Yeah, stereotypes can be a b****. People who stereotype too much destroyed a lot African-American life and culture in the U.S., as well as Jewish life and culture in Nazi Germany. I hope that one day, we'll be able to look beyond generalizations and categorizations, and see everyone as unique and individual. :)

I pray for peace everyday and do what I can to be a good person.

And I have a feeling your efforts are not going unnoticed. :wink:
Even if they were, they're probably still making an impact, however large or small, and I commend you for it. :)

Oh, thank you! You know, several months ago I started picking up trash on my way to and from school, and now there's hardly any litter dropped now!

Wow, prayer and action. :o You truly are a rare and special type of person, Kuraudo. I often times aspire to be like that, but lose myself in selfish wants and desires and hopelessness/despair, thinking that I can't do meaningful things for others (or that If I can, I can't sustain it). You've inspired me to try to change that around, though - and most importantly, to simply do my own personal best, in everything that I do during every day that I'm alive. :)

Aww, thank you! That's so nice! :D Yeah! Give it your all! :cheers:
I seem to have Chronic Hero Syndrome, so when someone's upset or needs cheering up, I instantly spring into action and try to help them. :oops:
