Why is it that because I shave my head people automatically assume I'm racist? I'm a 26 year old educated white man who shaves his head. I don't do it for political reasons, I don't give a damn about S.H.A.R.P's (Skin Heads Against Racial Prejudice), hell I just shave it because it's simple, easy, and cheap. What about that makes people stereotype myself and others like me as a racist?

if it's not COMPLETELY positive you have two groups of people go ABSOLUTELY APESHIIT.

1) Angry black people
2) White people who are ashamed of their skin trying DESPERATELY to prove they aren't racists

Back in China, we don't put up with violent people. Notice your murder rate is 10000x that of China's. It's amazing you put up with blacks that are SO violent (yes some are nice) just so you won't *GASP* be called a racist.

No way to go through life...living a lie, but whatever!

why do they think their country is the only one of importance when it is led by a complete maniac? Why can't they speak english properly? Shouldn't they call the language they speak American? Why do the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end as soon as they have something to say? If the Hoover dam bursts evidently a third of their population is lost. We live in hope

The latest trend seems to be if a questioner doesn't like your answer you not only get a violation notice, but also get a nasty email from them.
If you don't want a cross section of answers don't post a question !!!

Geniophobia - the fear of chins.

What? How can someone be AFRAID of chins? Are you afraid they will hurt them, or what?

I was thinking about joining the Free Masons, but I have no idea what they are, who they are, what they believe in, and if they even exist anymore. Could you give me the answers to some of my questions?

I am Half Japanese, one quarter Irish, and one quarter French. I was raised by my father (Japanese) in a mostly Asian community in southern Louisiana, and I have always identified myself (culturally) as Japanese. I look mostly Japanese -- angled brown eyes, yellowish skin tone, straight black hair, etc. -- but I do have noticeable eyelid creases and a prominent nasal bridge. As such, I am more often than not pegged as caucasian by onlookers -- understandably, this irritates me to no end. A friend once suggested that I get plastic surgery to minimize the problematic traits, and I am seriously considering it (once I get old enough). It doesn't conflict with any of my personal morals, nor do I feel that it means that I am ashamed of my parentage . . . I know that genetically I am half caucasian, I just don't feel that it has played into my culturally upbringing.

So here is the problem: should I consider the surgery, or should I just learn to bear with the genetic hand I was dealt?

I guessing most people are against it cause its morally wrong.
but the thing is, in a creationist point of view, Adam and Eves children must have banged each other to create the human race. So at one point it was OK, but of course it was deemed wrong when there were a lot of people, plus i personally thing it should be wrong because us men are pigs, If incest common, wed have brothers/fathers practically raping sisters/daughters and also it dosent create diversity cause more likly than not, people will marry into their own families, thats why i think genetic retardation of offsprings is a natural safeguard against it it. However, say an adult brother-sister want to have a relationship with no kids, is that more wrong than a gay couple, something that has never been approved by god?
Dont give me, "their both wrong answer". If one had to exist, which would u approve? And dont get into a debate about homosexuality being right either.

I work at office with 40 cubicles, there are about 20 men. We obviously sometimes know stuff like what shoes the guys wear. I know I only have 3 pairs of shoes, so it’s anyone call tell it’s me on the stall by looking at my shoes. Sometimes I’m there, and I can tell who’s there next to me because they may know their boots, but I never talk to them.
I really hate it when I’m sitting on the toilet, and some jerk starts calling my name asking stuff like “what’s up”, “So how was your weekend”, or even worse “is everything 0K, why don’t you answer?”. I also hate it when people try and engage a conversation with you on the urinal next to you.

What’s the best thing when people do that? I just don’t want to talk to anyone in that moment.

I know the word's origin I'm just curious why we use the way we do. If you look at an African American, Dominican or anyone else who has dark skin their skin usually isn't black. I'm not black technically, I'm brown. I understand people want to be politically correct. I personally don't have a problem with it. I'm just curious why we use it so much without trying to be more conscious of the actual skin color. Same thing with white; Why not say Cream, Tan or Peach people? lol Peach people.

A former chairman of the Joint Chiefs says yes. My feeling is that the policy sounds fair, but in practice it only applies to gays -- macho heteros are free to openly brag about their turn-ons and their conquests, but gays can't even hint at past crushes or turn-ons.

I'm not racist, I don't think I'm any better than any black person. My question is... there's been a lot of armed robberies at my college campus at night, and they've all been done by black males. If I don't have a purse or anything to steal, are they going to shoot me for being white? Do you guys just unprovoked attack? Do I have a reson to be scared? Or are you guys compassionate enough to not shoot someone without a reason?
