Remeber the Lacy Peterson story? When they found out she was pregnant when she died. They found the fetus and was discussing this in the media and talk radio shows. Well there was this caller who said she was an animal lover. She said her only concern was "What happened to her dog that she was walking" and hoped it was still alive and ok. Why was this her only concern about the case and what happened to this poor lady and her family. So do all animal lover care for their pets more than Humanity? Just trying to understand not trying to offend anyone.

because from what I read It sounds like a bunch of psuedo-sociology. Does anyone really think a minority at the same income level has a harder time getting into college...or getting a good job. If so please explain why. I can see how a poor kid would have a harder time to become a doctor than a wealthy one but that is a class and education issue. If the reason is that blacks are still generally poor compared to whites because of this countries history(slavery) I believe that is a cop-out...it will be a self defeating outcome for your race. This is not a racist question..just an honest one

Anytime someone asks a sincere question about racism or homosexuality to gain an understanding they immediatly start getting bashed on. Yet these same people who are doing the bashing say that others ( outside there sexual preference, race,etc)need to be more open minded. How can people learn or have an understand of these things unless they ask, but yet get bashed for asking? It's kind of a double edged sword isn't it?

Word: "homophobia".
Homo---gay.
Phobia: Fear.

Why do people call others who aren't all on gay people's jocks so to speak, "homophobic"?! lol.

I am not scared of gay people. Yet, people call me and others homophobic. WHAT am I supposedly afraid of?! The "Fab 5" coming to make me over??!! lol. seriously.

I'm a bisexual woman and am proud of it. Can anyone convince me that it's wrong without the help of the bible or religion at all? I'm not looking to change, I just want to see intelligent arguments.

I, for one, am not.......if you can't laugh at yourself or who you are--then what does that say about YOU?

Some people really need to get more comfortable in their own skin and get confident enough to brush off things that others say about them that can be considered 'mean'.

Who agrees?

I'm honestly asking out of PURE curiosity, but gay women are not into men whom have penises, but will brag to anyone that they use a srap on penis shaped toy on each other ( I have lesbian friends ). What's up with that? It sounds kind of double sided to me. Please help me to understand. I'll take the real thing ANY day over a piece of plastic!!!

In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals,
but the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male
animal is punishable by death.

(Like THAT makes sense.)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's
genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the
examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror.

(Do they look different reversed?)

*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse.
This also applies to undertakers. The sex organs of the deceased
must be covered with a brick or piece of wood at all times.

(A brick??)

*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.

(Much worse than "going blind!")

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the
countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the
privilege of having sex for the first time

Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins
to marry.

(Let's just think for a minute; is there any job anywhere
else in the world that even comes close to this?)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her
adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The
husband's illicit lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any
manner desired.

(Ah! Justice!)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England but only
in tropical fish stores.

(But of course!)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her
husband, and the first time this happens, her mother must be in the
room to witness the act.

(Makes one shudder at the thought.)

*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*

In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a
woman and her daughter at the same time.

( I presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass
this law?)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending
machines with one exception: Prophylactics may be dispensed from a
vending machine only "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold
for consumption on the premises."

(Is this a great country or what? Well . . . not as great as
Guam!)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.

(Who volunteers for this stuff?)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for
pleasure.

(Is that why Flipper was always smiling?)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times
its own weight and always falls over on its right side when
intoxicated.

(From drinking little bottles of .... ?)

(Did the government pay for this research??)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Butterflies taste with their feet.

(Ah, geez.)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

(I know some people like that.)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Starfish don't have brains.

(I know some people like that, too.)

And, the best for last:


Turtles can breathe through their butts.

(And I thought I had bad breath in the morning!)

Why do a lot of the latino people I meet assume that us white people think that we are better than them. My girlfriend is hispanic as are a lot of my friends..so we can talk about everything pretty much. A lot of them have no other white friends and don't come in contact with many white people on a personal level. So where do they get this idea from? Is this passed down from thier parents whom didn't have white friends either? My latino freind said to me a little while ago "White people don't like kids because that don't have as many as Spanish people." That one has me still laughing. This isn't a hate question..honestly

The children in question are 13 and 15. I've read that they "experts" feel that you need to raise them from infancy knowing they have a gay/lesbian parent but circumstances have prevented this in this case. The opinion of the family of the gay man is to wait until they reach age 18 (if even telling them then) because "they are not able to handle it until they are adults".
He feels they know and wishes to share this "aspect" of his life with his kids. I don't know how to advise. Opinions?

I recently met this boy and i really like him and i don't want to do the cliche dinner and a movie thing since...well....you can't really talk throught a movie and i like talking to him. I've talked it over with a few other people i know and some think it's a really cute idea and others think that it's something that should be saved for later....like a birthday or an anniversary (providing it comes to that) or something like that. of course after that i plan on getting some food and then maybe a nice little walk downtown by the arch (i live in STL). I've never actually taken someone on a date before....GIVE ME HELP!!!!

This is the land of opportunity and they're always asking for a handout. There are always jobs at McDonalds and Walmart. My daddy used to be poor and now he's the manager of subway. Do you guys hate it when poor people try to take your hard earned money? Do they think this is commie russia?

Have you asked a question, and people answered a different question. It happened to me. Have people forgotten how to read! I was chastised for something I did not even write!
My post was “Is NOT disciplining children just as harmful as abusing them.”
I was overwhelmed with responses of “discipline is not abuse!” When did I say it was?

I just read yet another article lamenting 'bout how she should come out. If she is actually lesbian, it seems a selfish demand to me. Outing yourself is different when it includes paparazzi in your family's face 24/7.

Your thoughts?
