I want to learn more about Indians, their culture, food, everything. I'm Korean, by the way, and I want to learn so I can better understand. I'd rather ask my boyfriend but since he's in India right now on vacation and for a family wedding he's too far away to contact and he won't be back until the end of January.. ^^;

If the question is too broad, then maybe some suggestions about learning more about this topic or links would be nice too. Oh, and I want to learn about cricket too, he /loves/ cricket. I'm trying to learn about tennis so I can understand what he's talking about when he speaks of his tennis games.

Children who grow up to find someone special, who get married and have kids, who grow up to meet someone special, who gets married who has kids........ and so on

It seems to me that many people - especially girls, make it their life plan to find a perfect man and then, to them, their life is complete.........

Are they born eccentric, or do they gradually become eccentric? If so, how? And why does England have so many eccentrics compared to American society? What is it about English society which encourage eccentricism?

In some countries they are beaten for showing a forarm or ankle. But in others they are arrested for naked breasts and skimpy swim suits. I am sure that is the way it should be.
But why are men not arrested for showing their bodies? They say they are excited by the site of women's bodies. But the sex theripist at school says that women have the same feelings men do. Only they are excited by men's bodies.
So if men expose themselves shouldn't they be arrested and beaten? Middle eastern men do not have more testesterone.
that is a scientific fact. So why do they react more violently to the site of a female body? What do you think? Shouldn't men get in trouble for exposing themselves?

Then when you say, whoa, that's a lot to pay for shoes, they get real defensive, do you think that is underlying guilt? In marketing, I think it is called cognitive dissonance?

I'm really lonely a lot and it's been a while for me since i've had a date, it's been pretty much never that i've had a serious girlfriend and it's been a long time since i've had a casual girlfriend. I also don't always have people to hang out with all the time. I feel lonely sometimes because I'm really a great and interesting guy but so many people are missing out on me, and I'm going to waste. I often want to confide into people that i'm just lonely, that i need a friend, or maybe that i'm desperate, but desperation turns people off. Too often i feel like i can't say what i want to say, and it frustrates me to not be able to communicate. When I have one of those "moments" with a girl, that makes me thrilled beyond belief because i rarely have those, but to the girl, who is possibly prettier than I am, it's no big deal so i have to act like it's no big deal to me, because coming on too strong, is like the biggest sin. Or is depseration the least desirable thing in dating/social?

People say that to make your way in life you have to do what you love, do what you have a talent or a gift for.

I'm 36 and currently at home with my baby son. I want to go back to work but not sure what to do. I have a history degree which I've never used and have no real work experience other than a little bit of office and shop work.

I don't have a talent for *anything*. I like singing but tbh I sing fairly badly, I play the piano pretty terribly, I can't cook, I am not terribly creative, can't really make things or do anything "with my hands", I'm not really very good at looking after people or being a carer (other than for my son), I honesty can't think of anything I do well.

I've heard it said that everyone has at least one gift but at 36 I've yet to discover mine. I don't think I have one. So what do people with no particular gift do for a career? There are things I like doing but nothing I can do *well* . . .

Do you have any ideas for me for how to help bring down civilization? I've read Ishmael as well as some of Derrick Jensen's books and I'm convinced that civilization needs to go. I know that I obviously can't do it alone and that my efforts probably won't do anything which is why I'm at a loss for what to do. But you know the whole "think globally, act locally" thing... maybe I can make a difference locally....

I was reading an article in a magazine about teenagers who want to be WAGs. They all spend hundreds of pounds a month on clothes, makeup, etc (well, their parents do) and one of them said she wouldn't care who she married, as long as he was famous and had enough money for her to buy what she wanted! Does anyone else think that people who behave in this way are ridiculous and that it shouldn't be promoted and made to look like a good idea in magazines, etc? What about those people who aren't stick thin, beautiful and rich, yet are more caring, understanding individuals?

Every time I see things like "Wy iz my BF cheeting on me wth my frend!" or "Wut kind of fone do u have?", a little piece of my faith in humanity dies. How can people not care about their writing abilities when it's a direct representation of them? Spellcheck is only a click away!

I had a look at a list of 18th century technologies, and it had all been done before in places like ancient Greece and China, including steam engines and batteries. So why the sudden leap forward?

It seems now and days people don't know the real definition of child molesting. The person who can get the closest to the correct definition will get best answer


Clue:One can be over 18 and the other could be under but that is not child molesting.

It seems like fat people are the brunt of everyones ire. With it in the media constantly about how large our country has gotten, fat people are becoming worse targets than ever before.

I have not always been fat, and have gained a huge amount of weight due to health issues and I am just SHOCKED at how people treat me.

What gives? What gives skinny people the right?

Its like instant judge and jury, you are fat so forget about you. No one seems to concider that some people don't want to be fat, even if they dont have a condition making them keep the weight on.

(before anyone says change your meds, I need the steroids I am on, I need the anti inflamitories and other medications I am on or I WILL DIE)

I moved from one part of Scotland to another, 17 years ago but still seem to have my original accent. A friend of mine is from New Zealand but has been living here for only 6 years, and her accent has changed totally. Why do some people's accents change, while others don't? I wish i could change mine. Thanks.
