So, its offensive for a teacher to let her class name a teddy bear after their favourite class mate! Any ideas on possible names she should have allowed? Here are a few to get you started.
1. Camel Breath
2. Goat Botherer
3. Gordon (after General Gordon of Khartoum)
4. Rupert
5. Jesus

I don't understand the common denominator here.
Is this some tongue in cheeking on the part of YA?

It amuses me that white people want a tan while Asians are crazy about getting whiter skin. Why can't they just love their color and be proud of it?

I'm watching American Dad, it is the one where the mom carrys the baby of the gay couple next door. And the dad kidnaps the couples daughter to try and put it up for adoption because he thinks it is wrong. WTF???? this isn't exactly helping our cause any!!

it's ridiculous how much there are. in a normal day of school (our grade has 2 blacks, 2 jewish people, 3 or 4 hispanic people, and the rest white) there is a ton of racist jokes. it doesn't bother the white people and i think people think it's okay because we have such little racial diversity. but there are still those people who aren't white and do probably take that stuff seriously.

why is our society so racist??

I know that there are many young people among us and that is great, but I am 45 and look 25 in my avatar! Wouldn't it be nice to have a little bit more reality so we had a sense of who people are? :-) XO

Like most of the contributors to this site, we lived through the "cold war" with Russia (USSR). With Putin now dominating the politics of Russia, do you think that we (U.S.) will be in the same situation in the near future, and if so, what do you think the repercussions will be ?

(I think the cold war is what fueled the original "James Bond" series of movies)

It sure seems that way. Some of the grammar people use online is atrocious. I read of someone who was discussing a "pair of skies", for example. Another talked about "World War 11". I don't think a lot of people realize that there, their and they're are differnt words. I see "man on the street" videos on tv where people can't indentify the vice-preseident. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this

This elderly couple is watching one of those television preachers on TV one night. The preacher faces the camera, and announces, "My friends, I'd like to share my healing powers with everyone watching this program. Place one hand on top of your TV & the other hand on the part of your body which ails you and I will heal you."

The old woman has been having terrible stomach problems, so she places one hand on the television, and her other hand on her stomach. Meanwhile, her husband approaches the television, placing one hand on top of the TV and his other hand on his groin.

With a frown his wife says, "Ernest, he's talking about healing the sick, not raising the dead."

And how about the boots too? People my age will know what I'm speaking off. Took me forever to get them on and had to lay on the floor to get the snowsuit off, but I don't ever recollect being cold. We played outside in the snow too! Not like today's schools at all.

I just can't stand the hypocrisy I have found in most church goers, or the judgemental attitudes- "The Bible says being gay is wrong" "The Bible says you shouldn't say bad words" "The Bible says you should save yourself for marriage". I avoid going like the plague, although I am very spiritual. I feel closest to God when I am outside in nature, as a matter of fact. But going into church where people are flailing around and screaming (which I feel is for show) and a preacher telling me what I should or shouldn't be doing or I'll be damned makes me sick. In addition, I've found most religious people to be weird and scary. Am I the only one out here who feels this way?

getting put or sent away-that you say when you've had a senior moment? I just read Witch Hazel say "Special Sunday Afternoon Drive". My mom always said (for the last five years anyways) "I guess you'll be getting me a room next to dad's" and my sister's family (who live in Alaska) say "Guess it's time to send you out on the ice floe" a reference to the long ago Eskimo tradition of putting the elderly out to sea. Does your family have such a saying?

isn't marriage about love and not discrimination?

Brother-in-law's brother has a wife that told him she wasn't interested in sex anymore so he can date her younger sister, which he did and she had a baby with him. Now her and his wife raise that child together along with her six kids.

Parents had a friend who found a wife in Canada, brought her home, was married for five years, then she broke up with him to date his father. They got married and are still married. I just saw them in town today and thought up this silly question.

Know anyone's love life like these people?
