The tar baby is a character in one of the brer rabbit books...but I heard it mentioned today, as an ethnic slur. Has this become the generally understood meaning? When/why...

She knew all the consequences that an unmarried woman would have to go through but, she had the grace to say Yes Lord. She could not have had these graces if she was full of sin as some would have you believe.

Do you often choose evil after God talks to you?

Or are you so very different from them?

Let's not forget that you have knowledge of the laws of Moses, and the grace of Christ. They had neither.

So why do I exist and live? I asked myself that question, but could not find an answer. But I need those reasons while I am still alive, or it would be the same as me being dead. And this is what I concluded...I exist to kill everyone other than me. I finally found relief inside the fear of being killed at any time. By killing my assailents, I was able to recognize my reason to live.I fight only for myself, and only love myself. As long as I think that other people exist to make me feel that, the world is wonderful. As long as there are people to kill in this world to make me experience the joy of living, my existence will remain.

As a Chineses, it's our culture as parent, to help our children in whatever way we can to provide them with a good spring board and enhance their happiness in their lives, WITHOUT consideration whatsoever to own self fulfilment . It's a parental self denial for the "benefits" of our children. Put it simply, I've scacrific and leave all my money and assests for the benefits of my children.

"My question is:
Do the present day Western parents have the same "cultural practice". If not. what are your personal view on this matter.?

Would love to hear Western views. There is no right or wrong to this question just your like to hear Western view, Thanks

Last week I found a woman’s wallet in the parking lot near rite-aid. I looked through it and found her business card and called her work voice mail and left a message stating I had the wallet. It was late and she wouldn’t get the message until the next day... So She contacted me and came to my office to pick it up.. She was an older lady and was very sincere, thank you, thank you... I told her that it was my pleasure returning the wallet and it will come around to me someday... She was the Vice President of Morgan Stanley and I should have asked her for a job.... But we just parted ways.. This morning I got into the office and there was a big Wine Country Gift basket on my desk from her... So my question is What should I do now? Should I call her? Say thank you or should I just leave it at that? The card said " In Appreciation of your good Deed" So do I need to call and say thanks now???

Whenever you go its your color defines who you are. When you go in other countries who dont know racism they will call you of what color you are. Why should be angry if they call you yellow, black, brown, red etc.

Hi, It seems to me and my friends that I always develop attachment for people who won't care about me. usually, I fall in love with straight russian guys. My friend told me that i do this because actually i'm very afraid to develop a relationship with someone, intimacy, so I'll always fall in love with people who will reject me so that I don't have to go deep. Then I told him a story about something that happened in my childhood and although I know it's very revealing i think I should share: when I was 06 years old I saw my parents ahving sex on a couch, and my daddy was penetrating my mom with a bottle of beer, although she didn't want it, but finally agreed. Since then, everytime i think of sex, well, you guys know what I mean, I don't feel so good....what you think? I'm in love with this straight russian guy who has a gf. Could what my friend told me be true?
