I need more than just random web sources.

If my employer has me listed as single instead of head of household will I have lost money?

I need the pronunciations please.

If so, what should someone do if he wants to be a game designer and he doesn't like school?

What are the requirements and what are the restrictions?

In doing my taxes this year, I discovered that I could have deducted some things last year. Can I go back and file to get that money?

Why is it that the terms black, white, yellow, brown, and red continue to be used to describe groups of people when many of the people in those groups the color categories are used to delineate are not really that color?

Why not use terms like pink, beige, brown, tan, etc. and not to describe groups but to describe individuals who are actually those colors?

It sounds like a joke.

This is a follow up question to a quesion I asked a bit earlier. I am trying to understand the differing opinions about genital mutilation performed on boys and girls.

If female circumcisions were performed on newborn girls by licensed physicians in sterile hospital rooms, would that make them acceptable? According to my research, that is the only verifiable difference between mutilation of girls and mutilation of boys.

Why is it considered okay in the West to mutilate the sex organs of boys but not girls?

I'm stressing out. Should I be?

I can understand a person's right to say whether he or she is a racist, but why do people think they can speak about the existence of racism in general? Why do they want to? I was told by the university I teach at that our students are not racist BUT that I should tailor my teaching practices to accomodate the fact that many of them will find it difficult to be taught by an African-American woman. Why this contradiction? This is not a rant. I really want some insight into the psychology at work here.

This question is specifically for African Americans/ black Americans in (or who have been in) teacher education programs in the US. Have you experienced racism, prejudice, or anything else that made you feel uncomfortable from your mentors, professors, advisors. or lead classroom teachers? What were your experiences?

There have been so many shows and TV moments "honoring" Heath Ledger. The dude was in one or two halfway decent movies, but we are expected to revere him even though he sets a terrible example for young people. He chose drugs over his family and he was an irresponsible parent, so why do we need to honor him? People are acting as if the drugs he took were someone else's fault, yet there are so many PSA's telling kids to CHOOSE to stay off drugs. I don't get it. Why can't we tell the truth about this guy and stop celebrating him?
