49. Why are we so special. Why can't we believe the people telling us how bad they live?

It bothers me that we can hear 100 examples of how society hurts minorities (including women who are actually in the majority in this country) but only when a white male agrees is it taken seriously.

The people in charge ( and we all play a role here) are not being tough enough. This bullshit should be condemned by all people of all races, nationalities, cultures, religions, or lack thereof, and anyone that loves life, human beings and sex.
