    Have some random things you just don't seem to understand? Post them here.

    1. Why do we claim that it is wrong to differentiate people by colour, but go on calling each other "blacks" and "whites"?

    2. Why has God created everyone differently, yet expect us all to be the same?

    3. How can someone be so overly obsessed with an idol, causing her parents to sell their home, and ultimitely causing their father to jump to his death?

    4. Why hasn't Yang Li-juan been locked up in a mental institute along with her crazy mother?

    1. Why do people study how to make a living and not how to make a life?

    2. Why do we multiply our possessions, yet reduce our values?

    3. How come millions of people would rather communicate on the internet, rather then in person?

    4. How come people work out to build their bodies, but rarely work to build their characters?

    5. Why do we hold onto money and throw away our morals?

    6. Why do we supersize food and sacrifice health?

    7. How can God be benign, when Religion has killed hundreds of millions of people?

    8. Why is greed rampant and altruism so hard to find?

    9. How come when one person dies its a tragedy, but when hundreds or thousands die it becomes a statistic?

    10. How can we use the word 'humane' for good actions when, by all rights, it should suggest something terrible.

    I can't think of any now.. but personally, I dun think its wrong to differentate people based on skin color or any other form of identification. People are different and thats a fact. It is discrimination that we try to avoid. In fact, I think we should learn to accept the differences and not keep thinking that they are the same.

    But as for calling people by such general term.. I think it depends if they see it as an insult or whether it carries any associated tones. However, most of the time it is used generally to refer to certain groups of people due to a lack of understanding and hence the inability to differentiate, just like how chinese, vietnamese, malay etc are refered to as asians. So instead of avoiding differences, perhaps we should embrace them, and go beyond identifying ppl as 'black', 'white', 'asians' etc

    i think because its easier to talk to someone on the internet because you're not face-to-face with that person..>.<

    reli? i rather person to person.. but i guess if there are millions of ppl.. then it will be rather difficult to meet in person. Thats what makes the net convenient isnt it? Chatting in 10 chatrooms at the same time? Chatting with ppl across the world like what we are doing now? That is sth you cant get w/o internet. But hopefully it doent replace your contact with ppl ard you.. that will suk -noclue

    Why do we jump into the future (leap of faith?), yet turn to linger in the past?

    Why is it so easy to dislike while it's so difficult to like? The object could be anything.

    Because skin color is the first thing we recognize on a person, and it's hard to change, so it's easy to explain how a person looks by their skin color. Black is much easier to say than African-American. Humans are lazy.

    I don't understand your question. My spending $500+ on shoes makes me happy, and thus, increases my value.

    People's looks don't come into play over the internet.

    I'd rather die as a 60 year old and eat what I want, than die as a 90 year old vegetarian.

    Please consult The Bible for the answer to this question. The Bible has an excuse... I mean, explanation for every hypocritical verse they have in it.

    Yes, in fact, I would argue that if you assume ALL things are equal (the same) and have no distinctions, then you are committing a sort of inverse racism... an all-inclusiveness, denying any differences exist at all.

    The slang term for douchebag has basically two meanings. A vaginal cleaner and a vaginal cleaner. The first one is literal, while the second one is an insulting term which can also be used in place of the word @$$hole.

    Is there really more to life than SexAlcoholPartyingAndGorgeousWomen?

    It seems like most of my friends are satisfied living that kind of lifestyle...But my feelings are they're only temporary highs. There's gotta be more to life...
