Cultures & Groups - 26 September 2007

If we all banded together & wrote YQ&A about our problem(s) and also told them how our area was the best kept, kind, considerate, & the help we have given to others, etc. they just might take a better look at us.
I am also sending a message to the AP news about this too for we are NOT like the other areas on Y Q&A.

My friend has a relative in her early 60's who plans to go back to college to earn her Ph.D. She is retired and has no intention of going back to work. My friend thinks this is "ridiculous," a waste of money, and "stealing a seat" from a younger person who will use the degree. What are your thoughts on this matter?

Sometimes I feel our young are missing so much if we allow these old films to go unremembered.

Im trying to learn to love my dark skin! :)..... I do not care anymore. This skin will not change, I need to work with what I got maybe even what others want. How are you guys doing???

I'm not trying to be racist and single all the lighters out but we all know that in the black community its harder being dark. So im try to gather this circle of brown/dark goodness :) And help us realize its ok. Even if you learn to accept it or are in the process of accepting it like me!!

First of all the Civil war wasnt about slaves. It was about preserving the Union and keeping the New Nation Together. Slaves were an issue, but were not the main issue, so can you people please stop saying blacks need to pay you, if anything it should be the opposite.

Why is it that you have United ***** College Fund, Martin Luther King Day, Black History Month, Cesar Chavaz Day, Ma'uled Al-Nabi, Yom Hashoah, the NAACP, Bet. But if we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists?

Bill O'Reilly took Al Sharpton to a restaurant named Sylvia's and it is black owned. This is what he said about it:

I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship," he told listeners. "It was the same, and that's really what this society's all about now here in the U.S.A. There's no difference."

"there wasn't any kind of craziness at all". "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, 'M.F.-er, I want more iced tea.' "

"It was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense that people were sitting there and they were ordering and just having fun,"

Seems it's been nothing but re-wrights. Yes...they have squashed us with the computer....but besides that? What's NEW?

My daughter was so thrilled to go to OZ fest years ago. Ya Ozzie from Black Sabbath...tripped to him way back myself. Still a star today. Metal isn't much more than hard rock was. So many of the NEW stars are just re-doing what was already done.

Where is their "Star Trek"? Now it's "reality TV"

They don't have a "Leave it to Beaver" or "Brady Bunch" or " I dream of Jeannie". No "Bonanza" or "Little House on the Prarie".

No new answer to disease or illness.

It's sad.

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine and I know he is depressed and he finally came out and admitted it.

Do the men in your life hide these things?

Men, do you hide such things?

Any opinions please?

Ok everyone, I know this is senior citizens, but I'd like the answer from you guys. Most seniors I meet or talk to seem to be alot stronger mentally or full of serenity compared to me or someone my age. I want to know if you guys think it's just a generation thing, that you have always been like that, or that people actually CAN get better.... I'm 22, I get real depressed and anxious about things like relationships and life in general.... Do you guys know, or are you someone who had a hard time coping with life as a young adult...are you better now?
Thanks alot guys.

I remember a spinning top that had a tulip inside- as you spun it faster,the tulip opened to reveal a ballerina.

I was just wondering.

all the folks are (seemingly) gone!
what I like about this section of YA is that we ask nice, friendly innocuous questions, and for the most part we answer in kind. I was thinking, if I asked what's your favorite ANYTHING on another section I'd get a whole bunch of mean, smarta**ed answers, then I'd go to bed feeling sulky.
I've been to some of the other sections; I've even participated in some, but I always come back here.
so where is everybody??
