The Highlander lay dying in his bed. In death's agony, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite scones wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort forced himself down the stairs, gripping the railing with both hands. With laboured breath, he leaned against the door-frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven: there, spread out upon newspapers on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favourite scones. Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted wife, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man? Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself toward the table, landing on his knees in a rumpled posture. His salivating lips parted; the wondrous taste of the scone was already in his mouth, seemingly bringing him back to life. The aged and withered hand, shaking, made its way to a scone at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked with a spoon by his wife. "Stay out of those!" she snapped. "They're for the funeral."

That holds you in awe for either it's historical or archaeological aspects? Where is it and have you been there or wish to go there?

Did you know that the Nubians ruled Egypt for a number years? The Nubians came from modern day Sudan and they were a Black people. I did a project on this once and my professor said it was a controversial subject. Its controversial because who wants to hear a powerful civilization was run by Blacks?

Some great Egyptians rulers like Queen Tiye and even her son Amehotep had black in them. Amenhotep married Nefertiti.

Black people came from a great roots-we need to rememeber this!

Is there something that you feel strongly about? Your passion, an interest in something or an issue.

A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, extremely sexy middle-aged man entered.

He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off him.The young-at-heart man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her (as all men will.).

Before she could offer her apologies for so rudely staring, he leaned over and whispered to her, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $20.00......on one condition." (There are always conditions)

Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was. The man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words." (Controlling, huh?)

The woman considered his proposition for a moment, then slowly removed a $20 bill from her purse, which she pressed into the man's hand along with her address. She looked deeply into his eyes, and slowly and meaningfully said...

I can't stand him or any of his ideals. I understand being a homophobe, I do, but that does NOT give you the right to be a terrorist too.

Please read fully before you reply.
At least five former presidents of the United States had Black people among their ancestors. If one considers the fact that European men far outnumbered European women during the founding of this country, and that the rape and impregnation of an African female slave was not considered a crime, it is even more surprising that more former presidents could not be documented with having Black ancestors. The president’s names include Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding, and Calvin Coolidge.
The best case for Black ancestry is against Warren G. Harding, our 29th president from 1921 until 1923. Harding himself never denied his ancestry. Black ancestors were identified among both parents of President Harding. Harding's only academic credentials included education at Iberia College, which was founded in order to educate fugitive slaves.
More to come. I just think that it should be recognised in our childrens history books

Before I ask this question I have to assert that I am not homophobic, just curious about this particular aspect of the homosexual lifestyle.

Why do homosexual people find it necessary to announce their sexuality?

For example, I do not find the need to announce to the world I am hetrosexual or that a pub I go to is a hetrosexual pub (simple example, but I hope you get the idea).

Why does it seem, to me, that homosexuals feel the need to announce this.

Personally I do not care about someones orientation, just live your lives.

Explain that double standard to me oh wise vegetarians...................... Death is clearly a part of life; there is no lifeform on earth that does not benefit off of the process of death. Many fungi live off of the flesh off dead carcasses. Animals kill their prey in the wild to survive; do you suggest they go on vegetarian diets? We, as humans, are doing what comes naturally to us.
Also, eating meat greatly expanded the brain size of homosapiens; the added protein gave us extra strength and intelligence. If you look at our teeth, they are clearly omnivorous. Noticed how sharp our back fangs are? Is it not that way for a reason?
