whether it be a group of people or a following.....who are the people that are clearly working for good, a better earth to live in.....and who are those who are corrupt, perverse, bad...and are creating more evil in the world?

if it was like a police line up, would you be able to clearly point them out distinctly?
and will the forces of good eventually win? or right now is it in the balance?

I am 13 1/2 and i feel really sad like all of the time. I am partially emo, not like hard core, but enough to be considered emo. And i am overweight, in the process of losing a little bit of weight. im not too much overweight though.

it seems like most of my life i am just a sad person. In school, since i go to a private school, their arent many kids in it, so there arent many different kind of people. All the girls in the school are preps except for me, so while finding somewhere to sit at lunch, i sit at a random table every day because i dont fit in. i dont have many friends. i used to have three close friends, then the turned on me and treated me like sh**. No one really likes me in school, except i have a few guy friends

and in my family life, well no one seems to like me. My cousin really close to my age likes my older sisters and their boyfriends more than me, and the rest of my family bassically ignores me.

why do i feel so sad?

I was reading a yahoo news article today, and most of the comments were constructive, but there were a few that were really messed up and downright vicious. You see this on Yahoo answers too. People leaving notes that have little to do with the person's question. They just want to write something foul or mean. Are they kids? Are they just immature? I'd love to know your thoughts...

Has the art of spelling correctly AND using correct grammar become a thing of the past? With the advent of internet and text messaging, it just seems our youth and younger adults (25 and younger), have very limited skill-sets when it comes to writing anything and everything- ex. simple emails to resumes. What can be done (besides hitting the spell check button)?

On October 7-13, 2007, straight people across the nation will "come out" as supporters of equal rights for gay and lesbian Americans.

From Santa Rosa, California, to Montgomery, Alabama, to Augusta, Maine, overnight vigils will light up American cities, providing unprecedented visibility to heterosexual men and women with the conviction to stand up for their gay and lesbian friends and neighbors.

This grassroots groundswell, dubbed Seven Straight Nights for Equal Rights, was initiated by Soulforce and Atticus Circle, two Texas-based organizations with members across the nation. With their support, straight community leaders are organizing vigils in towns like Greenville, South Carolina, Shreveport, Louisiana, Duluth, Minnesota, and Salem, Oregon.

I mean, think about it. It's inevitable. Nobody is exempt. And sometimes, death can be a welcome relief from pain. Most people who believe in an afterlife seem to think that it's going to be much better than this earthly life.

So why, when we're faced with death, do we try so hard to avoid it? Why do we try to postpone it for as long as possible?

I've just read a story in the NOTW Sunday magazine about a 36 year old man who suffered 'cyber-bullying' by 363 students at Kent university. A hate site had been formed on Facebook where these kids had signed up to say how much they wanted to kill this guy. The only thing he had done was tell people to be quiet while they were in the uni library where he worked as a noise patrol officer.
These kids parents thought their offspring were getting an education and all the time they were finding new ways to make someones life a misery. In the worst possible way.
So far the man has received an apology from four of the eight ringleaders. No one has been punished and the sight has been shut down. Not Good Enough!! If any of these kids were mine I'm afraid I would be withdrawing any kind of funding I had provided towards their education and they would be shown the door. Simple as. The internet may be a wonderful thing but in the wrong hands it is the worst invention ever.

I don't see why people like me, the average Joe, have to apologise for slavery. The rich and their descendents must apologise for it, not us. The working class suffered due to slavery as we starved to death as slavery was cheap labour which meant that the rich didn't care if our crops failed. If anyone should apologise or compensate, it should be Tate and Lyle or Barclays Bank or similar companies plus the coastal African ethnic traders who profited (who have kept strangely quiet about the issue). The British were enslaved by the Romans, but in retrospect, the Romans were good for us by teaching us civilisation. I don't see us calling for compensation from the Italians. Whatever the evils of slavery were, nobody is suffering from it nowadays apart from the wage slaves and the slaves of prostitution. We need to free these people. Discuss....(?)

That when we (Americans) deport Illegal Criminals back to their own country that we send them to a "different" one instead.

You know like the young Mexican immigrant on America's Most Wanted (from Saturday night) who killed his girlfriend and fled. He was found in Nevada and after he stands trial, we send him back to Mexico, what if we send him to the Dominic Republic instead. Or how about Iran. Would this be funny, justice or the "American Way" with a twist?

The number of homeless and little help from the US. Instead we concentrate on other countries poverty. Racial disputes, stereotyping, fighting someone elses wars and not taking care of our own in every aspect. We should say the land of the free, but the home of the poor.

Someone who has a University degree
or someone who has been trained at a College?

I am Canadian. Here, University's are centres for Acadamia and research, and Colleges are centres for training for "hands on" careers. This is slowly changing as more and more colleges are offering degrees for such things as Accounting and Nursing.

As I understand it, in the US - Universities are academic, but Community Colleges are more designed for hands on training. If this is not so, please let me know.... but the question is,
in whom do you place more respect: a person who has a University degree, or a person who has a College certificate or College training?

I am also aware that many of you treat everyone with equal respect, however I would appreciate if you really thought about this question please.
Thank you so much. :)

They originated from the Isrealites, so are Jews Isreali? When you ask a person whose background is Isreali and who is a Jew what ethnicity they are, would they say, "I'm Isreali". For some reason, I have a feeling they would say, "I'm Jewish". But Judaism is a religion, and there are people of other ethnicities who are Jewish, too. So do people call Jews Isreali?

My other question is.. are all people from Isreal Jewish? I mean people born in Isreal. Can they be of other religions?

What about Isreali people born in the US, Briton, Australia, etc who are like 3rd, 4th, 5th generation Isreali-Americans etc? Can they be of other religions?

I'm very sorry 2 say that i believe she is dead

Even if it wasnt her parents and it was a stranger or if a peadophile had her, he wud of long of got rid of her as she is too well known now, and far to risky to hold on to.

Im certainly not wishing her dead but i think now its time to face facts

...like how in the US Asians are called 'Asian-American'.

What about black people? African-British or African-English??

I don't think I've ever heard these terms before.. I've only ever heard the '...-American' variety.

As a Malaysian, we know that our country have many difference races,cultures and religions.Because of that, we have many Pantang Larang..In your opinion,do you agree with donate your organs after you have leave this world? Explain Why?

I think i better start with my own opinion first.I am only 15years old and i have sign up as a donor in Malaysia since i was 13years old.I have a will and mind to sign up this since i was standard 2. That's because my mum went to sign up as a donor on a road show so by that time i told my mum i want to sign up also but by that time my mum don't know it doesn't has any age limit in signing up as a donor so i didn't sign up till i was in form 1. I think parents played the most important role in encourage their children to be kind even they have past away.Anyway, i can't guaranteed all my organs are functioning well because i am a very weak since i was born.

*this is not a debate so please don't fight over this issue here.
*No critisizing here.
