    Hmm that could be considered bad and good.

    The beauty of Nuclear power/energy gets cancelled out with nukes.... or maybe the other way round...

    I'll have to go with Jesus. He was important enough to have his death as the central point of time

    No one said the way that "the person" changed the world had to be good.

That and predominantly white schools (Pepperdine, Texas A&M, etc etc) tend to have alot higher quality of learning than predominantly black schools (Texas Southern, Prairie View A&M, Grambling etc...).
    Black folk dont give a shit whether white folk go to their school or not, what they do give a shit about is the fact that they get in for free, black folk dont get that when they go to predominantly white schools because those schools are just predominantly white, not white only...

    The black people who attend the university may not, but the administration more than likely does.

    thats one thing that has become popular the past couple years that i truly hate...diversity for diversity's sake. i think people should be let into school's based on merit, not on the color of their skin, not just to "promote diversity".

    Also, if its a private university all black or all white (not that there are any specifically "white" universities) they should be able to let in or not let in whoever they want. If the black schools dont want whitey in there they shouldn't have to. Especially not for a reason as silly as "promoting diversity"

    Atleast we should be happy with the Dutch Tv stations then. They have a lot of attention for diversity. Especially when trying to create it or highlight it in a negative way

    Do you feel that 'Gods Country' should be obliged to promote diversity by not tolerating segregation based on race - or will Rosa Parks be returned to the back of the bus?

    In the end white folk are getting into colleges for free while black folk are not. All should pay the same amount, unless they are trying to help the lower classes...

    Where are colleges letting whites in for free while blacks are forced to pay? Just give me one example of a single college where whites pay nothing and blacks pay fully due soly to the color of their skin.

    well lets be fair America is a product of imperialism (colonialism) and capitalism (the trade triangle) and this was siply a product of Imperial expansion of the European nations. and America is simply-like it or not(americans this means you) a child of Great Britain...
    the Magna Carta was a strong bas to form the Constitution so on and so forth.

    I feel current american policy a hypocritical puritan foundation, a plutocracy which exists so strongly it has become a psuedoaristocracy, and the exploitive nature of the system is enough to strongly disagree with it.
    Although "anti-american" is a bit strong i think as strong as "anti-euro" or "anti-brit" because we are really all facets of a common culture...

    who else can make a difference for the benefit of others?
    there is always Siddartha...
    that Jesus guy (although the religion which sprung has a shifty 'benefit for all' consequence..)

    what about Al-jabr? he made up algebra- a must in any industrialized world
    newton and his physics formulae and theories..

    Dieter Meteschietz i love red bull...

    Eisenhower or the crew of the Enola Gay- doubtful good contribution but arguments exist for and against...

    Picasso, Dali, Matisse, Michelangelo- the world with out arts and a capturing of imagination would leave little for us to envision in the forms in cars we see...

    these few people made biggerdifferences like pebbles thrown into a pond the ripples have been felt far and wide, even if slight.

    Henry ford...production line assembly
    Jean Paul Sartre....Hemingway...
    My father (big in Nuclear Medicine- i mean very) My sister and her reformatory schools in New Engalnd area...my grandfather for exposing me to the list of everything I have presented...

    UCP and all you nutters for making me think

    Sigh.....Remind me again why you live in America.

    Why should white folk pay? Isn't that reverse discrimination?

    Why don't we abolish capitalism and go to socialism? Then we'd truly be in paradise

    Since I put what MadMax said in quotes, I was obviously refering to him.
