    The pituitary gland regulates aspects of growth. It’s inside the skull, and thus would be quite difficult to finger.

    Is there a problem with that? I have several friends with adopted kids of different races than themselves. Everyone seems happy and functional to me.

    I’m sure the upset gay man realizes all too well that he’s in a minority. But that is no reason for him to quietly submit to being put down and labeled as abnormal. Should blacks and Jews stop seeking equal rights in this country simply because they’re minorities? Should women everywhere just ‘accept their position’ as second-class citizens? I don’t think so, and the same applies in this case.

    There’s an excellent argument for underwear in that movie. It involves zippers.

    Why would a gay man want to have sex with a straight man? Wouldn’t there be less aggravation involved for everyone in approaching another gay man for sex? As a straight man, there’s no way for a gay man to approach me for sex if he’s serious about getting it. Sorry.

    in reply to: Why don’t foreigners follow our customs? #35904

    There’s a difference between maintaining a semblance of one’s own culture, as almost all immigrants do, and following the customs of the place you visit or now live. To the extent that a nation of immigrants can have a ‘common’ culture, newer immigrants follow it. They vote. They send their kids to school. They work in mainstream jobs. They learn English. They pay taxes. They drive on the right side of the road, and drive a lot. If you’re expecting all new immigrants or foreign tourists to act like straight, male, middle-class network engineers, I think that’s unrealistic.

    No matter who’s making the racial jokes, I don’t see anything to gain by joining in. The potential for misstepping is great as it’s virtually impossible to know with different people what’s acceptable and what’s not. Laugh at their jokes if you feel comfortable and if they’re funny. I wouldn’t go any further.

    The penis is not the most sensitive part of a man’s body, believe it or not. There are more nerve endings on the palms of the hand, the soles of the feet, the lips, the nipples. That said, however, it’s certainly more sensitive than an elbow or a nose. He should be able to feel whatever is happening to it in a pretty detailed way, and if he’s not, he may want to see a urologist.

    Quite apart from the racial issues, most states don’t allow people with felony convictions to be licensed as attorneys. Because most states view attorneys as part of the justice system, they don’t trust ex-cons to be part of it. But if the rules in Ohio allow it, it seems wrong to change the rules just to keep him out.

    I think the main result would be fewer people getting arrested for having, doing and selling drugs. People have shown pretty clearly that they’ll get addicted to drugs whether they’re legal or not. So if drugs were legal, the criminal justice system would spend less time worrying about it. I’m not sure how sports would be affected any more or less than the rest of society.

    A ‘pink-collar’ job is one that has usually been held by women in this country – teaching, secretarial work and things like that. Pink-collar jobs are usually remarkable for their low pay-to-responsibility ratio.

    I’d consider myself an atheistic Jew. I don’t have a problem with evangelical Christians, but I know other people like me who resent being preached to by evangelicals. For sure, it is offensive for someone to try to convert you from a belief you’re quite comfortable with. Anyway, atheists may be taking out their bad experience with missionary evangelicals on you, which is not a good idea.

    Really, who would ever have thought that people are poor just because they’re a little spacey? How novel! Of course, maybe the person who lacks common sense is the one who suggests that people who can’t afford contraception should just ‘try your best to prevent having more children.’ How exactly should they do that? By wishful thinking?

    I live in New York and I read all about that crime. This so-called ‘silence’ is typical of the kind of bogus conspiracy that some people like to use to create a false us vs. them atmosphere. I don’t know what a gay rights organization would have to say about this crime. I don’t think the defendants claimed to be acting on behalf of all gay people, as some white supremacists and gay bashers think they speak for others. In any case there’s no ‘suppression’ of this incident, either in the mainstream press or in this forum. Maybe you just need to read the paper more carefully.

    I’d rather look at or fondle a real part of a real person, rather than a plastic bag of salt water.
