Twitter , Facebook? MYSPACE? tch.. as IF those are no use they only let you talk..in youtube you can Download, Join Groups, Post Videos, Chat Wtach Videos, and more you see those other sites are pitiful to youtube...

You can do the same on Twitter, Facebook and Myspace. You can instant chat as well. There are tons of fun applications for games as well on Facebook. Youtube mainly is known for it's Videos you can pull up. If you want to talk about videos also. MegaUpload is good for that as well. YouTube isn't as universal for anything, but videos. It lacks in communications. Everyone that communicates on there is bound to hit eachother up on a facebook/twitter/myspace over talking on youtube.

Do you think money / equipment / locations of ice areans is a factor in why blacks don't play hockey?

I mean with basketball or football or baseball you can pretty much do those anywhere at any park and all you need is 1 ball and or bat. But with hockey you need ice, skates, sticks, and a puck or ball. You could play street hockey though but I don't get it. It's safe to say blacks dominate all other sports pretty much but they have yet to conquer hockey.

Perhaps you know why? Probably another reason why its not as popular as other sports cause all I see are white people in it

Another reason could be schools not really embracing it as much as football or something, or maybe its just not a popular sport in general? What do you think? Who or what is to blame for it?

I think its a mix of all of the things I mentioned: popularity, schools not putting any efforts into making it a sport, and blacks in general just don't like it or don't get involved with it cause it's rare to find anyone else who has a stick and skates. I don't know if blacks hate the sport or what cause I'm white and I also have noticed it rare when growing up. Think people in general just ignore it, and if your lucky enough to be around it or anyone who likes it you will play? I really don't know...

Or is the NHL just racist like NASCAR

I don't know what to really argue about there, only to inform and change or reinforce your ideas.

Well, football gear is expensive with the helmet, shoulder pads, thigh pads, knee pads, hip pads, tail pads, cleats. That's the necessary equipment. But black people still buy the visors, the gloves, the wrist bands, the arm bands, the tight fit and such. So the money on whether a black person can play isn't much of a factor. If a school funds the sport then most of that wouldn't matter. Depends on where you live. Cold places tend to have more interest in a sport like that because you can just go outside if you get your stick and you puck because there will be ice.

Its definitely not a popular sport in the black community because it's been conditioned in society, for both white and black people, that hockey and NASCAR are for white people. Haha, black people are the most racist people I know. I'm sure a lot avoid it out of fear or they've been raised to just do football, basketball, or baseball because that's where black people grew up seeing other black people breaking through into the white world. Also, most black people don't really live around that stuff. There of course are black people that play and when they do are great at it, it's just the popularity of making it big and making money is in the other sports.

I don't think NHL is racist at all because it's treated more like a world type sport. The world isn't racist about skin color like America is. NASCAR is a straight up redneck, white power, organization. Of course that's an opinion, but from the consumers of that organization it is a lot of racist white people that want to keep their sport since black people are taking over. And really it's not all black people. In baseball the better players are Cuban and such. In basketball, it's black people and then people from overseas.

It's not really commercialized either considering that the other sports are more popular and bring in more money. Hockey Organizations are going down because they can't compete with the other sports.

Of course, i'm saying most of this from a black persons perspective because I am black. But it's what I get from other black people around me. It's been like that all my life.

Another good reason, a lot of black people I know, including myself, just straight up don't like the cold! All the brothas and sistas are where it's warm on the coast! Or where it's hot inland. Haha.

I probably didn't express all my points as well as I wanted to, but just pick it apart and I can clarify.

Where did you come up with your name?

I've been asked this question a dozen times so many people know my story but I don't know where a lot of people came up with their names.

Heh, not much of an argument, but I grew up in San Diego and people I grew up with over the years knew me as the most athletic kid in school through elementary - high school. People hated playing basketball against me because it was no problem for me to score and when they had it i'd steal it from them anyways. Stealing the ball from someone is known as "takin' yo' cookies" so they called me the Cookieman, Cookiemonster was taken by well...the Cookie Monster, so it was the better choice. I don't go by it anymore, but at the time that I joined this site I did. When I got older they called me Parkay because "they can't believe its not butter". Represented someone being good at the time when they makin' a shot or driving and scoring "butter" so the name was cool in a sense because of those old commercials. Haha, you understand all that? I don't even go by that now either. Haha.

Python is a much more powerful language than C++ because it's easy, open-source, and compilers for it are free downloads. Also, C# is worthless.
