Which is the correct pronountiation of the word CELTIC. I have heard it pronounced both "keltik" and "seltik". Which is it? I have always thought "seltik" was probably more proper. (The basketball team is the "seltiks" not the "keltiks") I would really like to know which is the preferred way to pronounce it.

I moved to America and went to Catholic schools in my early years here. I hated the people, and I thought all Americans were detestable like them. Gradually, I started doing activities outside of school and I went to college, where I discovered normal, nice people! I don't know what was wrong with the people I went to Catholic school with. They seemed like they were very cliquey, racist, mean, closed-minded and isolated. Almost everyone I run into that goes to the local public schools or other private schools HATES the people at the Catholic school I went to. It's not that they're rich preps, I hear that group of people talk crap about the Catholic school kids.

I went to Catholic schools in two states, and the people were idiots both places. I'm not generalizing, but what's the deal? Is it because a lot of them are Irish?

Tell me what you think: are there some jobs more suited to men? Are there some jobs more suited to women? Should men be payed more than their female counterparts so tha they can support their families? Would the world be a better place if women stayed home with the kids, or are you in favour of the stay-at-home dad? Are there certain jobs such as builders that women shouldn't be allowed to do? Do only gay men work as nurses? Should women over 25 be disallowed to get a job so that they can concetrate on getting married?
I already have my opinions on these questions but I would much like to hear your views on these contentious issues. Please give reasons for your answers.

What do you think 'makes' love? Are there things that have to exist in a relationship, like trust and a willingness to sacrifice, in order for there to be love, or is it just something that is there?

I'm 3 months into my job as a manager for a drug store and I've realized that whenever serious trouble comes along it is always the same person over and over and over again.
for example there's this guy that whenever he finishes paying he always swears there's something wrong with his receipt and before I can explain he demands that I let him have the items for free because he would have suffered a loss if he hadn't noticed it. Each time his imaginary losses are no more than $1. This is also located in an upper middle class neighborhood where $1 is no big deal. Then there's this woman who tends to bug someone once every 30 secs to see if her pictures are ready even after we tell her it'll be about 10 minutes.
This is getting me thinking. Do some people just come in looking to cause trouble or can they just never be satisfied?

This bully really thought he was the toughest guy in school. He had us all in fear. He beat, kicked, and insulted me on a daily basis for 3 (gr8-10) years. All of the bullies and mean girls were no shows at my high school reunion. I was disappointed. Today, I'm 6 ft, 200 lbs, ex military, 4 year degree, and a black belt. I can beat him today. None of my old bullies will return my emails. I regret not fighting back in high school, and today's wannabe tough guys don't mess with me. I want to face my old bullies. The fear disappeared, but the hate just grew over the years.

Some people seem to have stupid goggles on when it comes to this issue. More and more houses are up for sale or have been forclosed on right? That means more people can not afford houseing. Where do they go?

When a person goes on unemployment and it runs out the government does not count them as being unemployed even if they are. So the stats are wrong. What happens to these people?

People consitantly live in dept to survive, but when they run out of credit to provide for there needs where do they go?

They say the job market is strong, but what is the solid evidence for that?The number of people in this country to the number jobs that are out there widely disporportionate. Is minum wage considered a good job? Considering getting one minumum wage job is hard and you need three jobs just to make ends meet what happens to you when you can't?
When you run out of gas for even a job interview what happens to you?Really what do you think happens to the poor?

I know you're supposed to take nothing extra but seriously, what would you grab? I always told myself, I would grab my keys, purse and an extra pair of clothes. Silly huh? The reason why I ask is because the fire alarm just finished going off and I had to think what the awful noise was and ran and grabbed my son who was asleep. Also grabbed a pair of pants and managed to put them on while moving. (if I tried it now, i probably couldn't do it because i just had a baby.) And my keys so I could lock the door, given I live in a tower(apartment).

If my dad died tomorrow, I wouldn't really care! He's made my life very difficult, he's made it clear, he really doesn't like me, and he's just such a negative person, anytime your around him you feel a very negative vibe. I don't wish he died, I don't think you should wish death on nobody, but if he was to die, I wouldn't really feel bad, is that wrong.

do you expect to get your money back? ( o _ 0 ) Normally I lean towards never seeing my money again. Why? Because people that ask to borrow money didn't have it in the first place. So I know they're not going to be expedient in recipocating what they borrowed? I said my last statement with a question mark because it's not entirely true. Maybe 60 to 70% of people won't pay up? Your thoughts.

She will inevitably try to say it is "racism" just like she did when the people in that French purse store didn't recognize her and did not open back up after closing for the day. There is a segment of blacks that are like that. They blame racism on everything. Yawn. Just like Michael Vick. Blacks that understand what I am talking about know that many blacks fought for civil rights and they would say this is not racism. Equal treatment means that you open yourself up to criticism - it doesn't mean that you will be treated with kid gloves. Face it Oprah - you are a bully and it isn't about race - it is about your arrogance that has been brought on by your extreme wealth.
