Hi!

I know this question has been asked before, but this is another day. Some of my neighbours on YA have expressed sadness of late and others have expressed joy. I just wonder how you are and thought I'd let you know I'm thinking about you and wishing you all a really fulfilled day that uplifts you and inspires you in some way.

Good wishes.

Met a newcomer to our village this morning.
Got talking as one does. To cut a long story short - his father flew glider planes in WWII. My father jumped out of planes (!) as a paratrooper in Airborne Div., both his father and my father were taken prisoner at Arnhem, Netherdlands. The site of a battle of note (A Bridge Too Far/The Longest Day).

I hail from Scotland. He was brought up in France. We are both immigrants to this part of the world.

We both own GOLDEN RETRIEVER dogs!

What are the chances of ALL those things coming together?
Spooky or what?

As someone once said - It's a small world, until the time comes to paint it!

He drove his car to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
The crowd roared as they started the race
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace

I quite dislike all gays. At first I thought I was just being true to myself after so many bad incidents of childhood abuse and other things at the hands of particular gay persons.
But now I find that I have to really catch myself from saying terrible hateful things or acting biased or mean to gay people in school or at work.

I don't want to be a bigoted person. I don't want to be like this!!! I don't want to spread hate and evil, especially not to my children.
but I feel so disgusted and uncomfortable around gay people, looking at them on televison or even seeing pictures of someone who is openly gay (like celebs or something)

What can I do?

Six kids ganged up on one kid and beat him. Why shouldn't they be punished?

Everybody acts like it is so racist that they were punished. If six white kids had ganged up on a black kid, then they would probably all have gotten the death penalty. There is so much reverse discrimination in this country. If society tries to punish a black person for legitimately doing something wrong, then they cry racism.

I know that some white kids hung nooses in a tree, and I agree that what they did was wrong, but they did not physically harm anybody. Imagine how frightening it would be to have six people attacking you. The kid attacked probably thought he was going to be killed. How does that even compare to a stupid, inappropriate demonstration?

Yes, the noose thing was wrong, but just because a few immature white teenagers in a small town decided to hang ropes in a tree doesn't mean racism is still a big problem in America. It was one isolated incident.

How the Media Brainwashes White Girls

Sexually Racist Y! Music Ads*

Here is an example of how the media brainwashes white girls:

Presently, when you logon Yahoo, an ad for Yahoo Music Unlimited is displayed. If you logoff and them logon again, another ad for Yahoo Music appears. Each time, the picture for the ad usually changes. Within a space of half an hour, I printed four different pictures for the Yahoo Music ad.

Each picture consists of a man with two women. In each, the male is black; the white is female. In each, the black man is depicted with a white woman.

In one ad, a blond is standing toward the black man while all eyes are turned toward you, the viewer. In another, a white hand is reaching for the black man's chest, as if to unbutton his shirt.

You may scroll down the screen to see other ads. In each, a white man is depicted alone.

The message to white girls is simple: "Black guys are studs. White guys are losers."

Questions:

Is the media Jewish controlled? Do Zionists conspire to mix whites to extinction, and to mock white males in the process?

The only way to stop racism is to stop the media and government from encouraging it.

Media encourages all the people to hate eachother because they force blame on all groups then blow issues out of porpotion. They degrade one race to believe they need to act a certain way and must stay in a state of uneducated stupor. Then they play on history when history should have nothing to do with how poeple should be today. If the media was ever trying to uplift a degraded people then those people should be proserporous today it is 2007, not 1850, 1955, 1965 but the age where people should be enlighted. Where the people should be filled with hope. Where we should have flying cars and moveing walkways, awsome public transportation systems. Where anyone could hop a monrail and go across the country in a day. What has happened? Government shows favoritism, forces blame, pretends to encourge then turns it's back on the people that it is trying to serve. Do they encourage hatred among the races?

I just dont understand why alot(not all) black people assume prejudice so often. I can tease friends of any nationality playfully as a joke and not worry them taking it too seriously except blacks. It just seems you have to always be on your toes with alot(not all) of black people because they assume you're prejudice.

I'm sure everyone has seen the "Chris Crocker-Leave Britney Alone" video, which I found to be completely stupid and a waste of time. Because someone in Hollywood thought he was talented, he's now famous, insulting those who have worked hard and gotten nowhere.

In an age where unnecessary behavior buys you fame, why has it become so important to so many of us?

Keep in mind, you can be successful and live a wonderful, happy life without being famous. Always trying to be the center of attention is such an unnecessary thing to strive for.
