Speaking in general, American teens have awful geography.

In my Spanish class, a boy told a girl that she looked Arabic, and she didn't know what that was (Arab, Middle Eastern) The boy said it meant that she was "like, Indian" Indians are South Asians, they are different races and American teens should know what Arabic is post-9/11.

In my English class, we got to do brochures on any country in the Middle East or Europe...one student selected India and no one realized that India is not in the Middle East.

It's not just teenagers...many people think that Indians are Middle Easterners, that Hindus and Muslims are the same, and that Middle Easterners and South Asians are the same, these people are a disgrace!

Don't get me wrong, I think it would be OKAY to have kids, but then I had another thought. I just don't think my genes and social interactions/etiquette are good enough for the population as a whole to have children. I want to make life easier for myself and improve the world. I don't want to have children that will have any of my defective genes and be raised in a home where they can't have every opportunity to succeed. Think of it as a one-man voluntary, eugenics program.

NO! It's because when they get married in America the government puts it on the womans head as a wedding gift. It's a scratch-off to see if they won a 7-11 or a hotel.

Come on people. We have all learned about natural selection (survival of the fittest). This is why humans have strived for billions of years. I think everyone needs to come to grips with reality here. I believe until people are ready to prosecute hunters and fisherman, they should keep thier mouths shut about vick. Anyone every been to a meat packing plant. I dont hear the outrage about how animals are treated there. How about hunting now. Ever watched anyone skin a deer...or maybe have the head cut off so they can display it on the wall. Oh but wait...I forgot, they bought a license to kill for fun. I have a hard time understanding what the difference is in all these when the same end result is dead animals. Once again people, these are dogs we are talking about. I know they are not part of anything that makes it to the dinner table, but they are also not in line to cure cancer anytime either. Bottom line, they are a pet ONLY. Whats your opinion on this.

The black college football player Ian Johnson just married a white cheerleader but he said that they received many death threats by mail and through other means. Is Idaho that much of a racist state? This young man had to hire security and he prays that prejudice will become a thing of the past. But that is something only God can do. Only God can bring about peace among all men.

I can go to the store....I can choose to go to the store..I can choose what I eat, I can choose what I wear. I can choose where I live. I can choose the music I listen to. I can choose any number of things in my daily life...

So why do people want laws that would choose what I can or can't do to my body or who I can or can't marry?

This cocky musician triggered a huge barfight, by hitting another musician in the face just for trying to set up and plugging in his guitar. (well, he also grabbed him by the balls and pushed him into the Congo Drums first).
Anyway, So in the middle of that, I was really tired and mad, and it was already 4:30 A.M., so, I took off my belt, wrapped it around my hand and THUMP!, one blow to the back of his skull, and we were all square again, and soon we could go home, except he laid out for a long time.
Someone went for ice and towels, others swept up broken glass. Me, I was ok, (except my pants kept falling down).
So funny huh?
