Ok, now I am not trying to be a troll or anything and please, no racist answers. I was just reading this article: It is about Latinos being unsatisfied about Obama's cabinet positions. http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20081130/pl_politico/15967 Is this fair? I mean, it feels like they are saying "Latinos MUST have guaranteed positions in the cabinet." It sounds like reverse discrimination. Does this mean their race will give them a boost into a position? I don't mind when they are chosen based on their merit, but this is something else all together. Again, I am not trying to evoke any emotions, and I would prefer to hear an answer contrary to my own. Will being "white" carry a stigma for job positions one day? Thanks Mavisthemaven. That is the kind of answer I was looking for :)

A few weeks ago..the 19th to be exact..I started to bleed heavy and I was 7 weeks pregnant..5 days before that a healthy heartbeat was seen..but I passed two large clots while in the hospital on the 19th and a lot of blood..a little piece of tissue like clot came out but nothing that was tissue like ever came out after that..i did pass really small clots .. I never filled a pad ever..I was bleeding heavily but never enough that would make me change my pad a lot..well after a few days I passed a hard looking clot..it was muscle looking..and i didn't get anymore pain and i stopped bleeding all together..that was about..6 days ago..but now I still get headaches..bad ones..I still have no appetite..but sometimes I get so hungry I cant stand it..i still have nausea..not much though never had much of it to begin with..and my nipples are still sore..and boobs still tender..and yesterday I started to feel tingles..and kinda like a pulsing pain in my uterus and today too..and im still peeing like a race horse.. could it be that I still have a high level of hormones?...do they last this long..?

Females are awesome. I can't believe they were treated inferior to men during those times. Why were they treated so? I mean, aren't they most important for the reproduction of the human race? Don't they give all their time and effort to raise children? Aside from that, females are beautiful people. Men should have treasured them, not hurt them. I've read in many history books that shop owners cheat women employees by paying them less and mistreat them by beating them. If I lived at those times, I would have treasured my wife and never do such things to her. Actually I would respect her. Were all males mistreating women? Doesn't this whole mistreatment of females bother you all? After reading Kate Chopin's works, it makes me think about these things . . . especially the Awakening.

is it? sometimes i think i love my dog more than any single person. think about it, humans are the only animals that do phucked up things for no reason, when other animals do it they do it for food or to gain the love of another animal but some humans just do phucked up things for no reason haha im not a mad person im very loving and i love people i was just thinking

date outside of their 'race'? This question is obviously aimed at a specific group of people. ?Ego- Brainwashed or self-hating? So you're saying that I'm brainwashed that I like Asian women since I find them attractive and hate myself at the same time because of it. Once again (as always) that logic is flawed. That makes absolutely no sense at all. itshazey- I can't tell you why I prefer Asian women anymore than I can tell you why I like Grapefruit juice more than apple juice. Just something that 'is.' itshazey- I like it because it tastes better to me. Just like I like Asian women more than Western women because they are more physically attractive and have a better personality to me. Happy? True_Self_Hatred- I tend to relate to Asian women more and I find them attractive as well.

Does the people who run National Merit put a ceiling on the number of students who receive the scholarship from each race? Say, there is only x amount of Asians and x amount if Caucasians who can get the scholarship?

I've had two different dreams where I was very pregnant, in the past 2weeks. I have awoken from both and have felt paralyzed and weighed down and scared, upon waking in my bed. I then feel relieved, coming to my senses and remembering I'm not pregnant and it was only a dream. First dream: I am VERY pregnant, and I am running down the street with my mom and dad. (in real life I am 23yrsold by the way) I am mad at them, very upset at them and I am trying to run away from them. I can feel and see my huge gut, especially underneath it, it's like I have to hold it up to run. I eventually run into the side of a person's yard in a residential area, to lose my parents, and go inside the person's house. No one is home and I go into a beautiful dining area, where there is hardwood flooring and a lot of flowers, I try to hide in this room. I feel panicky, alone, scared that I'm about to give birth, scared that I am all alone and that my b/f is not with me, and scared the home owners will come home and i'll get in trouble for trespassing. I'm sooo nervous and my heart is racing, as I try to find a closet/bathroom to actually hide in. I then hear the owners opening the front door! I'm holding my gut and all of a sudden I have a splash of water on my feet, my water broke in their house and I am scared and alone and have no idea what to do. Then I WOKE UP! I was soooo scared when I woke up from this dream. More than anything, I felt alone, ashamed, and terrified IN this dream... 2nd Dream, I had this lastnight: I am on a college or high school campus, it is daytime, there are a lot of students around. I'm in a good mood. There are a lot of green/grassy areas and I am outside on this campus. I have a couple of friends around me whom I don't recognize. I am then sitting on a grassy knole area, with these friends around me, and I look down and I have a huge pregnant belly. I feel heavy and less movable. I panick and look up and I see Ryan Reynolds (the actor) and Reese Witherspoon (the actress) sitting with me amongst the other friends. We are just sitting on the grass casually talking. I apologize to Reese for sleeping with Ryan, because somehow I know they're together!! And the baby I'm carrying is from a one time thing with Ryan!!!! Reese tells me it's okay, and then changes the subject. I am looking Ryan right in the face, as we are all still sitting close on the grass, on campus. Now that I know I my pregnant state, I realize I ruined my life for a one time thing with Ryan. And in my head I feel really HUGE, vulnerable, and upset that I am pregnant. I think to myself that maybe I can put the baby up for adoption, like the girl in the movie Juno did. Once this thought comes over me, I feel more at ease and forget I am pregnant for a second. Next scene in the dream, I am on campus again, a different school, it's an inner city type of school, and I have a lot of black friends, the weather is muggy/rainy out, and I have energy and I'm kind of walking fast to class, again I am very pregnant and I realize it, and a huge feeling of disappointment comes over me. I try to remember who got me pregnant, and why I'm just finding out! I can't think, but I just know I'm mad to be pregnant. I stop at a picnic table with a bunch of other girls...hispanic/black girls, we stop before class, one girl lights up a blunt and offers it to me, I forget I'm pregnant, and I say okay and she passes it to me, I drop the blunt on the ground! All of a suddent the bell rings and I try to run to class. I have a thick jacket on, my backpack, and of course my huge gut I'm running/wobbling to class. I'm late to class, and it's a music class that's already started, and I go in through the back entrance, everyone in class is sitting on the wood flooring and the students playing the instruments are in the front of the class standing up, and LL COOL J is the instructor for this class. I try not to interupt as I sneak in and make my way to the floor, to watch too, and a friend of mine see's me and she calls me to sit by her. I listen for a second the music playing, a lot of trumpets, and I think to myself I can't believe I'm pregnant, what's happened to my life? Then I WOKE UP. And I felt paralyzed and had a heavy weight on me. Then I opened my eyes and moved around and realized it was all a dream. What do these dreams mean?! Thanks

Back in Feb my boyfriend dumped me and I was really depressed and it's taken me almost 10 months to get over him. All of these months I hadnt met anyone worth getting to know and now all of a sudden I've met these three amazing guys that I consider dating!! Guy 1: Ric the bartender I work with. He's really sweet and really mature and down to earth. We have so much in common and I can tell he likes me too. We always flirt and he took me out to breakfast last week and it was really comfortable. I could see myself dating him. He's 22. Guy 2: Josh We met at a local club and he works in advertising. He's got 2 jobs, a bit of a party animal (but he works at a club so he HAS to go to other clubs every weekend) He's really mature for his age and a very nice guy. When he looks at me it gives me the chills, my heart races when I think about him and I like that he's my age and we are in college together. He's 19 Guy 3: Brad Brad and I have been friends for 6 years, ive known him since freshman year of high school. He's been a rock for me and we've seen each other go through relationships and we've helped eachother out. I'm really comfortable around him but i'm not that attracted to him. The other day he told me he's in love with me and he kissed me and I actually kissed him back. But i'm afraid if my feelings are just lust or something else. All these men are really fantastic and I dont know what to do. Each one has a great quality I like and its making me crazy because I came out of a really abusive relationship and now all of this...i dont know what to do. I dont want to hurt anybody.

like human is the ruling race for earth, and no other planets have human on their place (or the human there are equivalent as earth's animals?). if there is a chart ranking the advancement of ruling species of the universe, at what place you'd think human is placed ? now ? 1000 years later ? how developed are the power of human mind in average (%) ? (if you know the latest research foundings) why do you think fiction writers wrote about "aliens" invasions on earth more than human invading the "aliens" planets? are those because writing about human's heroic at a critical moment have more romanticism factor or just we really think we're that weak? thank you for your participation. i'd like to hear what fellow human opined on this subject.

She is a very nice lady, but every appointment that I have with her, she finds it necessary to speak about my race, or something related to it. I think she is trying to find a way to relate to me but I find it to be annoying and sometimes I get uncomfortable. Last week she told me that her name is a popular black woman's name in the South, african american babies are known to have low birth (this was after she told me that she found it odd that my 1st daughter was normal weight) weight, and that I am pretty for a black woman? I didn't say anything because I didnt want to seem over sensitive...honestly if I wasn't due next Monday I would change providers. Also, I already changed once. Should I just let it go until I deliver or should I ask her to stop or just bring it up to her that I don't like it?

I was a fool next to you when I felt the fever of my love and my lust rush to my head as Fodor stroked a season from the old violin his face contorting in pleasure my face reddening as you moved closer I was the loneliest man on earth with your head on my shoulder Fodor became feverish His strokes increasing my brain racing the violin became overwhelming and stopped suddenly he took a bow

She believes women should be treated well ect. But its race related. What are your opinions on this video? *I would place this in the culture section, but too many trolls. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJWxjfH_syw Dj...you didn't answer, but its funny in some ways I can see your point there. To the second poster your right! I didn't see it that way! I agree CeCe, but I did see another video of hers and she started this because a lot of black men put down black women a lot on youtube. She is rare, black women tend to just well we look andsome rant, but never made videos. But I wanted to know if she comes off as a racist even though she is black also. Yes I do understand what she is saying....because I see it in real life. But how she says it.... Aycora good answer also.

So my 7 year old son, was allowed to willfully live with me this past summer by my ex. Every weekend he went to visit her I was fearful she would change her mind and try to keep him, being that no court paperwork had been filed. Long story short, I started the process and had her mailed the documents along with proof of service. She blew up, over the phone, and went on a profanity laced tirade, eventually apologizing the following day. Well she claimed to have not gotten the paperwork and I still allowed my son to visit her for Thanksgiving plus a few days, as we had discussed earlier. So I go to pick him up and now she had me served with paperwork upon arrival? My son is signed up for karate 3x a week, just signed up for T-ball, bought bunk beds for him, going to church, etc... Am I going to lose him already? What should I do? Is it fair to file paperwork when you know paperwork has already been filed with the court, although not officially served? She was mailed the paperwork, but was not served in person by a process server.

Please explain enigma in as much detail as possible!

If you go to an IBRA show...can you just show up with your horse?

Tonight on Amazing Race a guy lost his money and passport, do the people that help with the show, go get that stuff.

since 90% truly are significantly mixed where they look noticeably mixed race? i dont think language should be the basis of an ethnic group. edit authentic black how many actually look white 3% in my opinion edit spanish ppl are not latinos they are hispanic. latino means latin american.

Hey. I'm a dental student and while I'm doing pretty well academically and in labs, I am staring to struggle in one lab in particular. Now my confidence is broken and I get so nervous before the practical lab exams because I don't want to drop in class rank. The problem is that about 4 nights/week due to nerves, I take Genac which is an OTC antihistimine which totally knocks me out. I'm running out of my supply and they don't sell it anymore bc of one of the ingredients. If I feel I may not have enough to last, I drink a few glasses of wine. I just need to calm down... but I can't sleep. My mind is racing. Anyone have suggestions? It is major performance anxiety. Encouraging words, personal stories welcome. Plus I keep my husband up half the night :P
