It seems like the homosexuals in prison would either be very popular or very unpopular for whatever reason. Do they have their own area they are segregated in?

What about people who are extremely intelligent but not as they say "Street Smart". Like for example a doctor, dentist, professor. Someone who has never interacted with the typical types of prison population.

I had to explain to one of my co-workers today why he offended others. Among other recent "jokes," he asked a Muslim woman "What the hell you got under that scarf?" and a gay man if he was going to be the bride or groom at his commitment ceremony. He accused me and my boss of wanting him to be "politically correct" and act "like a robot with no sense of humor." Of course this isn't what anyone wants! It's just that some "jokes" are insulting and don't help morale at an office.

I'm just wondering, why do people who make rude and prejudiced comments so often accuse others of "political correctness" and having no sense of humor? I hear it a lot, but I guess I don't understand it. How do you get through to people who think they have the right to make those kinds of comments and act as if you're just oversensitive and humor-deprived if you take offense?

I'll start from primary school. I came into the london when I was about 10 or less. Basically I was a free spirit - I hardly knew any english but I made tons of friends (who I don't think i can call friends since they were actually making fun of me). Anyways by the time i got to secondary school I was quite fluent. This meant I understood more of the insults and everything. I also knew that I was gay from a young age - so when people around me were using the word 'gay' as way of insulting people - it hurt me even though it wasn't always directed at me. In addition to it - I was made fun of for my colour - I'm quite dark. This hurt the most. I sort of went in a state where I'd become defensive about anything. I easily get angry with people at home right now. The peace of mind that I was in when I younger is completly gone - my confidence is barely alive. I 'm going into university next year and i want to change back to that old care free self. When I knew how to make friends. Any Ideas?

has anyone had experience with texas? i'm visiting here now, and quite frankly, i think they're delusional here. this is conservative stickville usa. and for some reason, the people i've ran into here are arrogant as hell. They say everything in texas is bigger, and i swear they stick their chest out a foot farther than people anywhere else. i've also heard refences by people here comparing this place to california. yeah, maybe bakersfield. if you've been here, or just your opinion?

When I was younger I was bullied by a coloured boy who constant called me names like wigger, white-trash, honkie, all of which I found deeply offensive. One day I turned to him and said "Look, you've been calling me these offensive names long enough. How would you like it if I followed you around calling you a n****r?". Suddenly I was in trouble with the school authorities and everybody thought I was racist!

I have never had any problem with anyone based on their religeon, the colur of their skin, sexual orientation etc..., but because I turned around to this person and asked him a genuine question to show how upset he was making me, suddenly lots of people assumed I did. My problem wasn't anything to do with his skin colour, my problem was with him as a person.

It's all in the past now and we both managed to sort things out, but was I wrong to react the way that I did?

I can't keep my eyes off his dark ripped-muscular body. He hardly wears a shirt when they are home and I spend the night quite often. I think I noticed him looking at me a few times but he'd just turn away really fast. My friend is an exotic dancer so on weekends she doesn't get home till around 4 a.m.
I want him inside of me so bad!!
I love her very much but I am very attracted to her man.

What to do!?

After reading the latest story of Ms Hiltons outburst in court today, I winder if she has truly fourn her motivation and now can actually act. (statement or question...hmm...lit'l bit o' both).

I like the discription of he appearance, and her lame attempt to get Mommy to help her out ("she mouthed the words I love you, while looking over at her Mother"). Screaming at the judge on her way out of court "how unfair she was being treated" she is now to face her complete 45 day sentence.

The statement that Sheriff made regarding her "unspecified illness" and how "it's best not to leave a person in that condition locked up" (or words to that effect), tends to lead me to believe that Ms Hilton may have more of a substance abuse problem than an actual medical condition. A correctional medical facility will not give you the substance that you crave (ie alcohol or illegal drugs) if that's your "medical condition".

no sympathy for a 26 year old, that's what I say.

Is it an uncomfortable issue in America that most Native Americans live on reservations which is a tiny fraction of their original land or is it all consigned to history now?

I saw with my own eyes, this girl get beat horribly because of calling someone a racial slur. This was at a Food Lion of all places. I only heard the slur and saw the fight. A white girl called the black girl a nappy headed, n**ger, b**ch. The white girl really got beaten terrible. She had chunks of hair yanked from her scalp, her lip was busted and she was bleeding badly from the face. Both of them got arrested. I know that the white lady had to get medical attention. It was pretty much a fair fight, both of them were tiny ladies. At one point, I almost said something, but changed my mind. A small part of me felt sort of sorry for the white girl. When all was said and done, the crowd of all colors were saying that the white girl got what she deserved. What do you think?

This happened less than 10 minutes ago.

Why can't trinis stand jamaicans! I always hear trinis talk bad about jamaicans. I almost never hear a jamaican say two cents about trinis until asked..and its always.."i don't really like them too much..cuz they don't like us"
In fact, most of the caribbean can't stand trinis or jamaicans? And wherever jamaicans go, people either really love them or really hate them? WHY?

I personally think its a hatred that was built by the generation before this one b/c it seems that the younger generation has no problem with one another..embracing each others culture and music, and people..

But the older generation has to constantly point out that their dislikes of one another..
Also I think its purely misunderstanding and lack of respect for each others culture and personality..
