We are handed letters with our names on them and are told they are a survey and that it is totally voluntary that we fill them out. When you open it up it tells you your name, ssn, employment number and gender. They know damn well what ethnic goup I'm in but still need to ask. 1) Indian, Native American 2 )Mexican or Hispanic 3) Black or African American 4) White White? White? If you ain't native, Hispanic, or black you are whitey? What about White American? I want a hyphen! I do have different ethnicities in me. Who the cares what color you are or how long you've owned the land? Why can't we be all Americans?

RoyalOrleans Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Catherine Zeta is beautiful! Wales produces the pretties. From what I have seen, I would have to agree. Could be due to the great romances of the Mabinogion. Quote To be the Man, you've got to beat the Man. - Ric Flair Everybody knows I'm known for dropping science.

emkay64 Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I like medieval literature and mythology, but haven't read much about it since my elective class in University :o I'm reading Haunted -- by Chuck Pahlaniuk (author of Fight Club) right now. It's all about masterbation, sex, murder and various other grim and twisted topics. It's kinda sick :o Black Humor....I love it. Quote
