Madeleine Mccann has been missing from the algarve area in Portugal since May 3rd. Her parents have undergone tremendous scrutiny since and have been accused by many to be somehow involved in a big hoax or worse. Very few people have given specifics just BIG vague accusations. Certainly no one could possibly have planned on this much media attention or public interest. So whaddya all think they did exactly besides the obvious and ruthlessly repeated subject of parental negligence? Obviously this was poorest of judgement... so a hoax or worse? but who would set up something like this in such a way where they COULD BE accused of negligence? Seems they could not possibly have been involved in anything beyond what they have publicly discussed!

How about some petitions for the severest of penalties against convicted pedophiles? NOW! We need an international police that deals specifically with them ..not petitions against loving parents!!

Intercultural/Interracial Dating ???

It's inconceivable for me to understand the issues that still surround intercultural relations?

I was listening to a group of men talk (I don't want to get reported so I want state what they were) and some of the things I heard was incredibly stupid.

Yahoo answers is filled with bashing of these relationships too -- hahaha, but they person puts the question in a form so it doesn't same like they are bashing intercultural/interracial dating.

Why do people still hold reserves? Is there something I'm not getting?

I wondered, because apparently most Americans have never been outside the US. Is it compulsory to learn a foreign language at school like it is in the UK and the rest of Europe, or is it considered not to be necessary?

I just moved to PA and have always love to see the Amish people at their daily routine. Their lives seem to be so simple even though they work so HARD. Do you know anything about "the inside Amish" I know they don't speak much about their lives. I'm just interested in knowing more about them.

If so, state the name and the locality where you live.

I have met 7 different men with the name, "Robert Carl Jones", mostly in the Southwestern US, but I knew one guy with this name who married a neighbor of mine back East.

Most people believe Smith and Jones are the most common surnames. However, Williams may be the most common American surname. Your opinion?

I live in a neighborhood with a lot of blacks.(We are moving soon. Ghetto people came and started messing everything up.) Anyway I am naturally bright in skin color. Not like almost white but kind of like the skin color of video girls. I also do not have the black nappy hair it is soft long and curly. I don't have big lips or a big butt. Everybody says I'm a sellout and I turned on black people because I like Harry potter, like other genres other then rap and I don't look stupid dancing to songs like "jigga juice". I don't curse often and I'm not always fighting or talking about other girls. Nor am I getting into peoples faces. I like white guys and Native American guys. Everybody says I act white because of it. Except for some black people and my white friends.

First of all I`m black, and I think there is alot of racism toward us and others. I personally am not racist toward anyone, and I want to know your opinion.

and then she was like "u dress like...similar to like mexicans" and i was like
FIRST OF ALL
. there is a difference between mexicans and blacks
. thats racist anyways
. i dont dress black...or at least i dont intentionally try to

so my question is...why do ppl think that if u dress a certain way, ur being fake and trying to act a different race?


i might dress kind of ghetto since a lot of my friends are...but its my choice i think i look good...plus its comfortable...but i do dress girly a lot of the time....
but now im really self conscious thanks to her...wat should i do?

No wonder I've been a virgin for so long. I don't feel safe among my neighborhood b.c a bunch of black guys approach me for being a attractive light skinned female, but their style & how they approach me are not appealing at all. They make me uncomfortable. I am biracial. My mom's white & my dads black. I have never had a very great relationship w/ my father b.c I've witness how bad he treated my mom; causing her to be stressed out at times. Plus he'd abused us due to alcoholism & drugs over the years. I don't want to live w/ a man like that & I've noticed almost all black guys are like that. I have had a minium few of black female friends, but if they weren't friends, 85% of the time they quickly become jealous of me. I have had MANY MANY jealous black girls since I started school basically! I had major anxiety/depression since 9 & I soley blame my father, jealousy, & sexual harassment as cause. All three involving blacks. I feel like I don't fit in this culture. So I want to move.

Thinking that all murderers are evil or that clothes make the person.... Why can't they just find out how the person acts or their personality before disliking them or 'naming' them?
