I believe that BRAIDS are WAY MORE MANAGABLE THAN ANYTHING!!! I can go anywhere with them, I can swim, walk in the rain and do anything with them and they don't mess up, Not to mention YOU DON'T HAVE TO COMB YOUR HAIR, you can get up, put on hair spray AND GO.

BTW
Let me add that BLACK WOMEN aren't the only ones that use hair straighteners, Latinos, Arabs and white people do as well.

Many older workers are the first to go when a company downsizes and jobs are cut. It's tough to find a comparible position with adequate pay and benefits. A friend of mine went from being a company executive to a job in the sporting goods section at Wal-Mart. It was the best job he could find with health insurance benefits. I know he's not the only one with this type of experience. What's going on in this country?

and that african americans should be able to mary who they want, vote, get tax benefits, have children, get estate benefits, get hospital visitation rights for their spouce, get decision making rights for their spouce. Very few people would dissagree with this correct? And that it is inhumane, unjust and wrong to deny them these benefits based upon their color?

Why is it still acceptable to deny these rights to Homosexuals. They are our brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends. They work in every business but still struggle for the same benefits that everyone else enjoyes and takes for granted. Why is this acceptable?

I was reading a book that sparked the question and just wanted to see some other opinions because if you really think about it, you sacrifice something for complete freedom... So does that make us slaves?

Every time I ask someone why they relax their hair, they tell me "Oh, because it's more manageable."

Really?

Last I checked:

-Retouches have to be done every 4-6 weeks and cost $30-$65 depending on where you go
-You can't get your hair wet at all, and if you do, you have to spend a hefty amount of time getting it "straight" again
-After washing the hair, you have to condition it and waste precious time under the hair dryer so that the conditioner sets well
-You have to wrap your hair every night to prevent breakage and such

Not to mention the damage that the dangerous chemicals in relaxers have on the hair that:
-Prevent it from growing
-Damage the scalp
-Result in hair scalp
-Thin the hair
-Smell effin' horrible

Now, ladies, what gives?

We've been thinking about looking into getting a Carer/Home Help because we are both registered disabled and are finding certain things very difficult to do at the moment. does anyone get this sort of help and what can they do or aren't allowed to do? Also, how much does it cost? We're on some benefits...DLA, Industrial Injuries and Income Support. Honest answers please. Thanks in advance. xx

This is referring the Matthew Shepard Act.

He could:
-Sign it into law
- Pocket Veto it, or
- Veto it

If it were to get vetoed, do you think Congress would try and override it?

let me explain. If straight people think we chose our sexuality, that means they chose theirs right? If that's the case then wouldn't that mean they chose to suppress their gay feelings in order to be "regular"?

The U.S. Senate has just passed the Matthew Shepard Act!

HRC supporters sent 350,000 emails, made 30,000 calls to Congress, and wrote over 5,000 letters to local papers. The commitment was inspiring. And even Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) acknowledged the work of the Human Rights Campaign during debate on the Senate floor.

Does anyone else like where this is going? Whats your opinions on it?

Like they do to this one using christianity:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,298277,00.html
If it is not intended as a direct assault on christianity why don't they throw other religious rigures in the promo? Islam is as much against homosexuality as is christianity, so why the hypocrisy?

While they were growing up.

We had timeshare, so used to use that, and had a caravan, and did a lot of windsurfing.

It was always a good inexpensive holiday. I don't like having to go to hotels, where you are expected to dress up. And Club Med, are not for me. We did go to a lot of Islands off the coast of Africa, but they were much less formal.

You could go to dinner inn your bikini top and a pareo or shorts.

But now, I think it is time to find a partner. Alone too long. maybe I should go to club Med? But they may all be too young. LOL
