listen dude, Kuwait has the strongest curency in the world, it may be a bit hard for u to accept, but if it wasn't for that reason and becoz 1 KD makes a lot for most of poor people who come to kuwait for work, I can dare and say that maybe most of the ppl here would be leaving it. I lived most of my life here. mad dad even spent his whole life here, and what did he gain after 50 Years being here ? he's a 70 years old man and he has to run here and there and see 10 ppl to renew his residency every year or let's say for maximum period of 2 years ! \n-\nI love this country even more than my homeland and in fact this is my homeland now. but what if I goto the Police-Station if I had a problem with a kuwaity person ? Would they treat me as a normal human being and equal with any other human being in this country? sorry , but hell no !\n- \neven kuwaities themselves, if two kuwaity kicked each other's ass, in the police station they'll look for their roots as some families are above other families and if so on...\n-\nIf u read local newspapers, there wont be a week without seeing 3-4 cases of an indenosian or srilankan servents commiting suicide, and the Ironic reason they use as clishes to explain it is " an indenosian maid killed herself becoz of her husband's bike flat wheel back home in indonesia!!!!" \n- \nI love my country Kuwait and I wish all the best for it, but these human situations better be solved. coz it's giving a very bad and wrong image of this place worldwide.\n\nPeace :)

I've read that it was the South's continued practice of slavery that turned off the English.  The British had outlawed slavery and didn't much care to be associated with it anymore.  Had the Confederacy abandoned that institution, I think you might have seen a slightly different outcome, but then again, slavery was one of the reasons (not THE reason, but ONE of many reasons) for the conflict in the first place, so...

Yeah, I saw that too, "can't fly a flag because it might offend a minority group."\n\nSnort.\n\nAnd they said the British never would be slaves.

How hasn't it... I am a 7th generation daughter of a slave and Looking back over the last 141 yrs, our people have went from being slaves of white owners to being slaves of themselves...like gangs and racial seperation among ourselves. We need to wake up and get our crap together.

Many. many people do.  Despite the abuses in Abu Gahrib and allegations of abuse in Guantanamo, the fact is that we can complain about that in this country whereas the same complaints in another country would land you in a prison worse than one of those.

Not in the USA.  Parents are  slaves here, black and white parents.  You can tell by the looks on our faces when we shop for school clothes, just beggin to be freed.  Now, there may be slaves still in other countries, actually I am certain.  But here it is illegal, so you are not going to see open slavery here.  \n\nDid I cover it?

Slavery still exists, all over the world.  Those who say otherwise are niave, and ill-informed.  Just because it has been outlawed doesn't mean that it itsn't there.  Speeding is outlawed, piracy is outlawed, it exists.  There are countries in Africa where slavery runs rampant. Consider that.

I can think of several things that may qualify, but upon closer examination I find evidence lacking for all of them.  Not counting some local or minor issue that may have been discussed in your class, consider Iraq?\n\nNo, we are not a colonial power exploiting another people.  Further, the people of Iraq are not culturally related to us, like we were to the British.  So bag that idea.\n\nWhat else? Elections?  Change of focus of power from Republican to Democrat?  No, there were no parties in Colonial America.  Not like we have them today.\n\nSorry I can't be more helpful.  Perhaps, Like I said, the question may be related to some topic covered in class that is not "general knowledge."  \n\nLots of teachers have their own agenda and even more ask questions that only make sense to them.  Some make a career out of making the obvious, obscure.

This illustrates our (American) emotional irrationale of Arabs.  Ask any high ranking Navy official, the Dubai ports in the East are the safest ports on the planet.  We, here in America have unfairly targeted DP AFTER allowing them to bid on this business.  We are shamefully hippocritical sometimes.  I'm a conservative, and am ashamed of my government at this point.

YES!!! \nGo to iabolish.com and find out how you can help. Slavery has not ended, and you can become an abolishionist. People turn a blind toward situations in Africa, especially in Sudan. Everyone can help, you just have to be willing.\n\nIt costs $50 to free a slave! \n\nIn Sudan it's cheaper to by a slave than it is to buy a VCR.\n\nBe informed

Slavery is in the past, we can't change the past but the futre is a like playdough. We can build it better.

??? Slavery has existed since the beginning of time. The N. American Slave trade existed for a very short time in comparison to other historical slave periods.\n\nThe United States has done an extraodinary thing in correcting a lot of its wrongs with Affirmative Action, Brown v The Topeka Board of Education, the Voting Rights Act and other measures.\n\nWe have a way to go, but of late we have the likes of the Oprahs, Powells, Woods, and other pioneers that we can point to and say America is overcoming.

OF COURSE ! HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD OF WHITE SLAVERY WHERE WOMEN ARE KIDNAPPED AND FORCED INTO PROSTITUTION ? THAT DOES IN FACT GO ON IN THE WORLD .

I think the question is how WEREN'T they punished!! \n\nThe slaves were not treated as human beings, they were treated like animals....actually worse than animals....this is a powerful subject....you should definitely do a lot of research into this, there are many resources on the slave trade. Try your local library, ask the librarian for help.

Are you kidding?  The English colonization of India, was akin to slavery.  They raped the country, disregarded their culture and precepts and forced these people to work.. The Civil Rights movement in the United States followed the teachings of Gandhi to liberate African Americans...come on  Man...are you that insensitive?
