What is racism anyway?

It is my opinion that those who say "I am not a racist" probably are [provided I knew what it is]. We are all, I suspect, racist (to different degrees).

Answers in Red :wink: :wink: What you have written happens every day and will continue to happen until something is done. What that is I have no idea. Actually, this place simply needs a Martin Luther King. Except that he'd get deported in 2 days. And for some reason, I found Bushra's story of hard...

Good luck in the big apple.

I've been watching the news and reading about what is going on in Lebanon. It seems there is always someone to blame in this here forums. Who now?

Concord

The default answer is US and Israel, didn't you know? :wink: Hubby is in Beirut for a couple of days. :? :wink: I've been away for a few days and figure they would be loads of commentary on this forums about the situation in Lebanon. But not a peep :shock: Hope your Hubby is not protesting!

Always wanted to visit Petra (Nabatean city in Jordan). http://travel.mongabay.com/jordan/ I just visited it over the weekend and it was amazing.

Guess you are no longer ignorant about that.

The other day in conversation someone mentioned something about a Fijian family and I mentioned that I have met people from many countries in the world but never met someone from Fiji. Well, just the other weekend (last weekend) I met a couple from Fiji while they where visiting the pyramids in Cair...

Concord, what fantastic, wonderful, and lifelong enriching experiences you have had in seeing the world! These are things that you will carry with you throughout your life, and will gain in many ways from it. Everyone should be so fortunate to travel (even if working) and see the world, people, and...
