Cultures & Groups - 13 December 2007

I asked a second ago about us uplifting ourselves as a black people.

I said that we need to learn to love eachother and support one another and that we may be the source of our problems now.

I said we may be keeping ourselves down now. I said that we can overcome whatever is thrown at us but we have to look within ourselves.

I was reported! Am I doing something wrong? Are my questions hitting a nerve? OMG I thought this was section to talk about things that affect cultural groups.

I wanted to ask people good questions and not things like "Am I White?" or "Why do they stink?"

I want to know if I am making people mad or something-If I am stepping on toes I would like to know why.

Does it seem that teenagers on this forum have very strong opinions. Many seem to be closed minded and racist and think they actually know something, when they probably never have read a book in their lives. I doubt that I was unique when I was 17. I realized then, as today, I don't know very much and and need to read everything I can in order to make up a valid opinion. How can teenagers know so much when they spend so much time playing video games rather than reading. This gets frustrating when I put so much effort into answering and get 14 "thumbs down" because I don't agree with what they believe to be true about the subject being debated.

I once taught Holocaust studies and ran into the same problem. The 16 year olds had very strong opinions with no facts to back them up. I figured that they had heard these things from someone else and just adopted them as their own.

What do you think? Thanks

Scottish Jokes and Quips

The mosquitoes, or Midges, as they are known in Scotland may have caused the jumping that developed into Scottish Country Dancing.

It was a grave matter in the old days in Scotland to hear of anyone, that they had "taken to their bed." It was normally a sign of impending death. The Scottish doctor never loitered by the wayside when he heard these ominous words. One wild October evening, Dr. Findlay got a message from a Perthshire farm that Flora MacDonald, the maid, had "taken to her bed." He knew Flora to be an honest lass, and quickly packed his bag and set out for the farm. He was soon shown to the room where Flora lay.
"Well, Flora," he asked, "what is wrong with you ?"
"I am just as you see me Doctor," was her reply.
Dr. Findlay looked at her tongue, felt her pulse, and surveyed her with an experienced eye. There seemed to be nothing wrong with her. She was a beautiful Scottish woman, apparently in glowing health. At last, in reply to his many searching questions, she blurted out, "It's this way, Doctor, I have not been paid any wages for the past six months, and I am going to stay in bed until I am paid my dues."
To Flora's surprise the doctor slipped off his overcoat and jacket.
"What are you going to, doctor ?" she asked, in alarm.
"Move over Flora, move over. I am going to lay beside you. They haven't paid any bills of mine for the past three years !"

A Slight Stirring
A young man was at a party in Scotland fully dressed in his native kilt, every male there was. He had been dancing with several young ladies, but none of them had really interested him. But, there was one girl who he had noticed that he wanted in the worst way. He was shy however and did not have the nerve to ask. Just as the last song was coming on Jill, the girl he fancied, came over and asked him, "Would you like to dance with me?"

Thoroughly pleased the young man responded, "Aye, how could you tell?"

She responded, "By the gleam in your eye."

After they danced the last dance Jill asked him, "Would you like to walk me home?"

The boy was so pleased he eagerly responded, "Aye, how could you tell?"

She responded, "By the gleam in your eye."

When they reached the girls house she calmly asked him, "Would you like to come in and sleep with me?"

He was so excited, he really was curious this time, "Was it the gleam in my eye?"

Jill responded, "No the wee tilt in your kilt."

Peta is so f***king overrated. I'm sick of peta. They're trying to get everybody to go vegetarian so that world will end sooner. If we were all freaking vegetarian NO one would be in the olympics because they'd all be twigs. Meat makes everything better. For example, football. Football is great. Lol. Plus, all the animals would be overpopulated equaling less crops because the animals are grazing. Is anybody else sick of this crap to?

Walking into the pub, Sandy said to the bartender, "Pour me a stiff one, Donald. I just had another tiff with the little woman."
"Oh yeah," said Donald. "And how did this one end?"
"Well I'll tell you now when it was over," Sandy replied, "herself came to me on her hands and knees, she did."
"You don't say? Now that`s a switch! What did she say?"
She said, "Come out from under that bed, you gutless weasel!

I just want to know-Why do we as Black people always fight eachother?

We have enough problems as a people but then we try to make eachother feel bad.

Why can't we learn to just stick together and help eachother out? We can help eachother to succeed but some people like to tear others down.

It is strange how other culture are towards eachother and we arent that way. Like for instance, some cultures will live in the same house and they will all work and contribute to the success of one another. I am not saying this is always true but I have seen this more than once.

And I grew up in a household that was so negative and destructive. And when I ask a question on here it seems like the same people with so much anger and negativity.

Please dont blast me with racism accusations because I am asking a valid question.
