You can mention names or not.......Example: Wally intrigues me by his sense of humor and even though his life is not easy, he doesn't let it show or get him down.....There are so many for me....The thoughtfulness of everyone one on here......I could name something about everyone......You can name a person or as whole Group........

I am an American who has done alot of international traveling. I notice one thing for sure in every single country I have visited and lived in; White ppl from all over have a very arrogant ethnocentric attitude.
In the USA its obvious to any American, all over Africa Europeans demand 1st class status, and have forcibly put the native ppl in a 2nd class, in Australia the aborigines have been displaced, and are in a constant struggle for simple human rights on their own land. I currently live in the UAE, and I always hear white europeans say things like, 'the natives need to change their culture', and that "we (the europeans) need to be given citizenship", and all the benefits that come with it but have no respect for the ppl of this country and their way of life, and are not shy about saying it. I find it quite perplexing and crazy. Is this something that is taught from generation to generation, or is it just how you think? Please do not respond out of emotion, I really want to know

Three men were discussing aging at the nursing home.

"Sixty is the worst age to be," said the 60-year-old. You always feel like you have to pee. And most of the time, you stand at the toilet and nothing comes out!"

"Ah, that's nothin'," said the 70-year-old. "When you're seventy, you can't even crap anymore. You take laxatives, eat bran, you sit on the toilet all day and nothin' comes out!"

"Actually," said the 80-year-old, "Eighty is the worst age of all."

"Do you have trouble peeing too?" asked the 60-year- old.

"No, not really. I pee every morning at 6:00. I pee like a racehorse on a flat rock; no problem at all."

"Do you have trouble crapping?" "No, I crap every morning at 6:30."

With great exasperation, the 60-year-old said, "Let me get this straight. You pee every morning at 6:00 and crap every morning at 6:30. So what's so tough about being 80?"

"I don't wake up until 7:00."

Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully she explained, "It's the druggist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone. I had to call multiple times before he would even answer the phone."

Immediately, the husband drove downtown to confront the druggist and
demand an apology.

Before he could say more than a word or two, the druggist told him, “Now, just a minute, listen to my side of the story. This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. Because of the my tardiness I skipped breakfast as I hurried out to my car, that's when I realized that I had locked the house with both house and car keys inside the house. Therefore, I had to break a window to get my keys. Then, driving a little too fast, I was awarded a speeding ticket. Later, when I was about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire. When I finally arrived at the store a bunch of people was waiting for me to open up.

I opened the store and began waiting on customers, all the time the darn phone was ringing off the hook. At this point, I had to break a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I got down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels and the phone was still ringing. When I raised up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which caused me to stagger backwards into a perfume showcase holding several bottles of perfume. Half of the bottles fell to the floor and broke.

Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got back to answer it. It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer.


....And believe me mister, God as my witness, all I did was answer
her question.
