What about Svenskarina Scenscarina ? Social media can be tough Svenskarina is actually really funny! In Swedish it means Sven's Karina (Sven is a man's name and Carina can be spelled with C or K) I found a name! With zero ZERO hits on google! It's not perfect but something unknown to google is almost unique. Worth thinking about

After all that we have learned in our Humanities class about America in the 60's and other places, I am disgusted. I am ashamed of this country. Not even a hundred years ago, American born citizens of different color couldn't even obtain basic unalienable rights. Under what freaking logic is separate but equal, equal?? Some of our country can't accept who we elected into the White House simply because he is different.. Humans really are a piece of work. We're all capable of doing so much good, but yet, greed, power and wealth seem to flow through the hearts and minds of the world. Secondary drives should NEVER do this. Our country is suppose to be the country of freedom. To offer new lives to those who are willing to work hard and do what is morally right. I'll bet if congress was making minimum wage, things would change fast. Lobbying is.. I just can't put words to it.. It amazes me how corporations are people.. The voices of smaller people will never be heard. I do hope future generations can learn from the mistakes of this current and past generations. Yeah no one is perfect, but we are the change we wish to see in the world. As it was once said, it's not what we did, but what we couldn't do.. I am proud to be American. But I am not proud about what we couldn't do.

^When I think back and I realize that the Civil Rights Movement/MLK etc was going on a mere ten years or so before I was born, I can hardly believe it. It's seems like something that should be ancient history/hundreds of years ago. :(

It seems ridiculous, doesn't it? Slavery was a horrific time in history, but by the time we get to the 1950s and 60s, you'd think we'd have learned something? No. What a shame.

But I am not proud about what we couldn't do. When I was in L.A. last week I spent a lot of time on the tram to the city and we also drove through Skid Row. It is so depressing to see all that poverty in a country that is supposed to be a leading country in the world - homeless people, whole housing areas looking like slums, young people queing up in front of military recruiting offices because they have no other perspective. And none of them are white (though of course I am aware that in other parts of the US there are a lot of poor white people, too). Of course we have homeless people in Germany, too, but not like that - whole families living on the street or in their car because the father lost his job or they spent all their money on cancer medicine. I will never understand how a country can let that happen to their people and as nice as many aspects of the U.S. are I could never live in a country like that. And I will not even go into things like racism, creationism and weapon laws or this rant would take another 10 pages...

Dishonest people suck! I deleted my post because it seems to fit better in a private thread.

Bus drivers! I know they are so pressured by schedule, traffic and people so I try to be nice, say hello and smile. Excuse me for asking a question, I didn't deserve the snide remark, rolleyes and headshake, I didn't know the route was temporarily changed This driver must have had a bad day, too bad he had to take it out on me, I hope the rest of it was better. It was in Glasgow I heard it first, passengers said "cheers driver" when they left the bus. So nice! I do it sometimes too, when I can, but we have to exit at the back so it's not always possible. Don't even try to exit at the front. Sometimes this city makes me so tired.

spiderman i wanted to rant but then i saw your post and thought i'd comment on it instead. i know it's kinda old but when i see things like this i can actually identify with it. i was stared at alot while i was growing up just because i was different (there weren't so many black or mixed race people where i lived). a woman even dared to think i was illiterate just because of my colour (i'm mixed race). mom would defend me & my sis. it's kinda tough having people stare at you like you're a lab experiment.
