What is it that makes a certain name brand so coveted that we spend upwards of $500 on something that could otherwise cost us about $50? In reality these brands aren't made "better" or even designed "better" ,but we fork over the cash anyway to have that oh so precious tag. I can't knock it too much because I've found myself guilty of this on occassion. I'm just interested as to what makes these specific tags so special. Things like louis Vuitton and Dooney and Bourke, do these names make things seem more special than had it been some generic manufacturer?

I am a New Yorker whose whole life was ripped wide open on 9/11, having lost family members and suffering the eventual disolution of my marriage because of emotional distress brought on by the attack.

Yet, I don't see that our experience is more poignant or more important than that of the people in countries torn apart by constant violence. That includes Afghanistan, Palestine, Israel and Iraq (countries directly affected by American military action).

I had thought that our experience on 9/11 would make us more sensitive to the daily horrors our country's military inflicts on other people. Where is our heart?

Very few beautiful women marry atractive, intelligent, honest men. They seem to be attracted to rotten, tattooed, skinny, long haired, cheating, stealing, lying freaks with criminal backgrounds. Why would they marry scumbags like that when they could get anyone they wanted?

Why do you feel the need to put your racist comments all over Y!Answers?? Do you realize that nobody cares about you or what you say...and stop e-mailing me...I think you need to log off the net and never get back on...Racism is still here today because of stupid people like you...And as far as me reproducing that is none of your business...but if it will piss ignorant white racist like you off..I'm going to have 10 interracial babies and then get on welfare so you can pay for me to raise my children....Go get an education..your mother should of gotten rid of you with a clothes hanger.

Do you think that everything we do in society affects every individual?

How can one person shrug something off that was said to them, and another person takes it to heart, whilst the other seeks revenge?

Besides the concept of nature vs nuture, what makes everyone act so differently?

Why do men ask questions such as, Do you think women should go to work or stay at home? They continue to their opinion saying they think women are better off at home, no confusion...then they say something like I'm not sexist! Why? If they are going to state something that is entirely sexist why at the end do they back down?

Corruption, prejudice and hatred (and many other negative elements) seem to prevail all over the planet and depress us all. But some people seem to maintain their joy pretty well irrespective of what transpires. So please share your wisdom with us all. Thank you.

Well...
Don't you think using firearms [guns] should be..banned?
Especially machines...
We are all... dying from our own creations... life is like one big
spiral of death... Because of what we do.
Right? or...wrong?
I think...we should become less futuristic... it's been like this for
over a thousand years...nothing but guns, weapons, killing...
Why must we do this?
Nothing will happen if you kill some innocent...right?
It is pointless to me...and bit..reizoundetua [crazy].

What do you think about this????
I just have a bad feeling about things nowadays... =(

I just...feel like...
I was only meant to live to die! ='|

When I go visit my old hood my stomach drops. I get all anxious. When I see the people walking in the streets like the sidewalk is out of order I get very angry. I know I should hate white people because as a black man I should, but all of the horrible sht I have expperienced has come at the hands of my own people. My friends who were murdered, my people did it. My family that have died as the result of drugs, my people sold them the drugs. On the other hand. White folks have given me jobs money and opprotunities. My mind is being tormented by this dilema. I drive to white malls to shop cuz I do not want trouble, I avoid my people, am I racist?

During the late 1980's to early 90's i used to live on Acton lane in Harlesden NW10. There was a group of people all bald, men and women who used to walk up my road, there faces were extremely pale and they used to wear black/dark-coloured robes/clothes.. I was very young at the time and thought i imagined them.. but my sister remembers them too.. They could possibly have been a cult, but i think that unlikely as they were very open, often out in daylight dressed very strangely. I also thought that they could come from a sanitarium, out on occaisonal day release...Any one know who these people were? or who they could be? anyone have local knowledge of that area of brent?
