Cultures & Groups - 9 October 2007

Raise up your eyes to the high points looking over our sacred moors - see to the East ... The Truthkeeper, the luminous Lady Barbara, to the West ... The Quiet Protector ... Lady Sylvia, look to the South - The Wise and Watching - Lilabner and to the north The Twin Wraiths of Nonecan and Luvspbr2 and the ranks of our warriors are swelled by the heart and strong loin of Grodno. The silence is pregnant with the anticipation of the victory to come. We all watch and wait. For in our nostrils now comes to stench of those that have lost their waste in the fear of what dread is about to descend upon their un-holy souls. And Gracie - so well called - murmers under her breath the chants from ages past that brought us strength to retake that which is ours. Built on the words that brought forth laughter and light and joy. Taken by the unseen thumb of despair. We are poised and we are as one. We breathe as one from the oxygen that is loyalty and love. Fill your lungs and be ready with our cry.

Low lying to the moorland - do ye see the armies gathering? Do you hear the whisper that rumbles through the forest? Do ye ken the wee woodland creatures turn their faces to the West - for they feel the groundswell, and they hear the thousand voices joining in unison, sharing the oath. For this time we come not rattling sabres - this time we come in stealth, we will steal the coat of darkness and anonimity that our scurrilous foes live under - and we will creep in to their dens to oust them and bring them to the light so that all may see their shamed faces. But hush ........ the mists disappear as silently as they arrive ....... the time is not yet .... count the heatbeats til ye hear the call to arms and keep in your lungs the cry of the downtrodden and maljudged and the silenced -
F R E E D O M!

They gave me a fish and a book called the Holy Bubble. I was intrigued but nervous so I said I was very busy right now but they could call back after 2 pm if they liked. They seemed very keen and went of clicking and whistling.
Well I put the fish in the fridge for later and had a skim through the Holy Bubble. It seems that their God was a whale who was crucified to save all cetaceans. He was apparently nailed to the forehead of ............. hang on I think that's them at the door. I'll be back. Any ideas suggestions I'll try to sneak up and have a look while I am making them a cup of tea.

English isn't the problem, it's trust and honesty where people have only come out of 15 years of conflict within the last 3 years......

Ive just been wondering about this. Ok so Transvestites, gays, bi's, lesbians well they all say they are normal & see themselves equal to everybody else & theyre not ashamed & all that BUT if u notice the difference between straight ppl & LGBT's well the LGBT's are always usually defensive for example just about everyone if theyre in an argument will bring it up some how that theyre gay, bi, etc. & that there proud & not ashamed & that there normal its like theyre self concious of being that way. Well if they feel that way & are then why bring it up when NOBODYS even asking or talkin about it. They have gay pride days or weeks "gay pridedays" @ disney & are always very defensive. Straight ppl well we dont have straight days or staright pride weeks & dont bring up that theyre straight basically there not self concious of being straight so wat i mean is if LGBT's are SO not ashamed & proud then y tlk about it in every other word they speak!?? IM NOT RACIST & DONT WANNA STRT ANYTHING....

Hi everyone! I can never get answers on here in any of the sections except LBGT - says a lot of good stuff about us!! Anyway, I was on MSN earlier and a friend asked me if I wanted to see some new pics of her (at least I thought the message came from me friend) turns out it was a virus and now it keeps asking MY contacts if they want to see new vacation pics of ME (which don't exist) and asks them to accept a zipped file. As soon as I realized my mistake, I deleted the zipped file, but the damage seems to be done. My computer is running very slowly now. Arghh. Does anyone know how I can get rid of this virus? I looked up some steps online, but they aren't working for me. HELP!

Im 16 and im still virgin. So, who cares right?
I dont really bother what's the issue of girls losing themselves in front of guys that they 'like'. One thing is that the world has become more open to it and all, i greatly accept that. So why are people pressuring other people to have sex? Is it personal selfishness, pleasure, in-the-moment or just plain curiousity?

People ought to choose what to do by themselves. I stand by that.

Especially when it comes to Hispanics? I am not a racist, my wife and adopted son are both hispanic, and they came here the legal way, they applied, my wife took up nursing so she could have a valuable skill so she would be able to come to the US easier. I know it isn't fair that everyone can't come here but the US has to be selective. I do agree that day laborers contribute a lot to our economy, but there should be a better way of the 2 countries to help each other than for people to just come over.

Someone to who could teach me how dress and do makeup properly. I hasten to add I am not looking for sex. I am married, my wife knows about it but dosen,t wish to see it. This is frustrating but understadable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

people come in this section and answer questions that really have nothing to do with sexuality but still feel the need to announce something like this..

"I am NOT a homosexual..." and then they go on with their answer..

it just reminds me of how some of society still sees our community..

like OK, something as anonymous as the internet and people come here to the L G T B section and feel the need to make it very clear that they are NOT l g t or b...I kind of find it insulting

like hey, I'll talk to you guys but let me make it clear that I am not like you..


I mean I don't go answering questions about heterosexuals and make it my first priority to proclaim my homosexuality

it just...

ahh, u get the point


what do you guys think?

I've seen it on t-shirts, and I've read it online, but I don't know what it's talking about. I have a feeling it's something sexual, but I honestly don't know. Can anyone explain?

2007-10-09 16:23:36 · 16 answers · asked by Anonymous in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender

My basic philosophy is this: I will love whoever the f*ck I want, whenever the f*ck I want, whyever the f*ck I want, and I'll show that love however the f*ck I want. If you don't like that, f*ck you.

As a friend once put it, "I don't give two s*hits what's in pants. I love hearts, not bodies or sexual organs."

I'm open to the possibility of falling in love with another female. In fact, I'd say it's just as likely as falling in love with a man, in my case. However, I've never been attracted to a female. But I'm open to the possibility.

So, I tend to find filling in the "orientation" section of online profiles slightly difficult. If I say "men," I may lose an opportunity to get to know a girl that's looking for someone. Therefore, I'd say "both," however, I'm not sure if I really "count as" bisexual, as I've not yet been attracted to a female. And if I leave it blank, then I receive a LOT of inquiries as to my orientation.

Any suggestions, or enlightenment here??

I'm an officer of my high school's french club, and we (my friends and I) came up with a game that might be fun. What do you think?
Here's how it works. The entire game is a scavenger hunt.
Since we will be going to a cafe, next month, this idea will work. The cafe is next to a movie theather, a library, an ice cream shop, some clothing stores, and many more stores. We wanted the club to divide in groups of 3 or 4 they will each find a club officer or one of the native speakers in one of this stores, their goal is to collect an item from each store by speaking french (ONLY FRENCH) Dictionaries are allowed. There will be a time limit of course, and the winning groups will obtain a gift card in one of the stores. The idea is in the early stages of development but do you think it'll be fun?
Any suggestions?

Come on... mothers breastfeed in public and it is deemed offensive, Janet Jackson's breast is shown for a mere second on adult footbal entertainment and it is an outrage, same-sex marriage is not allowed in 49 states, people get all touchy about condoms distributed in schools, a sex scene is discovered in an adult rated game (San Andreas) and causes a political stir...

What the hell is up with all this?
