I don't want to complain as people will think I am a trouble maker but sometimes the jokes get a little too much.
Should I make an official complaint?

I need this for a school essay due tomorrow so please help me out !!...anyway, what are the different religious stands on same-sex marriages? Doesn't matter who you are, please tell me your stand on it! I need to know what different religions say about this too! And are there any higher or lower risks of sexually transmitted diseases for same-sex relationships?

Lord, I hated those big clunky shoes, and I had to wear them with uniforms until I was 16

I deal with business people as part of my job and I believe supermarket managers are the lowest form of life on this planet.
Why are they that way, is their job that stressfull or what?

It's the parents' job to help their childrens love their own bodies, to be comfortable in them and confident in them.
I met a family with a 100 lb 7 year old girl. mother was given a lot of support - father not available, older brother using drugs, no one in family willing to help change diet, etc. All good explanations but one went so far as to say, "Fat is beautiful, let her do as she wants until she grows up and choses for herself" -- not one offered her help to carry out the pediatrician's instructions!!
It's the parent's responsibility to educated their children. Mostly the mother's in the food situation and mostly the father's with gender scrambled children.
Fathers: grow a pair and stand up to the plate.

Does anyone feel as flabbergasted by the miscommunication between whites and blacks? Just the lack of understanding, the ignorance from both sides. Are there people who really genuinely want to do something about it?

I have spent 20 years in the "hearing world" and I have never found anyone that was deaf other than people signing to each other in restraunts and so on. I want to find a support group or something so I can befriend other deaf people so I won't feel alone anymore.

Why does it seem that most gay (and bisexual) men never date outside their race? Most times I see latinos only stick to latinos, whites with whites, asians with asians, but when it comes to someone who is interracial (white/latino) (black/white), nobody really seems to be open to that person unless he identifies as being a "full race" or disgregards his other half.

And on a lot of sites most white guys seem to put down black men "as long as your not black" on their profiles, kind of stuff. Why is there a lot of racism within the gay community when gay people themselves already deal with prejudice for their sexual orientation?

The only people I see that are open to interracial gay dating are a number of black men. I also have seem some white/asian couples but other than that most white, asian, and latino gay men seem to be very racist. Why?

I've noticed on dating websites that the majority of the women on there are given a choice on what race they're looking for. A great deal of them check "Caucasian/White" instead of "Any" or "Doesn't matter." When I read some of their profiles and they seem like a good person, I may want to say a quick hello or something like that. But then I'll see that they're looking for Caucasian/White guys only.
It's like, "wham! I'm automatically disqualified" before she even knows who I am. I'm an Asian American and I am just as "Americanized" as any other Caucasian person. The ONLY difference is my physical appearance. I don't understand because I'm open to all races; it's WHO the person is that matters.
What are your thoughts about the race thing on dating sites?

okay, so tell me your opinion of racism. Do you think that is is still racism, when blacks make fun of whites, or other minorities making fun of or discriminating against majorities? Also tell me what you think about girls being able to say bad things about guys, but if a guy says a bad thing about a girl it is sexism. If you have any other views, questions or comments on racism, let me know, I'm been wondering this for a while.

also, do you think that it is right that scholerships from the government can be offered specifically to first nations? I mean there would be a huge deal made about it if it was offered to a majority, like to all whites, or to all non- first nations,... thanks...

Have you ever thought that there isnt such a thing as the concept of time and that its just us that invented it? I honestly dont think theres any such thing as "growing" older, but instead that one of you exist multidimensionally per literally every second of the day and the memories of the other ones of you are just uploaded to make it feel as if it was actually you that carried out those actions.

NO ONE is an individual I feel, but we are one of many different ones of us. The 1 year old one of you still exist, the 2 year old, the 3, and the 60 year old all at the same time.

Does anyone get what Im saying and do you agree?

I am. People who get it usually have poor self esteem and hate the way they look. But plastic surgery usually makes them look worst. look at Michael Jackson for example. People should learn to love what makes them different. Whats your opinion??

Okay, my Mother inlaw's birthday was celebrated 2 weeks ago. And it was her 70th.
We all had a great time, as it was a joy to be w/her and she just loved the party and all.
Well the following wk. while she spent the weekend watching grandchildren, during this time my SIL asked her to write down her [MIL] doctors,their phone #'s, and what she would like done if she becomes incapacitated, and where all her important papers are. And when my SIL emailed us, said she'd "give us copies".
Hmmm, hey-well I personally understand the logic and concern on this topic, however in my opinion [just my opinion now], in my eyes it seemed rather inappropriate to aske sort of questions like this SO soon after her birthday {?!}

Well, what is YOUR opinion, I'm truely very curious.

But also at the end of her email she said "we should make out a living will/do it, and give it to all of our parents".
I felt like she overstepped her boundries when it came to that part specifically, as I'm not even

I am writing an essay on the representation of queer sexualities in the media, and how they feature in aiding the process of hetero-normativity and capitalist consumerism.

I must make reference to the representation of 'queerness' on Australian television.

So far I have thought of Queer Eye for the Straight guy (which is also screened in Australia) and Big Brother characters.

Can anyone think of any others, and if so, do you know where I could access them (websites, common video store etc.)

Any help would be great, thanks in advance.
