Other - Cultures & Groups - October 2006

Is it that our ideas are really pathetically out of date, or is it because we just can't figure out which hole to stick it in?

My favorite place is Walmart...kidding of course. I really like Peet's Coffee and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Starbucks was ok until it all the vagabonds showed up.

Yes, I am still talking about crime and race. The staticstis out there, are they really reliable? Who does the studies? Can these studies be fudged to make black men especially look bad? I mean, who says that there isn't a neutral party doing these studies? Also, is racism still going on in the crime category? Are black people more likely to be caught commiting crimes?

Alcoholics Anonymous and the American Medical Association claim that addictions to alcohol and other drugs is a disease. Just the other day, I was found drunk in public and arrested and taken to jail. Today, I was arraigned in court and, in defense, I told the judge that my drunken behaviour was a symptom of my "disease"; and I am was powerless over my disease. The judge slammed his gavel and said, "30 days in jail!"

So much for the disease concept of drug addiction!

Maybe Jesus or an AA doorknob will save me.

Clancy to the rescue?

Baaaarrrrrrfffffff

Don't get me wrong, i have nothing against adoption. I was adopted. But, what do you feel about this latest news of Madonna adopting a child from Africa? Coincidence, does this come as a surprise that it is now popular to adopte children out of Africa? Are we going to see similiar celebrity's jump on the adopted bandwagon? There are plenty of children to be adopted here in the US, why not here?

Can young men with mental illnesses join the Freemasons? What about if they attempted suicide when they were teenagers? Does that go against the 'unsullied reputation' requirement, or is the Masons more lenient with that kind of thing?

I mean how many were really born in Africa? How about their parents or grandparents? Probably not born there either. Everybody has hertiage elsewhere but it seems we only need to recognize the black peoples backround.

The "N" word who can use it? and how is it used appropriately? I am a middle aged white salesman and work in areas where the N word is thrown around all the time. EXCUSE my ignorance,, BUT,, I feel if I ever used it even in jest it would be inappropriate. So my quandry is what EXACTLY does the word represent """NOW"""" and is it appropriate to use it by ANYBODY? and if not ""WHY"" and if so When and WHY? and I do understand in the days of SLAVERY it was DEGRADING and DEMORALIZING! So now why is it NOT ? I am not biggoted I really JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND Thank you in advance

I have met good and bad of all races; and the reality is ~ we are all part of the human race. Do you stick with "your own kind" because you have the same interests (music,etc.) or do you invite diversity in your friendship with others?

I mean, aren't they of European decent, just like white Americans?

No one would say hating Britons, Germans, or French is racist (it may be stupid or hateful or whatever, but not racist). What about Mexicans? Hispanics in general?

And don't blast me, I DO NOT HATE MEXICANS, but I think it is a valid, honest question...

I used the term ''Black Person'' when describing a black person. I was then told i should not use this term as it is politicaly incorrect and i should use the term ''Coloured person''. I have tried to explain that this is not incorrect and merely describes the colour of someone. I have also tried to explain that blacks are not the same as coloureds. can anybody help me put this to bed please.
