Cultures & Groups - 17 September 2007

LGBT individuals are often forced to remain silent, to marry and procreate as part of their culture. This results in many victims being left to deal with their situation alone.

K. Imagine this situation. You are in a relationship. Both of you are chatting with someone online, your BF/GF having known that person longer than you have, but both of you have never met up with the person.

You go hang out with your friends at their house and your partner goes out to a bar with their friends (ones that don't happen to like you and in turn you don't like them back because of that stupid reasoning). You didn't plan on going out anywhere else that night after hanging out with your friends at their house, but since your partner is out with his friends and you don't want to go back home yet since it's still early.

However, your friends that you're hanging out with don't want to go out. Earlier that evening, you were chatting up with that mutual online friend and talked about what you guys were doing for the night. You told them your plans and they told you their plans.

Now knowing your partner will be out late, you text/call that mutual online friend that neither ..

My brother is 17 and he hangs out with only homosexuals between the ages of 25 - 45 years of age. My brother says he is straight but he likes hanging out with gay people because they are non-judgemental according to him.

One of his gay friends recently bought him a $600 wallet! Should I be concerned that this friend might want some bedroom action because of the expensive gift?

My brother is a very fragile person at the moment and I am worried they will hurt him.

** I am not homophobic so no personal attacks please**

"International Talk Like a Pirate Day" is coming up, and it seems like many people are excited. I can certainly see what's in it for the guys; the swashbuckling lifestyle with freedom, treating women like wenches, etc. must seem appealing. What do the women like so much about it? I'd love to hear from guys and girls about this one: why is it so fun to talk like a pirate?

I am a master of every fighting style known to man and even ones that aren't. I've fought many battles but I've yet to fight with anyone worthy enough to defeat me. I've traveled across the world and have encountered many people in my quest but I have yet to find anyone who could spar with me at my level. The fact that there is nobody out there who can do so saddens me very much. How am I supposed to get stronger when there are no more worthy opponents for me to battle? I know someone is out there who could make me feel alive again, make me feel the actual heat of battle. My martial art, Tenku Shinken, is far from complete. Only if I could find someone worthy enough to fight me, I would be able to perfect my art and hone my skills. Sadly, I am unable to. I refuse to call myself the strongest until the day I finally perfect my skill. I am getting more and more impatient by the minute as the days go by. I sometimes wonder if there is anything more I can do to become stronger. Tell me.

...or some irrefutable biological tag for it, and can identify it with 100% accuracy in any 1st term fetus with a simple chemical or blood test. How do you think this discovery would impact the abortion issue in this country? How do you think those driven by strong religious convictions would react?

If there were no guns in the country, there would be few gun murders.
Two - Some guns would be smuggled into the country, but MOST criminals would not have guns. It is much harder to kill people with knives or your hands.
Three - If you have a gun, you are more likely to be killed by a gun. The criminal has to protect himself from you. The criminal will usually catch you by surprise, and your gun will not protect you.
Four - Jesus Christ would never carry a gun. Don't tell me someone wants to argue that pointl. How can Christians pretend to follow Jesus and own guns?
Five - Jesus suggested turning the other cheek, not blasting the other person with a gun.
Six - Shooting someone with a gun is cowardly. Why do Christians want to be cowards?
Seven - The second amendment was written by a human who had some fears after the war with the British. Why should we want to live in fear today? A gun is like alcohol, false courage, because the criminal shoots first!

I like some of the celebrities when they are entertaining; but, when they go off script and express their own political views they often sound so stupid. The worse part is that they have so much influence.

have kids... go to church... and coach the softball team... does that make you straight? Does it make you a better person if you just keep your sexuality a secret... and "hook-up" on the side?
