If you go to places in Africa & Americas where Spanish & Portuguese conquered, you find very many brown skinned mixed race native/European peoples (Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Rep, Angola, etc.), but where British & French conquered, there are very few. Were British & French too stuck up to mix with native Africans & Americans?

Never seen a race like this one! Yamaha is finally doing their thing (both teams, bad for JT)! And who was this guy with Rossi? ;) And Lorenzo with his troubles ankle still getting second. This has to be the best season for Yamaha... I'm so excited that I'm even speechless.. Your thoughts on the race?

Its an old black & white movie from the 1950s (I guess). I remember the ending: Each says good-bye & drives off in their own car in different directions. They both feel guilty & turn around & race to eachother & confess theres bombs in each cars! I think they embrace & the movie ends. Its not Mr & Mrs Smith (2005) or the 1941 movie with the same name.

I see he only completed 50 laps. Didn't get to see the race.

Everybody knows that Military folks are practically all Republican as they support a strong national defence. But what about Black Military Americans? What percentage of them are Republican and how do they vote?

Hi - I'm doing Grandma's Marathon on June 21 and am following Hal Higdon's Novice 2 schedule. It was going well, but I had a sore ankle tendon a few weeks ago and took almost a week off. It kind of threw a wrench in my mileage. Here's my weekend long run history in the past few weeks: 4/5 14 4/12 15 4/19 13.1 (half marathon race, tweaked tendon around mile 10, not painful, ran through it) 4/26 Took the week off, ran a 10K on 4/26 so 6.2 5/3 17.4 (felt fine) 5/10 18.75 During the week, I have three more runs totaling around 18 miles, so my weeks are around 35 miles. I think I need to dip today to around 12 or 13. My last long run, a 20 miler, is scheduled for 5/31 before a 3 week taper before the race on 6/21. Lots of numbers here, I know - but if you're a serious runner, I'm sure you can relate! Any advice on what I should do today and the next couple of weekends? (the ankle is 100% fine now)

What is the latest I can eat before a marathon? It is only a 10 miles its its still a large distance for me. Ive heard "eat 4 hours prior" and "eat 2 hours" "1 hour" before etc. It there a standard school of thought as to what it too close to the start of a race? Whats the danger?

Other coutries have built drag strips to encourage boy racers to stop street racing. In this country a few people have tride to get more tracks built but have met with great resistance due to environmental issues (air and noise polution). Which is worse killing people on the streets or poluting their environment?

Example, 2 students apply for a college, ONe has a slightly higher GPA, much more involved. College resume top notch, The other not as impressive yet gets accepted and the ohter does not, The individual with the lower GPA happens to be of color, the other a white female. How and why does this happen?

We all know that religion has nearly stopped Darwin from making one of the most important discoveries ever. And many other scientists have been slowed down or even forced into death my religious people who are not interested in scientific truth. Right now things like embryo mixing and genetic selections which could get rid of things like cancer and HIV in the future are being researched but once again religious leaders are slowing down the scientific process as they have always done by saying things related to embryos or animal testing are unethical - actually I'm pretty anti animal testing myself but there is no way that embryo testing is wrong. In my view if not for religion we would have already had a man on Mars and cancer or HIV would have been a thing in the past. I think whoever Jesus was he did more harm then good. Don't forget what the Romans and Egyptians + others did before Jesus's influence. I do agree that religion is at times important as it keeps us from doing really unethical things. But I also think that common sense is just as helpful.

Computers can be connected as the internet, but human being ------very same. Hi youngsters, keep your mind with fresh thoughts never take partiality

Please do not claim not to have any biases, we all do. Could we solve many of our social problems if schools offered instruction that made our spoken language uniform erasing regional and national accents. Studies have shown that babies prefer to eat foods offered to them by a native speaker compared to a speaker of a foreign language. And older children say that they want to be friends with someone who speaks in their native accent.' Accents and vernacular, far more than race, seem to influence the people we like. 'Children would rather be friends with someone who is from a different race and speaks with a native accent versus somebody who is their own race but speaks with a foreign accent.'

Someone told my husband that Dale Jarret drove the UPS truck around the track before the race last night (MAY 17th). Is this true or was he blowing smoke? We don't get Speed channel so we watched the race recap on nascar.com this morning and could find nothing about it. Any clarification?? Sorry about that, i haven't watched enough lately to know the changed race names. Sorry.... His work college told him that it was done before the race started.

I am disabled and cannot afford cable, etc. I have 2 more races I can watch on the weekend then the rest are broadcast on other channels I cannot get. Really sucks!

Tell me the difference between these two different loves, Please?....or are they both the same? -#1..We are in love so much, i couldn't bear the thought of hurting him, we get along so well, we know eachother like the back of our hand, we are so close it's almost like sometimes we're brother and sister the way we play and talk and how we are with eachother. i couldn't even imagine him with another women. -#2..We were together before, and i loved him so much. whenever i see him, my heart races as if it's about to come out of my chest. i feel butterflies. and i get so nervous when talking to him. i can't stop thinking about him. How can i feel like this with two different people? is this possible to be IN LOVE with both of them?..i know i LOVE them both, but i'm talking bout being in love. what's not love? and what is lust? which one are u talking bout? NEW TECH BIO.. who the fuck said i was a fucken teenager?! i know what fucken love is and i ain't immautre or haven't hit puberty yet. you're a fucken idiot. i hate when people on this shitt say crap like that, if u wanna say stuff like that then don't bother answering peoples questions. everyone get problems in life k. don't judge a person just cuz of what their problem is. so fuck you and thanks everyone else...well most of u anyway, for just simply answering my question and not saying dumb shitt.

I think Obama is more conservative than Clinton. For example, Obama wants to make Health Insurance more affordable, while Clinton wants to make it mandatory. But I keep seeing people say he is extremely liberal and she is moderate. So, please, enlighten me on differences on issues (not race, religion, or sex) between Obama and Clinton that make Obama more liberal than Clinton? Or, vice versa?

My last Q about this was horribly written. What I am asking is why do some folks think that they are born to survive in a wilderness? Even Native Americans aren’t born with the skills of their ancestors. Yet I have met quite a few people of all races who think they just know it all, about how nature works and how to survive in it. This has scared me for them many times, like a young man who wants to “live off the land” in a remote area, who will not listen to experienced advice, nor seek such advice. How do you get it across to them that having a gun and knife doesn’t make you an instant wilderness survivalist? Here is an example of what I am asking about; http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/Story?id=3680748&page=1 People are getting killed in remote places, from the deserts of the south west, the woods and swamps in the Deep South, through the Rockies and the rest of North America, from inexperience, lack of outdoor skills and lack of proper equipment. How can we get across to such people to save their lives? Our Government spends millions warning us about everything from cigarettes to cosmetics, but not that the outdoors can kill you. Don’t you think this should be taught in every classroom in America? Do you have any idea how to save some of these lives? Another example; http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=1600388 METRO.. you have an excellent point. However I live where these kinds of people visit; remote Alaska, and every year we have people die here. I used to help search and rescue some years ago look for such people. And I have helped recover what was left of them IF we found them. I found a family of 5 and a big dog, in a small inflatable raft 8 miles from shore, with no life jackets. It took me a ½ hour to convince the moron dad that their lives were in peril. He had no clue, but the Coast Guard gave him a few after I called them! Stupid people or not that was lives saved.
