Other - Society & Culture - 26 March 2007

This is only for an article I'm working on.
What is your opinion when a celebrity comes out racist or homophobic? Like when Mel Gibsom made to anti-semetic remarks or when the basketball palyer said he hated gays. Some people say they should be allowed to say what they say because it's a free country. Others say those people should have their mouths sewn shut. What is your opinion of this?
Also what if a normal person makes remarks like this. A few months ago I heard about a landscaper refusing to do a job for a customer because the customers were gay. The customers then spread the news all over the internet.
What is your opinion of these types of people when they make remorks like this?

I always figured I'd be married at nineteen like all the other women in my family, and I'd raise loads of kids on a farm and you know... devote my life to my family. But now I'm eighteen and engaged, and suddenly I want to go travelling and get tattoos and be a rebel for once. (I won't of course... but it's nice to dream)

Are you what you imagined you'd be?

Why do us Americans think we are entitled to do whatever we want? Where do the roots of this mindset lie? What are some examples of American entitlement gone too far?

Name him/her, and explain why you think so. Please, let it be a real person, maybe not so well-known.

Clearly, us Americans think we live in the best country in the world. But I'm wondering whether someone in the UK or Australia think that their country is also best. What do you guys think? Any references to studies or articles on the subjet would be greatly appreciated.

I was just on a website and there was a picture of one of the "Real Housewives of Orange County" with a comment about her...

"Is anything about her real?? But men love women like her! As surgey-made as she appears to me, SHE is married! I am not! Men prefer FAKE apparently."

Reading this inspired me to ask this question.

It's not that I like to be fake, because I'm not, but I prefer to look good. I like looking good for ME. If liposuction is going to get rid of that fat that I can't work off then I'm going to do it. I honestly prefer to be the size 2 that i am than a size 12, which is the average american woman dress size.

Men: Do you prefer fake women, or is it that you prefer women that look good, with or without any work done? Do you prefer an average women or one that has work done?

Women: How do you feel about plastic surgery? Would you prefer to have plastic surgery to fix something or to make yourself more beautiful?

BE HONEST!!!

I have read many questions and see that many people choose animals over humans, This completely astounds me. How can you look at an animal and say that they are more important. I am an animal lover but if it came down to the lives of my animals vs lives of my own family, my family would definatly be WAY more important. People get away with molesting children and murdering our young and get away scott free but someone kills a dog and people crusify them. Not to say that justice shouldn't be done for animals. I just think that the morals of people have failed. I just don't understand. No meaness please. I just want to hear opinions.

Is it because of the sterotypes! Scared that we might blast you, maybe? I bet if you didnt like blacks you wouldn't make certain remarks about us in the hood, or would you? I mean based upon all these wonderful stereotypes, what do you think? What im trying to get to is why cant ALL RACES realize that these are only stereotypes, that can be CHANGED if we all put an effort into it!

I am genuinely curious as to what the general consensus of opinion of it all is over there.

i'm in two minds over the whole subject - i don't really mind them as long as there aren't too many, after all it is the uk,
but on the other hand, it's kind of annoying when they can't really speak english. at the end of the day, what's the point of emmigrating when you can't speak the language of that country? bit pointless really. it's the uk, you should speak english as much as possible. it just gets on my nerves when i see people speak a different language if they're gonna live here for a long time. if they're on holiday, i understand, it's just when i hear them i feel like telling them to speak english.

so what do you think?
