Thank You, adventure, for posting that. I read the whole thing. High school just brushes on the surface of our history. White people are clueless to what the blacks have endured and still endure to this day. It has to change. Not just racial mindsets and stereotyping, but the tactics of the police force. Can't we come up with better weapons that would stun an aggressor instead of killing him? With our star wars type technology, it just seems to me that we could come up with something more HUMANE than death. We don't always shoot to kill a bear that wanders into a playground; we oftentimes shoot it with something to put it to sleep then transport it to another location.
Would you be willing to get out of your comfort zone and meet a woman beyond 600 miles? The older we get, the more open minded we have to be....if we want to find someone....
The cop is facing lawsuits up and coming, so the money will pass right through his hands...the Brown family is going to go for wrongful death, as I understand it, and then the FBI will do their investigation; the police department, and also the Justice Department.
I think the most important thing is to try and treat the other person with respect. I see too many couples treat each other badly, with criticizing, humiliating, name calling, yelling, accusing, and mean jokes. No wonder too many relationships don't last. As for the couples that stay together happily over time, I think they treat each other better as well as having that sense of commitment.
Hmmmm, I guess I just don't quite get why, but hopefully something good will happen those people have had to fight for hundreds of years for their rights
Thanks, sista, for posting this. The numbers do not agree with people's stereotypes--a very telling thing.
And I don't appreciate the way that fool, er, cop shot up that kid so many times. Any decent police would not have over-reacted like that. Proof there was something wrong with him.
Women nowadays don't NEED a man, they only WANT a man, and that makes a HUGE difference in how things used to be vs how they are now. Women are learning that they don't have to stay in a sour or abusive marriage. And what is wrong with a woman wanting a fling here or there? Men have done it all along...now it's the women's turn and some men are put off by that? Times have changed, haven't they?
The Rastafari believe he/they were black...and that he/they had dreadlocks...that is supposedly in the bible too, about the dreadlocks, something Christians would probably not want to believe
Does this do-gooder Muslim know the history of Jamaica? you guys have been through enough of "we know what's good for you" treatment. I think he needs to clean up his own back yard. The End.
I wonder how deep the feelings are of some celebrities, too. But I read a book once, called Love at First Sight, and according to the authors, love at first sight marriages actually tend to last longer....maybe we should be open-minded? Makes me wonder if everyone who waits years, to see if it is "right" really isn't sure enough? On the other hand, many who rush into a relationship end up splitting up later, too. Still, I'm open to whirlwind things...I know alot of them are good relationships too
You have every right to set the pace of the relationship Tell him you are not ready and that you need to take your time. If that isn't okay with him, consider that suspicious Don't ever let someone push you into something

Unions were put in place to protect the employees, because it is all too true the a good hard working employee can be fired because he is making more money, then a young person is hired to do the work for far less. Or perhaps an employee is reaching retirement age, but is let go to save the company money, even though the worker was loyal for many years. It is not right to allow an employer to get away with anything---what about overtime? how many workers are not paid for it? What about employees taking work home with them, yet are not compensated for their time? What about cell phones? Many workers must even take that on vacation with them! Ridiculous-- Can't a person unwind? So I DON'T agree that the dictator--er, employer, is always right or fair.
From the very first article I read about her, back before she ever got shot in the face by those evildoer cowards, I realized that she is a very special person; I see her as a sort of saint, really. A very evolved, and brave, soul. She is truly special and deserves no less than the Nobel Peace Prize she has earned.
I have the same problem, younger men who want to have kids. Mine are also grown up and I'm too old to have more kids, nor do I WANT to have any more! So I am also confused by men who want kids, yet approach me for romance
I agree, I don't want another child , nor do I want a domineering man ; I want a partner for an equal, mutually supportive, caring partnership where each person looks out for the other
