Maybe if you kept it a little more mature than just trying to shit-sling (as always) to make yourself feel better, you wouldn't have such a problem.
Better luck next time.

The biggest problem with the confederate flag is the fact that some people did use it as a symbol of racism. It all depends on why the person displaying it is displaying it. I've seen the confederate flag flown in the yard of many southereners and what about the General Lee? Dukes of Hazard woohoo! Anyway, unless those kids did something to make the other group think they were being racist they should be charged. Wow, you see a sticker and jump to a conclusion about somebody, you pre-judge somebody, you're prejudice. People suck.

Guess anybody "making fun" of the Irish with St. Pattys day garb is fair game for me to stomp from now on.

Yup, "hey! Look at them! Prejudice!!!! That makes it ok for us to do the same, and worse!!!".
Stupid people, regardless of race.
I say if you kill in anything other than when your life is directly in danger, you should die. There's no excuse for murder.

What abouit louis farakhan(sp) and his little mother ship bull shit. if a white man sprouted bullshit like him, he would have been jailed long ago. I'm all those hate crime laws the u.s brought in, but they should apply to everyone. Because if they don't, in the eyes of the law you have lessen the value of a persons life because of his race.

Actualy, If a big truck o' Baptists came up on me and hurt me, that would be a hate crime. I'd get to prosecute them, then sue the pants of them. It wouldn't necessarily be for the money, more so to show assholes like them I ain't gonna take no shit.

Oh, and I'm predominantly white.

I just do it. I work a few days a week with something like your YMCA. It not only helps guide local youth down the right path, but gives them an affordable place to do more constructive things than just hang out. A lot of kids there in the same situation I used to be in, so I don't mind helping.
Not to mention, it's police operated, and you can't get a better referance than that.

Similar maybe...the price of my course was subsidised a little, as was my equipment. In this country, you can also recieve ongoing payments (something called austudy) while studying to assist you in general living and expenses. The more you work yourself, the less these payments become, they endorse actually earning it, and as it helps with my skills, I don't mind doing a night or two per week at my college restaurant, sure, I could work more, but I'd rather actually focus on my studies more...and having the oppertunity to do so is great, something I will rightfully use to my advantage.



Very respectable...nobodys race should completely pave their way, and I'm against attitudes to the contrary...just because I'm not part of a minority myself, does not mean that I can't see there's always two sides to things, and two kinds of people, of ANY race.

We have a similar version of austudy. Heh, It's rather boringly called work study.

What I really wanted to say, also, is that you need to hook us up with some Cheebacheeba recipes, even if they're works in progress. A lot of us that can cook, could test them out...give you feedback...get it...feedback...ahem.
