My sister wants her first baby's name to be very obviously Italian but unique. Not too strange though, but not really common. Does anyone like Marcella or Nicoletta? Thank you. Any other suggestions?

okay last year I used to hang out with all mexicans. It was cool & then this mulatto girl moved in. she was pretty cool. i was friends with her too. After awhile, all my friends starting ignoring & started hanging out with the other girl & it really pissed me off. they used to compare her & i a lot and they would ask me why i didn't have light-skin and tell me I wasn't pretty enough. My supposed best friend used to call other black people in the N-word right in front of my face & mixed girl did also. They would also talk about how much they hated blacks. For some reason, the mixed girl started hating me. like when they would take group pictures they would exclude me purposely. they started a mexican party crew & they allowed that mixed girl to be in it because she could pass as mexican. it really pissed me off how the treated her a lot better than me & i was the ONE THAT WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR THEM. she would ditch them SO MANY TIMES. SORRY I'M REALLY VENTING.
So what do you think?

I've recently undertaken the task of re-reading ' A people's history of the United States' by Howard Zinn. It has spurned many question that I found myself failing to ask for fear of rejection or inadequate responses. Any information your have to share concerning the questions or the history of the US are welcomed. Thx.

I read an article saying blacks thins SATs are a biased test. WTF? How are math and english culturally biased? You either learned or didn't. Isn't adding points to a score because one is a minority so they can getting in a school the equivlant of saying, "Hey you played shitty ball in High School, so we will put you on a pro team and you will play better."? And if it is culturally biased why can i get a kid from Korea or Sweeden that dont even speak english as a first language that would blow most American scores out of the water? Please no "blacks are stupid" responses I want real reasons as to how this arguement has any credence.

In a few years can u see people who hate homosexuals equal to those who hated African American years back?
I just have a feeling that once the world is able to finally accept homosexuals as they are and stop all the discrimination today I believe that things are going to be looked back on time todaya dn see people who hated homosexuals to be just as merciless as people who hated aferican americans years ago. (not that hate will ever end sadly)

Anyone agree with me?


(I am not trying to say they have been through the saae issue's or go off on are race or belifs. I'm not saying one case is worse then the other.)

My brother recently obtained a white house fellowship. If you read my last question, you saw that he will have the opportunity to ask President Bush just one question. I spoke to him last night, and he will also be able to ask Condileeza Rice a question, as well as Don Rumsfeld. It was so interesting to see the responses last time, I thought we'd try it again!

I have a lil sis in high school she plays soccer and she over heard a few of the gay gals talking about how one of her teamates look undressed. Now my sis and a few of her friends won't shower or change in front of these girls.

Some one told me that straight people need to get used to it and deal with it. Is that how you feel? If so, I think Gay people should have thier own locker room, go check each other out. Granted the locker room isn't the best place to look at people, but still my sister shouldn't have to feel that way, if she tells then she gets segragted and has to change elsewhere and she shouldn't have to she did nothing wrong. Whereas those girls did. They shouldn't be peeping Toms.

I'm doing my best not to come off as an A**hole on this question because that sh** is wrong. Thats how people get thier a.s.s Kicked in my openny.

This is supposed to be an exercise in getting out in the world & meeting people in order to improve my dismal social life a bit. I don't mind what sort of club it is as long as it's not too sporty. Other than that I'm pretty much game for ANYTHING!! In case it helps; I'm 35, studying Humanities in South-East London & pretty laid back about most things, I'd describe myself as bi & can be a bit kinky in the right situation (but only on days with a sunrise AND a sunset in them!!) So then anyone got any ideas for me?

I think that there are other ethnicities and nationalities that look better than Brazialians. I think East African, West African, South Asian, and Carribean women are better looking than some of the "Braizialian bombshells" like Giselle Buduchen(I think Giselle looks too white and nordic for my taste).

To be honest the most I knew about Gay folks before this Yahoo Answers existed on a dvd I didn't want to see or one that I've seen. I think it's that way for a lot of us straight folks. Anyways what do you think in that regard?

I was standing in line at the gas station in the relatively small town my parents live in and this cowboy comes in and cuts infront of everyone waiting and starts in on the guy of apparent Indian descent working the counter about how to pay for his gas. After fumbling out some words about how he can't manage to work the pump and 'where do I pay?' and 'do I have to come back inside to get change?' He then walks away, turns to us as he's doing so and says ''Press 1 for english'' and starts laughing like a redneck idiot. The worst is that the cashier spoke perfect english and the cowboy was about as eloquent as a gorilla. Anyway, those of us in line exchanged a confused glance and said sorry to the cashier but man I wish I could have said something to that guy. Have you ever had something like that happen when you managed to say something witty that put them in their place?
