I agree with you 100%, a lot of people are still driven by stereotypes, and hate. Some people may find their questions amusing. Some people may not have had the opportunity or desire to understand people. There really isn't much difference amongst people of different races or genders. We all need to eat, we all need shelter, we all long for love and acceptance. We all get sick, we all bleed. We all use the toilet. Let's broader our horizons and ways of thinking we are all humans trying to live, period.

no matta how far we have advanced as a people racism still exists. Our forefathers have cushioned it for us a little  though and we have it a few ways better than our grandfather or grandmother or even our ancestors have had it. but it still exisits. racism now has taken on a few new forms though. experts have argued orgin of where racism began. Some say it was taught through parents. others would say racism is learned. but where ever racism has come from it still exisits. People just hate each other for a reason or we sterotype each other and judge each other and make assumptions that keep us from trusting or talking to differnet race. My father argues its only white and black in the world no asian no japenses no irish no french no nothing it is just black and white. I believe different. I have nothing against no one or no race if i dislike a person it is because i cant stand them not b/c of how they look

Times change my dear. I've traveled the world quiet a bit, including the Middle East. I saw poverty in a lot of places like you would not believe unless you see it with your own eyes!! We have problems in our country like any place but you still can't beat it! If you live in America, kiss the ground and be thankful.

Yes!  It's political correctness gone mad!  Everyone is so obsessed with p.u.s.s.y footing around all the minorities of the world and changing this and that so as not to offend their supposedly fragile sense of self worth.  It makes me mad as Hell to see all of the current beliefs, ideals and interpretations on our own perception of the the world messed with and changed in order to incorporate the views of the few.  We should all stick to what we know and believe in regardless of what others think.

The problem appears to be mainly in Europe.  I've seen that special.  Europe has not had a civil rights movement like we've had here in the States.  This is one of the things that separates us from the rest of the world.  We are at least trying to do something about racism.  In Europe it has always been accepted; look at all the "ethnic cleansing" that has, and still goes on.  People in the States just don't know how lucky they are.  Anybody who think that they have it so bad here, should try living outside the US for a few years.  Not just visit, but actually live there.  They will come back to the US and be thankful that their country is trying to make everyone's quality of life better.

Because we're not about saving oppressed people.  There are millions of oppressed people in the world, and we don't do much for them.  We only use the rationale of tyrants and dictators oppressing their people when it suits our economic interests to apply pressure on the governments in power.  \n\nIts not about democracy- its about economics.\n\nLook at Darfur.  There's millions dead there, and Bush hasn't even blinked.\n\nIf these places had resources that they were being less-than forthcoming with to our country, you'd see us "helping" the oppressed people of their country.\n\nIf they don't have resources or economic value to us, they don't get help.\n\nQuite hypocrytical and opportunistic, if you ask me.  But that's the way the world works.

I think a lot of us would like to find a place for them to live. Unfortunately, it would require the buying of a shovel. I have absolutely no tolerance for these broken persons living in society. They should be given the same rights as their victims were given. Sorry, but this is a real sore spot.

there are really selfish people in the world today. I do believe in taking care of the ones around you before anyone else. Reality check do people keep updated on disaters and over seas missions? if so are they true. It's just the waty the world is today. More people need to turn their eyes back on their creator Lord God Almighty. What if people had to live back in those days,they wouldn't make it.

As a rape survivor, I can say that I believe that women are mistreated by some men, but some men are also mistreated.  For every bad man or woman in this world, there are way more good ones.  I can attest to that fact.  Yes, we women are at a disadvantage in some points, but I would still choose to be a woman, even living through what I have lived through....Good question....:)

I think the rest of the world are ingrates. They ALWAYS come to us for help & then bad mouth us. We should help the entire free world, but then they criticize us. No land is perfect, but I don't bite the hand that feeds.......\n\nI'm also perplexed by so many people here in Yahoo that talk so badly about their own country especially in comparison to others. Why don't they just leave then if it's so bad? I hear there's cheap housing in Mexico..........

I agree, the people of this world have forgotten that God wants us to LOVE one another. No matter what religion or race. We all came from the same place. Our world is really a mess. I guess all we can do is Pray for things to get better. GOD BLESS YOU, for caring..

One more white South African who can't  cope with reality.\nStop whining and do something to level the enormous gap between the haves and have-nots, and you'll have done something worth while. But that would mean to help mostly black people, and YOU can't be expected to do that, can you?

As amusing as find your ranting and as much as I agree with you, I still have to say: educated people still are out there, even though it might seem like they were abducted by aliens... \nStill, I would put the question in a different way: How many people on here have ever cared for education?\nPS: I like you!
