Normally when someone is Korean American or Italian American, they use the term because they gained residency in America, but were not born here. So, they give the country of the name they were born in first, right? So, why should I be considered African American? I've never been to Africa before in my life, nor do I resemble Africans, with the exception of my skin color.

Global warming, crazy weather patterns, ice caps melting, loss of religion, the "axis of Evil", nuclear weapons and a general lack of compassion for your fellow man are all contributing to what I see as the down fall of the human race, and the world as we know it. What do you think?

I know this is silly, but this drives me nuts and I really want to understand why they do it. It's a date... September 11th. Or it would be proper to say "nine eleven". So why do some people on TV and elsewhere call it "nine one one"? Are they just stupid? Are they thinking of the emergency phone number or something? You don't refer to any other dates that way... for example, today is January 22nd. You could call it "1-22". Nobody is going to call it "one two two".

At times they actually make things more difficult 2 keep people confused, frightened & paying.

You would think the medical profession is sooo complicated; but, in reality there's only x amount of body parts 2 know. Also they all specialize in one so that's all they need to know about; & they always go back to the books to research and refesh their memory.

The same thing is with Law; it's all about researching and finding a defense or law to present as presidence. If it weren't for those books they wouldn't be getting paid.

It's also done with computers; tech. support is people pulling up data to answer your questions; the ones that come to fix your computer R workers that always have to call the office to get the information they need to fix it.

The binary system is zeros and ones, then you have Java, HTML script, etc. That's simply different languages; why not just use the alphatets and english.

So don't be afraid of getting into these professions. It's all scam!

Hi I need to buy condoms and KY Jelly lubricant but I'm embarrased to walk into Walmart and buy them! Since at least one or several people in walmart know me.

I don't want anyone to know that I'm sexually active especially my relatives! I don't have anyone to take me there at midnight or something lol.

Ideas? Suggestions?

So if someone does ask me can I say it's for a class research and assignment?

Is anyone else disturbed when they see someone walk out of a bathroom stall, splash water on their hands, dry them off and leave or (even worse) not wash them at all!? I see it all the time and it’s disgusting considering that they just wiped their *** and then grabbed the same door handle that I’m supposed to use! That’s why I always use paper towel to open the door…people look at me like I’m crazy, but that’s why I do it…people are nasty! Use water AND soap, please!

Sorry, I just saw this happen again and I needed to vent. I know some of you feel me on this.

Thought we could all down a few beers, glasses of wine or spirits (whatever your tipple), have a few laughs, then head down the Kings Arms- that little place by the water front.

I've got my neighbours coming round in about an hour, if you want to join feel free.

During The Buddha's entire lifetime, 80 years or so, he witnessed people running into their temples to there Many, Many gods, "in fear," for many various reasons. The God-concept is fear based, began as early as The Buddha's observation of such behaviors from people.

The Buddha's ministry, during the time he shared all his truths, with anyone who asked, and was sincerely willing to learn, lasted about 45 years.

During the years that The Buddha went around in India, sharing his teachings with anyone who was willing to learn,
Abraham was teaching only in the nation of Isreal about the ONE God, YHWH(to the Jews) and ALLAH(to the Muslims).

The Buddha's teaching on the God-Concept being fear driven;& that a creator God does not exist was largely influenced by what he observed himself in India, from the Hindu relgions people - their Many, Many gods.

"Do you think that The Buddha(b4 his enlightenment) may have believed in the ONE God, if he heard of Him from Abraham ?"

It's something really silly to just change the old 7 wonders to another new 7 wonders, so anyway what is your opinion of your choices on the new 7 wonders? You can find some help deciding here: http://www.new7wonders.com/index.php

In my opinion they should at least leave the Great Pyramids of Egypt and the Great Chinease wall as wonders of the world.
