someone cant act "black" or "white". we're all people here, and if thats the way they are then they're acting like themselves...people.
Technicaly, somone can't be black ether. most 'blacks' actualy have brown skin. I've known people who call themselves 'black' dispite the fact there skin wasn't any darker then your average asian person (They are basign this on there heratige).
Like it or not, there are cultural diffrences between the majority of blacks and whites in this contry. Certanly I wouldn't hold the standard to everyone.
The reason that I dislike it when 'white boys act black' is that in every instance of a white person acting 'black' They were a pathetic idiot. Instaid of embracing african-american culture, they've adopted a cartoon caracture of it as portraid in the Gangsta-rap records that are targeted at them. You don't sell 6 million CDs by selling them to black tenagers (there are only about 12 million blacks in the US). and a harverd graduate like 'puff dady' knows this (I'm not sure what he majored in, I think bussness. It sure as fuck wasn't music theory).
I don't have a problem with black culture, my problem that when 'white boys' act black, they are invariably idiots. The real-world equivalent of a 'script-kiddy'. I havn't met LFO, but based on my real-world observations, they are ether idiots, or, more likely, pandering to them. "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"

falsities is a word: Falsity \Fal"si*ty\, n.;pl. Falsities. [L. falsitas: cf. F. fausset['e], OF. also, falsit['e]. See False, a.] 1. The quality of being false; coutrariety or want of conformity to truth.
Probability does not make any alteration, either in the truth or falsity of things. --South.
2. That which is false; falsehood; a lie; a false assertion.
Men often swallow falsities for truths. --Sir T. Brown.
Syn: Falsehood; lie; deceit.
Usage: Falsity, Falsehood, Lie. Falsity denotes the state or quality of being false. A falsehood is a false declaration designedly made. A lie is a gross, unblushing falsehood. The falsity of a person's assertion may be proved by the evidence of others and thus the charge of falsehood be fastened upon him.

Yeh, the strange thing is, I first heard that song as an MP3 I randomly downloaded of ISU's network (Hail ISU's network!!!) and I thought it was kind of intresting. sort of a little 'nostalgic' song. Then I started hearing it everywhere (our "alternative" station just got baught out and turned into a "top 40 crap" station, quite sucked).
Then I saw the MTV video and relized that they were just a bunch of lame white boys pretending to be black. I'm sorry, but that's so fucking lame I mean really. I may be a mass media whore, but I do have some standards... "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
that's like saying all those mac advocates going on about how 'stable' there non-memory protected OS was, beacuse it never crashed unless you ran a program!
I can see how you could blame the app if it took over the entire screen (so you couldn't see anything else) and wouldn't quit. but if an APP can kill the entire X server, then the X server obviously has a bug. "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"

NT is much easier to use and administer on a server-by-server basis
well, maybe for you. but I could never setup an NT system without a substancial effort, given that I've never used NT outside of a public computer lab.
Maybe NT is easyer to setup, but I tend to doubt it (unless you can't hack a text shell). and you don't really know, since you obviously don't know much about linux (assuming this is the same AC) "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Not only that, but Windows9X is SO badly written. Thats WHY I use NT, Linux, and BeOS. (Doesn't anyone read the first 2 paragraphs?!!) With a REAL OS, I don't have to worry about the darn OS crashing every 5 mins.
well, I run 9x without any problems here. I can usualy get about two days of uptime. When I turn my computer off at night, I can go for weeks without a crash. "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Since when do I have less of a right to say 'No, that's wrong don't do it.' than anyone else does to say 'Yes, that's a good idea, do it.'??
Well, why you certanly should have the right to say that you shouldn't do it, you certanly should not be able to stop someone from doing it. Its there choice not yours. and if you don't like it, well thats two fucking bad.
Remember, the world is not yours to do with what you want. People saying 'yes that's ok' and 'no that's not OK, don't do it' have equal footing. nither has any control. of course the people saying 'yes' already agree with the person who will be doing it.

There's nothing really wrong with that, when the couple paid for helth insurance they got coverage. Its the insurace companys responsibility to pay for these things. If you don't like it, don't get insurance.

so, why exactly should we bend over and get raped up the ass by nature?
While hardships make us stronger, so does genetic engenering. Exsept genetic engenering is a lot less painfull.
You said in you're post that you wouldn't let you're daught get breast implants, would also not let her get wisdom teeth or apendix removed? would you not alow you're son to get a circumcision?
