...what would you do on your last day. For example would you finally tell those annoying customers where to go, or say something to your least favourite colleague? Go on, be creative.

I AM NOT RACIST, I just have an observation...

I just finished flipping through a 199 page catalog. I don't want to name the store, but it was a national department store located in every state. While looking through the catalog, I noticed that almost all the models were white, male and female. I saw 1 black male and about 3 black women, that looked white. By "looking white", I mean that they were of the lightest shade with long flowing hair, thin nose, and other Caucaian features.

It is just a question, but why don't you think this catalog included any dark-skinned models? I know I' not the only that has noticed this. I very closely resemble my avatar, and I love my color, but it bothers me that when we view tv, magazines, etc. that are mainly geared toward a white audience, the only "token" still looks white.

I'm not making this up. Why?

Why is it that no matter where you go in the world where there are people of varying hues, preference for light skin is almost universal. All of Latin America, India, Thailand, China, Japan, Philippines, America, etc. I even remember reading that the reason Native S. Americans were so trusting of whites initially when they came to the new world is because they had legends about a white deity that would come to them some day. I know everyone says it's the media and movies, but the light skin preference is so widespread across so many cultures that I'm wondering if there could be some inborn preference. I've heard studies before that suggest this, but I'm not sure how in depth they were. I mean is there one nation on earth where dark skin people are preferred over the light ones? I can't think of any examples.

Why do people consider their generation superior to their predecessors? Do you really believe in such theories and such people? Are you turned on by such individuals?

I read in a report the other day, the American congress has a approval rating lower than that of the president. It stated that the president has an approval rating of over 20%. While this is not great, it is better than the congressional approval rating which was listed at 11%. 11%!!! Are these not the people who are supposed to act as a one of the checks and balances against the executive branch? If we don't approve of them, how can we expect them to keep the president in line? Now, I am not saying that this survey is 100% accurate, because no survey is, but it does shed some light on how the American people feel regarding our congress men and women. If they are so corrupt and out of favor with the American public, why are we not pushing for congressional term limits? This would end alot of the bickering and corruption in our government, because they could no longer use their positions as a platform for political power. How could one go about starting a movement to push this?

Americans objectify their women. Make women believe their worth is based on looks, playboy covers and not on character or personality.American females starve themselves and engage in self destructive behavior, promiscuity etc.
Americans downgrade women so much, they are afraid to have a female president.
Even Muslim countries have had a female Prime Minister.
Are Americans hypocrites?
