The world famous play The Vagina Monolgues has been renamed "The HooHaa Monologues" for a performance in Florida, after a woman - and therefore presumed possessor of a "HooHaa" - complained that she was "offended" when her niece - another presumed HooHaa owner - asked her what a vagina was.

This is happening in the nation that leads the world in media presentation of women, in the battle for social, economic and sexual equality and freedom, and - and I merely mention this - in porn consumption.

So ultimately, I just have a couple of questions. Firstly, give a shout out - yes, no, kinda - if you're offended by vaginas. Secondly, anyone got any views on the fact that the play, which speaks out against violence towards and the "silencing" of vaginas, is bowing to the pressure of offence in the USA of all places.

NB folks - I asked this an hour ago and it never appeared.

I'm muslim and if that disturbs any of you I dont want your answers if your going to be cruel.

I was taking a prayer meaning class and I have to admit I dont practice a lot and the class is only once a week. My teacher wasnt there so we got a really mean and annoying teacher. He kept on picking on me because I hardly new any of the meaning (learning it is like learning a really hard language) and my friends weren't being a big help either. Finally I stood up to him and told him that he wasn't getting anything out of making me feel bad (He told me that it was wrong that I pray everyday but dont know what I'm saying [I'm not a sunni btw who prays 5 times a day]) so why was he tormenting me. Only one of my friends was being helpful to me by standing up for me. I felt like going to the bathroom and crying. I I'm really sensitive and I dont think that people understand that I can be outgoing and have a lot of friends and still feel insecure about myself. Do you have a story?

I have always wondered whether our Capitalistic system creates homlesness and why the people who create it the most seem to be helping the people who they exploit. Is there is any reality anyone can see in a capitalist system where there are no homeless people, I realize the ideals of the founding fathers in private property ownership might be part of the reason but people is there a solution? I don't really have a problem with the economic system but I would love it if someone had a solution.

I don't believe in god.
I'm actually nihilist, Or atheist if people ask me since nihilism is hard enough to explain.
I don't attack religion.
I don't smoke or drink or do drugs.
I don't cheat or do physical harm.
However i don't believe in morals, or good or bad, life or death.
I go into relationships just wanting to have fun, not to hurt.
I go into relationships with the end in mind, basicly i say "I can't wait to break up"
I don't care for much. I'm a very un-motivated person.
people think im gay for the way i dress, but really i could care less.
Every person sees a different me, A funny one, a sarcastic, but never the true me.
Im not moved by the holocaust or loss of friendship. I rather enjoy the joy of mental payback making myself seem like a victim.
I don't want to do anything with my life because i think it's pointless.
I don't need help. I understand psychology.
But a child could die and i could stare in it's eyes and not care.

But what kind of person does that make me?

my ex bf. I feel it was pretty severe. I have been to 2 therapists and now I am starting with a new one. Its been 7 months but it was so hard to accept. I was with him for 2 years.He layed the big suicide threats on me, b/c he was so depressed only to find out he got a one night stand pregnant. He would tell me not to call the police or he would kill himself. Then after I helped him, he left me for the mother of his child. I needed to know who I was dealing with so I did my own research.Come to find out he met this one night stand in a chatroom. He has picked up other girls in chatrooms. He did the same suicide deal on a previous girl, but she was smart enough to call the police, he told them she lied & did this b/c she was upset over the breakup.I called him recently to tell him I know all this, & he came back w/ a threat that he filed a complaint against me. I'm over him trust me, if he could sink this low. But the suicide threats all came rushing back to me,I feel he mentally abu

my live in bf has not respected my wishes on dropping this one gal friend who is very disresectful to me and our relationship and she request to continue being his friend even in secretsy and he does so even after our marriage he continues his secret " friendship" with her and continues to lie to me about it after promising he would end whatever with her as part of me saying I do and starting over.
does it sound like a fact that he is more comitted to her rather than to me?
and if he is more comitted to himself then why would he be more comitted to talking to her than to our relationship or respect?

The "income gap" is the growing gap between the median income of the top group and bottom group - many economists use "quintiles" or 20% but the below is applicable to 10%, 5%, etc... for the last 25 years.

All groups' incomes are rising, the top group is rising fastest. Individual membership in each group turns over - of the bottom group, 85.5% won't be in it 10 years from now, 15% will be in the top group and 63% will be in the top 60%.

Statistically if most but not all individuals' incomes rise, the top group will increase by most and the bottom group will increase by the least, because individuals in the bottom group moving up will soon leave it, while individuals in the top group moving up just keep bringing the group up, and because most new entrants to the economy (young people and immigrants) start at the bottom.

Some people compare "groups" in the relative, without the detail, and spin it to support a bogus "feudal" world view - a fairly transparent shell-game. Why?
