Who?
Peter Norman was the silver medallist who placed between John Carlos and Tommie Smith at the 1968 Olympics.
As everyone knows, during the medal ceremony Smith and Carlos gave the "black power salute".
Norman supported the two athletes by wearing a human rights badge.
I for one am saddened by the loss, he wasn't a household name but, however subtle, he is a part of history.

I was talking to my buddy and he told me something which i find really disgusting...
He told me that his aunt got raped when she was 14 (in alabama, 13 years ago) and the 51 yr old man only went to jail for 6 years. He only got tried for rape, not pedophelia or anything.
Anyway, I did know that in some states in the US, the legal age of sexual consent is as low as 14 and am wondering why they chose such a ridiculously low age and why the hell its okay for pedophiles to rape little girls?
i mean, i think that sex should be someones personal choice and if a 13 yr old, for example, wants to have sex, thats their personal business and choice but i think it should be illegal for them to have sex with someone much older. I mean i understand two little kids just experimenting and being curious (like i was... i was 15 with a 14 1/2 yr old. we were both curiou) but a little kid and an adult is a whole different story.

No, don't tell your guns are for defense. For every one time a gun in an American home is used in a self-defense or legally justifiable shooting, there are 4 unintentional shootings, 7 criminal assaults or homicides, and 11 attempted or completed suicides. Get real guys. Sue the NRA for the deaths, and ban guns like the rest of the civilised world. Then your kids can go to school in relative safety.

Rather than telling me why you prefer tampons or why belts are not your favorite, can women (thanks anyway guys) who have used them or do use them tell me WHY they have tripled in sales in the past 5 years to younger women? There must some compelling reason, or they would not be increasing in sales. What good about them?

When we ask men what they like about Asian women , they always say because they cook and clean good . They are quiet and not aggresive . They are obeying and always follow their housbands. So question is every men love a maid kind of a wife or just the ones who end up in Asia??
Please give me sincere answers not stupid racist ones .

examples don't necessarily have to be extreme or very serious--something ordinary or commonplace will be great as well.
