When she cuts her hair REALLY short, she still looks feminine (think Halle Berry, Charlize Theron in some roles like Astronaut's wife and Sweet November). If she cuts her hair real short and is no longer attractive, not manly looking maybe but just plain and not pretty, then that means she was never truly pretty to begin with.

I told him that that's like saying blacks should stop complaining about slavery, and he said it's ok for them because slavery was worse. I think that its stupid to accuse anyone of complaining about something horrible that happened and its stupid to compare them, but what can i say to him to make him stop acting like a bigot?

I took 7 french classes in highschool, I've always wanted to go. I remember my french teacher telling me I would be treated rudely by many while I was there. Since then I have gone to the beautiful Canada, to see snow for my 1st time, I was excited. I got to vancouver and walked into a restaurant and asked politely if they take my american dollar as I hadn't had chance to exchange. The guy told me "yeah, we take your BLOOD money." I live in Orlando, in a part that has a lot of latino culture. I love their food, I admire their sense of family. Rarely have I been treated nicely by any of these groups, I am not rude, I don't judge people. My trip to canada was awful as I was consistently being labeled "american" like its a disease. I'm 24, I'm a kind person, why can't I be treated as such? I had to have been born somewhere, it happened to be florida. I treat people on an individual basis, latinos/canadians/middleastern/3rd gen Floridians. All the same. Why be nasty because I am american?

Just curious. I see all these questions and comments about race racial classifications and have to wonder what they'd say about me. I'm American and my ancestors came from all the British Isles, Azores, Germany, possibly France, possibly some Dutch or Netherlands in there, and Norway. I speak English.
So what race am I and what ETHNIC group am I?
Just curious about your opinion.

Parents who refused to take responsibility for their children's underage drinking should have their children taken into care, a police chief has said.

The Chief Constable of Cheshire Police Peter Fahy was speaking one week after Warrington father-of-three Garry Newlove was allegedly attacked by a gang outside his home.

Mr Newlove, 47, died of his injuries on Sunday afternoon. Three teenagers are in custody and have been charged with murder.

Mr Fahy said: "There should be some form of sanction from the criminal justice system to force some parents to take up the offers of support which we give them to help them deal with their children who have been underage drinking. This should be a child protection issue and this should be dealt with as part of care proceedings."

Mr Fahy said that often when his officers take drunken teenagers home, parents are shocked, occasionally they do not care, and sometimes they are drunk themselves.

The stock market has been very shaky as of late, & we have a huge illegal immigration problem.And it looks like we're going to lose the Iraq War.Lets face it the United States is going down hill & fast.So maybe it's time that White Americans should go back to Europe, the land of our ancestors.

I mean alcoholic btw
Normally when i go out with friends we get a bottle of vodka, and then mix it with fanta, cherryade or coke if we have enough money, or sometimes WKD or Smirnoff
if we dont have alot we normally pile our coppers together to get 2 litre Somerfield Value Cider for £1.26, but it is literally industrial waste mixed with horse p1ss
what is your favourite drink? any recommendations on price and/or taste?

I ONLY date white men to make the racists angry. I am a mixed Brazilian and I know they are angry and consider my date a traitor. I will marry a pure white man just to make them cry.

I saw on wikipedia that light coloured eyes reflect more light or something, or absorb it cant remember, and dark eyes do the opposite
does this mean that in dark conditions it is easier for blue eyed people to see in the dark, which is why it is more common in northern areas like Britain and Scandinavia, where the winters are long and dark [even thought brown and blue eyes are both found, blue is more common here]
and people with more common dark eyes such as in Africa can reflect the hot, bright sun, as it is near the equator, and also is out for longer in the year?
