I love the song by Haggard and Wilson Politically Incorrect, it explains how I feel to a T. I hate when people tell me you can't say that, someone will get offended. What about what offends me? I don't try to offend anyone, i try to never be rude or curel to people but if you down grade my beliefs then why can't I say what I think? What ever happened to standing up for your belief or principles?

I am doing a report on Cornel West. He said that Blacks and Whites should join together in order to excel, or something like that. I am trying to present this to a class of college students, so I'd like to use famous people to prove West's theory. Can anyone think of some famous Black people who became famous or influential with the help of White people?
I have that Oprah helped Dr. Phil become famous, which is a reversal, but that works too.
Also, I was thinking of George Bush and Condoleeza Rice, which is a backup.

Or, if anyone has some ideas on how to present West's theories, that would be great. I only read about ten minutes worth of stuff.

Thanks!

Calm down, this came out in Clerks 2 and was actually a very funny scene.

Are there any other names you'd like to take back?

On an Island. What would you want to have with you and why?
You may choose up to two things, but neither can be a person.

Time and time again I've seen questions on YA about severe health issues. People trying to get answers about what to do for medical emergencies... that obviously need a doctors attention, not advise from posters.

In some of these questions, the posters have come right out and said, "I need help. I don't have any insurance", or "I can't go to the ER, because I know they'll want to keep me there and I don't have any money".

Should healthcare be an option?? Or should it be a right for everyone regardless of ability to pay??

Are they that self centered

Which would you be more willing to do for them? Why?

a) Die for them. Give up your own life. Your loved one will never see you again in their current lifetime and you'll be dead.

b) Kill for them. Suffer all the emotional problems that killing another human may bring upon you. You may risk going to prison or getting yourself killed.

I heard it was an acronym for "Farmers Used to Buy Us".

Is this true?

Sadly, I'd have to say my internet life is better. It used to be the other way around, but because I am boring in person, my internet life is far better.

On the intarwebs:

- I have friends
- I am more interesting because I get time to think what to say, then post
- I love myself

In real life:

- I don't have friends
- I am boring
- I have no stories to tell, no interesting things to say because I don't do anything
- No job
- Don't go to school anymore... no way to make friends
- I hate myself

I have an English paper that I have to do, and I am arguing for the use of Native American mascots. Does anyone have any arguments for the use of Native American mascots? The ones I have so far are:
- The use of mascots have been approved by some tribal leaders.
- Names such as the Seminoles, or the Braves aren't offensive. They are just names. Some have even argued that Warrior is an offensive Native American name. Why??
- The mascots are not intended for insulting the Native Americans, but rather to represent their strength and celebrate their culture.

Thanks for any opinions that you may provide.

The majority of men and women I see are obese, and/or diabetic, and/or losing hair (me!), and/or have certain unattractive features (unshapely nose/ear) etc...

Yet why do so many people here (men and women) keep talking about looks? Why do we as humans focus on looks when we know that at best only 5 percent of humans are decent looking? More importantly, why do all the women on tv shows always talk about good looking guys?

Do we all think we will find a partner among that five percent?

I am a grad student and TA in a math dept; i have very little money, as you can guess. for the last one and half yrs i have been sleeping on the floor; it is not that i cannot get a bed, but my point is that it feels so demeaning to have to buy the cheapest stuff all the time/ or old furniture. the same goes with clothes; there is no way i can buy myself a good jacket with the money i have, so i am sticking out the winter in my tee-shirt. It sure hurts, but am I not doing the honourable thing? Isn't it insulting to go into a store and scavenge for the cheapest goods; is it not insulting to talk to a salesman like an ordinary customer, knowing that quality or taste is the last thing on your mind; all you want to do is live till tommorrow?

When I was salsa dancing with this guy he said that he was ... and then held up his pinky finger? I think that means he is gay. But later I was talking with an Italian guy at a Thanksgiving potluck and he said that Japanese people like their food... and held up his pinky finger? meaning salty. I guess this depends on your culture or the context. What does holding up the picky finger mean to you?

By the time you have an abortion, the baby is not even a baby yet. it's sooooo under-developed that it hasn't even began to become a baby!!! it doesn't have a brain, lungs, or a heart.
PEOPLE, EDUCATE YOURSELVES!!!

I will be graduating soon to become an Elementary Teacher. Do you think a long-life (33 yrs.) Texan would be capable for success here? Thanks for your opinions in advance.
