2/3 of this world's populatoin is dying from starvation. people die from diseases in thjird world countries every single day. and then we worry about little things like, "omg! i have nothing to wear tomorrow! i am going to DIE!" or "ugh! i hope andrew asks me out." and we dont value anything we have in america(assuming you live here.) we have so many freedoms. half the ppl in this world are told what religion to practice and how. and if this world was made up of a 100 people, ony one would get college education. we have clean water. and im not talking about ozarka or dasani either. im talking about freshwater to drink. only a third of the world has access to it. and we dont realize how lucky we are that we can say what we think and not be affraid of going to jail; we have food to eat. ppl in africa and places like these cant even fathom too much food would be a problem. its only america that has a problem with obesity

i just wanted to share that.

performance enhancers is a worthless junky who deserves to be stripped of everything? Because Babe Ruth did not use steriods. Frank Lloyd Wright did not use autocad, are modern architects posers and cheaters. Steriods do not hit a ball or train hours a day anymore than Bobo the chimp can design structural wonders with autocad programs.

I am not a racist, I am a full blooded Lakota Sioux with a simple question. I wonder why all of a sudden there are so many people claiming Native blood. It used to be, when I was a child, that no one claimed to be Indian, like it was a cursed race or something. But now, when people recognize me as Indian, the first few things I hear, especially from whites, is, "Hey, you're Indian? Me, too! My mom...(grandpa, aunt, sister, grandma...) is Indian and I'm like half so cool!" Most of the people I come across don't look anything close to having ANYTHING mixed in them, much less native blood. Anyone have an explanation to this sudden growth of "I
m an Indian" claims?

My mother wakes up one mornning and finds a light bulb on the floor of my brother room's, that was neatly placed, taken from the ceiling light in his room. She looks at it, and says "that's weird", and throws it away. Later on, she asks all of the four people in the house if they came in the room took the light bulb out the light and neatly placed it in the middle of the floor. we all said no, and we were not lying.

We formulated that between the hours of 10:00 pm and 7:00am, someone or something came in the room and took the light.

Here are some possibilities-
-My sleeping walking dad unintentionally took the light bulb. But then my mom always catches when he sleeps walks.
-I did it when I sleeped walked, but very unlikely
-a ghost giving us a sign
- a man hiding in our house

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE JUSTIFY HOW THIS COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HAPPENED.

I will say - my personal opinion is slavery was horrible. It was a crime against humanity but to understand it better, one must READ and look at what was going on at the time. How many black people do you think even know it was their OWN tribes, their own people who tortured, beat, and kidnapped them to bring them to slave traders? And even BEFORE the Europeans even landed in Africa so don't go blaming the Europeans for drumming up the business. The African slave trade was in full force amongst its own tribes and people well before the Europeans ever got to Africa. So, my question is - why don't black people in America ever get pissed about that? I'm only talking about those black people who constantly think of themselves as victims to white oppression because of slavery. They were oppressed originally because of their own people! It was wrong for Europeans to look at people as property but that's how it was back then. You can't continue to blame all white people for this.

Look, I just tell it like I see it and I've encountered many black people in my life who are JUST AS RACIST as any other person out there. They are the first group to yell racist from the highest mountain but then they are much worse about being racist themselves. For one, alot of black people inherantly HATE white people and judge them all as a group. How can they judge the white people for doing exactly the same thing they're doing?! Does that even make sense? Black people are the first to judge, criticize, and lump everyone together but if a white person does it, he's called a RACIST. Well, what the hell does that make you then?

Why do more black people not speak out against racism amongst themselves? If they're going to hold the rest of the world to one standard, shouldn't they also hold themselves to that standard as well? To me, it's really hypocritical and b.s.

Truth hurts....oh well.

If our lives could be rated or evaluated by the Yahoo abuse panel? Just how many violations, would you be expecting, and how many could you argue over, and say you didn't deserve?


And, thanks to nick nolte for the idea of this question!

I would rather visit Greece then Turkey. People in Turkey are very pushy, the men and women are sooo pushy. They force you to visit their whole family grand parents their paretns and on the second date they send a ring flowers and their whole family to your door to marry them but in Greece I had such a great time eveyr time I go there. Turks I find them very violent and very agressive which does nto go with my personal taste at all but if you tell them about their horrible attitude, they come after you and they harass you for ever. I love Greek men,No Turks should get close to me please. I am American and not Armenian! THey think you have to be Armenian in order not to like them for some reason, very strange!In Eruope they do not like them, they are all over Germany adn Europe all the time stealing men pushing Germans and european to marry them on second date,be very careful please when you visit Turkey in the future! I am afraid to go back there again!
