what im about to say is 100% true,and politically inncorrect.Here you go,do you wanna know why there so many illegal immagrants in the us,because they can make more money here,why can they make more money here,because of white people,do u know why u can get a good education,a job with benefits here,because of white people,do u know why this is the richest most powerfull country in the world,bacause of white people,white people give outher races the best chance to succeed in every category of life.I challenge any 1,but mostly black people,to come up with 1 country where u have more chances,u cant.Of course black people will say whites keep them down in this country,funny in Africa where they are all 3rd world countries,there are no white people to blame.White people have so much wealth,power,and connections not only do they own the usa but the world.And if another race was capable of doing that they would be in charge wouldnt they.

Than things going on in the word that could potentially affect our lives or the lives of others?

Do you think that is a warning sign that our society is slowly deteriorating and that in the future the Societies of "Free" countries will be dictated by a small handful of wealthy. I.e. Similar to that England and France in the 1700s thru late 1800s?

Seems to me the majority are on here asking for people to do it for them. Whatever happened to parents helping their kids with homework? Just goes to show the devaluation of family in our society.

and child abusers and murders in nice warm prisons with 3 meals a day, cable TV and internet access? Not to mention work out rooms and all the free education and health benefits available to them.

Here's an idea:
Let's put criminals in less desirable surroundings and open the prisons to the homeless and people in need?

Agree?

My grandmother will be 65 3/08, and we're getting info about Medicare. I handle these things for her, and took the intro book home to read. Honestly, I don't know where to begin! Part A, Part B, Part C, Part D, Med Advantage vs Med Orginal...OMG! She does currently have a healthcare plan, which I know she'll need to keep after signing up with Medicare. I will be speaking with a Medicare specialist, not til next week, so, I'd love to hear any experienced voices with this! What is the first step in deciding what to do? My gram and I appreciate the feedback, folks!

When I was a child there were 9 planets. Now there are 8.
Both of these are opinions, and both are probably wrong, but there are generations of Americans who believe one of these opinions to be fact.
The same could be said about any of the various creation myths, including Darwin's evolution theory, and the current "big bang" theory that is the commonly acceptable scientific opinion.
All cultures and traditions have creation stories. Why is one "fact", later to be debunked, and all the rest, invalid, and not to be taught.
The purpose of an education is to teach people how to learn, not what to learn.
I think that the current "thought police" who are determining what is taught in school, are as bad as the Church was in the middle ages, when it was considered heresy if you didn't believe that the earth was flat, and anyone who allowed for any othere possibility, was likely to be burned at the stake.
So much for our evolution as a spiecies.

your cell phone or electronic dies?
or when you hear about the thousands of poor sickly human beings dying all over the world every day?

answer honestly. even if you just answer it in your mind. just something to stop and think about. i see and hear so much complaining from people every day.. in real life, but especially on tel-LIE-vision. when are people in this country going to stop for a second and realize that there are more important things happening in this world than some silly situation going on in their own life? that question i know will never be answered..

I tried posting this in another section with more details, but people missed the point.

A celebrity's "people" have said their client is being treated harshly in the court system because they are famous.

On the news an "expert came on and said "this person is not being treated harslhy beacause they are a celebrity. The judges are just under pressure to make an example of celebrities."

So if the person was not a celebrity wouldn't the judge not be trying to make an example out of them? And therefore not judging them quite so harshly?
