Other - Cultures & Groups - December 2006

I'm backpacking and in a rather remote bit of Sumatra with a laptop and a basic toolkit (pliers, screwdrivers, etc),and have a tooth abcess. Obvously it needs to come out;I think molars have two roots which I could get the screwdriver under, to lever-is this right?Are the roots front to back, or side to side, so I know where to 'dig'?

Mine is a person who puts all there self worth on there appearance! They do not delevope humanity.They are shallow not able to see beyond there mirror.They do not feel they are valuable to other people unless they are showing skin.When they are forced to cover up due to cold weather they feel invisable.They are saying to you when you see them exposing body parts"This is all I am and have to offer, notice me" Sad thing is they forget we all age and they will have nothing to offer or skate by on.And where will that leave them? In a very lonely sad place.

Peoples in countries of Deccan (countries like India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, etc.) have same hair color(black) but different skin color(light brown or brown or dark brown). But in the western developed countries, people have same type of skin color (white or black) but different hair colors (yellow, black ,white, etc.)
WHY IS IT SO ?

I'm no racist and hold nothing against any ethnic group. But when you're on the phone, or hear people call into a radio show or something, you can't always tell if someone "sounds white," but you can almost always tell if someone "sounds black." Why is that?
It's almost like a slight Southern drawl, but it seems to fit all over the country.

BTW, I mean to offend no one, but if you claim you haven't noticed this, you're either lying or ignorant.

i asked why filipino get defensive and offended by bringing up the issue of poverty, young girl prostitution and nude webcam girls, parents without jobs having 5 kids without support for education.


some respones are well thought out. thank you
BUT SOME IDIOTS think they're smart.. and comment like...

Philippines is not the only poor country with these problems.. OR
the spanish and US colonizers are at fault.... and still accuse me of being racist... can an asian be racist against other asians?

Dont answer me if u don't have anything useful to say...
******* PLEASE.

Philippines is not the only poor country.. but that doesn't mean the issue should not be brought up about philippines... if you're country is singled out .. SO WHAT ... DEAL WITH IT

ALSO, when the US was in phils. is was experiencing high economic growth and low inflation. AFTER INDEPENDENCE, and the since the Marcos regime onwards... YOUR COUNTRY WENT TO HELL.
SO everyone who doesn't have a clue.. SHUT UP

My in-laws are Latino, and here's something I noticed. Every year..the women all prepare the meal..and the women serve it, and clean it up after the men..and the men all just go and sit somewhere to relax. Sometimes the women wait until the men are done eating to eat themselves. Is this specifically related to the Latino culture in some way?

I mean if this were a male teacher having sex with a female student the guy would be labled a pedophile and get hard time in jail but if a woman's doing it all she gets is at the most her liscense revoked and probation. Maybe some jail time but not the same as a man would get. You don't need physical upper body strength to have sex with a student whether it's male or female. I can't believe most people today think it's perfectly ok for a female teacher to have sex with male students or even turn it around and say the female teacher is a victim because she is a woman. It just seems to me like society is saying this:"If your a man and you have sex with a female student your a pedophile and are going to be in jail for a long time but if your a female and havng sex with a male student your a victim and therefore aren't held accountable for your actions because your a woman". I mean where is the fairness in this whole thing? How is the female teacher any less a pedophile than a man?
