Cultures & Groups - 6 November 2007

There was a story in the Washington Post this morning about two college students who kidnapped a third who attempted to rip them off during a drug deal. They then proceeded to torture the abductee by burning him with COOKIES, fresh out of the oven.

Is this the "gangsta" lifestyle that Fiddy and Snoop Dogg are glorifying in their albums? Or should these kids get their membership cards revoked? I mean, come ON! Use a frying pan and some bacon grease, or a pair of pliers and a blowtorch, or whatever....but COOKIES?!?!?

I tell ya...these kids today are gettin' soft....

In all honesty, i've had one since i was a kid. it seems the bigger the foot too, the more i get turned on by it. being gay as well has added a double-whammie effect, making me like guys feet only.

Heck, my own feet turn me on, since they're big (sz 14 wide US)

Granted, i know there are others out there with the same thing, but here in TN....its just...well, considered blasphemy. so naturally i feel guilty....but does that make me a freak?

I'm a young? woman almost 30 and I'm facing a problem I'm single and have really always been, at times i feel lonely but only for a time now here's my dilemma, my family is traditional and want me to settle down and marry, i on the other hand feel fine as i am, kind of,so why should i pursue a relationship? but the older ones say i will be lonely as i age i trust them to be wiser so i end up confused? I'm also always experiencing things later than others so some of my family my own age say that i will definitely want a husband later but should act now as this is the best age to find one, now this is very believable when i look around but i still don't think it would be easy to find one as i don't get asked out now.i want to know your age and what you think especially if you are a older single woman, how is your life do you have regrets,what would you change what are the benefits of being single in old age or if you married at late age for the first time was it harder was it worth it?

My daughter is 14. She is Spanish, Italian and Pueblo Indian from her dad's side. Northern European from my side. Ever since she was little, people have thought that she was mixed with Mexican or African American. The problem? She is called a lot of racist, derogatory names. Tonight I came home and someone had wrote racist, derogatory words on every window and screen of our home. The police said that they would "beef up" patrol. And since we are 99% sure of who did this, the police said that they would talk to the girl and at least put some fear into her. I am afraid that this matter is not going to be resolved and it will just continue. What else can we do to prevent this from happening again. Aren't there laws to protect one from this? I will be taking pictures of the writings to document this.

I notice that a lot of people I met from the projects are more accepting of the different than suburban and other supposedly more "civilized" cultures. For instance, in ghetto culture, gays are often accepted and over weight people are treated with respect and not looked down on. Aside from racial gangs, I often see people from different ethnic backgrounds co exist peacefully at schools.

On a recent trip to Texas my truck started bogging down, I couldn't get any speed and everytime I attempted to climb a hill the max speed I could get was like 30 miles an hour.
I finally pulled into a auto parts store and asked them to put the diagnostics machine on. They gave me several very expensive diagnosis. Having recently done a little work on the truck, their diagnostics didn't sound true.
I called my Brother who owns a trucking company in Houston. After explaining what was going on, he agreed with me.
He informed me that there was alot of bad gas out there, he felt like it was the fuel filter.
Now this fuel filter is under the truck, right under the drivers seat. It is an inline filter and cost a whopping $7.50. There is also a little package of clamps that the parts house sells for another $7.00, you have to clamp these little pac man type clamps on the nipples of the inline filter, to get the old on off.

My husband and I were asleep and our dog was sleeping in the living room. Our small town was being robbed on and off for about a month. What they would do is cruise the neighborhood looking for bicycles. They stole the bicycles for the heist. In the middle of the night they rode up, came in through the side garage door and took things from the garage and hid them in the bushes between the houses. We were lucky, sometimes they filled the family car with stuff and stole the car, too! Through the garage they came into the kitchen. My purse was on the table and my husbands wallet was on the counter. When they started to walk into the living room, the dog woke up and scared them off. We found my purse after we went to the DMV and canceled all the credit cards. It turned out to be a big gang of identity crooks with a notebook full of information. I was in there, too, Now we double check all the doorlocks every night and our dog is always ready for the bad guys!

Someone told me once that sex is made for reproduction. If so should a man or woman who is unable to concieve a child be able to have sex? This was my answer to someone who told me their reason for being against homosexuality was because sex is for reproduction. And isn't sex seen also as something spiritual? A sign of love, or passion? If everybody saw sex just as reproduction, then marriage and sex wouldn't really mean anything, would it? What does sex mean without love? I think that even if a man or woman can not concieve they should be able to have sex. I don't think sex is just for reproduction. It's about love. It's the same thing with everybody, no matter what sexuality.

A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several
months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day. One day, he
motioned for her to come nearer.

She sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times.

When I got fired, you were there to support me.

When my business failed, you were there.

When I got shot, you were by my side.

When we lost the house, you stayed right here.

When my health started failing, you were still by my side...You know what?"

"What dear?" she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with
warmth.

"I think your bad luck, get the hell away from me"

What do you think about polyamory?

I am not polyamorous, but I respect that some people are, and that's totally fine with me. But I do have some reservations, and it's making me feel like a bigot.

Again, I respect that some people are polyamorous, and while I'm ok with people having polyamorous relationships, I don't think that there should be polygamy. This makes me feel like a bigot because the reasons I use are similar to the reasons that people use to oppose gay marriage... and I definitely believe that gays should be allowed to marry.

Basically, I do not think that polygamy should be legal because it would make legal proceedings very difficult, and a large conglomeration of people who are all married to each other could make a lot of problems. (If there are four people who are married to each other and one is ill, how do the other three share power of attorney?)

Part of me wants to be accepting, because almost everyone at my LGBTQ group is and I feel like I'm missing some
