There was an 8 year old black girl who was kidnapped around the same time Elizabeth Smart was. The 8 year old chewed her way out of the ropes and made and it back home. It's sad how this little girl did not get as much media attention as Elzabeth Smart. This little girl actually had more reasoning skills and bravery than Smart ( a teenager). It's really sad because I don't even know this little girl's name, but if I did, I would certainly laud her (for she is the one who's actually SMART). I'm not trying to sound mean, but Smart was on Oprah and several other shows getting attention; whereas this gallant little black girl received none. Just another sign of how racist the media is. Black kidnappings receive little or no attention; however, if a white person is kidnapped, it's going to be on the 12, 5, 6, and 10 o'clock news as well as on CNN, Newsweek, and etc. When will America change its ways?

I was watching the news some time ago and saw black people alongside the minutemen joining forces to stop immigration. Why is that????? Weren't they opressed more than hispanics to be acting like they're on top of the society ladder?? That makes me mad,the ones that are joining the minutemen movement. Any reasonable answers?

I was sitting on the bus with my boyfriend and we where talking about marriage and weddings. I was telling him that I would get married a few years after college and graduate school and I would only have children in my marriage. And this girl who was sitting beside me said," That's stupid, why would you get married and then have kids? Why don't you just get pregant and tell the governmnet that you don't know where the father of you're baby is and get on welfare? Why would you get married? Men come and why the hell would you go to college?You sound like one of those white girls. Why are you so into books and learning?" I was so mad at this and so was my sweetie. He

Around two years back, I dated an Indian girl from Kerala. She was here in Taiwan, and at my school, because her parents were doing business here. It was actually HER who chased after me. Well... everything soon became HELL, and it wasn't her fault or my fault at all.

So whose fault was it? Her culture's and her family's.

Honestly, I never found anyone more irritating than her parents...
1. They'd call the girl's cellphone every 5 minutes when we were on dates.
2. They'd seek to shorten our dates by always "coincidentally" scheduling doctor's appointments or family dinners just one hour after our dates began.
3. They suspected me at every turn; no, they never confronted me directly, but they gave their own daughter a hard time about it...

Honestly, if they were opposed to our relationship, then they should have COME RIGHT OUT with their opposition. But nooo, they beat around the bush....

Some cultures are just not suited for that type of governemment. Our idea that happiness of owning two cars and an HDTV is really not the things that other people's foremost desires. Our (US) style of democracy will only work for us Americans - because we are diversified with the right combination of cultures, and because we have the resources and the right environment to practice that type lifestyle.

Ive known lots of people that love to put a unique design on their bodies something they can cherish and to show off their personality and thats cool but at the same time i like a girl more without these things and if it was a girl i would love her just as much if she didnt have anything on her. Why sacrifice pain and blood for permanent art? Diamonds are much more valuble and last even longer than a human life. And jewelry has unlimited designs. Girls why cant i look at your personality, and admire its beauty? And thats without any apperance inhancers.

If you don't really know much about America, generalizing and insulting is a sign of poor self esteem or jealousy. Have you ever lived in America? Perhaps you should come see how great it is to live here before you talk bad about this country.
