I have been dating a white girl for 2 months now and I get the impression she is racist. She is so beautiful and looks a lot like Katie Holmes but we recently went to a clothing optional beach, she made a comment that I looked like a monkey and she wished she had a banana to give me just because she saw me nude and she was wearing a bikini. Is this racist? Why do white women diss east indian men all the time?

I had my debit card in my pocket and of course it fell out in the course of my errands. Same day, went to the two places where I could have lost it. Same day, called my banker (twice). Next day, called my banker twice. Third day and 6 charges + 3 attempted charges later (probably only around $600, amount not relevant), finally called customer service since my banker never called me back. It's my fault for #1 having my card in my pocket and #2 waiting so long for my personal banker to help me out. Why am I so angry about this?

Once they get back into the population, wouldn't it benefit everyone if these people could find gainful employment? So they don't end up doing the things they did to get to prison in the first place.....

wondering what you are going to do when you are retired? Here is some helpful information:
The Joy of Being Retired


Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make
their days interesting.

Well, for example, the other day I went
downtown and went into a shop. I was only in there for about 5
minutes and when I came out there was a cop writing out a parking
ticket.


I went up to him and said, "Come on, man, how about giving a retired
person a break"?

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.

I called him a "Nazi" .

He glared at me and started writing another
ticket for having worn tires.

So I called him a "doughnut eating
Gestapo."

He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield
with the first.
Then he started writing a third ticket.

This went on for about 20
minutes.

The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote.


Personally, I didn't care.

I came downtown on the bus.....

and the car
that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said
"Hillary in '08."

I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm
retired.

It's important to my health.

These days more people seem to be going to jail and prison. Do you think they will still be around in 100 years and people will be surprised that people used to be locked up in the past.

I've been in jail and am probably going back but I don't understand why people are sent to jail so much instead of other punishments like community service or fines. It just seems a waste of people's lives and money.

I'm a shy guy , I'm 27 no friends ever. But I never had any peer pressure problems. Because even though i'm weak in the social department, I'm mentally strong in sayiing NO. But if talkative outgoing people are strong socially why is it they are the ones with most peer pressure problems, like getting into drugs, getting into fights, doing things that go against their morals and so on.

why is it that dogs, cats, hamsters, e.t.c. can always eat the same dog food, cat food, e.t.c. that they are given every day and never seem to get tired of it and always seem to get the right nutrients and be healthy, whereas humans have to eat all different kinds of foods to recieve the correct balance of nutrients and would probably get tired of eating the same thing every day? Why can't there just be like a single "human food" like there is dog food and cat food that humans can just eat it every day and get the right nutrients, e.t.c.? That would be so much easier for some people than having to worry about eating all different kinds of foods. If they can do it for animals surely they can do it for people too.

He's never actually harmed anyone (except a few papparazi), he never glorifies the use of drugs and he is constantly trying to give them up. It's not like he's the first ever rockstar with a drug problem. You could say he influences teenagers to take drugs, but any fan of his can see that both his music and personal life has suffered since his heroin problems worsened, so if anything Pete fans are more determined NOT to do drugs. You may not like his music and say he has no talent, but many people (including me) strongly disagree with this, and as music is all a matter of opinion, surely no one can claim that anyone within reason has no talent, he just might not suit your tastes. Try to give answers that aren't just 'He's a junkie' please.

That seems to be the favorite come back for anybody who is "educated" . Just accuse the other person of being a "conspiracy theorist" and reading "conspiracy theories" from the internet, and then you automatically won the debate. Isnt this funny?
