Other - Cultures & Groups - December 2006

Statistics and incidents worldwide would suggest that indigineous populations are subjected to unfair treatment and discrimination. The natives in North and South America, the aboriginees in Oceania, and even Africans under colonization. While persecution seems to have disappeared in the last 50 years, there exists higher crime rates, drug/alcohol abuse and lower incomes in these communities. Are the societies inherently discriminatory and eurocentric or have the native populations failed to adapt? Should they have to?

I am told I have a high degree of general knowledge. No difference to the rest of my family. We are all baby boomers. My children appear to be similar relative to their ages, 20 to 31yrs old.
Why then do I see such a large gap in many of society today. Just take a look at the questions in this forum from around the world.
Is it because we have become a culture of specialists and focus on such a small portion of life that we don't have time to learn.
Maybe we only have a very narrow window through main stream media for our general knowledge, or is it as a culture we are just not interested in gaining knowledge that is outside of what we are fed...

What part of the constitution do you think gives anyone the right to not be offended?

Why do we have so many laws governing behavior in a free country?

Why do people not tolerate the behavior in others that they themselves display?

How do you know when the majority is correct in a society so set on preserving the interests of the minority?

Wouldn't an imposition by any majority be seen as an act of ---ism?

Basically, at what level of behavior should the government be allowed to assert control of the public?

How should those decisions be made? By who?

Final.... would you be willing to live with a law that was voted on by popular referrundum nation wide if your side lost? How long would that good sportsmanship last before you strated trying to change the result?

What is talking black or white? Is it true that black people have our own accents or vernacular? If you are black, have you been ever accused of talking white, or if you're white, have you ever been accused of talking black?

Okay, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I support early pregnancy abortion, because personally I don't. BUT I want to know from Pro-Lifers as well as those who are Pro-choice. Do you believe that partial-birth abortion is murder?
