I wondered how people feel about the 'celebrations' held for black history month. In my town, there are celebrations relating to food, culture, music, heritage and I think they are all very positive. But WHY are they giving presentations/talks/dramatisations about SLAVERY? I have a mixed race child and I certainly won't involve her in this kind of event. What is the point of continually going on about how some black people were brought here due to slavery? Yes it happened but surely that is not worth analysing every single year? Why not focus on the positives and talk about black role models today?

This oracle often pipes up with just about the most politically correct and absolutely straight right on answers - sometimes not even to questions (which REALLY SHOULD NOT BE POSTED IN A QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SITE) - but that does not stop her.

Any chance to feel superior to anyone of a lessor (and that is just about everyone according to her) intellect - and she is up on that soap box of hers telling us all how it should be done.

Wouldn't you just love to book her for your next party?
Wouldn't you just love to be stuck in a lift with her?

What annoys me is how she polices this site and tells us all how it should be done and how we are doing it all wrong (if I have read her words 'its all in the guidelines' once - I've read them ....... once, I didn't bother after that!).

My dear girl - have you ever heard the saying "Do you want to be right - or do you want to be liked?".

Because right at this moment - you are ever so ever so right - about everything. Happy?

Do you agree that of our society nowadays is actually patriarchal?
(If it is, do you think female should be more protected?)

Do you think the different between the two genders caused as an acquired and cultural character rather than inborn factors?

Do you have any comment on the “family system” now we are having? If I say it is constricting rather than helping the development on female, would you agree?

It seems that the division of labor between the two genders is not as fair, do you think that s because male s exploiting female in some ways?

Have you ever experienced a different treatment just because the different genders among you?

Please try to answer all the questions and indicate which questions you re answering.
Please speific your age and gender.(it s for my furthur research, thanks a lot!)

Anyone got an answer for this one? I can't find any gay guys around where I live. There's like 3 that seem gay and act like it sometimes and I would talk to them but they drink, smoke, and do weed. I'm not going to be hanging out with any of them cause I'm not going to do any of that. Why do all the good guys have to be "bad a**" or just straight? Does this happen to anyone else and does it p*** you the f*** off?

I've always liked boys and girls (even when I was little), so it's no surprise to myself that I've began to think I'm bi. My friends and I have joked about being gay or lesbians and how we'd all be fine with it if the other one was. Well, I want to tell them but I'm not sure how. I'm not scared that they'll think different of me but, I'm just nervous about how to say it. Any suggestions?

Today a stranger said she saw Italian in me. Well, that's not strange, because I AM half Italian. Anyway, she said she could see it in my face, she was pointing to her eyes, and commented something about them, but I didn't hear it.

So, what are some common physical characteristics in an Italian girl?

if someone disagrees with your sexuality do you call them a bigot. i disagree with child poverty, war, racism. i don't agree with lots of things but i don't resort to derogaroty comments, so why when a heterosexual person poses a question, you may not agree with, they are a bigot. are you not then discrimintive towards 'straight' people. you want acceptance, and people to understand, so why not respect others comments or questions. this is the first and last time i venture into this catergory. what an awful bunch of people!

You see the way I see it is like this; You always hear comments about how they're against the law and police officers, but unkown to them they are on the same side.

Example: When they get incarcerated they have someone that is called the rep, or representitive. Meaning that he represents them, however behind his back they are always making comments like "**** he dont represent me.", but are afraid to say it to his face in fear of getting jumped, by other dummies that say the samething but are afraid to say it to his face. Ignorance. Now lets say that if someone steals something from you and if you decide to take care of it yourself, and if you've been talked to before, or not liked by this rep you'll get jumped for one, but after that he'll go to the cop and say to have his gate popped so that they can roll him out because they're getting rid of "the problem". What is this considered? Who would you say deserves a badge?

They have big signs that say "Viet Nam Vet will work for food" or "Three children starving. Need food and money. God Bless". I have stopped to offer food on my way home from the market or a fast food place and they gratefully accept. I know people who have brought them home to work, but they don't work.

But this one takes the cake:
My husband and I were walking thru San Francisco and there was a hippie looking guy sitting on the sidewalk with a hat in front of him on the ground. His sign said "Need money for beer". My husband got such a kick out of his honesty that he put a dollar in the hat!

What kind of experience have you had with this subject?

the innuendo from gays on tv is ridiculous, examples graham norton, julian clarey. gay people don't like being stereotyped as nice friends or good company (reference to some question here tonight) so make a huge fuss in drama queen fashion. do what you want, but ffs, keep it to yourselves. just because i don't agree with homosexuality, doesn't make me homophobic! i'm heterosexual but i don't make a point of telling everyone so and i certainly don't refer to my sex life. but time and time again gay people (not all of them) make a big deal out of nothing. so what you are gay, get on with it.

are they so insecure they are looking for acceptance, or so arrogant, they feel everyone needs to be aware of their sexuality. i don't get it!
