The wife of a middle-aged gentleman I know died about six months ago, and he is very lonely. He is from Spain and his English is not that great, although he is friendly and gets along with lots of people. We don't live in a part of the country with a large Spanish-speaking population. What kind of community groups or support groups do you think would be available for him to get to know people and make friends? Where should I look?

Many television shows (The Mole, Big Brother, The Weakest Link, Survivor, most reality t.v. shows, and in a lesser degree, American Idol) seem to be presenting some of the worst parts of human nature as virtues. There have lately been many home videos posted on the internet of children fighting at the urging of adults and even group attacks on a certain individual.
Such behaviors used to be soundly criticized and discouraged...but not any more.
Are we becoming a people that value entertainment more than anything else? Do we now consider cuelty and betrayal a necessary part of success?

What areas are politicians failing to touch on that affect your day to day life? What do they need to address before you consider them an interesting candidate.

I've noticed that america is called land of the free. But this strikes me as just plain BS. If America is the land of the free, then why are we paying money to live in homes? We pay money for everything such as transportation, food, homes, and just about everything you can think of. It even costs money to be buried and have funerals. I know alot of people see nothing wrong with working for money but think of this, we werent always using money if I can remember correctly there was a time when we didnt use money, we built our own homes and hunted it didnt cost us jack #$%%! I dont believe money makes life better, all it does is cause problems because people are obsessed with it and greedy and would do just about anything to get it. Animals are better off than us, they dont need any damn currency to survive, it doesnt cost them anything to live, they're the ones who are free.
money just makes people greedy, and no one forced us to live like this, we chose to its our own fault.

I read something and this celebrity said in high school he was a loner and now people are like I want to ______ him! He's so hot/sexy/cute. That wasn't the only person who I read had the same story. I don't think fame should be a reason for liking someone.

I recentley was robbed...it was bad but I've told this story a bajillion times even to the news. It WAS pretty horrible. But you know what? I feel myself being more angry at the dozens of people standing around watching than I am at the four people who kicked me while I was on the ground and stole everything I had. Well...not everything because my iPod fell out of my pocket and a man who was watching picked it up off the ground and stole it while I was in pain. Nice guy.

Should we take it lightly in this day and age? I dont think its funny in this day and age to say some of the things people say. We are on terrorist alert after 9 11 and i takes things personal. Some guy asked a question that the world would be a better place if all americans were arradicated? You think thats funny? Am i wrong?

I'm 24 and from the States. I'd like to take a trip to Britain but have heard several horror stories about taxi-drivers, people in pubs, etc.. going off on tangents just at the sound of our accent. This is something you would absolutely never come across in the States no matter your origin. So is it just a typical british thing, and nothing to be really concerned with, or something a bit more serious?
