If I ever visit any of the cities, it would not be just to call a black man a 'nigger'. I actually wish I could talk to black people in the US. They were always quite amazing to me. I'm very proud I have friends from Africa. I like them very much. Blacks in America have been here from nearly the beginning so you may find it surprising to know that most could care less about Africa and have absolutely nothing in common to Africans besides physical appearances. :) |

If you think that the only point of this thread is whether black people should be called 'niggers' or not, than you've really gone off-course. The main point is actually how racial differences are treated here compared to your country. The absence of PC speach, and all other things may sound very nasty to you, but it is very normal here. Blacks here just don't feel offended by being called 'chamoogas' which is a Serbian version of 'negro'. For example, in Serbia we have a candy called 'Negro' -- not after black people, but because that word 'negro' means 'black' and the candy is black. When one of my African friends was eating the candy, we called him a 'canibal' (as a joke of course), and he laughed at the joke. He was not offended at all. In the US, it would probably be politically incorect even to call a candy 'Negro'? -- Branko Of course it would be since it doesn't mean the same thing here. |

I thought that, too, re-reading my post. Well, the gist of the post is that the boys were quite happy with her, and so was she. Everyone's happy, that's the point. Besides, her BFs are very mature. I'd never say they were 13 just by looking at them. Would say they were 20 or even 22. She actually goes out with 13 year olds????? Thats just.... I don't even have a word for it... my god |

This question has been debated in the art community for as long there has been something called art. What is art? |

Not sure if any of you have been following the trend of big business putting on gallery exhibits of their advertisements? I believe ( don't quote me on this, my comprehension skills are horrible. ) that deisel & nike do this...They have gallery openings for thier graphic design and ad work. |

Excellent. A minor quibble is that the mouseovers are kind of harsh in comparison with the elegance of the rest of the site. Maybe just change the text color and drop the background color change. Also, on the inside pages I found the text a bit too light and too much contrast between the text color and link color. Very nice....cpg |

Hey everyone! Our IT department is planning on getting me a new computer (3.06ghz wohoo!), and has asked me to suggest a video card for it. Now, I wont be playing any games on this system, so I really don't need anything fancy, so I'm tempted to ask for a basic, 64 or 128meg video card. But, I wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions for what manufacturer I should ask for. The card will be hooked up to a 22" monitor, and I plan to run the video at 1600x1280 @32bit color. |

"Sandi" As Tony said, the only way to assure no-one copies your work is not to post it.... I am not concerned about people saving my pictures, but would like to know if I can prevent people from linking to my pictures. I used an online checker yesterday and found web sites (can you believe a few real estate sites) that are actually linking to some of my "Arizona" pictures, not even the decency to right click and put them on their own site..... I know I can just change the name, then their link goes poof,, but that could get to be a pain... I have MANY pictures, and found more then a few that others have linked too.. Sandi htaccess |

All 4 mentioned can do that. In reality I find that almost anything can inspire me in its own way... I was kidding about the porno. When I want deep thoughts I visit a Library. I have deep thoughts without visiting a library... and I really dont give a shit about art or its meaning to be totally honest with you.

Uh, did she actually *abuse* the kid, or they were merely having ? There's a difference. A normal 13-year old has fair understanding of his sexuality. I did when I was 13, at least. It's quite common nowadays for 'little' boys and girls in Serbia to at least want to have at the age of 13. It wasn't some time ago, but now it's increasingly accepted. Besides, she's only 21. That's 8 years difference. My parents are 15 years apart. |

And modern sitcoms. Unfortunately, it is a VERY destructive act. A 13 yo is incapable of understanding the consequences. There are a large number of behaviors that follow child sexual assault, whether legal or not. Many pedophiles have a history of such encounters. It is a very strong ingredient in creating child molesters/pedophiles and rapists. |

I'm yet to met a 13 year old that has the same maturity level as me... and I work in a hospital, I see kids around that age every day... the fact is, they havent had enough experience in life to bring themselves to be at a maturity level which is 6 years above them.

The scary part is that they ask for race... "So lets see who is most qualified for the work... No, this one has to go, she left the race-field blank..." Does this happen? If so, you have really big problems, IMO. OTOH, you dont see any tick-boxes stating race in Sweden since its against the law, but that doesn't stop discrimination. It finds other ways, more subtile. I do think society has to make real clear that it does not accept discrimination. The only way to do that is to market those values and to adjust the leaal system. For instance is it now illegal to wear nazi symbols in public. Strangly though, one can carry the image of Stalin without being arrested... Probably the Stalin brand is not so strong as the swastika... /Tomas |
