igions? Like buddhism and Hinduism? I was in class and my professor starts spouting off bs about India and Hinduism and then he calls on a Persian or Arab or whatever of all students and starts asking him about Hinduism. What the hell does a white person or Persian/Arab know about Indian religions? Absolutely nothing. You people are desert religion folloers (christianity islam ). We Indians even the most ignorant taxi cab driver or 7-11 clerk still knows more about Eastern spirituality than any whitey, mid easterner, asian, black, latino or other non-indian.
why don’t you people stick to yur own culture? I mean I see buddha statues in places they shouldn’t be. In a nightclub/bar where alcohol and sexual behavior is allowed and a Buddha statue? how would you like it if us Indians put a Jesus or Muhammad in a bar or strip club?

religion, culture and ethnicity? I mean you practice yoga, are into the whole new age thing which borrows heavily from eastern religion/philosophy, and you are ashamed that your heritage is nothing but desert religions. I was just at the mall (valley fair in San Jose) and I noticed a couple of Arab or Persian or Assyrian (couldn’t distinguish) chicks at a makeup stand with two buddha statues on it. hahhaa as if a Persian or a-rab knows anything about Buddhism, which is an Indian originated religion. I went to a bar called V-Bar at Santana Row and there is a Buddha statue in the entrance way.

Little do you jesus freaks know that you are disrespecting OUR culture and OUR religion by placing these buddha statues in places where they shouldn’t be. Especially at a drinking establishment. If you want to stay true to your heritage then put a Jesus statue or something, something that fits your culture.

My cousin is in middle school and he tells me sometimes the white, black, mexican, and middle eastern kids call him names like “buddha boy” or gandhi and use other derogatory remarks about our culture and religin. We Indians (at least the TRUE un-Americanized ones) would never accept one of you as a devout HIndu or Buddhist. Stick to your bibles and/or korans.

What are my chances for Emory University?

My teacher asked me if I wanted an exchange student from England (I’m from Spain, but speak english like an american). I laughed SO HARD inside my head (I didn’t want one). I told it to my mom thinking she’d think the same but it turns out she wants one, my dad wants one and even my SISTER wants one. The thing is, the exchange student is for ME, not for them. She comes to school with me and will probably want to go out everyday (I’m more of an… inside… person). Whenever I try talking to my mom about it she gets really mad at me, even if I just mention it (she knows I don’t want one).
What can I do? I REALLY don’t want one because she’s gonna be annoying me all day (I have one british friend, and that’s enough), and will follow me around and I don’t like that (I like to be the follower).
I don’t care if I’ll like her or not, I just DON’T want one. How can I talk to my mom about it?

I’m thinking of going to Japan for my senior year as a Rotary foreign exchange student, since all my best friends are graduating in my junior year and I’ll be very lonely for my senior year. I’m from the U.S and I have some questions about it. (I’m in 10th grade right now and I’m in a wheelchair, I look as any girl would look like.)

1.) Is it worth my senior year?
2.) Should I do it?
3.) Will I catch on to Japanese fast?
4.)Are there any schools in Japan that are wheelchair accessible? If so list a school name and where its located at.
5.)Is the Rotary interview hard to pass?
6.) Will I be judged for being in a wheelchair?
7.) Will my host family help take care of me?

Please answer truthfully and be honest. Thank you!

Im going to be an exchange student in Australia for six months and I want it to be the best experience possible. I want to be near the beach with a lot of things to do. I am very active and love doing things outdoors which is why i thought Australia would be perfect. However, i don’t want to make my host family drive everywhere, so these activities would have to be near me.

ok so im 19 and i never really had a bf. last year i was an exchange student in the us (texas) and i really enjoyed it. i did great at school, all teachers liked me and i was among the best students in the class(i got a medal at the end of the year), i had no problems making friends, most girls were jealous of my looks and they said they wished they were like me, in the art class people always admired my work, etc. most guys complimented me on my accent and thought it was sexy, my host family adored me, even the neighbors did, they all said i was such a nice person etc. and that they were blessed that the god brought me to their lives. i made so many great friends (mostly girls though). but in spite all of that i was unable to find a nice guy to date. i dont understand, what is wrong with me or what could possibly put men off. i also tried to date older men (20+) but they all just wanted to use me… i think im quite confident and i also tried to make the first step a few times but the guy never really cared. on my FB profile i always say that im single, so the guys have no reason to think i have someone either. i dont mind being single but i feel lonely and i dont want just another friend
i try to make the first the step when i see a guy is shy but he always runs away

I am hoping to go to Japan as an exchange student but my parents say it will bring down my grades and I will miss out on school here. Is this true, or will I be able to learn as much in Japan?
