a lil pissed bout the things worked at my skool...based on the way things work at my school of course, why are latina, white, and asian girls only thought of to be the pretty ones? i dont get it. my friend is pretty and shes egyptian (she rather be considered black tho; guys call her ugly beast and things like that...) why cant there be such thing as a pretty black girl??? someone said that 2 my sis and she wasnt too happy bout that (shes looks mixed, which doesnt settle to easily with me because if she was more brown skin im not sure the guy wouldve said that 2 her...) my point here is that how come the guys at my school dismiss the black girls as being pretty and make every other race beautiful? are we not good enuff? whats up with this?? i try 2 ignore things like this but im just a lil pissed....

In 2 days I go cold turkey. This is going to suck as I smoke about a pack a day and am a very obsessive person. What did you do to avoid temptation and get cigarettes off your mind?

K, I lived in NY with my dad until He had to start going out of town a lot, so I had to move to freaking hillbilly town bristol, tennessee, with my grandmother, I am a 13 year old Italian-American NY girl, I don't like to run around and play or watch cartoons nor am I girly. and every girl in my middle school is girly and all the kids are still little in the head they just don't want to grow up! I have always liked the Italian-American tough attitude, my Favorite people in the world being the man who organized organized crime Lucky Luciano, Frank castello, al Capone, John gotti, and so on. I mean it seems like all these kids like to do is watch cartoons, anime, and run around outside and play, where is I like to sit and play cards, and more quiet things, all of them running around like that just aggravates me to no end, I am surrounded by a bunch of rednecked kids who makefun of my accent and call me a Yankee, and Gino! I just can't get along or stand these kids! what should i do?

I am not Mexican, and don't look like one. I have learned to say I am, because it's just a name. So my question is, why can't we just live without a color code name and without a voice label, what is the big issue to that? As if it is a crime to be breathing here on this earth and have a label on ourselves. For all us grown up's, if we want a better world, let's all educate ourselves before we bring chidren into this world, and create a bad system for them. After all, children learn what they see and hear at home. I see ourselves in our children, because many have a failure system set up for tomorrows generation. If I am wrong, I am sorry. It's everywhere we see the wrong doing of generation's passed on from ignorance. Break out of the old into the new, and let's just become better citizens, and stop acting superior when your just another number.

The result in our system unfolds when our children are in trouble for what has been passed on to them, because they look up to us.

... on the question that was posted earlier today on http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjefZFeC95cTs7Md8Un1Y9tbLxV.;_ylv=3?qid=20070928062137AAkAkI4

Now my question is should we Africans stop calling ourselves black because other peoples from the Carribean and the United States call themselves black sometimes? And what do I answer people who categorise me as black in the country where I live? Are people like Oprah Winfrey and Stevie Wonder wrong for visiting Africa? What about the small number of Jamaicans that have settled in Ethiopia? What's your take on that? And lastly my parents'/our neighbour in Africa who is an African American (who comes and goes)? Is he totally crazy for coming? What do you want to be called? And I'm asking you because others might have difficulty in not mixing politics and hidden agendas in this question.

Why can't a Black Man just stand for peace for EVERY nation, and not be considered a traitor?

I have noticed a lot of people on here from the UK, and was wondering what percentage are from the US and so on. Maybe it is just me but I think Americans could be the minority on here. Tell me what you think....Most creative/informative/funny will get best answer.

I would say, for against the british, Buddhists are.

I know there are exceptions (like the anti-war protests in the uk)

If you look at the IRA, or the Islamic fundamentalists, we only gave them their country back after they stopped being such naughty little cry babies and stopped bombing us. But look at ghandi in india or hong kong...they are some of the most strongest economies on theplanet and they will beat us all now, not a shot fired. We gave them their countries back happily and stayed friends and all the better for it, the uk respect decency and honour.

My point is, if muslim societies cound manage a peacefull protest between them (yes I know bad apples blahblah), then they would have the symapathy of the world, like the Bhurmese monks, and we wouldn't all vaguely dislike or mistrust them. (not that I do, but as a pacifist, it's hard to feel sympathy for those who attack the west despite guantanamo or Iraq)

Where you live, when people see it, they feel welcome? Or they say, "don't go near THAT place!"

Mine says "Go Away!" after we got broke into, we put an alarm system, bars on windows, motion detectors outside all doors, and 8 cameras! Now the thieves (teen boys) try a new tactic; they knock on our door with a clipboard in their hand. We have a pa system so we do not have to actually open the door, but when we see them standing there (on the monitor), we don't even bother to answer the door!

Amazingly, when we were installing the cameras, one teenager boy parked across the street from our home, angry, watching us install the cameras. The police said that they would be back! These THEVES feel they had the "right" go to back in a month later and steal what we replaced, again! WHAT NERVE!

Go Away! And we mean it!!

i read this article here ( http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article2549404.ece?token=null&offset=12) and it says that monks are not allowed to keep or store food. is this due to their religion, or to the government? or something else?

It's a free for all regarding our personal, political, social and religious beliefs. Do other countries such as Iran have something comparable? I surely would like to ask some of the questions and supply answers to questions asked in this forum to the Ayatolahs and president of Iran, and other suppressive countries such as Cuba, burma, China and such. Yet we take this basic freedom forgranted.

Looking for others who are polygamist or are interested to discuss pros and cons about this lifestyle.

I have been married to my husband for two years now, been together four. Never did either of us think he would ever fall inlove with another woman. Yet three months ago, it happend. I was at first very upset and hurt, and I guess I still am. The fact he didnt tell me before he had decided to do something was the worst part of it all. I have since accepted what has been happening. and cant really bring myself to leave him. I see he does love this woman, but also loves me at the same time.
We have been discussing the possibility of the three of us moving in together, and bringing our families under one roof, alot because we see no point in having to spend the money to go the 60 miles back and forth to see eachother.
I would like to find others who are also interested or in this type of relationship to give me some feedback on how life is, and if its worth it. Thank you.

Jena 6 I just don't understand why this is racist on the white people's side, when a six black wanna be thugs gang up on 1 white dude and leave him bloody and unconcious. All six should face the maximum time in jail. I get tired of blacks these days because all they do is complain about racism and all that bull . If stuff doesnt go their way they need to find a way to get attention toward themselves and claim racism. Seriously how are you going to call this racist on white people? Who cares if someone put a noose on a tree. Did this noose hurt anybody as bad as the gang beating the kid took. Think about it don't be stupid everyone knows these six people should be in jail for the maximum. Give it a couple of years and you will see these six wanna be thuggers in the news again for commiting a crime.

What kind of characteristics turn you off from a person? I don't want to hear about skin color, ethnicity, etc. Me, for example, I dislike ignorance.
