let's say you just met the person. you don't like them because of how the way they look. you think that they are just ugly.Is that being prejudice?

Two weeks ago, somebody asked about the longest marriage on record between two people . One answer came from a person who saw a ninety -- seven year old man and his ninety -- three year old wife who had been married for eighty years on "Regis and Kelly" . They were married when he was seventeen and she was thirteen . Does anybody remember seeing this episode ? Does anybody know where I can find the names of this couple ?

It takes 1000's and 1000's of years for them to think up these things yet in the past 100 years it seems like 'most of it' happened. For instance, car , tv, computer, space ... Before that how come no one hardly ever thought of anything? How could in 1000's of years no one think of a CAR. And they say man invented the 'wheel', i cant imagine how one could not think of inventing the wheel. Was 'man' less intelligent in the past or has he became smarter the past 100 years?

--The so-called "white tree" at Jena High, often reported to be the domain of only white students, was nothing of the sort, according to teachers and administrators; students of ALL races, they say, congregated under it at one time or another.
--Two nooses, not three, were found dangling from the tree. Beyond being offensive to blacks, the nooses were cut down because black and white students "were playing with them, pulling on them, swinging from them, and putting their heads through them," according to a BLACK teacher who witnessed the scene.
--The three youths accused of hanging the nooses were NOT suspended for three days -- they were isolated at an alternative school for about a month, and then given two weeks probation.

Yes, I know, a lot of black people name their children traditional Judeo-Christian names. But others use names like "Lastacia" or "Lamika." I've heard some white people insult those names, but I don't understand why. I think they're really pretty.

I mean, I also met a "Leukemia" and a "Placenta," and those are awful.. obviously.. but why do people have a problem with creating names instead of using the same ones people have been using for 2000 years or so?

So for a dare I made a fake profile of a teacher, I didn't mean to do any harm but I guess I did so now I have to pay...

here's what I wrote so far, another teacher said it was fine just to add mroe details about how and why and when...etc...

Dear ____

Apology

Deciding to make a profile of a teacher seemed fun at first but I didn't think of the consequences. I didn't realize how wrong it was. I intend to apologize for what I did.

I wondered what would happen if someone made a fake profile of someone, a friend suggested it once as a dare but no one went through with it, I did.
I didn't think it would be taken so seriously it was just to prove I could, the information wasn't even that accurate.
I didn't mean to cause any harm with what I did.

I am apologizing for the impersonation I have done and any inconvenience caused, hopefully you will accept my apology.

that younger brother gives his big brother at the end of the commercial? I know, but do you? I haven't seen or heard that descripton used in 40 years!

Who can be the first to say what it implies (you'll have to be creative in spelling it out because the key word is on Yahoo's no-no list and would ordinarily be masked out)?

I personally think that by banning makeup at school it would work in a sort of chain reaction to slow down the rate at which children grow up these days. Makeup was not supposed to be worn back when I was at school seven years ago but girls wore it and the boys got interested. I think if it was banned all together, the girls would be less competitive over their looks, the boys wouldn't be so interested, children would fit in together better and generally wouldn't grow up so fast. This is only my opinion but I am interested to hear yours. If you are at school, please don't hurl childish comments at me without thinking them over first. I would like to hear thoughtful ideas from people who are at school and either agree or disagree though.
Thanks!

People that you know are fake and you can see right through them? I have a hard time with this. I don't handle people who are fake. I just feel like I can see right through most people and I am usually right. My problem is I don't know how to just ignore it and realize it is not my problem...Do you feel that most people don't have good intentions to begin with? Are we made to be honest, trust worthy, caring people or have we just been conditioned that way? Is it so wrong to be selfish? Or should we just watch out for ourselves?
