No, really! Why do I have to see straight people alllll day on television. And then, when I go to work, I have to deal with straight customers allllll day long. And then, when I come home, my straight neighbors give me h*ll for no apparent reason, allllll night long.

Seriously, why do straights throw it in our face? Why can't we just have a straight pride parade, and let the rest of the year be entirely homosexual?

For those of you fired up enough to know where this was directed, I feel it too.

And maybe now, sir, you can see just how ridiculous and bigoted your question is.

I am a very friendly person. In high school I hung out with the popular crowd but I never made fun of anyone and always defended some people when they were being picked on. But anyway, I had friends that were gay, lesbians, people that did not have any friends..I befriended them..etc. I never judged anyone for who they were as long as they were great friends. I had some friends that were lesbians and my sisters think I'm a lesbian because I have friends that are. My brother was mean to my gay friends calling him names and I defended my friends....my brother and I got into a big argument and i was in tears telling him I was ashamed to be his sister. Do you assume that when someone hangs out with gay or lesbians. they are too??

Hubby has an ugly old truck that he just uses for occasional errand runs. His tags expired last month. At our apartment complex there is space for 1 car, and the other has to have a street parking permit. Now, wherever I have lived, if you have a vehicle on the street, it needs to have current tags whether the thing is used or not. I suggested that he put the truck in the parking spot and I would transfer the parking sticker and put my car in the street. I wanted him to do this until he had the time and money to get his new tags.

Imagine his surprise when he got ticketed for having an unregistered vehicle! He swears he has never heard of any such law, and when he called the ticket office the woman he spoke to said she had never heard it either.

Since I know these laws exist, I'm not wasting my time looking up the law to prove my case. Do you agree that such laws exist? If you have a motor vehicle, the tags need to be current if the vehicle is parked on the street. Yes?

just for yourself, or eat whatever is handy? Eating what you want when you want it is part of the fun of being single, as is not eating if you just don't feel like it. Do you "insist" on having a full dinner each evening if you're all by yourself, or just grab a snack?

The old black clunky typewriters?
Selectric typewriters (would you believe we have 3 in our office?!)
The original fax machines where you could watch the ink spray on the paper?
The old mimeograph machines?
Cash registers that didn't automatically compute change?
Carbon paper?
Rotary phones?

What else can you add?

for instance, a stereo or second TV...do you do all kinds of research, or do you just go to your favorite store and pick out the one you like best? Do you ever purchase the extra warranty?

Do you do all of your grocery-type shopping in one place or do you split it up? For example, do you buy everything but paper products at the grocery, but buy all your paper products and toiletries at a discount department store? Also, do you take advantage of coupons? Do you take the time to comparison shop using sale papers, or just go to whichever place is closest? Thank you!

Is it normal for me to masterbate and think of being with a woman, instead of wanting to have sex with my husband? Recently I stopped having sex with him for MANY reasons. But even when we were intamate I would think in my head of a woman being there and doing thing to me too, or when he is performing oral, I imagine it being a woman. I like to look at woman pictures,and woman on woman. Do a lot of woman do this and are too shy to talk about it? I know a lot of woman that do, they just never speak about it.

Growing up as a teen in the 90s was great...we got to be...well..KIDS! These days you see kids skateboarding around while talking on there cell phones. The girls seem completely clueless. They all look miserable and bored. There cartoons are crap. There tv shows are crap. Anyone else notice this about them? I'm talking about the kids born post 1992, 1993. What a boring generation.

Why is that stupid song so popular amongst straight people? I fail to understand how celebrating through song the story of a husband and wife writing and answering personal ads for a tryst/affair is remotely romantic at all. To me it shows lack of committment, lack of character, and lack of good communication skills. Am I wrong for feeling this way?

Some people say Christians, for example, are bigots because they use the Bible to justify their beliefs that people are not born gay.

I would like to hear your point of view of how Christians are misusing the Bible and what really makes them a bigot.

Thank you, I look forward to some great answers.

I'm going to lunch so I'll be back in 45 minutes.

Just so you know, I'm asain with some native american ansectory.

My parents will definately not allow me to date blacks, whites and abrogianls beacuse they dont want the grandkids to be too fair or dark skinned.I also definately can't date arabs or whites as their culture is so different from ours

My parents are more okay with hispanics and pacific islanders but you can't say that if i bring a girl of these races home my parents would be 100% happy but about 70% happy i'd say.

Native american and inuits would be completely okay with my parents. And my parents will be overjoyed if the girl is Asian.

I think my parents woudl allow mixed race ppl as long as they are not part arab, white , balck or abrgoianl.

So are you allowed to date ppl of other and different races? Why?
Do you think that my parents or people who oppose interacial dating are racist?

Just so you know i am okay with these rules as im only 14 and strongly think i may be assexual.

People say, slavery happened a long tiime ago, they say all the slaves are dead, They worry about people claiming to be black being able to benefit from any type of reparations.
These people in large live in America. They are the ones whose families have benefited from the institution of slavery and the after effects.
What they don't understand is nothing can replace what was taken from the African American.
They lost their language
Their culture
Their religion
Their family history
They were cut off at the root for not 5 or 10 years but hundreds of years.
Generations have came and went with nothing to pass on to the next.
Most people know their family background, What country they are from and their nationality.
They have cultural music, dance, food, traditions, clothes and customs handed down for generations.
Its not about the money its about the acknowledgement of a horrible wrong done to a helpless people.
Would it be fair for African Americans to live tax free?
