Cultures & Groups - 25 October 2007

I just recieved an e-mail from a friend stating that people of color have an even # for the fifth digit of their SSN, and white people have an odd # for their fifth digit of their SSN.....so far, from the people I have polled, this is working out to be true. If so, are employers and other persons using the SSN as an indicator of ethnicity for whatever reason they choose?

that the only way they can get any satifaction in life is to demean other people. For the way they think, act, answer questions, ask questions and so on. Trolls can't poke fun at themselves like normal healthy people do, because it makes them look small in their own eyes, therefore they think all people look at them that way. What is your opinion?

I came on this morning to sort of relax the brain from the confusion at learning a new site. I find many of the same faces back here. Is the other just for fun and this just for serious? I'm actually quite a novice at these things.

WHY ARE AMERICAN WOMEN SO SEXIST?!?!?!

They say that we men are the ones who are sexist, but they KNOW that they're just as sexist, and usually more so.

Something you use a lot, or may not use often but wouldn't part with for all the tea in China.

When someone who is straight claims that homosexuality is a choice and yet when discussing his own sexuality says this: >>I can't help that I'm straight. I was born this way. I think I should be treated as equally as anyone else here<<<

Now I don't like to point fingers or anything and I mean no disrespect but isn't this a little bit contradictory? He wants to be treated well and no reason why he shouldn't be treated well, but, if his claim that sexuality is a choice he can not say that he can't help but be straight but not give the same consideration to homosexual orientation.

No offense intended. Just seems to me that if a person constantly says gay is a choice can not in the same breath claim he has no choice but to be straight. Seems to me to be something wrong with this assertation.

here's the thing...
I've come to a conclusion that i may very well be in love....
with my best friend. I'm an 19 yr old girl and havent found anyone like her who makes me laugh, and cry the way she does... when i'm with her i wish i was the guy she's nevere had, and i just want to spend the rest of my life with her.
i've never met anyone like her...she's smart...capable(sp) to have alot of friends but would rather spend time with me...

I know im not gay, cause someday i want someone to hold me in his arms and i want a family and kids...and i very much like what men have :)
what the hell do i do?


ask me if you want me to explain our daily relationship... you'll know why i'm so confused about myself

when we didn't have the technology of today! life was simple and slower, not the rat race we have today.
my daughter is an A grade student, but we live in the North of England, her tutor has advised her not to bother with going on to a Law degree, for there is little chance of a job at the end. This is due to the multitude of students all cramming for the same positions within a Barristers chambers, which there are few, so only the rich get by offers of gifts and meals out.
when I was a kid, and Im only 35, you could get a job anywhere, if you didn't like it you could just change. Now the stress put on the young is astronomical, it is no wonder that so many of them burn out while still young.

I always thought I was reasonably well educated, fairly bright and with a wealth of experience to share with others after spending 62 years on this planet.
How wrong I was! I have just scoured loads of categories (I am on hols after all) to try and be helpful and informative and I cannot come up with anything halfway useful to say! Am I just having a 'Senior Moment' or am I as useless and brain dead as I feel?

What would you buy? I would buy the Jag XJ6 Convertable. No question about it. Or the Merc sports only as a very second choice.
