With the size of the universe beyond our thought, and the historical succes of previos species, and with the threat of future existance I am concerned that humans are going to start feeling down and insignificant. Do people feel that we have a lasting footprint to aim for, or are we just a flash in the pan?

Turks characteristically shun propaganda, and have chosen not to dwell on the tragedies of the past, forging ahead to build upon brotherhood — not hate. This is why the horrifying massacres committed upon the Turks, Kurds and other Ottoman Muslims by Armenians have seldom been heard. When such reports are heard, Westerners can be callously dismissive... Turkish lives are apparently as meaningless to them as Indian lives were to most early Americans.It's amazing that whenever the "Armenian Genocide" is referred to in Western media, journalists seem to fall all over themselves in presenting the perspective totally from the Armenian propaganda machinery. Whenever there is an attempt to present "the other side," the passage is usually preceded by "The Turkish Government claims..."

I mean really, for the most part I’m imperfect, (JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!) but just because I don’t have premarital sex I’m labeled as a prude. I mean I lie, I swear, I don't think I'm better than anyone, but just because I have morals, it’s prudish? Lol, people are sooo funny....I just laugh at them...No one walking this earth surface is perfect and I know that....

In light of the horrific racist attack on a Glasgow teenager, some political groups are claiming that racist attacks on white people are far greater than the establishment and the media would have us believe. Is this true or is it simply a case of 'political manipulation' of the facts?

Suppose you are passing through a dangerous jungle. You hear the sounds of beasts. View a snake moving in front of you. The surroundings make you feel that your life is in danger. You become alert and start running fast. While running a thorn prick in your foot you scream and at once hold back your foot, remove the thorn and start running again.

After running fifteen to twenty minutes you reach the main road and catch a bus passing on the road. You feel that you are out of danger now. You start feeling relax and calm.

Bulgarians, Greeks, Romanians, and Serbians are mainly dark. Half of the population has skin pigment ranging from light brown to olive. Than the other half of the population have pinkish white skin of Central Europe. Why is it the half that are mainly dark are considered to be of the caucasian (white) race? I don't seem to understand all this.

I know there are common Jewish surnames, but I can't differentiate them between the rest. What are the common Jewish surnames? How do you distinguish between Jewish and non-Jewish surnames? Sorry if I sound a bit racist, just curious.

like as if its a color code...

caucasians - white
african-americans - black
mexicans/latinos - brown
asians - yellow
native americans - red

isnt it kind of ironic to say those colors instead of their ethnicities?

By good conversation, I mean: where are they politically, religiously, spiritually, emotionally? What are their goals and ambitions? Where are they on the marriage issue, equal rights, adoption? Are they involved in charity work? What sort of job do they have? How do they get along with their family? Where are they from originally? What was it like going to school for them? What sort of educationm do they have? Listen and observe, you might be shocked to discover they're just like you. (Well almost.)

In light of tendencies for some white people to be racist, what do you think of the growing population of Latin Americans? Do you share the same comraderie with Latinos/Hispanics as you do with your African American friends, or do you even perhaps feel hostility towards them? Or something else?
The first time I wrote this question, I think it may have been misunderstood. I didn't mean for it to be offensive at all. I'll give an example of what I'm trying to convey:
I once had a conversation with a man who identified himself as African American who explained that he felt a sort of comraderieship with Latinos that he didn't feel with typical Caucasian Americans because both ethnicities are commonly discriminated against. In contrast, I once met another African American who told me she thought Hispanics needed to go back home and then aftern naming some reasons why said she felt no more welcome among a group of Hispanics as around whites. I was wondering what the consensus opinion was.

On tv, we see married couples in twin beds, but was that actually commonplace, or was that just so that viewers would not be offended? (silly viewers)
