Does going to community college for 2 years first makes a difference to Medical Schools?

Would they prefer some one with 4 years at a university over some one with 2 years university and 2 years at a community college?

if you're worried about this (and trust me worrying isn't going to help) make sure you get great grades in both colleges you go to. talk with as many teachers as you can about how you can beef up your application and work on improving those test scores. trust me, showing that you've worked hard and you're capable means more than where you began. I began in community college because I barely graduated high school, and 6 years later I have my masters from Harvard. my advice would be don't let it stop you from going for your dream!

It doesn't really matter either way, in any field you go into. I go to a community college, and I'm planning on transferring to a university after next year. You can get the same credits, but a community college is usually cheaper, and most employers don't prefer one over the other. It's pretty much just your preference and what you want to do.
It shouldn't...what matters is your GPA at the university when you apply to medical school. Not everyone can afford college, and community college is a great way to save money. When you complete you AA degree at the community college, you can easily get into the university, however, the major that you will want to apply for may be competitive, so get the best grades that you can when you are at the community college. Those major professors will be looking for the students with the best grades to allow into their programs.

p.s. I have heard it is really, really beneficial to get a job in the medical field while you are going to school...so don't work in the movie theater if you can work in a doctor's office instead!
i have know idea about standards there. But if it;s my case, I need to know indept details on requirements of the medical schools i want to go to and make preparations in other facilities. Because they might not credit the knowledge i have acquired from other areas.

a sh*thole full of kids drunk with knifes not afraid to use them!!!!
Peaceful.

I live in a small rural village, we are all know each other. Only 100 people live here. So, we are a relatively close knit community.
I live in an appartment on a street with occasional traffic s but it is quiet in here and two other people live on my floor.
a middle class community who has boomed in industrial growth which had made it a hotspot for immigrants. 1 Overcrowded high school in the Urban area, and a medium sized high school in the Rural part of town. It has almost doubled it's population since 2000. It's neighbor of south had tripled
The houses in my town are fairly wide apart, but there is a lot of noise.

There are 15 children that live on my block and love to play in the street during the Summer. There are Basketball courts on the street and they bring out the skateboard ramps.

It is a very safe area. Nobody locks their doors. Everyone keeps an eye on eachother's home. It is a very small town with an adorable downtown area.

The closest mall is 30 miles away.
in the past it was quiet, a bit of gossip but that was it. nowadays during the day its quiet, but the moment the sun goes down the music turns up, then if your outside its every man for himself, police patrols in a poorish area the place where i live has turned into a cliche.
my community is a culturally diverse, busy and noisy place.i like it here, its so alive all the time, and its never boring.
mine is:

Nice (the only person not nice is me)

Quite (Most noisy person is me)

great view of the sea (only visit the beach a few times)

a university is near by (never went to that university)

nosy neighbors (not me)
my community is relatively middle class and quiet not many nosey neighbours they are ok i like them but we do have elements of pple from the Somali community and they dont like others that much they make the rest of us feel like kaffirs and if their children greet outsiders they get beaten until they have to snub us and the their population is increasing where i live and they arent becoming any nicer this is sincere no offense but its ok
My community has mainly families with one parent in the home or single people. It also has some younger married couples just starting off. This community is lower in house prices and taxes. I have a sex offender, plus a weird single guy across the street....I don't like that at all, so I usually keep the blinds in the front of my house closed. Not so fun.

So, I would say it is not the best community to live in. But we do have a good police officers that respond quickly to the calls they receive.

Most of the houses in this community don't have more than 3 bedrooms and lucky to have a basement.

The city does drive around and make sure that it is clean. Like you can't have extra cars and garbage in your yards and etc. When it snows they do clean the streets real well.

What is an income-restricted rental/housing community and how is a property determined to be such a

There is an apartment complex near where I work, and it is an "income-restricted" housing community where in order to be a tenant, your income cannot *EXCEED* a certain (i.e. there is a maximum to how much your income can be).

I am not sure I understand the purpose of having such a community, especially when the rental rates are as high as, or higher than, rental rates in comparable properties nearby - as is the case for this place.

What is the purpose of having an income-restricted rental property like this one, who decides that a property is income-restriced (and what is taken into account to do this) and who is benefiting from them?

What is an income-restricted rental/housing community and how is a property determined to be such a community?myspace ip

Income restricted housing is determined by the city or state. THe purpose of having such communties is to provide people with low income or people who have government assitance the ability to live in a nice affordable location.

My boyfriend is going to community college and i'm going to a 4 year university?

He says he wants to transfer after one semester of community college to the university i'm going to but I really don't know how that really works. Don't you have to go for a whole year for the university to accept you? I know you have to have around 30 hour credits but i don't know if thats around a semester or a year. He is going there because his parents say that he need to feel how college is like but isn't community college like high school?

My boyfriend is going to community college and i'm going to a 4 year university?kids myspace

It all depends on university policy, but not all universities require you to attend a full year of community college before you transfer. The other issue is whether the community college credits will transfer to the university he wants to attend. Not all credits transfer to all universities. He could end up shooting himself in the foot by transferring if his courses don't transfer.

Community college is NOT like high school. It's very much like attending a university, but you don't have the option to live on campus. Actually, in many states community college is a good deal because the education you receive at community college is every bit as good as (if not better than) the education you receive at a university, but it doesn't cost nearly as much.

BOTTOM LINE: If he's going to start in community college he's better off going for a full two years and getting his associates' degree. He'll save a lot of money, and (no offense to you) it's not a good idea to transfer to a university just because his girlfriend is going to school there. If he meets with a counselor before every semester, he can receive guidance that will ensure ALL the courses he takes will transfer to the university of his choice.

i am going to this community college

i have a question do community college are only for two years or four years? or in order to go to medical school i really have to apple for big university?

I have a question about community college please read it? thank you?wrestlers myspace

most CC's are 2 year colleges. you come out with an associates degree, or 1/2 way to getting the next highest degree, a bachelors degree. many go to a 2 year CC to get the "basics" out of the way. these are courses that everyone who gets a 4 year bachelors degree needs to take, regardless of your major. make sure that the credits you get at he CC transfer to a 4 year college or university. most do, and most CC's have agreements with local colleges and state universities. hope this helps, but make an appointment to see a counselor and have them answer all your questions. remember, you (or someone) is paying for the education so consider yourself a customer of the CC. in order to get into medical school you have to apply and get chosen, so it's important to get good grades in the first 4 years (undergraduate school a/k/a Undergrad). if you get accepted into a medical school then there are 4 more years, 2 years of residency, and then you are a doctor. it seems like many years but don't get discouraged. you can do it. time is going to pass whether you go to school or not, so you might as well spend it getting an education, coz it's really only 8-10 years of your life. the first 18 have passed, and after the next 10 years (which seems like a bad thing but you will make all kinds of friends and have all kinds of adventures in college) you still have another 70 years to enjoy life. the 10 years in school will help make those 70 years very very comfortable.

I have a question about community college please read it? thank you?love girls myspace myspace.com

yes community colleges are for 2 years but some offer 4 year programs like nursing or things like that. Usually you would get your AA and AA is 60 credits. Every one has to take

1 social science class

1 history class

Humanities 1 and 2

Composition (English 1, 2, and 3)

then in your AA you get 2 science classes and rest are all electives.

However since you want to go to medical school you would already know what your major is going to be. so instead of those electives you can take lower level classes in your major. and get your med school pre-reqs out of the way too.

Like me for example I am going to a CC but I told my professor I want to major in biology so I am taking a lot of biology classes. A list of all the lower level classes can be found at Facts.org

Now some people say that it is not wise to get your medical school pre-reqs at a community college but then the other half say that if your majoring in some sort of science it would not matter. because then you would be taking harder upper level classes at a university anyway and the med school would know that you can handle it.

Also keep in mind your GPA has to be at leasts 3.6 and Mcat score should be 25 or up.

These two things matter more then extra activities. Of course it helps if you volunteer or have a job at a medical type place. Like if you have a choice between working in a grocery store or a doctors office choose the doctors office.

Good Luck
Most community colleges are for two years, however there are some that are moving toward four year programs these days. Either way, when you get toward the end of your program at the community college, you should start applying to transfer to a four year program that will offer you a bachelor's degree. Typically, most of your credits will transfer over to the four year school. If you have an idea of what schools you are interested in going to for your four year program, I would look into them and their pre-med programs. That way, you can take the classes they require at the community college and they will transfer over (as long as you earn at least a C in the course).

Another common misconception is that not all four year colleges are large universities. I went to a small school of about 4000 students for my undergraduate work and earned my bachelors there. Unfortunately, on the graduate or professional level, most of the schools are larger schools, but the advantage is that you will really get to know the people in your classes because you will be working together on things on a more intense level than in undergrad, so it becomes almost like a smaller school within a larger university.
most community college are for two years but you can transfer after one year. in order to go to med school you have to transfer to a four year university, not a big name university just a four year university and take the MCAT and do well on it.
a community college is supposed to be 2yrs, but that's only if u have no remedial classes and u attend the college as a full time student for 4 semesters. If u fail, skip a semester or go less than full time oh and of course if u have any remedial classes it will be longer than 2 years.
To get into med school you must have a undergrad degree a Bachelor of Science (BS) or Bachelor of Arts (BA) form a collage of good standing. (not a on line school) It can be in any thing, but chemistry is the best shot to get in. You will also need to have good grades.

But you can start in a community college as long as your degree id from a 4 year school.

Med school is 4 years on top of the first 4 then you have medical residents for 4 to 8 years after that. So you have 12 to 16 years before your out on your own as a Doctor.
community college have both 2 years and four yrs degree ( associates- 2 yrs; bachelor- 4 yrs ). If you are serious about medical school you should consider a better university because it might offer more variety of courses and be able to better prepare you for the MCAT. I am a biology major who started college as Pre-Med but I have friends that did her first 2 yrs at a community college but transfer into my school afterward and graduated from the university. Med school care most about MCAT and GPA, then your undergraduate school...... Most of the time community college doesn't have a extensive pre-med program as university do......... I guess my advice is to aim for the bigger university if you are serious about medicine ( Also be prepare for a tough undergraduate curriculum ) Good Luck =)

To Nassau Community College Students/Alumni (nursing): (Medical Micro or Micro?)?

At Nassau Community College, which class is tougher or what's the difference: Medical Microbiology or Microbiology? I know NCC requires the first one for its own nursing program, but I'm just wondering if there's a small or big difference between the two. Please also explain why. I plan on majoring in nursing in the future. Thanks in advance.

To Nassau Community College Students/Alumni (nursing): (Medical Micro or Micro?)?myspace pictures

The major difference is probably that the Medical Micro focuses on how microbiology is relevant in the medical field. Some of the things you learn in microbiology have to do with plants, animals etc. and are not applicable to humans. I don't think one is "tougher" than the other. If you plan on doing nursing I would do the Microbiology course since the Medical Micro may not be accepted at all colleges in case you don't get into the nursing program at Nassau.

A trick I learned in nursing school : take your gen ed credits in the summer since the courses are shorter they cut out all the info you don't really need and focus on the real material. For example the course is 8 weeks as opposed to 16 and even though you go 2x per week the classes are still not as thorough as the regular courses. The summer classes are almost always easier and no one really wants to be there in the summer, both the professors or the teachers, and will usually let you out an hour early...

Should we stop trying to save the black community?

I was talking with my brother the other day about some issues within our community. And was surprised when he told me that he could care less. He told me that the only people he was concerned with was his immediated family(his wife, kids, brothers, sisters and parents). At first I thought this was a very selfish attitude, but after doing some thinking I couldn't help but to wonder if he was right. If every parent in our community taught their children how to act and teach them the life lessons that they need to succeed. Wouldn't that as a whole help the black community, one family at a time?

Should we stop trying to save the black community?how to view private myspace

The rub is this:

"how to act and teach them the life lessons that they need to succeed"

This is not as easy as it sounds.

If you raise your family to care only about your family, how are you any different than animals that care about teaching their young the "lessons they need to succeed" so that they can propogate and create more species, their species.

The very definition of civilization includes to care about your family and your neighborhood and your city-state.

Should we stop trying to save the black community?girls myspace myspace.com

Save them from what?
I think that would help any community.
Your brother is right. You can only save those in your immediate circle %26amp; sometimes you can't even save them. I can talk as a Black person. I don't live in "the Black community." I live in a neighborhood where not many Blacks live. I think we get hung up on trying to help ALL Blacks and you can't do it. If someone hasn't taught their child it's wrong to point at others in department stores %26amp; laugh out loud at them or that it's wrong to take a gun %26amp; shoot someone because someone laughs at you in a department store I can't do anything about that person they're just lost.
You cant save those who dont want to be saved for one...... And saved from what???? I'll tell ya what, saved from what their parents and grandparents have brought upon themselves.... Poverty? Welfare supports their worlthless butts.......The average black person would rather live in a shack and receive $400 in welfare and food stamps than work a part time job.....Or steal and commmit crime for a living....... This was nobody elses fault but thier own....... Lazy people, no doubt.
Problem is, no one in the black community knows who's kid is who's. Sista with 8 kids and 8 different daddies. Not a one wants to take responsibility.
Truth is, one person at a time is helpful, it takes one person to make a change,to show others that there is hope and before you know it the domino effect has taken over. give it a shot. you never know, his famly might make a difference. Martin Luther King did, Rosa Parks did. All single people who influenced todays socity. Keep an open mind. changes start at home.
I wasn't even aware that we have been trying to save the black community, don't ask me. Haha.
That makes perfect sense. I don't see why these people are making these stupid comments about lack people. If I said something about their white *** they would be mad. They need to chill the **** out. But anyway I think it would help not only the black community but the white, hispanic, asain, indian and who ever else.
Too many people who are parents don't spend quality time with their kids to teach them basic morals in life. I live in the Caribbean and something as simple as manners has been broken down through the generations. Most of these parents did not grow up with good parenting, many from single parent homes and others whose parents did not know better.

However change is possible but the individual must be willing to make that change first. No one can make it 4 them.
i think we should stop talking about race, don't you?
No, I don't think we should stop. Never stop trying to go into the poverty stricken communities. Never stop lending a hand and showing support. There are so many people and every day is a struggle for survival. There are good people living in these communities, all they need is to get out of that environment with a little help.
amen brother, instead of lumping yourself to a particular group, concentrate on living the best life you can, lead by example

What does your church do to help the community? What do you as an indivdual do to help the community

It seems that many are witnessing about Jesus...but, few are feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, and giving to the poor....how can they hear about God, if they are hungry...

Does your church do the work of God by helping your local community? Do you put as much money into programs for the needy as you do into building big chapels, improving your sound systems, buying your pipe organs, etc...?

Serious question....my church gives a lot to the community...a lot...however, percentage wise, we spend more on the building, maintenance, salaries, foreign missions, etc...are we losing our priorities?

What does your church do to help the community? What do you as an indivdual do to help the community?icons for myspace

GREAT Point James and I admire your honesty.

I used to give allot of money to the different churches I attended. And, in honesty, looking back on it, most of the money went back to the church and as a result back to me, for comfort and security in my church building and well being.

Now that I no longer attend church, I spend that time on real people in real need. I have found ways to help Veterans, and provide tangible goods to them, like socks, jeans, heaters etc. I also raise money for Cerebral Palsy and Multiple Sclerosis, and feel like I am really making a difference.

In the past I felt good about donating time and money, but in reality, was not really helping people that needed it. It was like giving money to a country club, where dues go towards the building and ground maintenance, and every now and then a charitable golf tournament is run. What is the difference?

Witnessing about Jesus is a fine goal, but if it is done so at the risk of not helping others tangibly is it a good thing? If a church spends money printing pamphlets to send to Africa (Millions of religious pamphlets are sent to Africa by churches in the US every day) but doesn't spend money on food or medicine, is that Christ like? Or Good, or right? Poor starving African kids can't eat paper, and I believe it is highly cruel to send them pamphlets in the place of food, but that is just my belief.

What does your church do to help the community? What do you as an indivdual do to help the community?hidden myspace myspace.com

I like your passion to help others. However, I must remind you of our NUMBER ONE priority on earth, when it comes to loving others - its witnessing about Jesus. That is our top priority above everything else.

What we should be doing is witnessing to others WHILE helping them with earthly matters. Spread the gospel WHILE serving the homeless lunch; talk about Jesus WHILE building a home for a poor family; and talk to a child about their faith and about the gospel WHILE doing the Big Brothers and Sisters program (which is a ministry my wife and I are currently doing).

We are called to help those in need - but we must never forget that we do this Christ's sake. Clothing someone won't save their soul (and neither is someone likely to talk to you about their faith if they're are struggling just to get by) - so we must help them with their physical needs AND attend to their spiritual needs.
I don't see churches doing much around here or anywhere I've lived.
Alot of churches feel threatened by non-christians and even other christians. They invest large sums in the hopes to retain their congregation as well as to promote it to grow. Maybe if they stopped paying attention to statistics and focus on being christians they wouldn't worry about outside forces so much.
i'm not not part of a church

i lead meditation in our local jail. they say they love it. don't know if it does any good, of course.
My church donates thousands of dollars every month to community relief efforts, including donations to homeless shelters that are run by other churches and groups aside from our own. We provide free food, clothing, medical care and funeral expenses for many people, and help foreign newcomers get adjusted to life in this area. Personally, I've helped out at the homeless shelters, bought Christmas gifts for strangers, given time and money to literacy efforts, did free tutoring, and much more. In addition to church, I belong to several charitable organization that are well-known for helping those in need.
My Church does quite a bit, I believe. We have supper on Wed. nights that is free, we give money to our local Pregnancy Center, and the youth group has adopted part of the highway that we clean once a month, and we do little projects throughout the year. We too give money to foreign missions which I think is great to know that we are helping Christians who are willing to put their lives in danger in order to share Jesus with others. I don't think we have lost our priorities just yet.
My church operates the area's largest homeless shelter. We often pay people's electric and heating bills if they can't afford it, and many of our members volunteer for Habitat For Humanity and other organizations. During Hurricane Katrina, we were called upon to take strangers into our homes, which we did, and many of our parishioners worked day and night in relief efforts. We help people in developing nations. We give supplies to local battered women's shelters, and sponsor free dental care. As for myself, I also volunteer with a number of different groups that are not church-related.

Why and how the Jewish community became 'homeless' in the world for thousands of years?

Israel is not the land of the Jewish people; it is the part of Palestine forcefully taken by the Jewish by the help of America and Britain. Would Israel really be able to keep its existence for long time? What may happen if for any reason, US pulls out its supports from Israel? Would the Jewish community be homeless again? Is it the divine fate of the Jewish community that they would get all the best things in the world but not a real homeland for themselves ever and remain ever stray people?

Why and how the Jewish community became 'homeless' in the world for thousands of years?default myspace

The fact that Israel was exiled from it's homeland 2000 years ago isn't questioned by Christians or Arabs. For the past 2000 years the Jews mention in their prayers 3 times a day the wish to return to their land.

Who knows what G-d's plans are, but the way it has worked out is that the United States has been a very good "messenger"to Israel. It is probably a great merit for them.

Why do people constantly criticize community colleges? - Debate?

I don't understand why people are willing to pay a ****-load of money just to take classes at a four-year that they could get out of the way CHEAPER in a two-year. From what I've gathered, the quality of education at both the four-year and two-year are equal. And yes, I'm aware that it depends on the school you go to (there are bad four-year and two-year schools out there)- but in general. Why do you believe there is such stigma attached to community colleges? Does it revolve around 'higher cost=better education quality' or are there deeper roots than that? Why do some people feel the urgency to 'rain on other peoples' parades,' who are attending or plan to attend a community college? Is it a conformity matter or does it stem from four-year goers' own insecurities? Any other questions that come to mind regarding this subject? Opinions about society? Anything? Maybe you see that it's the four-year colleges who suffer? Whatever thoughts are welcome.

Now... DEBATE!

Why do people constantly criticize community colleges? - Debate?celebrities myspace

It's just like buying a brand name product!

Some people are under the false impression that a CC degree is inferior, I beg to differ! It makes sense to go to a

2 yr College, get the core, requirement courses out of the way then transfer to a University or a 4 yr College for your Bachelors Degree.

Its also makes sense economically and financially.

Besides, If you do well at the CC level, YOU will do well at any University or College level.

Why do people constantly criticize community colleges? - Debate?small myspace myspace.com

well, i go to a community college and i hate it when people look down on me for it. I take classes that are just as difficult as a "University" or "a real college." And you did make a good point, if anything, the community college is better for the pocket. Spend less and get the same credits, sounds like a deal to me. I think the people that look down on community colleges are snobbish and are full of themselves.
People criticize community colleges who do not know any better. I attended University first, then took some community college classes later for licensing purposes. I thought the classes at the community college were better!

They can't coast on some ivy league reputation. Their graduates actually have to know something, and won't be slid through because of the sports program or who their Daddy is, and graduates of CC's go straight to the finest schools in the nation and world every semester, including straight into jr. year of pre-med at many colleges.

So, get off of it, snobs!

PS: Which MORON!!! is voting negative on all these answers?
I don't have a problem with a community college. I have taken several courses at a community college before transferring to a university. Probably saved a ton of money going that route. I also intend on encouraging my kids to go to community college first to get into the swing of things. I know people who took out student loans to attend a big university but never finished school, now they owe all this money for nothing.
I myself have attended a community and university and community college was just as challenging if not more than the university i attended it all depends on the teacher you have not the school
I agree. My city has an excellent community college.

Be proud of your accomplishments so you can continue on.

But, why do you care so much? You answered your own question sufficiently. You know the reasons. Some people would rather not shop at Walmart, as well. It's just elitist BS. Just be proud of what YOU do. Others would love the opportunity to go to any college. Maybe you should go to high schools and recruit for your college. Bring somebody else up. Tell this story to young people that don't realize they can be successful with a 2 year degree.
Community colleges are wonderful for their purpose. Their purpose is NOT to get advanced degrees or to go to professional school, but rather to get needed training to make a difference in practical careers. There is nothing wrong with that. It is also a good, inexpensive way to make a life change later on when you want to get a better job.

Community colleges are not a substitute for the rigorous type of education you will get from a four year college (speaking generally, of course, there ARE very bad 4 year colleges). The classes are more rigorous and more difficult at the four year colleges and universities, and they are designed to prepare you for further academic work or professional school.

So basically, for many careers, a community college can be an inexpensive and practical alternative to a pricey four year. However, it is not a good way to prepare for an advanced degree. So, it depends on your goals. People who criticize may just be...snobs? I don't know.
I know that my 2 year college has a very high success rate in my specific program more so than the local four years... employers who see graduates of my college are more apt to hire them over the four year as the state has given us very high marks... I agree it has to do with the college but I think a community college is just as good.
Because some people are elitists. In my view, it is better to go to some kind of school and get some kind of training/skill so you can go out into the world and make some money. Take, for example, an LPN or an HVAC specialist or a mortician. We all cannot be doctors and lawyers, but we should all strive to be the best we can be. Why throw away 4 years when you can get what you need in 2 and still make a decent living.
In many cases, students in the community colleges use the same textbooks they use in the prestigious schools, and their teachers might have as much if not more experience or ability to teach.

I guess it comes down to finding a job. Hiring managers don't know how to ask the right questions, so they rely on things like school name, gpa, etc.
Community college instructors are not as educated in the fields/subjects that they teach and they do not provide the quality of education that can be provided by a good four/five year college or university.

If you want to excel in a field, you must attend a university where that department or college has earned national recognition. When applying for a job, your resume looks much better with an excellent university listed under education. This also tells the interviewer that you are truly educated in that field and you will earn more money.
It's a status issue. I personal think going to a community college is a good idea. When I was in High school I was talking to this girl and told here I was looking into going to the community college. She was like "Oh No! Don't do that!" But she was a snob. The only people that think that there is something wrong with community college are snobs.
I'm sure that the main reason people look down on community colleges, is that AnYbOdY can attend one. You have to have good SAT scores to get into a 4 year, but you don't need that for a comm. college. You don't even need to take the SAT to go to one. However, community colleges are still a great option...especially for those fresh out of HS who need a year or two to truly figure out what they want to gear their studies towards. I did that and got the immature first year or two out of my system, then did MUCH better than I would have once I got to the 4 year university.
It is always wrong to look down on someone just because he or she went to a certain type of college. There are plenty of really intelligent people that go to community college, and they contribute well to society. Now, with that having been said, community colleges may not be practical for everyone, just as four year colleges may not be practical for everyone. For the most part, community colleges only offer two-year degrees (Associate's Degrees). Some people may need a more advanced degree than that to do what they want to do with their careers.

Some people choose to start with a community college, and then transfer to a four-year college after they finish with the community college. This can be a good way to get started, but if a person is going to do that, he or she needs to make sure that the four-year college of his or her choice is going to accept the credits earned at the community college. Often, when a person transfers colleges, he or she ends up "losing credits." This means that courses taken at the first college aren't accepted by the second one, which means they are essentially lost in that they will not apply to the degree being sought. If you're going to start at a community college, you need to check and make sure that this will happen minimally if at all when you transfer to a four-year college from the community college.

In all, people who look down on someone just for going to a certain type of college are snobs. We all have different goals in life, and as long as we are pursuing our own happiness and doing something good for the world, all of our goals are important in our own ways. We need LPNs and EMC technicians just as badly as we need good lawyers, doctors, and dentists.

Well, that's all I have to say on the topic. I hope it's helpful to all those interested.

Do i need to send transcript to new community college?

i did horrible my first year and a half in the community college that i attended. i want a "fresh start" so i am going to attend a new community college, set my priorities, and do a lot better than i have done. however, MUST i send in the transcripts? i feel that even though it's a community college, they will be hesitant to admit me. I don't mind doing everything over, but I really don't want to be rejected.

I'm in Southern California, btw

Do i need to send transcript to new community college?myspace quotes

If the school requires it for admission. then yes, however explain what you have said here. That can make an impact.

Otherwise, no.

Good luck.

Do i need to send transcript to new community college?layouts for music myspace myspace.com

not unless you want to use those credits

Start over, do better - good luck!!

Happy Holidays!
no you don't have to unless there are credits you want to transfer over.
Even is u did terrible, its important to get those transcripts and possibly use those credits, you earned them, put them to work for you, good luck.
I can't believe they would not admit you based on bad grades. After all, you are a paying student. As long as you pass their entrance exam, what difference does your past college experience mean, unless they have thousands of students on a standby list? Good luck.
Every transcript from every college you attended must be provided to every subsequent college you apply to or attend.

If you fail to do so, you will find yourself suspended or expelled or worse for defrauding the school to which you are applying, even if you eventually do better.

There are no "do overs" or "fresh starts" like you describe for adults. Sorry, that went out with childhood.

Period.

Even in southern California.
If you want the credits that you paid for to transfer so that you do not repeat those classes.

But I guess you can start over.

Good luck

A question about the vegetarian community?

I've been thinking a lot about cutting meat out of my diet, for health reasons mostly, but of course also because I do not want to support the current meat industry.

The last few years I went from regular meat to free range and biological meat, eggs and milk.

I have just one concern. And it's silly. But it's still a concern. I know I won't be able to do it all in one day and I have to take baby steps. My goal is to cut out all meats, but to continue eating dairy and eggs (free range of a local farm). I've been researching and reading a lot about a healthy diet, about the community and have seen a lot of people voice their opinions.

Here's the concern, do vegetarians and/or vegans look down on people who eat meat or on flexitarians or those that eat dairy or eggs? I see some pretty harsh comments around and it's for me a block in taking the step, because I don't judge people and dont want to be part of such a judging community.

A question about the vegetarian community?custom myspace

The first thing you need to do is stop worrying about what other people think. It seems people will always give you their opinions whether or not they are solicited some of them will be constructive and like you have said some will act as a barrier for you doing something. If you are cutting out meat for health reasons (which is what I did) you are doing it for yourself and not for anyone else and this point is what you need to stay focused on.

There are pros and cons of both gradually cutting something out and going cold turkey as it were. and you need to find which way works best for you. It helps to look at the psychology behind why you eat meat are you eating it because its convenient, lack of alternatives, habit etc if you look at the reasons you personally eat meat you can then identify whether they are real reasons or not and make the changes to your diet accordingly. Although not intended as an aid to becoming vegetarian there is a book by Allen Carr (the man who did the stop smoking books) entitled be the exact weight you want to be (or something similar to that) In the book he identifies the reasons we give ourselves for eating certain foods and helps identify the myths behind the stories. one such chapter covers meat and should help to reinforce your health beliefs behind the change.

Good luck. Don't be put of by people judging you

A question about the vegetarian community?myspace ip myspace.com

Well, important for what or whom? Are you asking, is vegetarianism important for spiritual awakening? Actually there are many spiritual people who are not vegetarians. I have been vegetarian for most of my life. For me, it has been easier to not eat meat. however I have never killed an animal in my life. In our ashrams we eat vegetarian food. It is lighter (satvic) in the body to eat vegetarian. It will make a difference to your entire physical system to omit meat from your diet. But is it important?
I don't look down on anybody. But I do get annoyed when people eat animals and say they are "vegetarians."
I don't look down on anyone.

When someone eats nothing but meat because they are avoiding "carbs", I do think that they look really foolish.

I'm vegan and everyone that I love is not.

Like Majnun says, vegetarian don't eat any type of animal, not even shrimp, worms or ants. People that eat animals but call themselves vegetarian can get irritating pretty quickly.

--------------------------------------...

You can't determine the merit of an ideology based on the attitudes of a handful or even the majority of it's adherents.
I don't think there is a correlation between judgmental people and what they choose to eat.

I was a vegan in the late '70's and early 80's and a member of our local food co-op. Our store and social events had all kinds of people gathered together without making judgments about who ate what. Everybody was welcomed to enjoy the benefits and camaraderie. Some of the meat eaters didn't care for spinach lasagna and the vegetarians didn't care for whitened flours. So what, we didn't think any less of the others choices, just accepted they were different.

But if you are worried about what other people think about you, well what you choose to eat isn't the problem. Sure some will have strong convictions and want to insist their way is the only right way, but that happens everywhere in every situation. You should focus on what's right for you and forget about what others say. Trust yourself and never regret your decisions. Appreciate the differences because they can be totally opposite, yet complementary to each other.
What exactly is your concern? that people will judge you for your diet choices ??? If you dont care about others judgement it wont matter.
It sounds kinda weird to criticize someone for judging-isn't that a form of judging?

Do what you want and let criticism slide off your back.
Well, you can't really lump all vegetarian in one group and ask if they look down en-mass on meat-eaters.

No, most don't.

Also, remember that many of the nasty comments on here are posted by meat-eaters posing as vegetarians ( Ashley being the prime example ) to give the community a bad name.

Try signing up for the veggie society or the IVU, or go and stay in a veggie hotel to get a real flavour of what real vegetarians are about.

I suspect if "Flexitarian" was called "flexist" the word would not be as popular. Many people seem to associate with the word Flexitarian because it sounds like its related to vegetarian, which it is not.
The way I see it, any steps you are taking toward reducing the suffering of animals and reducing your economic support for the current animal foods industries, is a good thing. I think the thing that irks the veg*n community is the misuse of the terms "vegetarian" and "vegan." As long as you don't call yourself a vegetarian whilst still eating the flesh of dead animals, nobody can judge you for your dietary choices. And as long as you don't call yourself a flexitarian vegan, which realy puts the moron in oxymoron, you'll be fine. There are always going to be some judgemental veg*ns, but you are already a part of a judging community (surely you've noticed some of the vitriol spewed here towards veg*ns by meat-eaters?) My point is, it's your choice as an individual to rise above that, regardless of which diet you eat.
I don't think in the "real world" the vegetarians/vegans are as judgmental as the militant fanatic veggies in the V%26amp;V forum. Here if you don't conform to the standards you are going to be ridiculed to no end. Eat what you want to call yourself whatever you would like and don't let this forum label you.
I don't judge people, it's their own choice. People who pretend to be vegetarians or vegans annoy me a bit though, especially when they go around giving people advice on here, most of all the vegetarians or vegans who think that by adding the word flexitarian after vegan/vegetarian means that they can eat anything. Me and my little brother are vegetarians but neither of my parents are, it doesn't bother me at all though that they eat meat around me or anywhere else, they aren't pretending or doing it on purpose to annoy me, they eat meat because they want to. They have no problem with me being a vegetarian and I have no problem with the fact that they eat meat.
Every vegetarian and vegan i have met in the real world were kind and supportive of any steps at meat reduction. Meanwhile on this forum some can't even behave themselves when answering a post like this. But anyway, even on yahoo answers i dont think its a judging community so much as one that likes to argue about silly things like word usage and is somewhat frustrated by trolls and misinformation. I like your post, perhaps it might help some of the more hardcore militant vegies on here to see that they are chasing people away and this should be a movement that opens its arms to anyone willing to take any steps toward meat reduction, and i think, for the most part, it is such a movement.
No, I don't look down on people who eat meat. Most veg*ans grew up eating meat, and it took an epiphany and an adjustment to become vegetarian. And almost all of us encounter meat eaters in our lives. Many meat eaters are stuck in a bad habit and have fallen for all the pernicious myths out there (the protein myth, the milk-calcium myth, etc.). And veg*anism isn't for everyone.

Any step you take to reduce your animal product consumption is a positive one. And if you can see the conditions under which the cows from whom you get your milk and the chickens from whom you get your eggs live, you can ensure that they are less cruel than most animal products. I say "less cruel" because there really is no such thing as a humane animal product. Cows kept for their milk and chickens kept for their eggs--even the so-called free-range animals--are killed when production declines, well short of their normal lifespan. And many of us in the veg movement get angry when we hear about "humane" meat because it doesn't matter how nice a life the animal had, s/he is still killed in the same slaughterhouse at the end.

I am not judging the people who eat these products as much as I am those who produce them. They are lying to the people who care about animals but still want to enjoy their meat guilt-free. They are exploiting people who think the animals they eat should be "happy" (they'd be a lot happier if they weren't being raised for food). The people who eat the so-called "free-range" are victims of greenwashing.

Bottom line: You have to make the right decision for you and do so at the pace that is right for you.
I don't look down on people who eat differently than i do. It just bugs me when people go, i'm a veg*n or i'm a flexitarian, because it's like no. If you're a veg*n you DON"T EAT MEAT! and if you're vegan, you don't eat eggs, milk or honey or use animal byproducts. it's just a thing. but if people are like, i'm omnivore, it's like cool and i don't care. i can accept people who don't try to pretend they're something they're not.
I am vegetarian and my whole family eats meat. Of course I do not look down at meat eaters
I can only speak for myself. Your PATH is your choice.

Many of us started with "Baby Steps".

"Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to start where he was." Lao-Tzu

I see negative reactions mostly when a person comes in here %26amp; starts slamming the V%26amp;V group. Just BS stuff, not real commnets or concerns. It happens allot in the Religion section too. When I see non-productive %26amp; rude answers I give them the thumbs down, I try to vote on good questions %26amp; goods answers. It just takes a minute of time to do so %26amp; it will help the "Community" grow strong %26amp; be helpful to others. Is that not the point of us being here? I find I learn as much as I teach.

Slaint茅(to your health)
If you want to take baby steps into this diet/lifestyle, then do it. That's how I did it. It took me a couple of months, but I gradually cut all meat and fish out of my diet. I still eat dairy products, but that's next on the cutting out list.

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or says. It's your life and your choice, no one elses.

Good luck! :D
I have no problem with people eating meat, and none of my friends do either, most of us are vegetarian, mostly lacto-ovo, so, I wouldn't worry about it. Of course there are some awful people who will probably call you immoral, but I don't think you are. The people you have to watch out for are the crazy ones, like the lady who's mad at her aunt for using yeast in bread, "'cause it's alive and feels the pain while you bake it." So, yes, take baby steps, and try not to think about what other people think of you, I know it's hard, but just try.
a lot of vegans and vegetarians look donw on people. personally i dont. what you eat doesnt make you better or worse than someone else. its really disgusting that a group so ready for peace for animals and who see lives as lives, no better or worse can be so mean and judgemental to people because they're different.be who you are, if you dont like yto judge, your diet wont change that.
I'm a transitioning vegetarian myself, and I do not look down on people. The way I see it, is that there probably always will be meat-eaters and I should just get used to it. And besides I'm not going to jeoperdize any friendships because people I know eat meat. Although, there are a lot of people that would, I say that you have just met some "harsh" veg. heads. Good Luck To You!
Yep. They look down on us big time. Is that going to make me stop eating meat...NOPE. Why? Because I like to eat meat. Meat makes me feel good. Simple as that.

I asked my little four year old nephew if eating meat made him sad, because I explained to him that in order to get things like lamb chops...a baby lamb was killed.

He told me with a straight face, "Okay? That's fine. Lions kill stuff all the time on the animal show."

Smart kid.

To everyone in the GLBT community?

I am a bisexual woman who is and has been in the same monogamous relationship for 3 yrs. I never cheat on my partner, nor have I ever wanted too. I feel totally attracted to both men and women (this includes transgendered people) equally and have dated as well as had relationships with women and men and each relationship, I have remained monogamous. I have in the past been rejected by some people both lesbians and straight men when they find that I am bisexual because they think that I wouldn't be monogamous. Even when I told them I don't cheat, I wasn't believed. So basically those people believed all of the stereotypes about bisexuals.

My questions are, firstly, do you think a lot of people in the gay and lesbian community still feel this way? Secondly, if any other bisexual monogamous people have experienced this?

I love that the GLBT community is so diverse but sometimes I get the feeling that bisexuals aren't always 100% accepted. Thanks.

Don't worry about some straight people think that gay in general people can't be monogamous!

Anyone who would judge you on your past relationships, has issues. Be proud of who you are, at least you are being honest. When you share something personal with anyone, you open yourself up to their insecurities as well. Be who you are and be proud of it. That is what LGBT is supposed to be about, pride in who you are, not what someone else thinks you are.
not so much rejection..i think the fear of a bi sexual partner is based on the idea that there exist a greater chance that your bi-partner will be attracted to twice as many people.

ie; if i date a hetro-female, i only question her finding guys attractive..if she is a Bi-female im dating..she will be attracted to both guys and the girls..so my odds of loosing er to another lover are twice as high.

In one way it will make a reationship better ' coz we will try so much harder to be good and save it.

on the other hand when the relationship has its troubles..-as all relationships will - we are faced with double the competion.

To the other replies above about - the right and wrong of gay or bi- lifestyle... eating pork is an abomination unto God but most americans had bacon or ham or sausage this morning..

send a reply reffering to Acts: 10

Peters vision' ...it is NOT related to food we eat.. Peter sees all sorts of animals and is told "everything God created is Good " ( for its purpose) PIGS are created for the purpose of helping keep earth free of garbage .. their not created for consumption by us...also

read the entire chapter to the end and PETER says ' he understands the vision to be a message from God ..not to refer to men (MEN ) as unclean.

And dont dare refer to Gospel that reads " let no man judge you to what you eat " that refers to a specified time and not pork but to what clean food will be chosen.

GOD DOES NOT CHANGE'' He called the swine unclean and it is still so today, tommorrow and forevermore.

Gays-Lesbian , Pork eaters, Adulters ( Str8 sex without marriage) Smokers ( cigs/pipes/cigars) Liars, (white lies included) cheaters, manipulaters all are equal in Gods eyes and all have an equal opportunity or denial....so stop putting gays and lesbian on blast ....its not your call.
Yes, there is a lot of "biphobia" unfortunately. It all stems from a fact that we seem adamant in refusing to empathize with each other. That does include gay people. Mile in my shoes, and all that.

And I'm sorry, that first answer is classic.
I am also a bi-sexual female, and I've run across the same issue, men *and* women believing that it's not possible for a bi-sexual person to be faithful. (Of course the men loved the idea! lol) It is possible though, and I've always been the faithful type. I'm not the type of woman that has to have someone of each sex in her life to be happy, when in a relationship it's the person that makes me happy and monogamous. I have been married to a man, and was faithful, (we split up because he wasn't) and I am now happily married to a woman (registered in DC as a domestic partnership and a Canadian wedding) and am perfectly happy.

More and more, the GLBT community is learning to accept us 'bis' as one of their own, and realizing that we can be just as monogamous as they can. As a rule, we're not any more likely to cheat than any one else, and I think that just as with any other stereotyped section of society, eventually people will realize that the stereotypes are wrong.
Unfortunately you are a victim of a stereotype. For me being a crossdresser the first question everyone seems to ask is am I gay. People can't seem to accept that what they have been brought up to believe and what is the fact are sometimes two different things.
Some people might not like this answer - and I'm from the "t" part of the spectrum, so that gives 'em even a bit more to criticize - but I think that there are many in the GLBT community that disdain monogomy. I have some great g, l, b and t friends that are monogomous - but I think that those whoe are monogomous are often looked at in a suspicious fashion - like, yea, sure you are - when your significant other is around. Its kind of sad because - (1) some don't want to allow others to just be who they are; and (2) its sort of self-loathing - like, we're just not good at that kind of stuff. I'm not saying that everyone is that way - I just often got that vibe when I used to say that I was monogomous - when I was in a monogomous relation. I felt that I just wasn't taken seriously. So I don't think that it is necessarily only a bi issue - I think its also a monogomy issue.
i'm going to agree with what some have put above and put yeah, it is stereotyping and bi-phobia. in the same aspect though, in my personal history, there is a lot of 'phobia' within the glbt spectrum, ie; lesbians %26amp; ftm's, gay males and mtf's, things like that. it's something that i think everyone has to deal with in some aspect, and untill perceptions change on all levels, it'll be around for a while at least.

good luck!

I am transferring from a community college to UNC in Colorado. However i have no idea what to do.?

I know this probably sounds bad but i don't know what to do to transfer. I have 59 credits at my community college some of which probably won't transfer to UNC and im majoring in psychology. I think some of them will transfer there but i don't want to continue wasting my time at this community college if i could transfer to a University. Also, I don't know how to go about getting financial aid there. Is it the same? i just fill out a fafsa but put in that school code? if my EFC is currently 00000 will my pell still cover my tuition for UNC even though its out of state? How is UNC? I've never been there and look foward to it because its not too far and within commuting distance. I'm just all around confused on everything and nobody will help me. I've tried talking to my advisor but nobody is telling me what to do. Should i transfer now or get my associates degree first??? i have a headache from all of this. =(

I am transferring from a community college to UNC in Colorado. However i have no idea what to do.?flash myspace

get your associates degree first. its much easier to get into a good 4 year school with a good gpa from a community college. and please consider double majoring. nothing wrong with psychology, but you will be limited if you do not double major. your second major should be something like business, computer science, finance, management science, maybe a second language if you like a language. as far as financial aid, just talk to the financial aid people at UNC instead of your advisor at the community college. Remember, your advisor does not care about what you do when you leave the community college....only what you do when your there. UNC will be getting your business so they will be the ones to help you out with financial aid questions. make an appointment with them and make an appointment for a tour with them.

What about Community Guidelines?

Do the people who spout of the community guidelines to you remind you of whiney 5 yr olds?

"Mommy, so and so isn't playing by the rules and they are having alot mroe fun than me" "waaahhhhh"

What about Community Guidelines?myspace quizzes

Yes, and I believe they are incapable of having an interesting thought of their own.

What about Community Guidelines?funny myspace myspace.com

Heh, yes.

Pretty much any question or answer violates the community guidelines to the sufficiently motivated bean-counter.

It never fails to amuse me when some noob says something like, "If you don't like violations, then stop committing them."
I block them, they are too pathetic to bother with
never thought of it that way, but now that you mention it, yes.
chatting, rant, reported, blocked and deported to guatemala
How sad would it be to play by the rule and live a life of conformity. Must be quite boring really.

need ur desperate help

Trasnfering to a 4 year university from an average ranked community collage..possible?myspace games

It depends on the school you want to transfer to. For example, in Texas, if you wanted to transfer to UT Austin, you would probably need a much higher gpa than 3.0. I don't know about NY, but I have a feeling the better unis there would require higher than a 3.0 gpa for transfer too.

(Also, in Texas at least, if you are an international student and not a citizen or permanent resident, it is a bit more competitive to transfer.)

The websites of the schools you want to transfer to may have information about the average grades of students accepted in transfer.

In anticipation of your transfer, be sure to consult with your advisor about the proper courses to take, and be sure to keep all of your course descriptions and syllabi, just in case there is a question of the content/transferability of the courses you took.

Good luck!

Trasnfering to a 4 year university from an average ranked community collage..possible?big brother myspace myspace.com

no problem. just make sure the courses you take at the cc are transferable...talk to your advisor.
Theoretically, you can transfer to any university from any community college as long as you have a 3.0 or better. However, transfer admissions, just like freshman admissions, to some colleges are very competitive, and just meeting the minimum criteria would be like applying to Harvard as a freshman with only a high school diploma earned with a 2.0.

If a school has competition for its transfer slots, it can take the best of the applicants. Assuming they have lots of applicants from better community colleges with better GPAs, they will pick them over you.

As an example, here in California, graduating from community college doesn't guarantee you will get into UC Berkeley or UCLA (or even into one of the better CSUs, like Cal Poly SLO), but you probably can get into one of the lesser UCs or CSUs.

To everyone in the GLBT community?

I am a bisexual woman who is and has been in the same monogamous relationship for 3 yrs. I never cheat on my partner, nor have I ever wanted too. I feel totally attracted to both men and women (this includes transgendered people) equally and have dated as well as had relationships with women and men and each relationship, I have remained monogamous. I have in the past been rejected by some people both lesbians and straight men when they find that I am bisexual because they think that I wouldn't be monogamous. Even when I told them I don't cheat, I wasn't believed. So basically those people believed all of the stereotypes about bisexuals.

My questions are, firstly, do you think a lot of people in the gay and lesbian community still feel this way? Secondly, if any other bisexual monogamous people have experienced this?

I love that the GLBT community is so diverse but sometimes I get the feeling that bisexuals aren't always 100% accepted. Thanks.

To everyone in the GLBT community?myspace layouts

Don't worry about some straight people think that gay in general people can't be monogamous!

I am a fully fledged lesbian and I believe bisexual people can be faithful, if that helps!

In all groups af people there are going to be ingnorant individuals who give us all a bad name! You seem as ifyou have found your soul mate so be happy with that and let other peoples ignorance go over your head or just laugh about it, I do

To everyone in the GLBT community?codes for myspace myspace.com

Anyone who would judge you on your past relationships, has issues. Be proud of who you are, at least you are being honest. When you share something personal with anyone, you open yourself up to their insecurities as well. Be who you are and be proud of it. That is what LGBT is supposed to be about, pride in who you are, not what someone else thinks you are.
not so much rejection..i think the fear of a bi sexual partner is based on the idea that there exist a greater chance that your bi-partner will be attracted to twice as many people.

ie; if i date a hetro-female, i only question her finding guys attractive..if she is a Bi-female im dating..she will be attracted to both guys and the girls..so my odds of loosing er to another lover are twice as high.

In one way it will make a reationship better ' coz we will try so much harder to be good and save it.

on the other hand when the relationship has its troubles..-as all relationships will - we are faced with double the competion.

To the other replies above about - the right and wrong of gay or bi- lifestyle... eating pork is an abomination unto God but most americans had bacon or ham or sausage this morning..

God looks at the heart of us..- not just our the sex acts.

Gays or Lesbians have as great a chance into heaven as you..despite her/his sexuality.

Before some of you false religious -mislead -fanatics

send a reply reffering to Acts: 10

Peters vision' ...it is NOT related to food we eat.. Peter sees all sorts of animals and is told "everything God created is Good " ( for its purpose) PIGS are created for the purpose of helping keep earth free of garbage .. their not created for consumption by us...also

read the entire chapter to the end and PETER says ' he understands the vision to be a message from God ..not to refer to men (MEN ) as unclean.

And dont dare refer to Gospel that reads " let no man judge you to what you eat " that refers to a specified time and not pork but to what clean food will be chosen.

GOD DOES NOT CHANGE'' He called the swine unclean and it is still so today, tommorrow and forevermore.

Gays-Lesbian , Pork eaters, Adulters ( Str8 sex without marriage) Smokers ( cigs/pipes/cigars) Liars, (white lies included) cheaters, manipulaters all are equal in Gods eyes and all have an equal opportunity or denial....so stop putting gays and lesbian on blast ....its not your call.
Yes, there is a lot of "biphobia" unfortunately. It all stems from a fact that we seem adamant in refusing to empathize with each other. That does include gay people. Mile in my shoes, and all that.

And I'm sorry, that first answer is classic.
I am also a bi-sexual female, and I've run across the same issue, men *and* women believing that it's not possible for a bi-sexual person to be faithful. (Of course the men loved the idea! lol) It is possible though, and I've always been the faithful type. I'm not the type of woman that has to have someone of each sex in her life to be happy, when in a relationship it's the person that makes me happy and monogamous. I have been married to a man, and was faithful, (we split up because he wasn't) and I am now happily married to a woman (registered in DC as a domestic partnership and a Canadian wedding) and am perfectly happy.

More and more, the GLBT community is learning to accept us 'bis' as one of their own, and realizing that we can be just as monogamous as they can. As a rule, we're not any more likely to cheat than any one else, and I think that just as with any other stereotyped section of society, eventually people will realize that the stereotypes are wrong.
Unfortunately you are a victim of a stereotype. For me being a crossdresser the first question everyone seems to ask is am I gay. People can't seem to accept that what they have been brought up to believe and what is the fact are sometimes two different things.
Some people might not like this answer - and I'm from the "t" part of the spectrum, so that gives 'em even a bit more to criticize - but I think that there are many in the GLBT community that disdain monogomy. I have some great g, l, b and t friends that are monogomous - but I think that those whoe are monogomous are often looked at in a suspicious fashion - like, yea, sure you are - when your significant other is around. Its kind of sad because - (1) some don't want to allow others to just be who they are; and (2) its sort of self-loathing - like, we're just not good at that kind of stuff. I'm not saying that everyone is that way - I just often got that vibe when I used to say that I was monogomous - when I was in a monogomous relation. I felt that I just wasn't taken seriously. So I don't think that it is necessarily only a bi issue - I think its also a monogomy issue.

About transferring to a different community college?

Right now I am attending a community college. My parents are thinking about putting there house up on the market next spring. They are thinking about moving to another state

If they move to another state and I transfer to a different community college would I have to start all over again and take all of the courses over again? The reason why I am asking that is by the time I would have to transfer I would have 42 credits. Would it be better or me to transfer to a four year college?

About transferring to a different community college?myspace graphics

Whenm you transfer from college to next, you may lose some credit, due to what is transfer or accredit from old to new school.

From C.C. to 4 years, you may only get some elective transfer.

Do your home work what is the elective that you may get transfer easily, such as Englis 101, business laws, macro, micro economics etc...

Then once you ready to transfer they may accept most of the basic curricurum and minimal credit lost.

Knowing what major you are going to specialise on would be helpful.

PS: If you plan to make money at the same time that you are going to college, take real estate course and some marketing and sale, it might just pay your way through college if you know how to apply it.

Best of Luck.

About transferring to a different community college?real world myspace myspace.com

You will not have to start all over if you transfer to another community college. Just have your transcripts sent over to the college you will be attending, they will evaluate your transcript and let you know how many credits will transfer to their institution. Many college websites have some type of transfer credit guide that will tell you what classes transfer- (usually under the Registrar's office). As far as the 4-year college/university, it is very important to check with the college to see what credits they take from the community college(s) you attended...they don't necessarily take all the credits, and because you earn an associate's degree doesn't guarantee that you will only have 2 years left at the 4-year college. A lot of it depends on the degree you are planning on seeking. My best advice would be to talk to an academic advisor at the college(s) you are looking at attending and they should be able to give you some direction and advice.

What are some non profit community service i can do?

i got in trouble for something now i have to do 30 hours of community service. i called libraries, hospitals, nursing homes, fire department they all said no to me either because they dont need any or because they dont accept court community service. i am 14 years old

What are some non profit community service i can do?myspace commentes

Contact (a) Red Cross, (b) United Way, (c) a local church or other congregation, (d) Labor Day is coming up, which means the Muscular Dystrophy Association Jerry Lewis Telethon is coming up---go to the MDA and see hwat help they may need. Each of these are normally court-recognized and approved. You can Google each of them.

If you go to your local newspaper, and explain your situation, they may be able to direct you, as well. But I know adults and youths who have worked for the United Way and the Red Cross and done labor, and very few churches or congregations of any nature will turn you down if they believe in the act of redemption.

Try contacting the United Way office where you live, or contact Habitat for Humanity. Both are fine organizations and both are always looking for help. Explain your situation to them and they may be able to put you to work.

Should we stop trying to save the black community?

I was talking with my brother the other day about some issues within our community. And was surprised when he told me that he could care less. He told me that the only people he was concerned with was his immediated family(his wife, kids, brothers, sisters and parents). At first I thought this was a very selfish attitude, but after doing some thinking I couldn't help but to wonder if he was right. If every parent in our community taught their children how to act and teach them the life lessons that they need to succeed. Wouldn't that as a whole help the black community, one family at a time?

Should we stop trying to save the black community?how to view private myspace

The rub is this:

"how to act and teach them the life lessons that they need to succeed"

This is not as easy as it sounds.

If you raise your family to care only about your family, how are you any different than animals that care about teaching their young the "lessons they need to succeed" so that they can propogate and create more species, their species.

The very definition of civilization includes to care about your family and your neighborhood and your city-state.

Should we stop trying to save the black community?girls myspace myspace.com

Save them from what?
I think that would help any community.
Your brother is right. You can only save those in your immediate circle %26amp; sometimes you can't even save them. I can talk as a Black person. I don't live in "the Black community." I live in a neighborhood where not many Blacks live. I think we get hung up on trying to help ALL Blacks and you can't do it. If someone hasn't taught their child it's wrong to point at others in department stores %26amp; laugh out loud at them or that it's wrong to take a gun %26amp; shoot someone because someone laughs at you in a department store I can't do anything about that person they're just lost.
You cant save those who dont want to be saved for one...... And saved from what???? I'll tell ya what, saved from what their parents and grandparents have brought upon themselves.... Poverty? Welfare supports their worlthless butts.......The average black person would rather live in a shack and receive $400 in welfare and food stamps than work a part time job.....Or steal and commmit crime for a living....... This was nobody elses fault but thier own....... Lazy people, no doubt.
Problem is, no one in the black community knows who's kid is who's. Sista with 8 kids and 8 different daddies. Not a one wants to take responsibility.
Truth is, one person at a time is helpful, it takes one person to make a change,to show others that there is hope and before you know it the domino effect has taken over. give it a shot. you never know, his famly might make a difference. Martin Luther King did, Rosa Parks did. All single people who influenced todays socity. Keep an open mind. changes start at home.
I wasn't even aware that we have been trying to save the black community, don't ask me. Haha.
That makes perfect sense. I don't see why these people are making these stupid comments about lack people. If I said something about their white *** they would be mad. They need to chill the **** out. But anyway I think it would help not only the black community but the white, hispanic, asain, indian and who ever else.
Too many people who are parents don't spend quality time with their kids to teach them basic morals in life. I live in the Caribbean and something as simple as manners has been broken down through the generations. Most of these parents did not grow up with good parenting, many from single parent homes and others whose parents did not know better.

However change is possible but the individual must be willing to make that change first. No one can make it 4 them.
i think we should stop talking about race, don't you?
No, I don't think we should stop. Never stop trying to go into the poverty stricken communities. Never stop lending a hand and showing support. There are so many people and every day is a struggle for survival. There are good people living in these communities, all they need is to get out of that environment with a little help.
amen brother, instead of lumping yourself to a particular group, concentrate on living the best life you can, lead by example

Why does a loud majority of the glbt community feel the need to attack religion?

I am gay and a Roman Catholic, I see that the glbt community wants and expects acceptance by everyone, but many dont accept that people have beliefs and that those beliefs should be respected especially if we want respect too.

Its sad that the community that i can most closely relate too, tends to be the community that feels that showing hatred is what will get us our rightful place in humanity. I dont get that? fyi been out since 21 and out for 19 years.

I so agree with you...but everyone that is persecuted wants to find someone to "blame" it on. And you have to admit, many "churches" have been very hate-filled when discussing anything about gays.

On the other hand, I've known many spiritual and/or religious gay people, and even a few Catholic priests. Go ahead, Darlin', and believe what you want and worship where you want. Many "out" people do. It's just that the ugly and loud always get heard and seen first in this country.

Why does a loud majority of the glbt community feel the need to attack religion?unblock myspace myspace.com

Honey, i think you have it backwards, because it's not that we attack it, they attack us first, so what else do we have left to do? The sad thing is, is that the people of different religions are the ones making yours or other religions look bad, by coming here and attacking us first!
Wow, congrats on being out so long. Well....hmm....theres no good answer for this. People often don't always see it from both points of view, only their own. But it just seems that alot of church leaders are against homosexuality, at least thats how it feels. dang, good job on making this question hard enough to make me confused.
Why do we feel the need to attack? Because they attack us first! And then, we most of us try and be diplomatic about it, try and reason to keep the arguing to a minimum, they drop bombs on us. Why is it so hard for them to accept that everyone believes in different things? Everybody can't be the same, so why condemn those who differ from you?

It seems you have it backwards here.
Just one name

Fred Phelps
They respond to the alienation that they have experienced or feel that they have experienced over the years.In essence, they become what they are against,how human. Peace.
You are right, however some religious people don't think the same way (i.e. everyone is entitled to their beliefs) - they project them. This can be an uneccessary source of stress, confusion and anxiety for LGBT people who are in the early stages of coming out. You only have to read the postings in a Christian ex-gay forum to see the pain someone experiences when they succomb to the far right and try denying their feelings in the "name of a higher power".

In the UK, new Christians have the opportunity of taking the "Alpha Course" - a 10 week introduction to the Christian faith. One of the course books discusses homosexual activity as a "sin" and encourages followers to speak out against it (without being judgemental).

Whilst there are different types (and tolerances) in terms of religion, it is no wonder why LGBT people may feel uneasy around religion.
The LOUD minority is always going to be listened to. As the old saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. As for attacking the religious community, Christianity in particular, is because of that little thing in the Bilbe, which I believe is called a Commandment telling us NOT to bear false witness against our neighbors. Too many aspects of the Christian Church (Catholic, Protestant, and otherwise) have borne false witness against gays and lesbians, biseuxals and trandgendered people...as well as straight women, vegetarians, non-Christians, and at one time in history, left handed people. Unfortunately, Christianity IS responsible for quite a lot of that; and it WAS Christians who had a habit of setting people on fire in village squares. That's a whole lot of people-bashing that went around, and I think that if ANYBODY is looking to actually FIX the situation (especially between religion and LGBT people) then we're gonna have to do two things. Firstly look at the LGBT people who DO follow Christianity or any other religion and contribute to those faiths; they need to be recognized, and heck, reward 'em too! But we also need look at the loonie bats like Fred Phelps who protest at funerals, or people calling themselves Republicans AND concerned Christians actually fighting for Constitutional ammendments to forever ban a group of people from achieving EQUAL rights in this country. (Isn't it ironic that a Republican president ended slavery and another Republican president wants to initiate an pogrom that forever states that if it ain't man + woman it's probably only three fifths human and thus not elligible for full human rights?)

So the bottom line is, quite simply, The LGBT community is not hellbent on destroying or dennegrating religion, we just want "religious" people (the loud and obnoxious and rather psychotic ones) to stop imposing thier psychosis on everyone else while at the same time saying that it's God's will.

And for the record, I absolutely agree with you that our community shouldn't stoop to the level of those who persecute us, but from my own life I can also see that I'm sick and tired of having to tend to my wounds whenever a Christian has his or her say, ON TELEVISION, RADIO, The Newspaper, the Internet, and even some city street corners, while gays, lesbians and bisexuals are just expected to be quiet and transexuals aren't even acknowledged as real.
Is it the majority? Is it possible they're just loud enought to seem like they're the majority?

I recall a statistic that over 60% of the LGBTQ community participates in religious practices of Christian types -- I don't recall the source, but there was a strong percentage of Jews and Buddhists and Pagans, as well. Personally, I have nothing against people's chosen (or inherited) religious views or spirituality, but there is so much ignorance and bigotry thrown about in the name of religion that I have grown both weary and wary of it.

I personally find it difficult to respect the beliefs of the many religious leaders who proclaim that:

-- homosexuals deserve to die http://www.catholic.com/library/Homosexu...

-- that the way to eliminate pedophilia is by excluding homosexuals from the seminary (when the two are unrelated)

-- that 9/11 and Hurrican Katrina are somehow caused, at least in part, because of homosexual people

"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way鈥攁ll of them who have tried to secularize America鈥擨 point the finger in their face and say "you helped this happen." --Jerry Falwell, followed by Pat Robertson saying "I totally concur"

-- God Hates F*gs: a sign consistently waved by members of the Westboro Baptist Church whil protesting at funerals of gay people Ihave known, at plays with gay subjects I've attended, and at funerals of US military personnel because America tolerates homosexuals. It's also the address of the church's website.

Even with all that, I can still laugh off or disregard many of these beliefs -- even if I can't respect them.

Christian versions of the Bible have been translated to read as being anti-homoexual, when the Hebrew and Greek texts do no such thing... but the translations have become accepted and those who believe they know what the texts say will not brook a look at the truth.

Religions, and particularly fundamentalist ones, have been expressing hatred and disrespect against us for thousands of years. We have been actively fighting for rights for about a hundred years. It's a growing pain, I'm sure, particualrly in the face of the renewed trend of fundamentalism.

Personally, I experienced attacks by religious leaders and my own parents on religious grounds for being gay. It makes me less inclined to do anything more than tolerate people who spew venom on either side, really. But I can understand the gay side more.
I don't recall asking for acceptance. I just recall asking to be allowed to be me without interference. I do object to the so called christian community forcing their opinions in my face.
I don't think the glbt community attack the religion but merely try to defend the attacks or condemnations from the religion authority. I mean if some people condemn you for who you are or your beliefs, it's a common sense you will defend yourself especially when it comes to universal issues that affect people worldwide. If people belittle you with hatred, would you respect them, of coz not.
Some of it may be caused by something someone prejudiced said or did to them, so they lump all religion in that group. I am a straight christian, but I sympathize with glbt communities. In my opinion, I have no room to judge them on how they live their life, so why fight over it?

On the other side, many religious people call names and spout bullcrap because they are scared of differences. Or feel threatened that many glbt people are secure in themselves and their beliefs, when they themselves just believe what they do because that's what they were taught. Not because they truly believe it.

I have many friends in that lifestyle, and I wish I could be half as brave as they are all the time in just being true to their heart every day.
I am a Christian bisexual and I am offended when someone attacks a religious nut by attacking or belittling religion. All this does is bolster the nuts argument that we are Godless heathens and need to be saved.

It is much better to take their argument and show them the bible doesn't really say what they are trying to say. If they give you a piece of scripture if you go to the bible and read both before that verse they are quoting and or after it you can see that it is out of context and by supplying the rest of the quote you make them look stupid at best and hatefully deceptive at worst.

Also it helps if you have a yongs litteral translation or a strongs concordance study bible with greek and hebrew translations, that will supply you with several translations of the same verse.
I understand what you mean...people are just like that. It can't be helped. I am bi and a christian, so religion is a big part of my life.
Reverse your question:

why does a loud majority of the religious community feel the need to attack LGBT people?

We are forced to defend outselves daily. We are not attacking. We are the oppressed party here. Please check your priviledge.
