Cultures & Groups - 7 June 2007

An elderly female colleague of mine (who is, incidentally, the nicest woman in the world) has been reprimanded in my office for saying something was a bit queer, as in, something was a bit odd or strange - no homophobic interpretation intended at all. She's been in tears for some of the day because she's so upset. Is this an example of political correctness gone mad?

i am 23 and have severe spinal scoliosis. though i am not dependant on my family and lead life like any other 'normal' human being: running, playing tennis , driving etc

though i am deformed i have a very pretty face as everyone tells me. i am an engineer and will be going for my higher education to canada this year.

a couple of months back my girlfriends introduced me to a guy and we spoke on the phone a number of times. he told me he thinks i'm very intelligent and witty. however when we met in person, after a month of talking on the phone and internet he said we can be nothing more than friends.

this has been a blow on my self esteem and i feel so low.
will i ever end up getting married?

In responce to proudhindu... lets see

We installed a rail system (which your still using today)
We gave you banks.
We trained most of your early scholars (Ghandi was qualified as a lawyer in a british university).

I think its safe to say that what we've done for your country we have discredited by the attrocities, but YOU wouldn't have electric, the internet, a computer without the advances we gave you.

Britain dragged a barren country like India 200 years ahead of itself during the empire and if you watch the documentaries, it doesn't appear that a great deal has changed since.

This person was not happy with my answer to their question about gay people being parents, so I was sent this message, what do you think?

Message: Who do you think you are, i don't know what i'm talking about? Adam and eve were supposed to bring up children, they could make them, if two men (so unbalanced) were able to breed, than they could be parents, but they can't and so they should not be parents. Ok? You said i'm wrong because straight men have the tendancy to leave their kids, what has this got to do with anything?

As a religious person I believe its a sin to be homosexual.I know its imposible but just imagine if all people in the world were gay and lesbian we might be endangered species.For those of you who are gay or lesbian you wouldnt have been born if your mom and dad were straight.

North America Men Boy Love Association

Some politicians have been to their seminars and gave them money. They claim that boys are mature enough at 8 years of age to know what true love is and adult men are free to have a sexual relationship with boys 8-17.

How can an 'organization' like this, full of pedophiles, be able to advertise legally, be financed legally through policiticans (Clinton) and just be a legal group?????

Do any of you belong to it and have guts to admit it and defend it?

with the recent issues with paris hilton and michael vick besides ourselves as parents who should we have our children look up to? it is really f*ed up because we have done this to ourselves by paying their saleries and not taking a stand. enough is enough they are people like us and should not get away with murder because they are rich and have the ends!

two things are united;
they fight up until death;
but both of them we need every day to live.
What are we?

I realize this is my problem so how do I get over it?

The specific details:

I am around her because we both volunteer at the same place.
I didn't like him before and thought he was a jerk.
I can't talk to her nor really talk around her as I am flat out uncomfortable around her.

What can I do to get over this?

As if I really care but I had to post due to some postings I've read so far today. Honestly Most of us white men could care less to see white women flocking to black men...Great for them.
Face it America..Beauty is not limited to just white women.....
In fact I've seen many many women of other ethnicities who were extremely gorgeous ..beauty you don't see everyday, not the typical looks of white women!

Being a sales rep, I am on the road a lot, on a daily basis I always see senior citizens on the road going 20mph in a 55mph zone or pulling out in front of traffic like they are the only people on the road.I understand they want their independence, but if it is putting other citizens lives in danger, they need to swallow their pride and hang up the car keys . Is there any states out there that require senior citizens to retake road tests after a certain age?
