It is true the south had more slaves.But NEWS FLASH the north had them too.The south had better farm land if the north had better farm lands would that make the American flag racist?The better farms had more slaves and that is what racism is based on.

Copied this re Tom and Jerry not allowed to smoke .
Classic cartoons are to have smoking scenes cut out.
Politically correct TV chiefs made the decision as kids' channel Boomerang after Ofcome investigated a complaint.

The complaint about Tom and Jerry said scenes in which Tom smoked a roll up in one episode and a rival cat smoked a cigar in another were inappropriate for young viewers.

According to The Sun Ofcom said: "We recognise that these are historic cartoons, mostly produced in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, at a time when smoking was more generally accepted.

"The smoking usually appears in a stylised manner and it is frequently not condoned, but the level for editorial justification required for the inclusion of smoking in such cartoons is necessarily high."

They refuse to learn our national language....are a drain on public resources and send all of their money home.

Not to mention the gangs.

If they don't believe, wouldn't it make sense for them to post their questions in Mythology and Folklore?

Laika was a Russian space dog that became the first living creature from Earth to enter orbit.Laika died a few hours after launch from stress and overheating. The true cause of her death was not made public until decades after the flight. Previously, officials had stated that she was euthanized by poisoned food, or that she had died when her oxygen ran out. Sputnik 2 was not designed to be retrievable, so it was intended all along that Laika would die during the mission.In 1998, Oleg Gazenko, one of the leading scientists responsible for sending Laika into space, did express regret for allowing her to die: "The more time passes, the more I am sorry about it. We did not learn enough from the mission to justify the death of the dog."

I wonder what would you tell them if you had chance to meet the scientists who send Laika to space and allowed her to die

If you have read *these* details, please say if you like dogs, or cats. If you don't care for either, say if you like carry-out Chinese food. Thanks!

Alcoholics Anonymous and the American Medical Association claim that substance abuse or alcohol dependence is a disease. In DSM-IV, "disease" is not mentioned when diagnosing patients with alcohol issues as described in diagnostic criteria.

AA cult members compare their created and appropriately cult modified definition "Alcoholic" to other diseases like diabetes and cancer.

If the problem of substance abuse and dependence is a disease, why does a person that is stopped driving drunk by the police taken to a jail instead of to a hospital. The person arrested informed the police that he was diseased and powerless yet he was still taken to jail.

Is AA's and AMA's definition of a drunk to a disease valid or is this "disease" diagnoses simply given to capitalize monetarily on a human malady? (Institution AA is VERY expensive!)

A wise man once said, "what sets us apart from other lower forms of animals is our ability to change and adapt to our enviornment".

I really don't mean to sound racist and i'm not at all....but i was wondering how many middle eastern people are coming over here and taking over American businesses? Every hotel now is mostly run by an arab of some sort and every Subway and Quizno's and now gas stations are being owned and operated by middle eastern people...they take the money that they earn and send it back to India, thus creating currency problems for the USA...my friends and family refuse to go to an arab operated business because they feel they need to support the American owned businesses...I used to think they were racist but now I too feel the same way as they do....I know America is the melting pot of the world but it's like now to go into a gas station or somethin you have to speak a different language...last time I checked the national language of the USA is English....seriously these people are changing our forefather's culture....and it's not just the middle eastern now we have so many illegal mexicans.
