E.G. when people say "oh that's cool" - is anyone else getting fed up with things being cool?
I would prefer some passion. Isn't this just minimalism in a colloquial word?

And what about this word ''partner'' ? Does anyone out there privately cringe when they hear this word when someone is referring to their wife, girlfriend, fiancee. And has this asexual term come about because the politically correct need not to offend homosexuals ?

And like the scene in film Falling Down starring Michael Douglas in the fast food restaurant when he asks ''why are we all using our first names - I feel like I'm at an AA meeting" - where is the respect in someone calling you by your first name - who doesn't know you ?

Comedy now is a minefield of who you must not offend !

Isn't this the problem with the world in general - that it is unseemly to cause a scene - to be passionate - you have to be grey and have a ''partner'' - where has all the colour gone in life?

Aren't we now too tightly wrapped ?

this ritual would involve the exchange of blood between two people (a man and a woman). this would be more of a sexual as well as a binding rite or ritual. I have inquriers out to all the BDSM groups I'm a member of so that might help as well. like I said it would be more of a pagan rite I believe, but really not sure . so any information and possibly a web addy to go along would be great. also looking for where I might find a cermonial blade to preform the ritual as well, it would have to be a blade with a real edge because I plan on cutting the skin to draw the blood.

if you think information is power, what piece of information have you got in any field at all that is worth sharing (information that possibly could change somebody else's life just by being aware of it )

A female colleague is leaving whom I get on with very well. She really spent a lot of time and money on my leaving party and I think its only fair I make some effort. Given that she got me a lot of kinky/raunchy joke stuff (I have absolutely no idea why) what can I get her that is funny and suitable (she has a boyfriend who's a mate of mine)? FYI, Im a bloke and not entirely well off. Thanks

am an asian woman who has lived in australia, the US and France. the men of these countries treat me much much better than their women... white women condescend to me - as if they were somehow more intelligent or more precious than i am... no, no - it isn't upsetting to me anymore (after 20 years of this nonsense). Just curious to see if anyone else has had that experience

I was watching MTV yesterday, and there were these women referring to themselves as chicks and worse. Is it only me who thinks calling yourself that is much worse than some silly kid trying to look charismatic doing so? I don't think I could ever take someone who calls herself like that seriously, let alone any such guy. So, do you think it's just because I am hopelessly out of date with modern standards?

"This phenomenon is characteristic of our epoch. But, to my thesis we have the dynamism to program therapeutic practices as a prophylaxis from chaos and catastrophe. In parallel a panethnic unhypocritical economic synergy and harmonization in a democratic climate is basic. I apologize for my eccentric monologue."
