Have you noticed that when a person makes a negative remark about a black person, they automatically pick on the women?

Offended? No

Interesting? Yes

I always see them in their cars with those visors on (they look like welding masks) or standing at the bus stop holding up a newspaper to block the sun (at 8am). Is getting a little bit of color really so bad????

what are some things you would do if you had the power of invisibility?

me? quit my job, go to school (for free of course) scare the hell out of a few select people......as a matter of fact, if the right person had this power he/she could really turn this world around...for the better.

Good questions that would start up a long, thought out conversation? I'm trying to get someone to be more open with themself and talk more, I need some questions or something to bring up that would make them say something besides "Yes", "No", or "I don't know"

earlier today i was shopping in my local town, when a women and two men started walking up the road with a staffordshire puppy about 6 months, the guy holding the puppy on the lead started kicking it in the head and then swung it up in the air, shouting and swearing, it was apparant that they were drunk or on drugs.........this was in a busy town centre with men and women walking past, not one person intervened......except for me.........I said that he should stop doing that or i will call the police, the other guy looked a bit worried, and said stop doing that to the guy, but the they both looked at me and started shouting and screaming at me......again no one intervened.......so then i phoned the police and told them. I cant believe that into days society, that someone would be that blatently cruel towards a dog, and if thats what he was doing in public, imagine what he does at home...............what would you have done??? I feel i should have done more !!

My first removal of a question! Interesting. I came on here a couple of minutes ago, and found one of my questions removed.

It was as follows:

Do you think there is a Jesus fetish? Like if Jesus were alive would anyone want to have sex with him if they could?

In my opinion, completely innocent question. I was not bashing anyone, I was not cursing anyone. Fetishes exist and are embraced all over the world, that is a fact. Some sound absurd to other people, but the person who has the fetish consider themeselves innocent. I thought more people on this board could be more open minded, but I guess that is a huge societal problem.


Anyway, could anyone kindly answer my initial question, or post your thoughts on my first violation?

With oil inevitably going to run out and Americas refusal to prepare itself for that day will it go backwards into the dark ages. Are Americans worried or blinkered?

The paradox of our time in history is that we have
taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways,
but narrower viewpoints. We spent more, but have less,
we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and
smaller families, more
conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but
less sense, more knowledge, but less judgement, more
experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less
wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too
recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too
angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too
little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We
have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our
values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate
too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life not life to years. We've
been all the way to the moon and back, but have
trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour.We
conquered outer space but not inner space. We've
done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've
conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write
more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish
less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build
more computers to hold more information, to produce
more copies than ever, but we communicate less and
less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion,
big men and small character, steep profits and shallow
relationships. These are the days of two incomes but
more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These
are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway
morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and
pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to
kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom
window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when
technology can bring this letter to you, and a time
when you can choose either to share this insight, or
to just hit delete.

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones,because
they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to
you in awe, because that little person soon will grow
up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you,
because that is the only treasure you can give with
your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and
your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and
an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from
deepinside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for
someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time
to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.

People today are killing seals for stupid reasons!! The seals didn't do anything to us now why do we have to kill them?? Right now in Canada people are killing seals for food for coats for things like that have they ever heard about cotton? If we just thought about it most creatures are extinct because we killed them for this kind of stuff!! Would you like seals to be extinct?? I surely wouldn't. If we tried to go against this we could make a change their are only few of these killers out there but their are a million of us! If we would just stop being lazy maybe we could stop this!! If you one of these people who kill animals for clothing or for accessories may i ask you "why?" If your one of the people who are against this may i ask you why aren't you helping to go against this?Please pass this around and make a change!!:)

It seems Jews are the most hated people in the world (that's one reason why they needed a Jewish state). How long has there been anti-Semitism? Why do people deny the existence of the Holocaust? Why did Nazi Germany hate Jews? Why do Middle Eastern Muslims hate Jews? I've met Jews, and they're pretty friendly! I don't get it.
