Am I white irish or white british? I get asked a lot on forms and such and I always put white british because i was born in kent but it stresses on some forms that its nothing to do with nationality. Both my parents where born in england but 3 out of 4 of my grandparents where born in Ireland (both North and Republic) so what does that make me regarding ethnicity?

Saying it is a choice and can be cured, do have actually bi-sexual tendencies but have chosen not to act on the same sex attraction, therefore thats why they can not understand there is no choice with a homosexual? Your thoughts?

Ok so theres this girl who i havent seen in a long time and we finally saw each other last week, and we did the usual. we talked alot, we caught up, and we had so much fun together. she kept saying stuff like "we so need to hang out" and "i have your sn, i will IM you"

well the other day we were both online and she wouldnt IM me. I was on for like 2 hours and she never did. i figured maybe she was busy and she didnt see that i was on, so i waited again the next day and the same thing happened.

finally i just decided to im her and i did, and we talked for like an hour and just had so much fun talking to each other. I IM'ed her the next day (yesterday) too and this time we talked for like two hours. she said she loves talking to me and she even shared some of her personal problems with me like we were best friends.

right now we are both online but she wont IM me. Why? when we are talking it feels like we are good friends, but she's never the one to start it and IM me.

Hello, I'd like to know exactly what is the American experiment? I want to know if it's the concept of democracy applied on an entire nation, or just democracy itself, or the idea of a colony's self-government... Because I have absolutely no idea what it is. I've tried looking for an explanation using Google but people just seem to expect others what it is.

PS: I only moved to the US a few years ago, so that might be why I don't know what it is.

What am I talking about? Open a history book, a catalog of wars from societies run by males, by and large. Or, look at the gender ratio in prisons, the vast majority of which are male. Is there something quite deficient about the Y chromosone?

Just had my first visit from them this morning. Meds were delivered this afternoon. No more reason to travel 130 miles to the VA concerning the current condition. SEEMS great, but I'm a natural skeptic. Any negative info?

I saw this Bulgarian guy in Dublin last Saturday while i was in the pub with my mates.He was wearing an ireland top and singing irish songs etc.He was making himself out to be 100% irish when im guessing hes only in the country a few months.He was starting to piss me off so i asked him what part of ireland his parents were from and where he was born?
He got the hump and said he was as irish as me.
I started speaking irish to him,he didnt respond so i basically laughed at him and told him he was bulgarian for life no matter how much he wanted it different.

My mates said it was a bit harsh,id had a few by then but i stand by what i said.If you are not born in the country or have irish ancestors then you can not be irish,or any other nationality for that matter.If i moved to bulgaria i would never start arguing that i was bulgarian.

Is this racist?

I posted a "question" warning seniors to be aware of how much personal information some were giving out, where do you live etc. and was slapped with a Violation Notice, so apparently warning seniors to be cautious of people fishing for information is a Violation of Yahoo's customer standards.

Isnt that just freaking amazing considering the filth posted on Yahoo that they wont remove?

I feel that members of our senior citizen group is under utilized in this country. It seems to me that they are a wasted resource which will be uncoverable once they are gone. What they offer to the next generation is a limitless bank of experience. They are the keeper of moral standard and values. Yet, I think they sometime take these incredible assets to heaven while leaving younger generations very little to inherit. I hope one day we'll recognize the potentials of this wealth and benefit from them. Having said that, I actually feel that it's the responsibility of each senior citizen to find a mean to preserve and past on their knowledge and wisdoms. If museums are design to preserve physical artifacts, should we not create some similar institution to preserve the experience of these surviving generation. How come we've baseball museum, yet we don't have an insitution where seniors can teach and share their life with younger members ? I think we'll be surprise at the results....

I am a metrosexual (dress nice, do stuff with my hair, love shopping, pretty much being gay without liking guys), and everyone thinks i'm gay. I have a girlfriend, but everyone says it's just a coverup and there have been rumors of me being gay for about 3 years now. What should I do?

well..not that i wanna do it or anything..but i was talking to some buddies, and a discussion came along about pantie sniffing..sisters..and mothers..and cousins and stuff..just some weird a*s sh*t.. and then somewhere down the road..we stared talking about incest..and how its wrong..and i decided to look it up on the internet..and im surprised at how many people on the internet do practice incest..they say incest is not wrong if its not forced..but if both people agree to it..and want it..and they are over the age of 18..and you do it safely..and nobody gets pregnant..then it is good..is that true?..they even made a good point..and said that you cant catch AIDS/HIV or STDs if you have incest..cause if its with strangers..then you can easily catch it..

thinking back on it..i think im convinced..incest can be good..and everyone on the internet says that it makes the relationship stronger..and it enhances the relationship and the bond between the two people..someone unconvince me..NOW

Why you think your race is better than another. I won't agree, but I'd genuinely like to know the motivation behind the hatred. I've heard the "intimidation" and "Fear of difference" theories before. But for people to be THIS passionate about their hatred, there has to be a more significant underlying purpose.

Do you really think anyone takes the racist rants seriously? Getting a rouse out of you is their only objective. I mean isn't it obvious?
Why should you bother defending your race when anyone worth mentioning can tell that their statements are bullshit? People who can't see this arent worth the effort that it takes to presuade them as they are obviosuly weak minded.
