she has lived with her mother for many years, her mother doesn't want to hear anything about her lifestyle. when we are together it's only when her mother is doing something else. she had an older sister that died in her early 20's leaving 2 young daughters. i have a feeling there is some guilt that she isn't "perfect" like her older sister is now thought to be. so our relationship is always on the back burner to whatever her immediate family has going on. what makes this harder is that she is a truck driver and is only home a few days a month. i see the possibility of a good future with this girl but the family issue is really quit serious. at this time i have told her that i know she can't see me as a member of her family and never will as long as her mother feels as she does and she won't stand up for me to her mother. i am ready to throw in the towel but my heart is breaking since i've realized she won't stand up for me to her mother. can someone help me understand?

With very little worshipping of god... and a "we are under grace so can do anything we want as long as we believe" attitude.

Seriously tho, how do christians worship God? and believing something doesn't = worship.

So, Left-wingers (Dems, et al) are apologists for 'Islamofascists' (despite terrorists, by definition of the Bush admin, not being able to be legitimately labled as fascists - but that's another question), and as such supporters of Islam. Yet, at the same time, Lefties are filled with ranks of Jews and Jew-lovers (isn't the 'liberal' media controlled by Jews?). So we simultaneously support two religious groups that are completely at odds with each other? And, if the religious fundies are to be believed, Lefties are godless atheists who are going to burn in hell anyway.

How the hell do Lefties pull off this amazing trick of concurrent religious support and atheism? I'd love to hear a rational answer.

they're practically the SAME culture and co-opt black cuture!?

I think it’s so ironic how certain southern whites try to disassociate themselves from blacks when they have so much in common. They talk the same or similar, eat the same food, are church-goers and/or bible thumpers and listen to the same music (country is white people singing blues, blues is black people singing country- shur nuff, sho nuff, potato, pat-ah-to). Ok, sometimes country is just country and blues is just blues, but the roots of country can be traced back to the American slaves- both black slaves and Scotch-Irish immigrants are responsible for country- it’s a music that blacks and whites created together, yet people today no nothing of its roots and thing it’s just lily-white. And ignorant dolts think I’m trying to be “white” because I listen to country. The banjo is a black instrument- it’s originally an African instrument, the slaves brought it over. The first white people to sing country-type music were in blackface in minstrel shows. The show Hee-Haw is pretty much like an oldtime minstrel show except with white characters. White rednecks talk like black people, co-opt their dialect and slang and call it their own “redneck vocabulary”. I think it’s so sad how so many people have failed to notice all of this. People consider southern whites the “whitest” of them all when to me they really seem to be more “black” then other American whites. Trust me, I’m black and southern and based on experience southern whites have the same culture as I and seem more ethnically alike to me than northern blacks.

It seems like premarital sex is over-talked about, overdone, and overtaking every aspect of life! I can't stand a lot of the t.v. shows, clubs, and events that are considered "normal" for people my age.

I'm 24, happily married, and am surprised at some of the things people my age are doing. Whatever happened to decency and family values? I think I'm living in the wrong generation. Anyone else?

There are no religions that teach its followers/worhippers violence. Not Islam, not Christianity, not Buddhism and etc. Then why create violence just because you disagree with the other religion? Why cant we just live in peace and respect one another regardless of our belief?

Can we atleast stop hating each other in Answers?
~sigh~

How come many guys don't like to watch things like figure skating, or "Dancing With the Stars", or "So You Think You Can Dance", etc.?

I don't think these things are inherently girly, and my dad has always enjoyed watching those shows. (Granted, he was the only male in the house, with all daughters.)

So I'm just curious.

Oh, and for "American Idol" -- does that audience tend to be more gender-balanced? or is it still more of a girl-thing to watch it?

I know muslims are not bringing peace in the world . On the other hand pope is not helping either. I would say big shame for him.
Should i call this hypocracy, mistake, uneducated person or bad priest? He copied someone else speech and he said Prophet Muhammad brought religion by soward.
Give me any person name killed by Prophet Muhammad or by his companion just because someone didnt accept islam?
I need answer with credit resources. Thank you

My boyfriend and I play lots of bedroom games. He is shy and likes to be submissive. We both enjoy role reversal play. It's fun dressing him up and doing his makeup. I dress like a guy, complete with strap-on which makes me feel very dominant. I love watching him go down on me but what I'd really like to see is my boyfriend with the real thing. That's a major turn-on for me. We watch gay videos together and I always comment on the scenes I like. I know he gets excited, too, but he's ashamed to admit it. I have a friend at work who is gay. I want to invite him over to seduce my boyfriend. Should I tell my BF what I want or just let my friend try his best? I think he'll like it once he tries it.
Don't tell me I'm a pervert or that I should find Jesus. Yes, I know I have wierd relationships and penis envy and I like to dominate the men I love, but I'm sure that we're not the only couple who experiments for fun.
