"It takes a village to raise a child" This is something that I learned growing up. All people influence the development of children. However, the parents are the substantial source for this development. The interactions of the parents affects the emotional development of the child and also the charcter of the child.

Great article and video. All must forgive when asked to be forgiven, and I do agree with you Fauzia, we must not hold a grudge and remind the other of past mistakes that they have made. To do so limits growth in a relationship.

interesting article :D

Here men wear traditionally shorts, not bikini, but then I have not been swimming in a very long time. So they might have changed, but don't thinks so.

interesting article

People here argue here in the states about health care costs, yes, it cost a lot here. However, at least we have a place to go to have our children! This is very sad!

Publius I think you are loosing the point of this story. Many write articles on this site about a variety of instances and ideas. Many are news worthy and some are shear stupidity. Just because the translation of a man's name is wrong, does not make the story wrong. I also researched this article as you said. I found differring view points of the husband being killed and also being in critical condtion. You may go and verify these sites and the incident as other news reporters reported. It is the same account.
Racism is about what exactly to you? Religion, culture, color of one's skin, or maybe just where you live or where your family is from. I say racism comes from all of these and not just as you say " You easily switch between the alleged racism of the mystery cop, to religious bigotry as the problem in this incident.
Are 'racism' and religious bigotry the same thing in your mind?
Most people recognize that they are two quite different things. There can be overlap...but it's not a 'given' that there is overlap in any situation."

Racism is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each racial group possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another racial group or racial groups.

The UN does not define "racism", however it does define "racial discrimination": according to the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination,

The term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.

Racial discrimination is treating people differently through a process of social division into categories not necessarily related to races.

Maulana Karenga argued that racism constituted the destruction of culture, language, religion and human possibility, and that the effects of racism were "the morally monstrous destruction of human possibility involved redefining African humanity to the world, poisoning past, present and future relations with others who only know us through this stereotyping and thus damaging the truly human relations among peoples."

So as you can see, racisim does not just point out one part of a person, however, all parts of a person.

Furthermore, you say; "Well, I hope that 'one set of people goooood, one set baaaaad' thing works out for you." When Yusuf states,"I know who is bad and who is wrong they r gooooooooooooooood." Are you saying you do not know who is good and who is bad? A person has the right to feel another person is good or bad.I hope that you can tell a good person from a bad person. I taught my daughter to identify bad people when they cause her harm, she learned this at 3 years old when her cousin hit her for jealousy, yes, she can even identify bad people! There is nothing here to say that he said a group of people except when he referrred to the comment from theeslamlover which states;"hamas and hezballh not bad they defence for their home not for other aims". At which point Yusuf responded back with "excuse me u think im saying that there are bad people i meant hamas and hezballah never ever" He does not refer to this group, he stated afterwards that he knows that there are good and bad people, all know that there are good and bad people.
So tell me what are your real issues with this article?

This is a wonderful architectural marvel, however, I pass! Fear of heights gets me.

Great article, couldn't have said it better! Socialism does not work and we need to not go there!

Palin is stepping down for her own motives and not really for embezzelment. Have you ever thought she just needed a break from life? Have you ever just got so tired you just didn't want to do it anymore? Maybe this is her issue now. She did great for Alaska and with all te family coverage and issues, she just might need a break.

This is a great article, I wish I knew how not to take on so much pain from others. I am a sensitive person and just reading a article about other's misforturne makes me cry. I wish there was more here on how to let go of this pain. I think about so many things and people it is wearing me down and I find myself totally drained sometimes.

Heck, I will even work for half of what one of these guys makes and be very happy to make that!

Are there any job openings at the "White House"? I really need one!

number one book to own! Helps all dealing wth frustration.

Oh my gosh please no!

hehehehehehehehe, now this would look very nice with my flower shaped post-its. Hey, theres an idea, I could write next article on flowers. Maybe the decaptation that happened when the kid ran over my flower bed with the lawn mower.

too tragic and so sad for the greatest pop artist to die so young.

Palin has done well for Alaska and yes, this might just be a ploy to get away from the spotlight.

great article, really liked the opening.

Nobody wants to die! He was a great artist with many things to do in his life still.
