Paris Hilton is actually asking for the govenor to pardon her? They really need to get over themselves! What makes celebrities any more important than the accountant that does your taxes or the single mom working 2 jobs to support her kids....I think those people are much more worthy of peoples admiration.

I personally like them and think it should be legalized everywhere.

Why? They make me feel better about myself seeing them destroy their bodies and lives'. It's funny too

Even though my father and mother were not born in the united states ( not in the middle east) I do not deserve to be treated as a foreigner

I was born in the united states and I have been living here for 16 years and counting.

I People at my school say things that cause me pain, like: go back to you're country, Go bomb some other country , Iraqi do this that etc.,

They even put on a heavy accent and say things like: I will trade you goat for camel.

(I do not have an accent)

Every day I hope to avoid those racial slurs but I keep on getting them. When we are watching an educational video and someone of brown descent comes up with not the greatest hygiene people make comparisions saying the person looks like me.

I just feel hurt right now because it's been accumulating inside of me for 5
years now. I hope every day that people won't make those comments but it almost always happens daily.

I love a gil at my school but I found oi\ut that she made a racial comment about me . Probably the last knock I could take.

I want to stop anuthing that reminds me of my race such as my parents-always talking in not english, wearing clothing in that culture, foood of that culture, acting in ways if that culture (trying to make friends based on race)
and I hate it. I guess I hate my own race and culture.

I will leave a link to how actual ethiopians look on my source so click the link just incase you have the whole stereotypical africa in your mind lol.I have an ethiopian friend,helina once she was about to test her teacher told her ethiopians are others not black and made her erase black and put other.Many ethiopians consider themselves others because historically they're mixed with israelian or are the ancient egyptians they have there looks.True,they dont look like any other african not because there people got raped why do people assume this?This land was independent.Anyway please i beg dnt bicker about this saying there just as black as me or w/e cause if your a black american they ARE NOT any where near as black as you no offence but thats just a lie.Not all people in africa have to be called black.I think they should mark others arabs do call them "habesha" which means mixed.whaat do you think?

Anyone else think our kids are 'growing up' too fast? When I visited my elementary school I found most of the kids were disrespectful to authority, were wearing gangster clothes, cussed and the girls were sporting makeup. What do you think about all this? When will parents wake up?

I am of a generation which had to learn to multiply and divide by 16 in our heads, to cope with sums in pounds and ounces! But I was glad to see the back of all that - except that we still like to weigh ourselves in stones and pounds, and feet and inches. But apart from that, why would anyone want to keep imperial measures? I think it is confusing if shops are allowed to display prices in yards or pounds alongside metres or kilos, because for the two generations which only know metric, it makes things seem cheaper than they really are. What do others think? Can any of you under forty years old (in UK) actually calculate measurements in yards, feet and inches? Or pounds and ounces? And can anyone over 40 remember how to do it?!

Why does it seem like whites are more vocal and explicit while blacks tend to be more reserved, at least vocally.

I'm not talking out my bum either. I'm black, btw. But I heard this topic on a talk radio station one day and wanted to see yoru opinions.

In my personal opinion, I find this to be true. What do you think?

Deviations to this are welcomed!

I just heard that she is "very upset and doesnt deverve this" over her 45 day jail sentence for breaking probabation or whatever. Is it just me or does it seem unfair that they get away with everything and the average person seems to get it harder? In my opinion if they started cracking down on the celebrities more, there wouldnt be so many bad things happening!
