The question that prompted me to post:

"Can a governor with a past history of illegal drug use be a good role model? "

Sept. 8, 2006, 12:59PM Friedman has personal insight into drug problems Candidate admits he was on cocaine as a musician By R.G. RATCLIFFE Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle Austin Bureau AUSTIN — Independent gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman said Thursday he can be critical of "crackheads" in Ho...

Because racism is a tool of the powerful and greedy, and we've allowed it to become its own problem independant of class. We might share the same living conditions, nationality, prob. even food, and religion, but we have been seperated by race, therefore seperating us regardless of class. That's it...

Have you read anything by Ruby Payne? She studies cycles of poverty and a lot of what you posted here mirrors her books.

ey man everything wud have been iight if white people jst looked at us the same n treated us the same and every nigga in this forum knows they don robbed a white boi befo Everybody has been screwed over in one form or fashion. We are at the point now in history where if YOU don't decide to make a d...

I had a professor in college who made Malcolm X's biography a mandatory read. I resisted and complained, because all I knew about him is what I had heard from teachers. I read the book, and it's one of the few that I have kept from college. Because of that, I make sure that every year, I teach about...

I have read the Edda ( the Viking Bible), and the basic message was: drink more, kill more. Actually, the Eddas are more about how to treat visitors than anything else. They used gods as a way to explain things - if you look at the Anglo-Saxon way of life and how hard it was, it makes perfect sense...

I'm not going to get into the argument with people over their personal beliefs, because if you believe it's evil, then that's your perogative. However, do a little research obefore you start saying it's of the devil. Again, I am going to post this link because it doesn't seem like anyone is throwing...

I get the feeling that that mopof blondeness isn't her real hair. Maybe it's because everything else is sillicone. And for record, boobs shouldn't be rectangular. If you see angles, run away.

Well, to be honest, wiki's aren't what I'd call a credible source. And, to give you credit, I don't think ALL instances of homosexuality are genetic. I have met some people who just had to be DIFFERENT. I don't think homosexuality is a situation where one asnwer will all cases. How do you explain ho...

People are against finding a homosexual gene. No, It is because a Homosexual Gene does not exists. Researchers and Interest groups have been trying to decipher for 40 years of intense research, time after time they find themselves inapt, because the Gene itself is non-existent. Can you find me a so...

People are against finding a homosexual gene. First of all, for the conservatives, it would mean that some cases of homosexuality are genetic. Liberals are against because if they find that it's genetic, they are scared that people will identify the gene in fetuses and abort the. Personally, I could...

School districts are a business. They do have to make a profit????? I guess. Well at least private schools. I've worked for a private school in administration and I couldn't believe the greed. It was all about getting paid at the expense of the poor students. The school district gets money for the ...

Texas has a really good reputation for it's educational programs. Maybe California can adopt the same or similar programs. Right now, the Los Angeles Mayor is trying to take over Los Angeles Unified School District. He's getting lot's of opposition for it. I guess he feels he can do a better job th...

Are Black Panthers considered "gangs"?

this girl was the all american beauty fu-- That, She looked like any regualr ol' white girl. Poor kid. She looked like Glamour Shots exploded on her face. I feel sorry that she doesn't seem to have any normal little kid pictures - just the ones where she has been sprayed down with hair spray and ma...

I think people got interested in this case because they thought the parents were turning their child into an object, but that doesn't your observations aren't correct. The media represents the values of society on a whole. I don't think it's that the media is controlling things here, they are just g...

I have a degree in philosophy specialing in moral issues, and I still don't have my mind made up. My issue is that you will never be able to know how effective the death penalty is as a deterrent because they were deterred from doing the crime. I have never had a family meber or someone close to me ...

Anesis: Are you a school teacher? If so, what grade level. I teach 9th/12th grade English at an alternative campus, but most of my students are 16 years or older. Many are drop-outs coming back to school, single parents, students with criminal histories, or just have failed in the traditional schoo...

And the same people that are always there protesting executions were there again tonight, I'm sure. All two of them. The only time people ever get excited about the death penalty is when the media gets involved.

I took a tour of the death chamber that he died in. Creepy stuff.

you don't even have to have a controlld experiment to see that this still exist. blacks have been programmed for so long to think that black is evil/ugly and white is holy/angelic that you can go into target or wal-mart and see black children picking out white dolls. 9 times out of 10 if you ask a ...

The title give me the impression that this was an intentional thing, but after reading the artcile, I get the impression that the driver had to make a seating chart. I think there is more to this story than just this article. I can't believe that anyone would make a mistake like that in this day and...

He's in SHARPS. I talked to a few people yesterday and read up on it a bit. He explained it to me, but I always want to double check and read up on what they talk about.

Thanks.

Not sure what Cali's sex offender registry is like but in CT it gives the offender's "history". It does here too. Gives a pic of them too. We get the pic, the offense, and the age/sex of the victim, but that's it. I mean, I think anymore detail would be gross, but I think in any case, there is more...

So, I suppose the name "skinhead" got hijacked like the swastika?

You have to be very carfeul, because the webpage doesn't give many details. I know of at least one situation where a friend of mine ended with wirh four years in prison for a situation like this and there was NO EVIDENCE to convict him. The prosecuting attorney said that because my friend's bathroom...

I had a student today announce today to the class that he was a skinhead who is fighting against racisim. I asked his definition of a "skinhead" and what he described is what I would have called "punk". Is his a common definition? He really was adamant that he was not a neo-Nazi or racist, but do yo...

Is there a site that identifies gang hand signs? The searches that I found are pretty useless for what I want. I'm finding lots of great graffiti sites, but nothing with hand signs. I saw something today that I want to identify. He had his thumbs together and pointing up and his pointer fingers toge...

to one of their friends getting sodomized with a pipe and being left for dead because he was "a filthy Mexican". Where was my white privelege when I was raped because I am a woman? Where was that sh*t then? I don't mean to sound callous, but you just said that you were raped because you were a woma...

everytime the word is used, it's a slap in the face of those who would use it. The only people who use that word are uneducated, cruel, and stupid what exactly are you trying to say here? because the only ones i hear saying it, are the ones who retaliate at my saying it. It's from Huck Finn. You br...
