you know it seems like suicide is such a touchy subject, so hopefully im not offending anyone by bringing it up but i have my opinion on the subject and that would be that in certain instances i think its an appropriate and understandable thing to do, my question is why do people so quickly turn to say that suicide is "selfish" or "cowardly" to me it seems like it would be SELFISH to expect a person who is suffering terribly to endure a lifetime of pain (im speaking of instances where a paerson wants to end there life on account of disease/disability i dont think that emotional problems are ever a good reaosn to kill oneself but i do think that if someone is in a situation that is unendurable and it is because of disease or disability or just flat out being to old to enjoy life anymore that they have every right to take that route) when someone says that it is always selfish or cowardly i just cant understand that,if one is unable to care for themselves anymore isnt it there time?

In america, yes it is. Even though black people have had much success in baseball, it is still a whiteman's game in the sense that white people make up the majority of the spectators, and the baseball culture is that of whiteboys and white culture. In college, I see them, all with the same personality, attitude, and racial isolationist. They only associate with their own kind "white" usually stupid in between the ears, and thinks keg parties are the cool thing to do, as if that makes them a man. They follow the abercrombie lifestyle, one of decadence and snobery and white pride. Their value system is: no ethics, no morals, cheating is praised, getting away with the law is considered cool and an asset, cheating is an honored skill to have, steroid use is common, decadent behaviour is considered a priority, white superiorness is believed....and arrogance is mandatory

It seems like these days, with globalization and mass media and the internet youth culture is very similar no matter where you go. But do you think there are still noticeable differences in the youth culture (i.e. what clothe syoung people wear, what they do for fun, what music they listen to, dating rituals, etc.) between small town American and big cities/metropollitan areas?

Today i called some places where they offered jobs and i decided i would put on a fake accent. My normal english speaking is semi-ok..but i have a mexican spanish accent and i'm bad at speaking. But for some reason i feel better and more confident if i put on a fake accent. My fake accent is just the spanish accent BUT i make it extra thick and funny... kind of like APU of The simpsons. I called companies today and asked about the jobs they offered using this accent.. Is this ok to do? And if i were to get the job, should i continue doing it,,, but what if they catch me with my regular voice? well i just do this accent cause it gives me confidence... i don't have confidence with my regular voice because quite a bit of discrimination i've felt from many people. I love my regular voice..just that, companies are so damn discriminatory if you're a hispanic employee.. so i rather make a funny accent

what percentage of men/women who are raped when they're younger do you think turn out gay/lesbian when they're older? Sorry, its an honest question....like a good example would be the catholic preist that rapes little boys. how many of the little boys do you think grow up and turn gay?

The solution to the war in Iraq is to take the offensive. We have been fighting with our hands in our gloves. We have been fighting a "political correctness mentality" that the liberals demand. What we should do differently is set up torture chambers and televise it to the world, to show to the terrorist that we will do what you do, and also send a bomb your way. Supporters and people who give comfort to the enemy is fair game to die, so we should send the message to these religious nuts, that they are facing their best friends or their worst devil. Send one to mecca!

Shouldn't we together fight the "terrorists" instead of wasting our energies fighting one another?

If everyone knew everyone else's thoughts and there were no secrets, what would the world be like? I think that since we had no secrets weighing us down, we could show our true selves without fear.

Liberals espouse world peace, but everyone knows that war victory brings peace, Japanese came to support peace after a bomb or two got dropped on them. WW one and two got peace after bombs destroyed whole cities. No peace in middle east because of a "political correct fought war", peace in middle east is an oximoron when Islamic Terrorist are permited to breath. The answer for Israeli peace is to be disporportionate in their response to terrorist activities and their agression towards the state of Israel, that part of the world only understands agression, not diplomacy or the impotent UN. Temporary peace is no peace. Only a war victory will bring it. So you liberals go change your diaper. Minding our own business does not prevent attacks, it just allows for more.

I haven't heard much racism covered on the news currently but wonder if there is an ongoing hatred or anger towards people of that origin. I feel that there is just way too much conflict in the middle east and it is costing the international community, mostly the united states, alot to keep the peace and to safeguard our homeland security.

I was kind of wondering because I've been in situation where I'm seeing one unattractive girl after another, and then I'll see one and go "Hey, she's not bad.." and pretty soon it might be "Hmmm, yeah she's even kind of hot."

If I saw that girl in a different situation though, would I still think that or does the environment shape the opinion of people?

I don't think I'm ugly but why do all I hear people talking about is how fat or ugly people are nowadays? Is it to make themselves feel better or what?
