part of my family, the Percy Family, which used to be one of the most powerful families in England, still is in England and has titles in England to this day.

This question goes out to the Atheists. Do you find it insulting when someone says "You're an Atheist? I'll pray for you," or "I hope you see the light someday?"

Rich church ladies in the rococola part of Atlanta (think Coca-Cola, kids) plucked me out of a cotton-mill village at age 15, in 1951, and sent me to a military school in the Jim Crow wilds of central Georgia. There, five mornings a week, a local member of the clergy would tell us all about god, say a prayer for which we were to stand, and, then, the band played "Dixie," at the end of which the grubby sons of South Georgia white bigots hooted and yelled and stamped their feet. I was an atheist at age 9, back in the mill village, but golly, those morning chapels sure as shoot reaffirmed by unbelief. I should not say it, no I shouldn't, but I will anyway: thank god.

Hadith and islamic books tells us a story. Once a man wanted the proof of Allah and asked prophet Muhammed (pbuh) to split the moon into two parts.Muhammed (pbuh) prayed to Allah and Allah granted his prayer and did so. The man was amazed by seeing that.Two parts joined back but the crack in middle remained.
one more source says that there is always a sound of athan (islamic call for prayer) is heard in the moon.
Then Neill armstrong, the first human being to step on the moon, found in the moon that there is crack in the middle of the moon and heard a kind of sound he couldn't understand. when he came back and he found that it was mentioned by islam before. and when he went to Egypt once, he heard athan and asked his muslim frnd what's that, that's the same sound that he heard in the moon. the frnd said that's athan. then he converted to Muslim. and then western media hid him behind media so that people can not know what islam is.

Now wht hav u got to say?
sensible answers please
