Cultures & Groups - 13 October 2006

I posted this question before and got some good answers. But I need to clear up some things. First of all, my husband did not give the A as his department head asked him to do. And, yes this was made a race issue when the girl complained that my husband was racist when he would not regrade her paper right there and then. He had threee other classes right after that one. He said he would reread it on Thursday, this was Tuesday. She got 17 wrong out of 20 questions, and her oral presentation was all wrong. She did not even do her report on the issue she was given. Department head said just give her the A because we do not need to have every black in the school screaming racisim!!!! This happens all the time. None of his white students in all of his 26 years have ever co mplained of a bad grade because of their color. And lots of times blacks get better grades than whites evern when they are not deserved. Please give some intelligent answers.

Is it that our ideas are really pathetically out of date, or is it because we just can't figure out which hole to stick it in?

Do some (all) lesbian parents of children try to coach their children into being gay, even if your children have made up their minds on being straight? What is your reaction to straight children in your family?

My favorite place is Walmart...kidding of course. I really like Peet's Coffee and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Starbucks was ok until it all the vagabonds showed up.

Yes, I am still talking about crime and race. The staticstis out there, are they really reliable? Who does the studies? Can these studies be fudged to make black men especially look bad? I mean, who says that there isn't a neutral party doing these studies? Also, is racism still going on in the crime category? Are black people more likely to be caught commiting crimes?

Alcoholics Anonymous and the American Medical Association claim that addictions to alcohol and other drugs is a disease. Just the other day, I was found drunk in public and arrested and taken to jail. Today, I was arraigned in court and, in defense, I told the judge that my drunken behaviour was a symptom of my "disease"; and I am was powerless over my disease. The judge slammed his gavel and said, "30 days in jail!"

So much for the disease concept of drug addiction!

Maybe Jesus or an AA doorknob will save me.

Clancy to the rescue?

Baaaarrrrrrfffffff

my friend found a very hilarious paper on all these silly reasons on why gay marriage shouldnt be allowed. we decided to make a thousand copies and hand them out to our friends and post them all over our high school campus. there are veyr few openly gay people in my school and i want all the homophobic people to know that we exist. do you think that getting suspended is worth the price of showing my fellow students that not allowing gay marriage is just silly?

Don't get me wrong, i have nothing against adoption. I was adopted. But, what do you feel about this latest news of Madonna adopting a child from Africa? Coincidence, does this come as a surprise that it is now popular to adopte children out of Africa? Are we going to see similiar celebrity's jump on the adopted bandwagon? There are plenty of children to be adopted here in the US, why not here?

Can young men with mental illnesses join the Freemasons? What about if they attempted suicide when they were teenagers? Does that go against the 'unsullied reputation' requirement, or is the Masons more lenient with that kind of thing?

I mean how many were really born in Africa? How about their parents or grandparents? Probably not born there either. Everybody has hertiage elsewhere but it seems we only need to recognize the black peoples backround.

The "N" word who can use it? and how is it used appropriately? I am a middle aged white salesman and work in areas where the N word is thrown around all the time. EXCUSE my ignorance,, BUT,, I feel if I ever used it even in jest it would be inappropriate. So my quandry is what EXACTLY does the word represent """NOW"""" and is it appropriate to use it by ANYBODY? and if not ""WHY"" and if so When and WHY? and I do understand in the days of SLAVERY it was DEGRADING and DEMORALIZING! So now why is it NOT ? I am not biggoted I really JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND Thank you in advance

and knowing that the National Educational Association is pushing the gay and lesbian agenda in elementary schools, and since anyone having any sexual activity (physical, mental, verbal or visual) with a child of this age is quilty of child molestation. Is the NEA (and all those supporting them) molesting the children of America.

I have met good and bad of all races; and the reality is ~ we are all part of the human race. Do you stick with "your own kind" because you have the same interests (music,etc.) or do you invite diversity in your friendship with others?

If we could have a party for Olga, preferably an Olga bash, or better yet an Olga roast, would we be able to sell any tickets? Why would anyone want to come? I am asking this because her questions are hideously horrifying, they are inhumane and she is shocking with her violence towards people that have done nothing to her. Is she so horrified by her own life that she or HE has to try to make our lives miserable, well who is sick and tired of Olga crossing the lines of humanity? If enough people report her for her abusive behavior, then we could have an Olga roast, yeah. Sounds like a winner to me. I know I am not the only one who is disgusted by Olga's horrid comments about our lifestyles. There is nothing wrong with us loving each other just because we happen to be the same sex. Love is love. We are loving people, why let this beast of burdon continue to taunt us the way that she thinks she has the right to.

I mean, aren't they of European decent, just like white Americans?

No one would say hating Britons, Germans, or French is racist (it may be stupid or hateful or whatever, but not racist). What about Mexicans? Hispanics in general?

And don't blast me, I DO NOT HATE MEXICANS, but I think it is a valid, honest question...

I woke up with this urge to become gay, because I absolutely love to be discriminated against......I want to be beat up, and have my rights stripped away....I love it when people yell mean things at me! ;) If I sound ridicules, then why do you still think that people choose to be gay?
