Obviously i mean the people who live in the U.S.
We call the black people "Afican Americans", the latinos "Hispanic Americans", the asians "Asian Americans" and the whites just whites? I mean aren't they all from europe?

I'm 16 and I've always been very shy. I've loosened up alot since I was 12, but I don't think this is enough. I guess I'd fall under like the "smart-girl" category in what other people see me as, but I want to change this image. I don't want to appear stupid or ditzy or anything, but I do always feel envious of those people who blurt stuff out. I think my shy-ness is even stopping me from getting a boyfriend. What should I do?

I noticed a few questions relating to "white people becoming a minority".

In a global sense, white people are ALREADY in the minority, well and truly, so I don't see the point in worrying about something that is already a fact.

This of course, is quite apart from the fact there is only one race anyway, homosapiens, however I'm speaking to those so concerned about race as they see it, therefore I am using their interpretation.

If we divided the world's population by 60 million there would be 100 humans, of whom:

57 are Asian
21 are Europeans
14 are Hispanics from the Western Hemisphere
8 are Africans
51 are females
70 are non-white
70 are non-Christian; 30 are Christian
6 individuals control 50% of the world's wealth--all Americans
70 are unable to read
50 suffer from malnutrition
1 is near death and 1 is about to be born
and only 1 has a college education

1 million dollars is a lot.

I would save some for my college's expenses and also my two sisters college's expenses.
I would donate about 10,000 or more to a cancer research center or those organizations that help the poor or people that have AIDS/HIV
I would spend some for myself
I would give some to my family and friends

How about you?

I've been EXTREMELY disturbed recently w/ new issues rising about Racism, Religious Wars, and other social disasters that's destroying humanity and a bright future for us all to just, basically, get along! Young Caucasian American boys vandalizing predominent Black Churches w/ Racial Slurs and committing hate crimes (Not all of course), Our Black Men are dying to the streets instead of dying to get an Education (Not all because I know numerous intelligent Black Men), Black Women are dying from HIV/AIDS, Harassment for being in an Interracial Relationship from EVERY culture, or being harassed for Homosexuality, and etc. It is time for us to all step up as one and say STOP! Instead of bringing each other down w/ stereotypes and misconceptions, we need to open our minds and hearts and appreciate other cultures and not look down on someone who doesnt look like you! It's time for a change, and I would love to hear EVERY honest opinion from EVERY ethnic background. Thank You!

When comparing weed and alcohol, alcohol kills many people. Weed on the other hand is only a fraction when compared side by side. Many people die for an alcohol OverDose compared to none ever reported bying from a marijuana overdose. What does that tell you? And there is no scientific records that lead to brain damage from regular use of marijuana. You cant say that about alcohol. Most people say weed is bad because you smoke it, well many people who use marijuana medically use a vaporizor instead of just lighting up a Joint. This only releases a few chemicals mainly just Thc so they aren't at a great risk of getting cancer when compared to a ciggerette. Im just wondering what people really know about marijuana just do some research and youll learn that it isn't bad compared to alcohol or ciggerettes

Lets say you're an old man with little time left and nothing more to live for. How do you want to die? No wussy options that don't involve any pain like dying in your sleep.

For me, I'd like to like to ski down a mountain and go off one of those crazy jumps, and then land on a pile of rocks.

ever think that being called a slut is a little sexist? I mean if men are called players for going after their desires, why can't women without being called this word...furthermore, we women use this more on other women then men do. Are there examples in our culture today that can lead to this word or put women down in this type of way?

I'm going out with a 73-year young man who's been widowed and has 8 adult children, yet he lives in a 4 bedroom house just packed with his past mementos including things his wife used to wear, medicine she took, nic-nacs, and pictures that she left around before she died 5 years ago. I've tried to be patient, but he refuses to part with the things that he no longer need. He has cupboards full of dishes, a large dining room table which usually just he and I eat at, a whole room full of furniture he doesn't use, clothes galore, even food packed away in pantries. I'm at my wits end. Someone please explain his wacky behavior to me.
