I speak as an 'Englishman'. Why is their ambition, intellect, open-mindedness and warmth often so small? Why are we regarded as animal lovers when we have massive cases of animal cruelty? Why are we regarded as a youthful, trendy country when we have one of the oldest populations in Europe? Why are we so incompetent in nearly everything we try to do? Why are we always proud of it? Why do we cheer the loser when we should be encouraging winners? Why are we so pathetic?

I mean if we don't want them to ask questions then maybe we should not have "grown up" conversations around them all the time. I realize that sometimes it can get on our nerves but how the heck are they suppossed to learn if they don't ask?

I personally don't get why people are racist. If someone is an idiot, they are an idiot because of their upbringing and social background, not because of their colour.
Those who strap bombs to their waste and want to wipe out the jews/christians aren't like that because they are middle eastern, they're like that because it's what they have been taught.

When I see someone, black, white, pink, yellow, blue, orange it doesn't make a jot of difference to me...

I went to Kenya and they must have been the friendliest people I've ever met - them and the Fijians (who are black and Indian).

Africa is the cradle of life - it's where it all began!

ok. i'm 25, and i still don't feel like an "adult". i have all the traditional adult responsibilities, but see being "grown up" as so far away! Is it because it is hard to see yourself in the present?

any ideas?

Are they a waste of skin or not! All they are is trouble makers that have nothing better to do than make other lives miserable. What do you think?

Sports, entertainment, business,... anything.
Examples: you gotta give 110%, there's no "i" in team, 24/7, this feature is 'compelling', etc.

I have a soon to be 8yr old daughter that I am very honest with. If she ask a question I will give her an honest answer. I also have taught her a few curse words which she will only use around me because in the long run, she will hear them anyways.

I hear a lot of parents lie to their children and shelter them from the real world which one day they will face so I figure I'm just giving her a head start into how cruel and ugly the world can be but also how rewarding life can be with honesty and not being afraid to simply ask someone a question if you desire an answer or want more sprinkles on your ice cream.

Anyone else teaching their children about the real world?
