I went to your profile to see some good examples of writing. There`s nothing but blanks there

Re: # 7
I guess you`re scarred by nudity.
: o )
The naked truth is best. Though it tastes bitter and looks ``ugly``. It`s good medicine

Thanks. Taking ownership might be the most important thing an individual can do, and what a state can do. Taking responsibilities of your beliefs, thoughts, attitude, words and actions

Thanks Mahjabeen.
You sound very human
: o )
because often it is easy to become numb, so that we no longer care. Although there are some ``reality shows`` on TV, the start looking the same as soap opera`s. Like the language of war and football, on TV, becomes interchangeable.
Thanks for caring about what happens in our world

Re: # 3
Thanks Shantygal.
: o )
A friend told me, politics is everywhere, for example, the politics of a relationship between man and woman. The politics at work, in the group we work in, the boss, the co-workers. Any interaction with someone of a different race, religion, often creates a reaction, a measurement of who`s better, a comparison. A question rises in the subconscious: who`s dominant, who has more power. How do other people`s actions effect us.
Can we ignore War, Weapons sales, God, America, Racism, Imperialism and history, simply by labeling all of the above as ``Politics``?
The goosebumps tell the truth

Re: # 2
This sounds very interesting. Please let me know which movie. Sean Penn has done some great work, often emphazing real life versus fiction.
You`ve got me interested in this movie.
Thanks

Re: # 1
It seems you`re asking a complex question with several variables. I`ll say the answers are out there. I always recommend:
Noam Chomsky
Howard Zinn
Arundhati Roy
Cornell West
Edward Said
Eqbal Ahmad
http://kpfk.org ... our local radio station in L.A. supported by listeners only.
http://freespeech.org ... Free Speech TV on Dish Network, hidden at Channel 9415

Perhaps you can share some answers. I`m sure you have some.
Thanks

Re: # 82
One of my teachers gave this wisdom to men:
Never engage in an argument with a woman, because you can never win.
: o )
Women are superior to men in almost every way. One way is their communication and relationship skills. I`m sure you`d agree that the quality of ``leadership`` may become better better as there are more women who get into those roles. My only one concern is that though feminism may have done a lot of good, it also kind of told women to ``become like men``. Feminists told men to become feminine, and told women to become masculine. So what might happen is if a woman copies a man, she will become a person who`s worse than that man.
: o )
But this is no personal attack, I remember what my teacher said.
: o )
It`s hard to explain in a short paragraph, but if you read these three books of my teachers, they`ll say it much better than I could:
``Iron John`` and ``Sibling Society`` by Robert Bly. ``What Really Works With Men`` by A. Justin Sterling.
Sorry, I hope I didn`t offend you in any way. Men and women need to work together in partnership. Each has their special role, like ying and yang
