I'm thirteen, and I'm going to go to a funeral on Thursday. I would like to know how long it will be. I'm going to the viewing, the actual funeral, the burial, and the luncheon afterwards. How long will this take? I'm really scared to go to the funeral. I hate looking at dead people. Any advice?

A question came up earlier (in another category) and the answers all seemed to fall in a line, I thought (after reading them) this is ridiculous! Why can't we just apologize for our mistakes? So, my question to you: Is it really that hard to do the right thing? Why? or Why not then?

Is it to make people stomp the floor as if they are having leg cramps, is it to make them look as if they are having epileptic seizures, or to speak in tongues? Or is it to guide one to the truth?

or not really racist but predjudice in some way? please tell me!

Okay here's the story:
I woke up early this morning to an alarm going off in my building I live in on-campus apartments and I just moved here so I had no idea what to do, it didn't sound like a normal fire alarm and there was no call for a fire drill but my suitemate said we should go outside. So we all file out and it just so happens at my school there are alot of Muslims, Middle Easten people, basically the majority of students living in this building are international. And when we got outside noone I knew as being 'incharge' was there to tell us what to do. There were a few men with beards and turbans on telling us all to go over by the fence, but the area where they were telling us to stand was inclosed, so I can't understand if it was a REAL EMERGENCY we would not all want to be enclosed like that with no way out! THis all had me really confused!

Seriously. I know there were animals, 2 of each. But there is no mention about fish. Of course they could live in the water, but there are 2 kinds of water, the sea'ocean is salty, the water around icebergs or in rivers is not. And each fish can live in only one type of water, but the water was the same all around (right?) so only some of them could live in it.

So, Noah's ark only had animals, or fish as well?

I don't know if I spelled it right...it's either Africaans or Afrikaans. Where does the language come from?

This question was posed today in one of my classes and the main answer was no. Most of the students said that it would not be an issue before or after the sex change but during the change it would be an issue.

What is your take on this issue?



*** by the way all the students said that there is nothing wrong with someone who is gay or lesbian teaching students so this question is not meant as a moral or religious attack but rather as whether or not it is acceptable

Were they talking about Kingdom, Phylum, Order, Family, Genus, or Species? I'm pretty sure it wasn't kingdom because then there wouldn't have been the clean vs. unclean thing, but did he bring 2 mammals, 2 reptiles, 2 amphibians?

Or was it 2 carnivorae, 2 microbiothirdiiae, 2 rodentiae, etc?

Or maybe it was family: 2 canidae, 2 felidae, 2 ursidae?

Or genus: 2 lupine, 2 vulpes, 2 lycaons?

Or species: 2 canis lupus (wolf), 2 canis aureus (jackal), 2 canis latrans (coyote)?

What about sub-species? If he just took the species, man's best friend the dog didn't even make it onto the ark! That would be a canis lupus familiaris... but that begs the breed question. Did he bring collies? German sheppherds? Daschunds? Or did he just pick 2 dogs and have done with it? If that's how it worked, where did chihuahuas come from?

Or if you don't like hot dogs, just say that and your religion.

I think the NAACP and National Urban League do. While I have great respect and reverance for these organizations, why does it seem like they continue to look for a "black agenda" around which we can all unite with the fervor and passion of decades past, when in fact there's a need for multiple agendas. The problem is that we all say we want an "honest dialogue" about race, but we've been having the same old arguments for years -- affirmative action, inner-city dysfunction, overt and covert racism -- and we seem to be stuck. We need a new language, a new vocabulary and syntax.
I say this because blacks are now more powerful than ever. Census data suggests that there's a sizable cluster of educated, middle-class black households on par with whites, and another large cluster of disadvantaged black households that lag much further behind.
What are you thoughts?
