Hi
My neighbour has a cactus on display in her window which has the look of an excited part of the male anatomy..but with spines.
As a celibate christian I am highly offended by this graphic repesentation of the male member and have approached her only to be told to 'go away' in no uncertain terms. How can I approach the issue, its really upsetting me?

For everyones information..I wasn't insinuating it looked like a penis for gods sake.. It reminds me of a mans smiley mouth.

You must think everyone reading your question is a complete Idiot ! why else would you tell us, that you did not think that the cactus in the window, looked like a penis? You said you "meant" that it looked like a mans smiley face.OH PLEASEEEEEEEE ! you said it has the look of an excited part of the male anatomy and was a graphic representation of the male member, I think that's the most sexually graphic description of a mans smile mouth anyone has ever given lady. If you want to stay a celibate christian than that's fine but good luck ! your going to need it if you think a simple mans smiley mouth looks like what you described.

Well, I'm sure she grew this cactus just to get that phallic look, on purpose, just to offend you.
Plants grow as they will, it is nature. And lots of cacti are shaped in that manner. I'm wondering why you seem so obsessed with its shape, when no one else sees that cactus in the same way that you do. Freud would have had plenty to say about your view of this plant.
You need to stop being so self absorbed. Not everything in the world is meant to please you. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it is going to go away.

replaced into the present only a welcome-to-the-community latest? if so, then inspite of your position on his existence form decision, he's already proved to be a extra pleasant neighbor than your self. Disapproving of a persons'' selections isn't like being rude and ostracizing the guy thoroughly — extraordinarily if the guy's dedicated no beside the point action in the direction of your relatives. From what you describe, your in worry-free words accusation is that he's behaved pleasantly in the direction of his acquaintances, in spite of what you've self belief of his bedroom habit. in case you favor to impart your values on on your children, there is not any reason you won't be able to attempt this even as final civil on your neighbor. Behaving rudely is likewise an ethical offense — except that one's yours.

Many species of cacti grow erect. It's not an intentional resemblance to male anatomy and I am sure your neighbor has it in the window to optimize its hours of daylight, not to torment you.
Stare at the cactus until it seems to remind you of something else, like looking at clouds and finding shapes.
Don't the thorns remind you of Jesus' crown of thorns? Do the branches of the cactus remind you of upstretched arms beseeching the Heavens for help?
Think of a Christmas cactus that blooms in the bleak midwinter, like a herald of Jesus' birth.
Stop focusing on the baser resemblances you can think of and start thinking in higher terms. God made the cactus, too.

It is none of your business, and it's a cactus! Perhaps only you see it as a male member, so how can you call yourself a celibate Christian? Go away.

Without sounding mean... Its a Cactus.. Everything that looks like a penis isn't a penis..
If you bother her again, she is going to tell you again to go away and I don't blame her....Sounds like your looking for things to bother you instead of thanking god for a great looking cactus, your looking for the negative....
Seems like religious fanatics at it again.. And I'm a Christian too... So stop your nonsense..

Well old sport I think I have a solution! Tell her you absolutely adore her plant and would be willing to swap for something similar, but no spines, a bit bigger and more practical. Go to the local adult shop, pick a nice one, pot it and wrap it in fine gift paper. As a final flourish, a nice big red bow. Who could resist?
I doubt you will see anything in her window, and you could put your new plant in yours to show how much you really love the plant.

If your eye offends you, pluck it out.
Or close your curtains.
What you neighbour does in the way of decorating their home is really none of your business. You've made your request, now deal with living in a world where not everyone sees things the way you do.
And by the way ~ it's a PLANT!!!!!!
Get over it.
Cheers :-)

If you truly are as you represent yourself, "Get a life"!!!! Grow up!!!! Consider those who are dying in Iraq, Afghanistan, Darfur, Myanmar and so on.
Get over yourself and petty crap like the shape of your neighbor's cactus!!

Well, why don't you move to Arizona? Then you can look at suaro cacti all day long in your backyard and desensitize yourself.
P.s. Suaros all look like giant penises. Some look like they have balls too. Even funnier is that woodPECKERS live in them.
