  i have a new job, and there is a young girl who has a desk located near mine.

  she is muslim and wears a head covering, and today i had the chance to talk to her.

  she brought up her religion when i asked her why she didn't have any photos on her desk etc... she explained it was due to the fact any pictures or other objects of living beings was against her religion as it was considered idoitry.

  Shea - Oh goodness don't feel bad for me, I am glad it happened. For once I can know what it is like to feel this way.

  And it raises another question. DO all Black Muslims feel this way? God religion can be SO EVIL.

  I have a new job, and there is a young girl who has a desk located near mine. She is Muslim and wears a head covering, and today I had the chance to talk to her. She brought up her religion when I asked her why she didn't have any photos on her desk etc... She explained it was due to the fact any pictures or other objects of living beings was against her religion as it was considered idoitry. So we started talking more and I asked her a few questions about her beliefs... then, she said something that put a very strange feeling through me. She told me she was Black Muslim and white people were evil, and she would be civil at work to me, but that was the extent of it. She said it so nicely, but her words...

  I just sort of sat there, not really sure what to say. I know who Malcolm X was etc (and I do think NOT ALL Black Muslims believe this, or at least I hope not... and wow do I realize how ignorant I am...) but for the first time in my life, I was told to my face (in a nice way) that I was not liked because of my skin color. God, was it time for a wake up call for me or what? The feeling I cannot put my finger on, but I have carried with me a sort of sadness for the rest of the day as a result of it. It makes no sense to hate me because my skin pigment is light, same as any other physical feature. It does not register with me, it's not logical... Now, if I had to live with being the object of racial hatred more often than not... *sigh*

  It puts a whole new spin on things, you know? It is so easy for me to stand here and try to explain my feelings on why racism gaps should be closed, but we have a very very long ways to go, including the fact I personally do not know what it is like to be on the other end. As I was born white in a dominantly white ruled country.

  The way she spoke to me was very civil in fact kind, and now I imagine how I would have reacted if her words would have been filled with hate, death threats, or otherwise.

  I tend to post things here that are considered to me to be some sort of cause, religious or otherwise, simply because JWD was a major turning point in my life where issues such as these could be brought out to the table, discussed and studied, learned and hopefully on my part better understood before. This time, I am not sure WHY I am posting it, other than the fact I took a nap, and just now when I woke up, it was on my mind. It still saddens me, and now I know what it is like after 26 years to be told I was not liked because of the color of my skin. It's not a very good feeling at all.

  Anyhow, that's it, something I wanted to talk about, get off my chest.

  you'll never look at the ocean the same way.

  the average blue whale produces over 400 gallons of sperm when it.

  ejaculates, but only 10% of that actually makes it into his mate.

  i know right now you are sitting behind a computer, so you would be considered (at least by me and millions of others world over) to be... well... lucky.

  here is where you react with your personal problems which are rather petty (sorry not trying to be rude here) life situations that amount to a hill of beans, barring extreme life circumstances, compared to say, that one guy who wears rags and talks to himself on the corner of main and broadway.

  huh?

  I never meant to offend with this post or belittle anybody's personal issues. I have strong opinions, as do many of you. I think we all have problems... but can our personal issues be compared to those less fortunate? You bet your butt. Life is wonderful for so many of us, and the downs make the ups so much sweeter.

  Next time you go home, even if you go home to an empty house, just remember, you have a home.

  hi, i smoke, not loads, but i would like to stop.

  i think i will find it really hard though and was wondering how you stopped if you were a previous smoker.

  i also suffer from asthma which obviously doesn't make things any better.

  I quit a while back... cheated off an on, but never gave up hope. Herbal "cleansers" helped a lot...

  To feel bad for people who suffer is not admirable, it's human.
