Reply to Video Link: Teacher calls student the N word in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I think what most people are missing is the reason why the "N" word is so negative and extremely derogatory. For hundreds of years the Black race has been subjected to the "N" word amongst other hateful slangs and stererotypical labels. One of the reasons that most of the Rap artist use the term in their music, is to make the word powerless. As in powerless, the word has now become an "endearment' to each other, and the word now has a diff

A Stranger came to me, hungry ,cold and lost, His Ripped and tattered clothing, white with morning frost. I don`t mean no harm, I heard the stranger say, Can you spare a little change, I have no where to stay. His eyes were deep and dreary with his glasses on his nose, nervous and ashamed as he tried to fix his clothes. He started to tell his story, why he was living on the street, I couldn`t help but notice there were no shoes upon

I believe in Angels. I had 3 Angels visit me at the age of 10. I use to get very sick every Christmas as a child. This one Christmas in particular, I was very ill. I remeber my mother worried with grief, and trying to do everything in her power to make me well. I became feverish and couldn't keep any food or water on my stomach. I began losing weight, and all of my hair began to fall out. My mother, thinking I was ridden with the flu, becau

I would like to say that there are many of different and unique jobs in the world, but being an executioner is one job Ithat I wouldn't want .How could you sleep at night? Besides, no one has the right to end anyones life, regardless what color they are. If the same law applieds to Tookie Williams, then it should apply to all inmates who are sentenced to be executed. This is where the contorversy comes in. There was no mercy gr

Reply to So Cats Are Useless, Are They? in Cats JoeUser Forums

Cats are so misunderstood, and labelled. I can relate to Gary's story! I have the most praise and respect when it comes to Cats! I had a cat save me from a house fire when I was 15 years old. I was asleep in my bedroom, with my sister across from me. I was in a deep sleep, and unable to hear or smell anything during the fire. My bedroom door was closed, but my cat "Puddy", knew something was wrong. She jumped on my ches

Reply to The Ugly Canadian in Travel JoeUser Forums

Hey.....What ever happened to the good neighbors Canada and the United States use to be? Every time I turn on the news there is always something in the lines of Anti-American bashing. As a child, the Canadian school curriculm taught American History and Geography. I know more about the United states than my own Canadian History. I have never had a problem with Americans, regardless of all of the negative publicity that's being potrayed. I
