Is it wrong that I hate the use of the title African-American? Most people that I have met that use the term are not from Africa. Besides the fact that Africa is a continent not a country. And the few people that I have met that are from the African continent usually say they are Nigerian or one of the other countries not African-American. If I started saying I was a European-American I'd probably be laughed at, and for good reason to. Do you believe that the hyphenation is needed?

What is the difference between

Piesas
Chicano
and
Pocho?

Are these terms offensive?

My BF is Mexican-American and he's been called a "pocho" yet his mother says she is "chicana" and recently I heard his mother refer to some Mexican men as "piesas"

My BF says he cant explain. Could you briefly elaborate?

It seems like there are 3 different catagories for describing a girl's beauty. A lot of men(and sometimes lesbian and bi women) call me sexy, but I'm cute and pretty to my family and friends. I don't like being called cute because the word is powerless and diminutive.

My neighbopr keeps on complaining that our dog is attacking her dog. It's mostly lies that she tells. But sometimes he does attack her stupid dog, but she lets her dog on our property when that happens and she keeps liying about, " Oh, your dog got out of the invisible fence and went into peoples yard and started attcking!" But that is all lies! My dog is afraid of the invisible fence and he never gets out! And we always see him in the yard, we always check on him! We talked to the police, the dog warden, everyone else, and they said it is their fault that their dog got attacked. But she just won't accept that it is the law!

What do u think?

I like to sunbathe topless. With this lovely weather we have had I've noticed that more women have been topless on beaches in the UK. What are the laws on topless sunbathing? Are British atitudes changing. Are we becoming more like our European friends where topless sunbathing is very common on beaches & even public parks. I believe women should be able to sunabathe topless just like men. I have never received complaints here or abroad, what are other women's experiences ?

George Carlin's wife recently died and this is what he had to say-

A wonderful Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

What a country.........................................

5 million of our older Americans have not signed up yet for their Medicare,
Part D, drug plan------they are old and confused. We are not going to grant
them an extension.

However, 12 million illegal aliens are in our country and we are going to
allow them to stay, protest, procreate, receive support monies, attend
schools, avoid paying income taxes, have our teachers take 300 hours of ESL (English as a Second Language) training at our expense, etc.


WE MUST REALLY DISLIKE OUR OLD PEOPLE......OR WE MUST REALLY LOVE TACOS!!!

I mean this in all seriousness.

We always hear about women being the more civilized sex. I agree with that on many points, but there is one instance where this is far from true. Why do groups of young women at concerts, outside stage doors etc. go into a state of hysteria when they see a celebrity they are attracted to? I can understand excitement, but they scream to the top of their lungs, lose rational thought, and many of them faint. If a gang of men see Britney spears they don't do that, they probably give a few taunts, wolf whistles and ask for a few photos. Men don't go hysterical in that situation (they leave that to drunken friday nights).

I don't understand why they do it, the Beatles famously had to stop playing concerts because they couldn't hear themselves think. Its not like the girls screamed for 5 minutes, they did it for the whole concert duration.

Can someone actually answer this question. It must be a biological and sociological mix. Serious answers only please
