Very few times have I been able to tell the difference in a $12 cut vs more expensive. My daughter has a friend who comes to my house and cuts mine. I give her $20. My husband gets a haircut monthly and he goes to the shop where a friends wife works. He also pays $20. The cuts are $12 and since he knows Margret he tips her well.
Am I just cheap or do you think it is a case of you get what you pay for...

In the Northern Highlands, an impatient fanner knocked at the door of neighboring farmhouse. The daughter of the house answered.
" Is your father in ? " asked the neighbor.
" No. " said the daughter. " He's at the Inverness farmers market. If it's the services of the red Ayrshire bull you want, the cost is $50.00" "
No it's not that" said the neighbor.
" Well. " said the daughter. " If it's the Galloway belted bull you want, it's $40." "
No, it's not that. " said the neighbor.
" How about the small Highland bull." said the daughter.
" The service of that bull is only $30."
The neighbor rudely interrupted the daughter. " That's not what I've come about. Your brother Sandy has made my daughter Fiona pregnant. My wife and I want to know what your father proposes to do about it."
" Oh, well." said the daughter. " You'll have to see my father yourself. I don't know what he charges for Sandy."

Husband took a phone message for his wife and taped it to the refrigerator. It read as follows:

Someone from the gyna colleges called. They said the Pabst beer was okay.
P.S. I didn't even know you liked beer.

( Does it ring a bell with anyone ? )

The Young Scottish Couple
A young Scottish lad and lassie were sitting on a low stone wall, holding hands, and just gazing out over the loch. For several minutes they sat silently, then finally the girl looked at the boy and said, "A penny for your thoughts, Angus."

"Well, uh, I was thinkin'. . .perhaps it's aboot time for a wee kiss."

The girl blushed, then leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek. Then he blushed.

Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch. After a while the girl spoke again.

"Another penny for your thoughts, Angus".

The young man knit his brow. "Well, now," he said, "my thoughts are a bit more serious this time."

"Really?" said the girl in a whisper, filled with anticipation.

"Aye," said the lad. "Din'na ye think it's aboot time ye paid me that first penny?"

A dumb Blonde died and went to Heaven. When she got to the Pearly Gates, she met St. Peter who said, "Before you get to come into Heaven, you have to pass a test."

"Oh, No!" she said, but St. Peter said not to worry he'd make it easy.

"Who was God's son?" said St. Peter.

The dumb Blonde thought for a few minutes and said "Andy!"

"That's interesting... What made you say that?" asked St. Peter.

Then she started to sing "Andy walks with me! Andy talks with me! Andy tells me..."

I Live in the US, so my nationality is American, but what do I look like I'm used to a variety of things so I'm curious. I would prefer you would say the country or nationality (ex: French, Brazilian, Syrian, Japanese etc.) but I suppose a general guess is ok (Black, Hispanic, White, Asian etc.)
Here are the pictures:

I do kind of feel it is becoming a sort of a "trend." It's happening way more now than ever ( yes I know becuase society is more expecting blah blah blah) but i've heard black men say that they feel black women are too assertive, loud, brash etc. they get this stereotypical thing in their head about black women, and just automatically most of the time don’t give them a chance or the time of day. So in a way some men are rejecting black women.

I mean really. Every other questions seems like a pathetic attempt to insult Black people. It's really sad, but oddly funny to see people break their necks to try to make us feel bad. I'm almost flattered.

I am not encouraging racial hatred, but why is it wrong to speak out about not liking Great Britain being invaded by thousands of these islamic fanatics. If I was to go and live in another country I would expect to have to live by their laws and not force them to change them to suit me! I am sick and tired of hearing that British people have had to stop wearing a cruifix in case it offends Muhammad and his clans. I even heard of a hamburger stall being told to move because it was next to a mosque! C'mon get real! Its time this country got tough! Come and live in the Uk if you can provide skills and leave your muslim ways behind you! This is Great Britain, we love western style life, we dont breed christian suicide bombers and we want to try and keep Britain great instead of turning into the Muslem homeland. If you dont like our way of life then go back to your own country. C'mon the Brits

This could be said for anyone, but I've noticed some people specifically get freaked when someone of thier race is dating a BLACK person.

My Puerto Rican friend said her sister was disowned for becoming enganged to a Black guy. What's that about?

I found an interesting little quote in response to a different question and I was wondering if more people thought the same way.

"Whites resent that blacks try to remain seperate in word and deed. Instead of conforming to the majority."
