Most of the country is either out partying
or in bed, so I figure I can let it all hang
out and say what I want now.
Since Seniors is getting kinda boring,
I guess I will spice and dice it up a bit.
So what you all say to a cruise to the
Bahamas? Or Mazatlan? I still have some space on my cc. Please tell me
where we all want to go. People are
always telling me where to go, but I
mean on a sea voyage???

It's heart wrenching, went to one today. A friend of ours daughter (mother of 3 teens) was killed in Iraq Nov. 5. I can't tell you how angry I am at the Pres. and how selfishly fortunate I feel my son came back alive.

When they performed the 21 gun salute and played taps I had to hum a song to myself in my head so I wouldn't break down...so awful.

So...if you have been...your thoughts on a military honor funeral?

So theres this white dude at my school. Hes nuts.
He wears braids in his hair, talks ghetto and acts ghetto. Says he grew up in the hood, and he doesnt like white people at all.

On his myspace page theres this big disclaimer basically proving how black he is.
He has tried to talk to me on several occasions but I feel like hes putting on an act and thats not really him. I mean come on...how can you say you dont like your own race?
Should I tell him to stop acting this way or do you think that thats just the way he is and I need to accept it?
He doesnt seem like hes being true to himself.
He has gone overboard with the whole being black thing! lol

About as dumb as being a racist is HATING your own race. Elise, with your blonde hair and blue eyes, I guess you must have some sort of Caucasian blood... Who taught you that was bad? Guess what, sweetie, EVERY RACE HAS COMMITTED ATROCITY, some more recent than others, some get more press than others. There are MANY reasons to be proud of your heritage. I think self hate CAUSES prejudice against others. Wasn't Hitler part Jewish?

I'm gay myself so this isn't a homophobic thread or anything. I know being direct and ask someone straight up is the best policy, but sometimes that's hard to do, especially when you're working at a place like Best Buy.

Anyways, there is a guy at work, whenever he sees me, he shakes my hand by squeezing it, and if he's far away, he would smile and wave.

EVERY SINGLE TIME!

Don't you think that's just too excessive?

I'm polite and friendly and I wave and say hi too, but not that excessively. He could be a phony, but he could also be gay.

What non-perverted thing can I do to find out about his sexual orientation?

My mother is "black" but from Panama. Actually, her whole family was born and raised in Panama speaking Spanish, but they are all "black".

My father is also "black" and from Jamaica, as is his entire family, but the thing is, his dad i was always told was "black" but he has blonde hair and blue eyes!

So what does this make me? Just "black"? Is anyone really one specific race?

I think the other chick's question was hinting at something a little racist... But for real, we Americans (yeah and we come in a lot of shades, whether you hate whites or blacks or whatever, the terrorists hate ALL OF US) are sitting here letting all these people into our country and we know for a fact that a bunch of them are planning to attack us. Don't know how I got a thumbs down for saying that, unless folks are scared blind. Also, we have a lot of problems with our own country. SO MANY Americans are in poverty and there are limited options, but still we want to let everyone else come here and have a chance. Maybe they forgot history: Rome fell when it was overrun by barbarians. Wouldn't it be smart to say, tough luck, NO MORE VACANCY? Then search out those terrorists who already got in, secure the borders, and take care of our own????

THREE LITTLE FISHES (Fwee Widdo Fiddies)

Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool,
Swam three little fishies and the mama fishy, too.
"Swim!" said the mama fishy, "Swim if you can!"
And they swam and they swam right over the dam.



cho: Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, shoo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, shoo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, shoo
And they swam and they swam all over the dam.



"Stop!" said the mama fishy, "You'll get lost!"
But the three little fishies didn't want to be bossed,
So the three little fishies went out on a spree
And they swam and they swam right out to the sea.

chorus

"Whee!" said the little fishies, "This is fun!
Let's swim and swim 'til the day is done1"
So they swam and they swam, and it was a lark.
Then, all of a sudden, they saw a shark.

chorus

"Help!"cried the little fishies, "Look at all the whales!"
And the three little fishies, they turned onR their tails.
And back to the pool in the meadow

why did people get so upset? As Americans we make fun of all accents and it seems that only certain people are singled out for doing it. For example, I have not yet heard of anyone being upset with The Simpsons for having a very stereotypical Easter Indian on there. (Abu) Also, the American accent as a whole is made fun of overseas. That doesn't really bother me. So, why were people so upset?

My question is based on what is prevailing in most regions in India. Black is also used as a colour to express grief and protest in India. This is an innocent question and I request my brethren in Yahoo Forum not to misconstrue it.
I am dark in complexion and I am proud about it.

think it was recorded by Phil Harris. was about a mounteneer who felt so mighty brave he took his trusty gun and went into a dark dark cave. the reason for his venture was a story that he'd heard about a bad ferocius creature called the jabberwocky bird.
there were several different verses and in the end the ugly jabberwocky became the prettiest of girls. would like to find trhe lyrics and it was recorded on a 78 rpm record.
