Cultures & Groups - 24 August 2007

I've heard lots of negative things bout them, and im not sure if its a good idea or not. They aksed me to join and i was like i dont know anything about them much, except for wikipedia, but i still dont understand why ppl have to join fraternities, when they can do stuff for themselves and still be happy. I dont know why everyone wants to join one here, is all the talk. To my knowledge, i think its like a gang that sticks together, and works like a gang too. Please gimme some knowledge about them. Than ks

I just read a headline that said ................

More people in their 60s and 70s report being happy than do those in their 40s, according to a recent survey conducted of 21,000 people in 21 countries, spanning four age groups from 40 to 80.

What do you think? I'm in my 50's (and happy!) and hope my 60's and 70's will be be happy.

Even after dad had a stroke family members would get him down to the delta on the bank or in the boat. He loved it. Bless his heart.

Answer Yes or no to the following five questions.

1. Do you have negative remarks about a group of people you dislike?

2.Do you avoid anyone that belongs to a specific group?

3. Do you exclude members of the maligned group from certain types of employment, places of residence, or social privileges?

4. Do you become a party to violence, which is designed to intimidate the people you have come to hate?

5. Do you participate in lynchings,massacres, or extermination programs?

For the first time in using YA, I have found difficulty in picking best answers.

Why do you think that your group (or those answering in the Sr. section) gives better answers to questions?

I consider myself to be a decent Dad but sometimes I am a real hothead. Will my kids think of me when I am gone and, like Shakespear said, "The evil that men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones. ..."

What will my children remember about me?

It is so difficult now to manage the home. If it weren't for my wife I'd be sunk. We want to know if it gets easier to deal with all of the little problems that the kids come up with as they get older. I know that their problems change and, if possible, become more complicated.

So ... I guess the real question is do they change or do we???

Cruising YQA it doesn't take long to see that people of most age groups have a broad range of opinions about matters, and they state those opinions as absolutes.

Most of the opinions contradict similar certainties held by others on the same QAs. Meaning the opinions are based on flawed information, or reasoning.

But it's pervasive.

One of the ways I try to keep my mind from atrophying is by backtracking the certainties I hold, and questioning them constantly.

Did we TEACH these youngsters to believe they know everything about everything, or did they come by it some other way?

Senior Citizens over 60 only, please.

You younger models have already had your say, coming at the question from other directions.

It's Friday, and I have finished work for the week and am off to the gym later to pump iron and have a lovely sauna. My also lovely partner has just contacted me to say that he is in port fairly near and so can get home on Sat. for just one night. Great! BT have just text me to say that they have found a fault on my line and will repair it (no phone for three days now) so have to hang around for that , but so far all is well in my world. How about you?

So I am talking to a this guy I know about politics, religion, that sort of thing. And he is obviously leaning a little on the Black nationalist side. He is a young cat, about 20. He called himself hipping me to some real knowledge. But I have already been where he is. I think any black person that really dives into history of black peoples around the world can't help but fall into that militancy phase (you know the one where you reject all things white). He asked me "how do we overthrow the system." Unless we can build a few thousands M1 Abrams tanks and a few thousand f-22's strike fighters (and drive them) we wont be forcibly overthrowing anything.

I told him we stand a better chance of trying to gain power in the existing system than overthrowing it. He says Im a sell out. I say he is just in a phase and to holler at me when he done reading.

What do you think?

I will admit that if you are brought up in the surrounding of a nurturing environment i.e. "gay friendly" you will not suffer as much in regards to your social abilities, however like many being denied this you will feel like an outcast in some ways even possibly towards other gay people later in life what do you think?

we may be displaying signs of over-possessiveness, which could prove to be negative for the child in later years, when reaching the point of achieving its own autonomy and unnecessarily be a cause of our own suffering?

I know gay men can adopt, get lesbians pregnant, donate sperm to surrogates and play the role of *uncle* and have the occasional visit to their kids, but on the whole, do many of us gay guys really give up the idea of kids for the sake of thinking that because we're gay we wouldn't make good fathers?

Do you care you'll most likely never have children?
