why is it that mulatto's usually call themselves "black" instead of "mulatto"? the term "black" assumes that the individual is *only* black, the same way as the term "white" would assume that the individual is *only* white. the term "mulatto" doesn't leave out the 2 parts. or is "mulatto" politically incorrect, even though its more accurate?

what do you think we can do to improve things for the american mother? i have always felt like people look down on mothers in our culture. sometimes i wonder if thats why people get abortions and dont want to be moms. mothers are not revered. people always assume young mothers want welfare and to eat potatoe chips all day. on the television, i feel they are portrayed as haggard and fat and like their lives are passing by and they long to do other things than to be trapped into being a mother. i have never felt mothers were are respected as i see them being respected in other cultures. however i am happy that a lot of actresses are having babies and still maintaining their careers. thats a positive. what do you think? what do you think we can do to improve things for the american mother?

White have been slaves to according to a good friend of mine. Vikings where captured of the coast of Africa and keep as slaves for generations. They are estimated to have 3% white slaves in Egypt today. They are locked in the house so foreign media will not know about it. I dont know how i feel about it but i can not feel that there is any wrong doing since the whites enslaved far more of blacks. What do you think?

I'd like to know your opinion on being gay. I'm not gay myself, but I just want to know. I am Catholic so everyone tells me being gay is wrong and against God and that it says so in the bible. But then many people say that being gay is totally acceptable and that it's just part of life. I think that Catholics are probably off because while they say in the bible it states God wanted "man and woman" to be together (nothing about man/man, woman/woman) they also say you shouldn't take the bible too literally since it was written long ago. I think we shouldn't discriminate anyone whether they are gay, straight, or bi, and so really I don't care if it's "against God". I even have an uncle thats gay and he's pretty cool. He doesn't dress like a woman or talk high-pitched or any of the stereotypical gay things you see people on tv and movies doing. So what are your views on being gay, whether you're gay or not?

When we see through many channels in TV media, we found 98% of the countries keep their streets and cities very clean! I think they feel their land, like their Home itself!! But, here we never care for our public places, like bus stands, rail way stations, rivers, roads and streets, and keep on throwing all ugliest dirts, and never even feel to remove out any! Even our brothers work in municipalities, not taking much care to sweep and kept clean for this is our Mother land!

My questions is:

WHEN DO WE HAVE SUCH "CIVIC SENSE", AND FEELING AS IT IS OUR MOTHER LAND?
AND, WHEN WILL THE DAY COME TO SEE OUR INDIAN LAND LIKE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND THEIR BEAUTIFUL APPEARANCE?

Being the multi-linguistic, multi-religious and mluti-cultural land, and where, no sort of common interest found among our Indian people, how come the "REAL UNITY" is possible ever?
Here found several religions and several languages, many ethnic groups! If atleast 80% of people belong to a single religion or single language OR ANY KIND OF IDENTITY TO UNITE FOR SOME CAUSE UNDER ONE ROOF, then there will be some binding among people. Where as here, we found numberless segments in the name of RELIGION, LANGUAGE, RACE AND CULTURE. That is why, we found in all the place, a kind of inorderliness, corruptions, arrogance, confusions in the day to day life! We dont have any common interest to unite as one!! THAT IS WHY, EVEN OUR CRICKET PLAYERS DO NOT HAVE ANY "EXCITING EMOTIONAL UNITY" OR INTEREST IN THEIR GAMES, LIKE OUR PAKISTIANI/ AUSTRALIAN PLAYERS, WHO ARE IN SOME WAY 80% BELONG TO SINGLE RELIGION AND SINGLE LANGUAGE!
My question is:
WHAT THEN, THE WAY TO UNITE "INDIANS" AS ONE?

You both go to mosques and worship Allah, Mohammed is your prophet, you answer the call to prayers several times a day and prostrate yourselves toward Mecca, you live by the Quran, and you require women to cover themselves in public. So why in the name of God are you killing one another???

I have always been a good citizen, but recently I went to work for a guy to help run a business. I did not find out til it was to late that he was being watched by the local authorities for drug charges. I have now been thrown in the middle of it all and honestly had nothing to do with anything illegal. I have been reading up about the masons for some time now, well since my twins were born and I found out about all the good things the masons do and give. I have not been convicted of anything, but it is still in court. Will this keep me from being able to be a mason? I am against drugs, and now I am being looked upon as a possible drug dealer. I hope true people can honestly see the truth.

The number of Muslims being killed now apperars to be growing on a daily basis. Even the US and British troops in Iraq don't seem to be able to kill as many Muslims as the Muslims themselves.
I believe that Saddam Husseim was the person who was able to put a lid on that killer instinct.
The invasion of Iraq removed that lid and allowed all that smoldering hatred to spew off .
