I've noticed just now that me and my family always do this.

We open the fridge and just stare at it, 10 secs or 20 secs. And then closing the fridge door without getting anything. MY family and I repeat this over and over again the entire day. Does anyone else do this, or is my family just werid.

Why do Koreans and Blacks in America not get along? I know it had something to do with the race riots but I really don't understand. I live on the east coast and where i live there is a high korean population and the blacks and koreans have very good relations so I was suprised to find out blacks and koreans didn't have good relations.

If a guy came up to you with slacks and a nice button down shirt, what would you first think of him? he could be a total prat, but what's your first opinion? If a guy came up to you wearing a really big shirt, and jeans so low you can almost see all of his boders, basically looking ghetto, what would you first think of him? he could be a total prat too. who would you be more comfortable with, and why?

Has anyone noticed how many racist questions and answers there are on this site? I can't believe so many people openly ask racist questions, although most of them are so thick they think they are being discreet, or try to portray it as not racist. And all those small minded people really annoy me. Aaaagh.
Does anyone else share my frustration?

Oh my god! Yawns are contagious aren't they? So i've heard. I quite believe that Yawns can be passed on.
It could be dangerous. I was standing in a bus stop once and a car went past and the person in it was Yawning, this caused the friend I was with to Yawn, so then I did.
Just at that time the bus arrived and I Yawned as I was getting on and the bus.. the driver and a passenger at the front then Yawned!!!

Lol I'm not joking. I just read a question about yawning and it reminded me. I can't stop yawning now, help.

I figured if I wrote yawn long enough I might spead it, hehe. I'm sure my posts make people yawn anyways.

It may eventually be possible, because of nano technology, to upload all your memories, self-awareness... everything that makes you 'you, into a virtual computer generated world that would make you all but immortal.

Provided that you could be comfortable in such a world, would you choose to 'live' that way rather than die?

For US citizens: How do you view the united states?

I have an essay (its due Wednesday) but I think I need more opinions on the subject then I have at the moment. This isn't a time for hate but it is a time to express your opinion, if that opinion is a negative one, then so be it but tell me why you have such a view. I appreciate the help and your time, thank you.

Im not a "flowery" person but a friend has just lost her father. I remember reading a very lovely comforting poem on a condolence card before, but I cant find it. Its about a person standing sad saying goodbye to their loved one, saying There He Goes. While they are doing that, there are other people waiting, smiling saying Here He Comes. I would be grateful if anyone could find it for me. Thankyou

I have had a few weird dreams lately but they don't seem to carry any really strong message. I just can't seem to shake this feeling something bad is going to happen. I'm not sure waht but I'm sure it's going to be major. Wether it's something that will just affect me (eg, someone I love dies) or there is going to be a larger issue involving the general public I can't tell. I know I could just have the jeebies over nothing but I don't know how to shake this feeling.

Scientists are presently speculating that with-in the next 20 yrs it may be possible for women to cut men out of the picture altogether, using technological advances in artificial insemination and limiting births to female children only.

Would women be interested in seeing men become extinct?

If a man says she, women get mad. A woman says he, men get mad.
A black says white, whites get mad. A white says black and blacks get mad.
Don't you know babying people only keeps them from maturing? I don't believe we are that immature and insecure as a Society! WHAT'S UP PEOPLE!
Is it all just self-righteous bull, or what?

Do they know Whites fought, and died for their freedom? If Whites "are"
indifferent to Blacks, it's because of the constant assualt on Whites by many
Blacks still today. Neither of us having anything to do with what happened over a 100 years ago! Equality cannot be onesided! It requires "mutual respect"!
I will probably get bullcrap answers, but the Black communities are the ones self-destructing over this! With a large portion of Black males doing time.
Think about it!

I've asked this before, but I'll ask again.

What is greatness?

I have a picture in my mind of greatness, and then again---I don't. Sometimes I think it would be unfathomable to really imagine greatness, because its a thing we name too easily, but never really know.

I want to know what people think greatness is, what it takes for a person to become great--what it takes anything to reach greatness.

I think of Sam, or his son, From Steinbeck's "East of Eden". But then again, that's only something that's been fed to me by a book, it's not something I've devised and recognized as great by myself. Those people aren't even real.

So, other than cliche names that come to mind---please, give me your idea of greatness. Past the media hype and ridiculous blah blah blah's, give me something you've really thought about. Something that maybe even bothers you.

What is greatness? Thanks.

Another yahoo user's question about the ''N word'' inspired me to ask this one. Caucasion people shouldnt be offended by being called a ''cracker'' because it is actually referring to your skin color and unless you're insecure about it, and/or HATE actual crackers, you shouldnt be offended. If someone were to call me an ''oreo'' because of my mixed race (black and white) I would not by any means be offended. Im happy with who I am and dont care to get offended by someone making a comparison between me and something that shares the same color(s). Im not judging those of you who are offended by it, or would be (if someone called you a ''cracker'' in a heated argument) but I'm curious as to why.

thanks and have a nice night :)
