Other - Society & Culture - 14 August 2006

recently went to Mexico and we went downtown in the shops and a lot of the hispanic men said something like "ohh bonita chikas", "beautiful" or even degrading stuff right to my face. It was a culture shock for me and something which I didn't understand. I met a few very charming latin men, one who gave me a rose, and I thought it was different how he would just blatantly walk by and smile and stare making sure I knew he was looking :) but some of them, such as shop vendors and even airport security said very innappropriate stuff, such as saying my clothes should come off, or they would give me "something else for free." Why are the men there so much more outspoken and excuse me but horny? Not all of them were, but a lot. This is not a racist question, I am just very curious as to why it was so different there than here in America?I'm sure it isn't just Mexico..but a little bit of forwardness is a good thing, just as long as it isn't inappropriate :)

On a trash night, the nextdoor neighbor puts a bag of his trash on your curb where you have placed your own trash. He still has his other trash on his curb. This is a strange behvior from the neighbor. He's trying to sell his house and I guess move.
If you are put in this kind of situation, what do you think is the best thing to do? Would you let it just slip because in the morning the trashmen will more than likely pick it up?

How many hungry people could eat for the money that might be spent on one day? How many nice brides become the epitome of ugly when they spout garbage like "It is the bride's RIGHT to pick the colors!" or "Is it tacky to ask for money only at my shower?" How many women believe that by virtue of "dreaming of this day since they were little girls" they are entitled to pout and stomp and throw fits when the cake leans to the left a little bit? Worse yet, how many people have said "their special day" was "completely ruined" by their drunk priest, inept photographer, stupid cousin, etc? Is this the height of unmitigated gall to have a whole day dedicated to you and to allow one thing to ruin it? If you and your fiancee are coming to blows over invitations, are you scared that it might be a bad omen?
I'm not bashing all weddings, if you can afford it or have modest aspirations, good. I do have a problem with finanacing a party that you will pay off for a long time to come.
Thoughts?

Suppose you could invite three living people to gather with you for the afternoon to have a conversation for three to five hours. Who would you invite? What kinds of questions would you ask each one? As long as we are imagining, you may assume that you can all communicate in a common language.
