Am I the only person who doesn't watch the news on TV or listen to it on the radio? I get so sick and tired of turning on the TV and hearing about bombs killing people, a daycare center being shot up and children killed, 12 people dying in a 15 car pile-up on the freeway and a guy holding his family hostage.

Who else doesn't watch/listen to/read the daily news?

4 clues to 4 different people.
1. I made a comedy record. "What It Was ,Was Football." I met my good buddy, who would later be my "deputy" in "No Time For Sergeants." I like to sing and play guitar.
2. I am quite tall. I was "The Thing." I kept the peace in town. I only got romantic on one show, and it wasn't with my "girlfriend." But that's ok...I had amnesia. Sunshine wishes to GOD that she could have been the lady who I had those scenes with!
3. My name is that of an animal. I have an older brother. People "leave" things to me.
4. I am a hunk. I have been in MANY movies. The movie that Sunshine thought I was excellent in was,"Dragonfly." But I like playing baseball characters.
5. I had a tv show named after me. I was in a newsroom. I threw my hat up in the air at the beginning of each show.
6. I was #5's girlfriend. I lived in the same boarding house that she did. I finally moved back to New York and got a show named after me.

I think that Northern and Southern cultures are generally fundamentally different and incompatible. Wouldn't all Americans be better served, then, by a secession of one 'side'?
Granted, it wouldn't be an exact divide, so if a Bible-Thumping zealot from Vermont would be happier in the New Southern Nation, he'd have the option to move there.
Look, North and South generally don't like one another, and have different collective views on religion, role of government, America's place in the world, placement of junk cars in front yards, etc., so why not make a break?
The Midwest, aside from oases like Chicago or the Twin Cities, is essentially a colder, treeless extension of the South, so it would of course be part of the southern nation. The coastal NW would go to the North, while its would be a semi-autonomous region answerable, ultimately, to Atlanta.
So-Cal can join up with the north, as they are culturally far more compatible with Boston than Biloxi, despite their southern locale.

Why is it that lesbians, bisexual girls, and the girls who act like them, are far more accepted and even embraced in society and pop culture today, but gay guys still get treated with contempt and disgust? I don't get why there is such a huge double standard?

This is kind of a bad example, but its the only one I can think of that gets my point across: If you continually feed a stray dog, are you REALLY helping that dog, or are you only making it dependent on you for food?
Same goes for poor nations. BILLIONS of our tax dollars are spent every year to feed poor countries. Are we really helping them or only making them dependent on us? Why should they even try to support themselves when we give them free food? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I'm sure you know this only eludes to sex. Women and men have obviously been having it in or out of marriage for thousands upon thousands of years

Why is it woman's 'burden" to keep men strait with sex? This you should know, is a huge generalization of women as well as men. Some women have higher testosterone levels and are naturally hornyier than some other women who have very high estrogen and low testosterone, who would be considered "virginal", unsexy, and frigid--I think would be the more appropriate term.
Some men as well are not as into 'sex' for psychological reasons, lower drive due to hormones, etc.
So why does the christian/conservative church preach that it is women who need to keep their "legs closed" and go back to being the sexual "gate-keepers" when this on base assumes something very generalized and sexist about women and men's sexuality?

obviously, it wouldn't all be wildstyle burners, but let's just assume, for our hypothetical purposes, that it's mostly graffiti done by talented artists
