This is about the story in the papers today that suffolk police are not naming some serial burglars in case it infringes their human rights.Another force refused to put wanted criminals' photos on wanted posters..in case...you've guessed it ..it infringes their human rights.Before long we will not be allowed to imprison them in case it infringes their human rights to be free.
I think that criminals should forfeit some of their human rights as soon as they decide to commit a crime.It's their choice..they don't have to be criminals...they choose to be.

I have a question regarding a friend who considers himself not prejudiced or racist, but i heavily disagree.

He has made the claim that "Whites are more intelligent than Black", and has used a "statistic" pulled from a blog. it concludes that "Blacks are borderline retarded when it comes to IQ tests".

i belive that since he has this idea that blacks are less intelligent that whites, when he meets a stranger black person, his first thought is that hes less intellgent than him. He has this idea because of an inaccurate stereotype, which is prejudice.

my question for you is: is this man prejudice or not?
His arguement is the truth is not prejudiced.
"Is it prejudiced to speak the truth?
what IF the black race is stupider that the white race? i mean, white people are taller than asian people, its okay to compare... why not compare intelligence then? its feasible that they differ, along with other characteristics such as wider nose"

If you do then what can be done. They are already moving into every other country in this world. There are some Anti-Wal-Mart sites but I'm afraid it is too late to do anything about this super power.

Dowry is a curse in Indian society. Legally it is abolished but not scoally. If you answer no then please take an oath that you will not get or give dowry.
Due to dowry young adults are turning towards love marriage which is taking right of the parents to find suitable match by arranged marriage.
Love marriage has one marit if I can marry I can divorce. Where as arrange marriage has one merit marriage is bonding of 2 people ,2 families & realtives . It is difficult to break.

I have seen the disaster of love marriage by being in north America.I do not support love marriage. I am writing in an orkut group "Love vs. arrange marriage "Soulmates are found mutually but upto high school going children divorce rate is 40%. Whs soul mate real?
Time is not far when the dowry system wil be reversed because in 1970's & 80's every couple wanted 2 boys & a girl. This has created imbalance in male & female population. So parents to continue their generation will pay to the girls parent

Seriously, pretty much every woman I've ever met says this, with no hint of embarrassment whatsoever. Why is this? I'm sorry but it is really more information than necessary.

Do you ladies not realise that for us men, this sentence immediately conjures up a mental image of you squatting down on the toilet, complete with grimace on face, letting out a grunt of satisfaction as you squeeze one out?

A simple 'I'll be back in a minute' or even 'I'm going to the toilet' will suffice. Why the need to give us such explicit information on this matter?

Surely you wouldn't dream of saying to a guy 'I'm just going for a POO'... he would be mortified, right?

So why is this considered OK?!

If you get back to me within the next ten minutes I'll make sure to blurt out (even if it makes no sense) any non-vulgar phrase that you can sum up in one sentence. Get back to me. The time is ticking!

Everywhere I go these days, whether it be dining out or buying groceries at the local supermarket, people seem unhappy in general. These are not isolated incidents but a constant encounter with unhappy service workers. And its not just the employees but the customers are unhappy too.

I have one year left here for my master's, and I can't take it anymore!!! The weather, the economy...so many other things I won't say either. Like most other people here, I stayed for my family and also for low tuition.
Why did you leave?
Any advice for someone who just can't stand it here anymore, but has to stay for a little longer?
Thanks.
