Yes I know many may actually have Native American in them, but come on. It's becoming a running joke among true Native Americans that everyone thinks they're part N.A. I did a personal study w/ this and the majority of friends said they're "part Cherokee" or some other nonsense.

Are people truly embarassed to be what they are? Do they feel there is some "coolness" to be a certain race? Does anyone know how ridiculous this sounds...the average white person inevitably tells a friend "oh and I'm part Blackfoot". It's just outrageous. Is anyone else sick of this apparent bragging right that usually has no proof?

NASA has published in Today's News that Mars Surface has 7 caves like Holes with an amazing INTREST to know More.

Ancient Elders of India Named after Mars Planet as '' Mangal Var '' ( Tuesday ), and they have chosen Lord Muruga, His Vel ( Arrow ), Peacock, and a Snake as the Lord of Mars .
Caves structure - Snake's Hidden Place or Snake's House,
Peacock - who can attack the snake
Vel - The Vel Armour can kill both Peacock and snake if it Harms the Human.
and like Many more significances are there for Mangalwar with the Holes and Snakes related.
Ancient Indians and Ancient Greeks are so close to each other with share of knowledge and that is why Greece is called '' Saptha Rishi'' - 7 Rishis during those times.
Am I right please

It's like if you are skinny, people automatically think that person is anorexic or bulimic.

I am 5'6" and 110 pounds, and I've had people spread rumors behind my back that I am anorexic, when I'm not. They don't even know me, except maybe we met in class once.

Why all this hate?

Both my parents are slim and I am still young so my metabolism is high.

I live in a pretty nice mostly interracial area in California, and I've noticed a lot of Black women/White men couples. It doesn't bother me, but I have noticed that when they are together, they think they are better than anyone else. I am dating a Black man but I'm just so tired of these couples thinking that I care.. what do you think? And don't be mean..

If the USA has to threaten their allies to get them on side, does this reflect an american fear that they really don't have friends left in the world?

I was just wondering, let's say i am trying to figure out if an "acclaimed" straight man is actually straight, so if this "acclaimed" straight man prefers anal intercourse over vaginal intercourse, is that a sign that he could be gay or atleast Bi...

A friend and I went to an all you can eat restuarant to have dinner. He can be a little picky about his surroundings. He does not like to eat beside families with small children and he does not like eating near loud teenagers. (I can somewhat understand). When we sat to eat we moved from one table near small children (ages 1 and three) to another table.

A family sat beside us with a "mentally challenged" daughter. She looked like she was 10 years old and my friend wanted to move again b/c he said looking at her made his stomach turn. At this point, I drew the line. I told him that his behavior was "snooty," childish, cruel and unnecessary. He was angry at me b/c he said that I was being rude for not respecting his wishes and I was trying be controlling. To make along story short, we ended up moving b/c the argument became a little heated and the family was beginning to notice.

QUESTION FOR YOU
Was I wrong for taking up for the family instead of moving right away!

Why do so many(not all) black people act as though they were personally enslaved. The truth of the matter is that blacks have as little of an accurate account as to what it is like to be a slave as whites. I'm Irish yet I don't claim to know what it is like to die of starvation as many Irish did during the great potato fathom of 1847. I am a huge history buff and I have read several books about slavery written from the perspective of slaves and slave owners during slavery. Yet whenever I speak to blacks about the issue it surprises me to see that the majority have no idea what they're talking about and have obviously never read up on the slavery.They usually just spew out stereotypical mumbo jumbo propaganda. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that there are far too many black people running around speaking of slavery and oppression of blacks yet they have no education on the matter. Your thoughts...

I'm a black woman, and I just answered a question about black people calling each other the "n" word. Well my boyfriend is white, and I watch PBR (professional bull riding) just to annoy him. It's a sickness...I just saw that they named a PBR bull Red Neck.

Since some white people think that it should be okay for them to use the "n" word because black people use it, do these same people now believe that it is permissible for black people to call white people redne_k because white people named a bull the same name?

When my mother died, my sister and I nearly came to blows over what music should be played....we were both just a bit stressed, and the choices we had to make just took us over the top. I decided that my kids wouldn't have to go through all that, so have written down a nice description of the sort of thing I'd like. I'm not a control freak, conducting things from the grave, so to speak....but just want them to be able to relax and say, well Mum wanted this and that. Have you done something similar ?

This was something that was offered to us as younger people but would you consider doing it now?

There are many cultures I find interesting...I suppose now I would choose Iceland. They have an interesting folklore I'd like to study and I'd like to learn their system of rune reading.

Not trying to bash or anything, just curious.
Why would one be proud of something they have no control over?
White pride, black power, etc. just seem idiotic to me.

I belive that gayness is natures way of rooting out the emotionaly unevolved humans. so why does everyone stand around and let gay people do what they do?

Is it because everyone has simpathy on them because they have ingaged in a gay expirience as a child or what?

if its unamerican or someting like we have a free nation, then why does our congress talk baout stupid things like taxes when the real problem is the people who pay them.

I belive gayness is good for it does not alow the sickos of the world to reproduce which helps our society in some ways, but why hasn't any ever said anything more than "your gay"

I'm not some hitler figure, I just don't understand why we can stand by and let people act like this and waste our nations resources of latex rubber.

Would it be possible to bring together that many white men and women to help bring up our race...ie help out a brother or sister in need. There are so many ways that we could help eachother. We have so many white men and women out there living on the streets, or hooked on drugs because they cant get gov. assistance to get the help/treatment they need because we are not a minority. So what, we either let them keep diluting us or killing us off until we are? We need to be supportive of our brothers and sisters. How can we do that if we are all seperated by economical backgrounds? In key, we need to keep in mind who we are and where we come from. what I really want to know is how can we bring as many as we possibly can together to start helping eachother...and to actually see how our other brothers/sisters are living and see how we can help them...if we cant see what they're going through, then how can we help them? So in turn that is why I want to know would you come?
