For example, if I am gay and I call someone a ******, is that okay for me, but not okay for someone who is not gay? Or, if I am black and call someone a ******, is that okay for me, but not okay for someone who is not black? Or...jewish...or a woman....or short....or skinny.....or brown...or an immigrant....or..well, you get it.

Everyone would want the bus stop in front of their house, but no one would want a bus stop in front of their house.

I came up with the idea to make a tampon necklace (just attach a few tampons to a regular necklace) to indicate PMS in an acceptable manner. I wore one with wrapper on it (and so did my 16 yr old cousin) for a little while on Thanksgiving. Of course I am mostly kidding around, but do you think it is over the edge (crazy) or do you think it is funny?

It used to be people gave priority to people who came out to visit them. Now they are often times on the phone in the car when their friend is driving, at restaurants etc. Your thoughts please.

does a waltz symbolize something at a quinceanera? Is this the first time that Mexican girls dance in public?

I have a family member who had her son handwrite G.E.D. diploma announcements (which had graduate and celebrate spelled incorrectly) This boy is not mentally impaired and does not have any learning disability. The mother of this boy then handed them out to family members. My first responses was to tell her she should ask for a refund because he can not spell, but I thought that would be in poor taste. What is the proper response to something like this? I have never received a card announcing a G.E.D. graduation before, there is no mention of a graduation party. Am I wrong in thinking that this is in poor taste?

I have a doc that I work with that is a complete ***. I am sure he does not know that I don't care for him, I just try to keep my distance. We recently had a carry in for thanksgiving and he tried to dictate what I needed to bring in for it! As we were eating he openly refused to eat something stating" the person who made the food looked like their house was dirty , since he made this comment all the other co-workers laughed and proceeded to pass over this co-workers dish due to his comment. Last night I wiped the counter with chlorox wipes and he loudly but indirectly said something about me using *ucking wipes that everyone except idiots knows he hates. While he is a excellenct doc he is very cocky, and cliquish . I am sure his gayness has something to do with his bitchy behavior, and rude comments. One of my male co-workers said that there is no room for a black womans attitude and a gay man drama that attitudes clash and this is the reason we can't get along. What do you think?

I recently was called "Dog Breath" by some high school kids from their car as they drove by. There was 4 white males in the vehicle.
I am half asian and half white. I'm in my late 20's. I live in Northeast Wisconsin so, there are a lot of rednecks and racists. I did not realize until I got home and told my wife (who is mostly white) about the incident and she told me it was a racial slurr.

Has anyone ever been called, called someone or ever heard of "dog breath" ?????

Thanks

I know two kids, they are not even 10 years old, and they are pretty much obese. They might be considered morbidly obese. They get little to no exercise, and their eating habits are very poor. Mom lets them drink a lot of sodas and high fat foods. I have watched these kids eat, and they eat without really focusing on the food, so they are stuffing themselves mindlessly. I think about these kids' health and body image in the future and it's sickening. What is wrong with people?!

I started a new job today, and I do have experience but it has been 5 years since I've done something like it. I got overwhelmed and told the boss that I was feeling nervous and didn't know what to do, so he fired me. He said if I feel that way then I will probably end up quitting and he don't want people thinking he can't keep help. Am I just really stupid and not able to keep a job, or was he wrong for handling it that way?

Are you just busy, when you answer questions here on Yahoo, or are you just too busy to elaborate?

Is it just for the points?

Are you afraid, that you may not be able to put a few eloquent words together, or is that how you approach everything, by shooting from the hip, without really thinking.

Is it hard to put down your thoughts, so other people can read them, & maybe criticize them, add to them, get a few guffaws from them?

Yahoo provides this Forum so people can learn to communicate. Does cursing, one-liners & other put-downs make you feel good?

If you wanted to call me names like 'Kramer" did those guys in LA, could you do it in 5 paragraphs, or does that upset you too much, or challenge your intelligence?

To start: Tell me what you think of this question?

A co-worker is an independent consultant for a candle company and pressured me into hosting a party to sell candles. I really don't want to do it, but I agreed to it because I don't know how to say 'no' to people. How can I get out of hosting it without being really rude?
