Yeah, I hate terrorist. What does innocent air travellers have to do with politics. because terrorist are scum... they pick on people who don't even arm themselves... what do tourist and innocent people have to do with politics... if ya got beef... take it like a honorable person and take it up with military. Declare war. Not civilians.
I agree with this statement. I do not believe that the people on those flights had anything to do with the shitty or not so shitty lives of terrorists, im sure not many of them have ever even been to the middle east or killed any of those terrorists family or friends. I would say the same of the Fireman who gave or risked their lives to help people in need. i dont believe they killed any terrorist friends or family members, or that they went over to these people native countries and took food out of their mouths or made their life shitty in any way.

I'm not any of these races. lol. I feel so confused.
There is no such thing as world peace. its in human nature to want more and to take it from someone else. Humans from everywhere believe that their way is right/ their religion is right and etc. etc. as long as there are humans there is going to be war.
I was in the U. S. Army for a couple of years and my husband is over there in the sands right now. i have been around the military for years now and soldiers do get in trouble and have to obey laws. and they have to follow orders, other wise they can put their lives and the lives of their fellows in peril. soldiers cant do whatever ever they want where ever they want. i have been living overseas for 4 years and i have known soldiers who get convicted for breaking laws. soldiers get tickets and have to pay them and all that stuff. there are reasons for JAG and SOFA agreements. There are lots of soldiers getting hurt from sneaky ass suicide bobers and such so they have to be careful. sometimes you dont have time to check to see if people are too dangerous or not especially if they dont follow instructions such as HALT or Dont come any closer or you will be shot. I would like my friends and family to come back home alive.
A person can have morals and be naked at the same time.
I have a lot of female friends and we talk about these type of things. A lot of womens point is that women should be able to wear what they want and not be judged. i know a lot of men who dress to be sexy and women dont grope them in the streeets. and another point is even if a woman wears jeans and a t shirt (some) men still act like dogs. and all this talk of being a whore, clothes dont make a whore, having sex for money does. and it seems men are wanting sex enough to pay for it. or want to pay money for a magazine to see some breasts. it doesnt bother me because i can understand that men are men and you just have to know how to deal with them. i learned early how to deal with it. and in that one video with Lil kim she was talking about how a woman will be called slutty just as folks are doing but a man can do the same thing and not be called slutty or a whore. i have seen videos with men in them surrounded by naked or half naked women and no one says That man is such a slut. and men do try to sell sexuality in videos and and on other televised things. you just have to be a woman to realize it. men showing off their muscles or just dressed really nice lookin sweaty and soo sexy, lol. anywayz. Some women just happen to have more control and a mans looks is not that important to a lot of women. And women like to look good , its natural for a woman to want to be sexy. society even tells young girls to dress like this and boys will like you and what not.
and about being pissed off about what happened to folks ancestors. if you think about it slavery was only a couple generations ago. im african american or whatever you want to call it but i aint mad at anybody.one reason is because if it had not happened i would not be who, what, and where i am today. if i want to complain about what happened to my african peoples i have to take responsibity for what my europian and native american ancestors also. im just fair that way. but there is racism today, like i said before which i didnt see anyone comment on was that racism is not the problem its stereotypes and discrimination. my mother was alive when they were lynchin black people in trees. it was not that long ago. it takes time for things to recover. black people want some black pride and all that because its needed not because its anti white. and doing racist or sexist things to anyone of any race is illigal. they call it racist hate crimes not crimes against black people. i know i say to mush but maybe im hoping to help people understand something of what its like. i have never experienced out right racism TO MY FACE. but there are those who whisper things or whatever but it doesnt bother me, i just feel sorry for people who cant be color blind about things or are just plain ignorant.
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!
just because something is pro black does not make it anti white. that is a stupid thing to believe. all clothing companies care about is money. and i could name a couple of racist clothing designers that dont like african americans wearing their shit. they wear it anyway though. and another thing if u dont like FUBU clothes then maybe you shouldnt wear them and if you do like such clothes then wear them. who gives a shit what you wear. blah blah blah, etc. etc. etc.
Keep the Peace
i like horror movies even though none of them have ever scared me, but i will give props to House On Haunted Hill. that movie was funny at some parts and it gave me the creeps. i wouldnt watch it too late at night. Jeepers Creepers (that music was creepy).
Thanx for the info. i will check back later.
There is still the issue that Black people are not African people. Black people are mixed. so all this talk of brain size and what not can be irrelevent, especially if you are more than one race or two or three.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make sigs?? i would like to make some myself. :)
" Think about it. Indians are the only minority that's had as much trouble as blacks. Why? Both races had their cultures shattered by the white man. All the other groups-Irish, Italians, Vietnamese, whatever- may have come here destitute, but they brought one thing with them. Their natinal identities. Their sense of self. They congregated together in the cities and on the planins, like with like. They maintained their cultural identities-religoins,customs,names- until they were secure enough to assimilate. Blacks had no chance to do that.They were stolen from their country, brought here in chains, sold as property. Their families split, their religion beaten out of them, their names changed. Nothing was left. No identity. And they've never recovered."
"And you parallel that with Naive Americans?"
"It's the same experience, only in reverse. The Indians weren't stolen from their land, their land was stolen from them. And their culture was systematically destroyed. They've never recovered either, despite a host of government programs to help them."
Caitlen stops writing. "Thats an interesting analogy."
" If you dont know who you are, you cant find your way.There are exceptions, of course. Bright spots. But my point is that whites dont look at blacks with the right perspective. We see look at them like an immigrant group that cant get its shit together."

P.S.
There isnt a lot of Racism against "white" people. but there is descrimination, stereotypes, and prejudice(pre-judge). But that goes for all ppl everywhere. we as human beings like to group things together and organize things so ppl make stereotypes. Things such as Black pride and BET and all that is just something to help black people find their culture. a lot of people think black/african american/colored/brown skinned people are African. but thats not true. my step father is African so i experienced the differences first hand. Africans have their languge, culture and religion. wherei come from there are lots and lots of africans and there is some distintion between the two. i happen to be black , and i experienced a certain bit of racism from africans , i wouldnt call it racism but some(not all) africans look down on black people because of we are not as pure as they are and we are so americanized. but nonblack ppl would group blacks and africans together so sometimes a black person can feel inbetween or dislocated .things like FUBU and BET can help a person find a culture and pride at who they are so black people can get their shit together. its needed. and another thing there are things like "WET" as you put it , it just isnt called that. i have seen many a show with not a minority person to be seen for a hunnerd miles, lol. to make the world a better place we need to get rid of steretypes and prejudice against or about all the peoples of the world. such things as cops and rodney king and all that crap is that a lot of times some cops will stereotype a black person as guilty before it is proven to be so. diferent places have diferent views, i lived in L.A. for about 2 months and i left and never went back. so some ppl may not understand a place or a people if they have not been there themselves. i will speak more on this later, lol.
P.S.S.
i do not mean to offend anyone with my comments. :)
i havent been to the beach in a loooong time. i miss the waves.

Here we go.. I believe that there is a GOD. that does not mean that GOD is going to wipe your ass for you. if your life sucks then fix it your self. its that simple. In this life maybe bad people get some good things and vice versa but in the afterlife your ass is grass or vice versa. life is hard because people make it that way. we have freedom of thought and all that. Most pain and suffering in the world is brought on by other people. life is not fair because we people make it that way.
I also like men with long hair.
I got lots and lots of time on my hands.
I'm not into females. But i like Dark haired MEN!
I would probably steal a couple identities then go on home. LOL.
