Other - Society & Culture - 22 January 2007

Sorry to bring race into the picture, but fact is, i've been raised around caucasion males and females all my life. I've learned the subtle ins and outs of that culture. And I say "that culture" because, as i've found out the hard way, young women of color respond quite differently to me than the youing caucasion women. Now I do know there's deep complex psychological and sexual-tension theories out there about black man/white female relationships and I accept that.

But what I refuse to accept/believe is that all (or at least most) black females desire black men embodying the qualities celebrated in the modern hip-hop cuture. (i.e. thug, ganster, hustler, etc)

Is it so bad to wear clothes w/o the logos?
Is it so bad to be able to make my subjects and verbs agree?
Is it so bad to not drive an expensive whip w/ crome rims and tvs?

Seriously, I want to know your opinion. And i'm not knocking the culture, i'm just asking if conforming to it is the only way to get a sista now days?

I used to sell PC's and other electronic stuff and I would do all the research and could field almost any question about the stuff I was selling. One would think that because I did that for a living I was sure about what I was talking about.

1. We are an obese nation. For example, nobody just eats a sugar cookie.
The cookie has nuts, chocolate chips,is dipped in chocolate and rolled in
coconut. Portions at restaurants are far more than the average person can
eat. We are addicted to junk and fast food.
2. We are adicted to computers, textmessaging, cell phones,emailing,
computer porn etc...
3. The average American watches 6 hours of TV every day.
4. Our teenagers party much more than they did in the 70s and only want to
get smashed and high.
5. We drive ridiculously large cars while the world is suffering from global
warming.
6. We build huge houses and only have two people living in them.

I could go on and on...

Seriously, this is for an article I'm writing. One question for your serious answer: Who do YOU say Jesus Christ is?

Thank you all in advance. I hope you all have a nice day.

Apparently today: statistics show that people have things go wrong.. They realise that their new year’s resolutions are failing... and it's high for suicides....

Keep your chin up and always remember that there are people worse off than you... Here’s to hoping you're having a good day anyway... against all odds....

Just a little note we got sent round... thought it was nice considering... it stated at the end to forward onto all you think could do with a little lift today... so thought I'd post it here for you all

Have a good day...

xx

Okay. Back in the old days, you would always get strapped in school. Now, schools don't do that anymore. Also, back then, if a neighbor caught you doing anything wrong, they'd spank you, and then you would get spanked again at home, esp. if you got strapped in school. Now, neighbor don't spank their neighbor children anymore. They also say these days that if you discipline your child(ren) they call that abuse. Why do you think all of these things changed? And why do you think that some people think that discipline is abuse?

Is it a violation of rights. I personally think the should ban smoking with a child in the car. Why would someone want to kill their child?

Ok, so this big brother thing has reached virtually world level now. Would the same thing have happened if Shilpa had said to Jade, jade Milky, for example, or jade fish and chips. I understand the concept of racism, but it seems that caucasion people get called racist for the smallest remark, and Asian, or "black" people get away with it. Im not saying what Jade Jo and danielle was correct because it wasnt but I think it has gone way to far. I truly dont understand how the english are turning against there own?

It is really hard to put this question in a way that nobody feels offended, but please bear in mind, I mean no offence with it. Basically, I came to America two months ago, and although generally I've had pleasant experiences, there are things which bother me a lot. One is hypocrisy. It is amazzing how people pretend to respect the law. Whenever I talk to people (or read Yahoo answers) I hear "don't drink alcohol when you're 15, because it's ILLEGAL". Not because you're more likely to have alcohol problems later if you get used to drinking at a young age. "Don't have sex when you're 15, because it's ILLEGAL". Not because you'll get pregnant and your childhood will be screwed up. I'm a student pilot, and I often hear "don't fly in the clouds when you are not rated for instrument flying, because it's ILLEGAL". Not because you will die. In short, everything that is wrong is wrong because it's illegal. They don't care why it's illegal. Can somebody explain this to me?
