I think it's hilarious to watch some of the things people will say when they don't have to face the people they're talking to.

I have seen people say that white children who get abducted or kidnapped get more media exposure than minorities. I have to disagree. I think it is a matter of class. If you are upper middle class then you tend to be more 'liked' by the media. Case in point, there was a 23 year old white girl who lived in the public assistance housing in my city and she was raped and murdered in her own home by two guys she knew. Her case got no media exposure and I never really heard much about it. That really pissed me off because I went to school with this girl and she had a two year old kid.
A whitewoman who's husband owned a bank and lived a few blocks from my mom, got her house broken into and was murdered and her car was stolen as were some of her jewelry. This was a high profile case because she was rich!
The reason that minority children do not get much media exposure when they are kidnapped is because they do not come from rich families. A white child with poor parents wouldn't either

I just read a book that is used to educate people from other parts of the world about American culture. The way the author was wording some of the "tips" was as if "what we do" is just outrageous to other countries (including Canada).

For instance, smiling. Here in the US we smile. Alot. Even at strangers and we expect them to do the same. It's a non-verbal way of saying, "Hello, I'm friendly. Are you?" That's actually strange to other countries.

Body odor. We don't like it. Now come on!! That has to be an international thing. But guess what...It's not. Some countries think we over emphasis the importance of personal hygiene. I've seen those guys at the corner store. He-he!

Women. At work, I wear a striped, casual button up shirt with slacks and heals. Although it is clearly a female's outfit, we All American Girls are deemed unfeminine for wearing it. And the work/family balancing act is shocking in some places. Why?

The book says the "world" thinks we're goofy. Are we?

Why do people in Europe work less per week than American's? This article says that factory workers at VW in Germany now work 33 hours per week, up from the previous 28 hours/week. When I was in highschool I worked at least 25 hours a week while attending school. My mother works at a steel plant here in Ohio and works just under 60 hours/week. Why don't europeans work as much, but at the same time, they are better at saving money than americans?

I'm an atheist and i do support capital punishment (for murderers only) since I think it's the best way to secure society from people who has no regard for human life. I know many of antheists don't support it and I find myself in a tricky position when I consider the human life as sacred and yet favor death penalty. My approach to resolve this contradiction is to think that people who give themselves authority to kill someone (i'am talking about deliberate murder, not self-defense or war situation) don't deserve fair treatment and should be eliminated as they pose threat to others. What's your opinon? (If you are a religiuos fanatic, please don't respond to this question)

I see on TV that people REALLY think there are aliens and truly believe they have been abducted. I DON'T see proof and don't see any scientific evidence that holds up to scrutiny. So...I put the question out there.

I need input in trying to help a Nonprofit group(s) in the Syracuse, NY area obtain funds to assist in their ability to help the community. I offered my marketing resources, grant research and writing and volunteering my services for free for a whole 3-years. I do not live in the city but would like to. I would travel 15 miles each way to attend community meetings just to find out how I could be of assistance I told them my services would be free until they got past the ground stages, then we could discuss my fees which would have been low and put back into the community.. They then said we are not there yet and would not need such services until they found a building to purchase for what we are trying to do which is still not determined. They currently have a a very small budget of less than $20k and have a 503c status in real estate which would be a great help in the area. Not sure if I should walk away from them or continue to try and help in lieu of their ignorance?

What single event in society has changed you, a negative and a positive one. I am curious, I am writing a paper about this... and can think of events that have made me look at the world in a different way, and were negative. However, the last week I have been thinking of a positive one, and can not do so. Maybe, I am overlooking good events that made me who I am. I am also only 19 and have not been alive for many events.
