I'd like to meet:

Interesting people with a legitimate point of view. Those who aspire to inspire greatness in others. Those who offer solutions instead of just criticism. Those who work to build and restore instead of destroy and pillage. Those who have a heart with a purpose for others in lieu of their own personal agenda. Those who know that doing the right thing is the right thing regardless of whatever everyone else is doing.*************************************************** .CHRISTIAN CHILDRENS FUND Click here and SPONSOR A CHILD TODAY.!..!

Music:

I like all music, it is an expression and an art (although I may not agree with what the artist is trying to express) ...................................This is a great video, simply (as Carlos says) if you can't tell the joke in front of the people that the joke is about, then you probably shouldn't be telling it to anybody else. That would be the difference between comedy and bigotry
