Cultures & Groups - 17 July 2007

(To the general YA public) Why do you start all of your questions with: I'm not a racist....
Don't you think your words and actions would speak for themselves?
It's kind of like someone saying, "I love you," but showing you the complete opposite.

And on the subject of love...devoting your time and energy into hating a group of people based on the way they look takes a lot more energy then ignoring them or living your own life.

Do you have any actual solutions to your racial issues? Genocide is not going to slide, and murder just gets you in prison...so what's next? What have you got to offer?

Lately he has an affinity for techno music and acts rather flamboyant. Additonally, he has decided to fashion his eyebrows, and is typically walking around the house with acne cream on (or maybe it's his facial). In any case, I wonder if he likes boys. All evidence seems to suggest he is a homosexual youth.

I'm a lefty and I'm gay.
Don't get me for asking this-- I'm just curious. I'm not preforming some type of "Well if your ____ handed, your gay" study.

Do you think that some groups (cultures, age etc) have a higher percentage of bad or careless drivers than other drivers.

The DNA project, as well as other anthropological evidence shows that the 1st people came here via the Bering Strait land bridge, by crossing the ocean. The only "native" life in the US were dinosaurs, and plant life. So, in effect native americans were the first immigrants. Are you native to a place if you arrived before anyone else? Is it being born here that does it? If so, there are an awful lot of native americans. Indigenous? The word means "originating where it is found". Either everyone born here is indigenous, or no one is. I know their theology says they've always lived here, but if we took theology as fact, we'd be learning creationism in school instead of science. I think people have the right to believe what they choose (and accept the consequences), but when does a group's belief system take precedence over scientific proof? Shouldn't "Native Americans" be "First Americans"?

and other overtly sexual or violent music videos?

I am speaking of your 11 year olds and up.....before they get too caught up in that stuff....

I believe in free speech and stuff....but the idea of forme drug dealers turn rap stars or survivors of several gangland hits, and wanna be pimps being viewed as heroes by young kids...you gotta to admit is rather disturbing.....

yes I know a parent has the greatest influence on their kids...but clearly so doe the culture and peer pressure...

Why do girls make a big deal when a guy burps or farts or itches/picks nose...it's human nature!!!!!!!!
Shouldn't we just be who we are and stop being phony to look cultured?
It's not going to hurt you?!

*P.S. Why you tell us to leave the toilet seat down? Why don't you leave it up instead?

So I have a best friend and we are like the real version of Will and Grace. We talk everyday, solve each others problems, spend almost all the time with each other and have grown really close, to the fact they we get jealous when the other is in a relationship. I am in a new relationship and I think she feels neglected and makes comments that confirm this. I really hate that she feels that way and I can't complain because I feel the same way when she dates. My boyfriend thinks that she had a crush on me and that she can't stand seeing me with him. I just don't know what to do, I set days aside to spend with her and it's great but then I leave to go to my boyfriend's and I get the sad look. Any suggestions?

The world doesn't charter to the needs to the "other sex." For example: How come there's public restrooms for men and women only? What about hermaphrodites, androgynes, and transgendered people? Which restroom are they supposed to use? Its not fair they dont have their own restroom. Same thing with applications u gotta check either male or female there's no inbetween. I feel sorry for those who are a 3rd sex cause the world seems to not acknowledge them when they are people 2.

If a company provides health insurance benefits for an employee's gay partner, how is it determined who that partner is? Since there is no marriage contract, do you just say so and so is my partner? How often can you change partners? Couldn't a dishonest employee say that he has changed partners every time an uninsured friend needs medical care?

It means happy, but also is used to describe someone who is a homosexual. Where did that come from?

Finding a gay chat room is harder than I thought. I also know now that its way harder to find a 15 or 16 year old single gay guy any advice.

So there's strong-willed: Speaking your mind and being a force all by yourself AND/OR with the help of others in the midst of adversity. It's a beautiful thing.
But sometimes, you do have to just put your foot down and flat out refuse to play games with idiots & completely shut them down before they can even get started. Is this rude?

If so...then I need to go buy my RUDE & PROUD OF IT t-shirt..... printed in rainbow colors of course :-)

It's called Learning A Memorable Experience... also known as LAME. And the teacher said that in order to be a good heterosexual your sex life is supposed to be dull, and completely void of pleasure. Is this true?
