They do no care about integration, it is all an excuse for them to hurl racist abuse toward people of colour, all shades and sizes. They are incredibly rude and mean to me. I was born here and they yell racial slurs all the time.I am fully integrated they ask me for curry and call me racial slurs. Yesterday i read that an indian doctor in my neighbourhood was abused for being nonwhite

hospitol patients to be put out at skid row. These patients have no were to go, no one to look over them and because of this the institutions that are suppose to be the healers are just throwing these people in taxis and ambulances and kicking them out at skid row. All because of money or lack of money. We who live in the wealthest nation in existence. Are we not going to be remembered by how we treated the poorest amongst us? They have thrown out people who can't even walk. How can we as a nation let this happen?

OR.......

raise children to be succesful first and then to become good people second.

I suppose most people will say good people first? but why? since nearly everyone craves success in some field.

There is so much talk of poverty in 3rd world countries. If you look down the block, across the street from where you live there are children and elderly and homeless starving everyday here in the USA. How is this possible? Even working adults aren't getting to enough to eat or the right foods because the amount of pay verses the cost of living doesn't equal out. Alot of times this causes obesity because the cheapest foods, the fillers, are the ones that cause you to gain weight. How about teaching birth control to nations that are so poverty stricken as we teach them to plant and work the fields as we do. Then do something for our own nation. I wonder how many nights a week our government officials go without food while a child lays in the bed crying from hunger, but it's working parents don't 'qualify' for food stamps?

I find myself angry every day. My neighbors and their unsightly junk, cars, RVs. We have local ordinaces that the police do not enforce (even they ignore the ordinaces too!) No one has pride in their property anymore. I have complained, been to town meetings. It just isn't working. I am tired of complaining and being angry. I just want to be able to look past all the problems in our neighborhood and be positive. I don't want to be a hermit or a prisoner in my own home. Its not only the neighbors but the drive to work is unhealthy also. Everyones in a hurry, They pass you on the right, run red lights and almost kill people. I use my middle finger and horn daily. I am done..... HELP! Moving is out of the question at this time>

to me it's selfish act. It's obviously lustful, and you focus on idolizing someone. Don't people know to do that is to defile God's temple? It seems like even some Christians seem to want to deny it being wrong so they can continue. Sin is natural, but it's not right to sin.

I find school a total waste of time because it is totally delaying my dream which is to become an actress. I've been considering dropping out so I can go on. What should I do? I can't stand school anymore. It's just so stupid. By the way, I'm in grade 10. I have friends and everything, but I hate all the academic crap. and by the way, I'm pretty dumb in school. I always get low marks except in English and Drama and Music.

Our new neighbors are all men. They moved into the house next to ours, and there's five of them who live there.. and a few more that come to visit now and then. Now, I mind my own business, but it seems that everytime I venture outside I run into one of them. The problem is that some of them come up with stupid/rude little remarks and they make me uncomfortable. For instance, the other day I needed something from my car and one of them looks at me and says.. 'hey baby, can I ride with you?" and the other one said "Oh, she's not taking you, she wants to ride with me" and made a face at me. Just yesterday, I was going out and it was raining out, this one guy was talking to his friend and he looks at me and says "Look at her, she's scared of the lightning, let me go over there and hold her." I've asked them to stop a few times, but they won't..

I really don't feel safe going over to a house full of men and asking them to stop.. Anyone have any suggestions as what I can do?

how do parents (dads especially) outright deny paying support, and you can do nothing. a deadbeat parent doesnt have any thing and intentionally doesnt work to not have to pay support, even when there is a court order, why do they not go to jail!!!! maybe its because im on the loosing side. ive always supported my child with the only father hes ever known, his stepdad since age 2. and we have always done it on our own, but when money is tight, it infuriates me that this person has no accountability. iam i wrong. what do other people think about this? and no i dont even know where he is, and havent for several years. sorry about rambling.

A few weeks ago, my husband and I rented Blood Diamond and both of us liked it, but by the end of the movie, we were so disgusted by what we learned about the diamond trade. I was never really into diamonds before, but after watching that movie, I got completely turned off. I know al ot of my peers love wearing diamond jewellery, but everytime I think about it, it sickens me to know what's going on behind the scenes, and it hurts to know what their money is supporting. When we hear/read about serious issues such as these, what is something we can do to change that?

Take a look at society-the world`s greatest scientists, musicians, artists, philosophers, and notorious leaders have all been men.
The artisits: Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh...
The scientists and philosophers: Einstein, Homer, Socrates...
Leaders/politicians: Hitler, Stalin, Egypt`s pharaohs, every president of the US..
The world has always been dominated by men and men have always made the most significant accomplishments. Sure, there have been women like Marie Curie and you could probably name a lot others, but the most famous names that stick out are always of males.
What is it about men that makes them so overriding? It`s a scientific fact that the average woman has more intelligence than three average men put together.

Is testosterone a factor? Is it some biological characteristic that all men have, such as the way a man`s brain is wired? I know that testosterone is connected with a better understanding of math and science, but still.
Why men ???
