I'm getting a little tired about all the negative things being said about America, all countries have their bad sides, nobody is perfect, so I want to know some POSITIVE things that America has given to the world, please.

Some people say that high school is when you have the best years, others say when it's when you're in your 20s, and yet others believe it's when you're over 50! What do you all think?

I would rather have someone 50 or over to answer since they've lived longer, but I'm open to anyone. (Plus I don't think a lot of seniors go on Answers...)

Men: Would you have approached or started a conversation with you lady if she wasn't phsyically appealing?

Woman: don't you dress up for your mate and complain when you gain 5 pounds? Do you really think he approached you for your personality?

Okay, so I am pierced and I am planning on getting some taottoos done (after I've stared at the designs for a year or so and if I still like them). I don't look like everyone else. My hair is pink, and I wear a lot of black. On the other hand, I grew up in the country and my favorite thing is riding horses. So I don't fall under any of the usual stereotypes, not to say people don't try.

I want to know why people seem to discriminate against others that have tattoos/piercings? Tattoed people are just like everybody else, they just had the guts to get artwork on their skin instead of in a picture frame. I have met plenty of tattoed people and the majority are nice and friendly like everyone else. Some are teachers, servers, work in offices and such.

So can anyone on here that has said anything discriminatory against all tattoed people justify themselves? And I mean justify, not just spit and curse at me for bringing up a legitimate question, thanks. I'm here to ask, not to fight.

Please share an experience that you have had to humble yourselves.
Quote by John Gardner " An excelent plumber is far more admireable than an incompatant philosopher the society that scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because philosophy is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipe or its theories will hold water."

In high school, Holly was popular. Holly had her own car first. Holly liked to drink with the "in" crowd in the 10th grade.
Holly was head chearleader, Home coming Queen, and dated the popular football player. Seems like she was class president too.

Holly eventually died in the local state mental hospital...before our 25th Reunion!
Will I miss Holly? No, I never met her...she was too popular.

I'm 27 and I know that's not old, but at the same time, I keep feeling like I am getting older at this horribly rapid rate. I used to think being born in 1980 was this status symbol of being young, because most people were born in the 70s or before, but now people were born in the 90s and are becoming the new hip up-and-comers. It's so weird - I thought I would always be young and now it seems like people born in 1980 are old. Am I the only one hyper-paranoid about my age? It sucks!

What's a really good quote by a Chicano, for Chicanos? I'm doing an assignment on the future of Chicanos as an ethnicity and would like to start it off with something really powerful, but I can't find any good quotes to use for my introduction. Suggestions? Preferably something to do along the lines with the culture as a whole, maybe the civil rights movement, etc...

I was enjoying a peaceful, lunch-time walk and the people walking behind me had such annoying, nasal voices that I stopped and let them pass.

I also let many women pass me because they sound like horses with the shoes they wear. What's up with that?

You know what a "citizen's arrest" is, right? Well, what about a "citizen's tax"? Today during lunchtime, all I wanted to do is briskly walk from my office building across the street to the deli and order myself a veggie sandwich with no mayo. Of course, the same homeless bum tries to hit me up for some change.

Instead of trying to ignore him, I had a different plan. I reached into his cup and took a nice little wad of bills right from him and muttered "about time one of you people do something for me for a change!". Why should I have to pay for the street cleaning fees that washes away his urine and feces and not him?

Give me one good reason why we shouldn't euthanize these creeps? I'm actually a very progressive, warm hearted person. I want to do whats right for them. And this "poor person" actually had $87 in that wad I swiped! 87 bucks! I bought a bottle of Jack Daniels and the Spice Channel for the weekend, now thats living!

Now, first off I really don't care personally and could give hoot heck what race he was. I'm non-religious myself. So with that out of the way, its been seriously discussed that Jesus was a black man. Here are the facts:

He spent his life wandering around calling everyone "brother".
He got harassed and executed by the local authorities.
He lived at home till he was 30.

I talked about this to a white co-worker who is devoutly Christian (and probably a virgin). She's not talking to me anymore, and I have to go the long way around the office just to get to the bathroom now. Why are white Christians so offended that Jesus was black?

Today we performed a CAT scan on an elderly gentleman who had some type of abdominal complaint. We told him that in order to get a good study of his belly he'd have to pull his trouser down about mid thigh. He starts pulling his trousers down and that's when we noticed that he was wearing a diaper. That's when I started thinking about how life repeats itself.

1. We're born naked

2. We wear diapers until we're potty trained.

3. We're potty trained and are able to use the bigger potty without falling in the thing.

4. We grow old and incontinent and find ourselves wearing diapers once again. But this time the diapers are much bigger. ( ^ _ ^ )

5. We eventually die and leave this world the same way we came in. To paraphrase a passage in the Bible "We brought nothing into this world and it's most certain that we'll take nothing with us once we die."

Anybody familiar with such a habit?
