    Jim, you’re on the right track, but how about teaching your scouts that courteous behavior toward everyone is the key to civilized behavior? I hate when someone lets a door close in my face; it doesn’t matter to me if it was a man or a woman who was rude and inconsiderate. Also, you will be doing these young people an enormous favor if you teach them to listen to others and not interrupt. Civilized conversation seems to be a lost art; conversation has become competition, with everyone feeling they must make their point RIGHT NOW. The key to all of this is respect; if they behave respectfully, they will receive respect in return.

    I can’t speak for all women, but I find men’s penises to be quite uninteresting. My experience has led me to believe men are much more fascinated with their penises than women are. Most of my straight female friends tell me they love a nice, tight, round butt on a man, or a nicely muscled chest.

    I’ve lived in the Washington, D.C., metro area for 17 years, and I’ve worked in downtown D.C. for 15 of those years. I am amazed you’ve had doors held open for you. My experiences here have led me to the firm belief that rudeness is an Olympic sport here. The arrogance of the people here is utterly astonishing. I grew up in Tennessee, where civility is paramount and rudeness is almost a crime. If I didn’t get back home to civilization twice a year I think I’d go nuts here.

    Why do you assume there are “many white people” who want to sweep racism under the carpet? Isn’t it as wrong for you to make racial generalizations about white people as it is for white people to make generalizations about African Americans? I grew up in rural East Tennessee. Many people make many assumptions about me based on that one aspect of my life, and many of those assumptions are untrue. My great-grandfather operated a steam ship landing during the Civil War; he was ostracized in his community for refusing to service Confederate vessels. I am proud that he stood firm in his beliefs. I am also proud to be a Southerner and a Tennessean. Not all of us who are proud of our Southern heritage are racists or bigots.

    That’s always worked for me. You don’t owe anyone an explanation, and you have the power and the right to choose with whom you spend your time. If the date is requested from someone I work with my response is that I don’t mix my social life with my professional life. If it’s someone outside of work, and they are rude enough not to accept ‘no, thank you,’ I usually tell the person that I’m not interested in seeing anyone at this stage of my life.

    Mike, get a life. Why do you care if any woman removes her body hair? Get over your sexist perspective that body hair on women is repulsive. Get to know what is in a woman’s mind, in her heart. That’s where true beauty can be found.

    It may seem hopeless now, but you will love again. It takes time, and it requires that you find within yourself that wonderful ability to be with yourself. Sudden death is the worst. We are always left wondering if there was something we could have done to prevent the tragedy we have to live with. Kory, you are not poison; people do not die because you love them. Find people you can talk to and who you can trust, and then share your fears. If you want to talk to someone on the outside and you have an ICQ number, send me a request to be added to your contact list. I am 1358743.

    Edna, can you honestly say you have never seen straight people dance in a sexually suggestive manner? Come on, now. You probably just didn’t give it a second thought because it seemed ‘normal’ to you. Personally, I think there is some behavior that is flat out inappropriate for public display, and it doesn’t matter if the persons are gay, straight, bi, asexual or Martian. I think it trivializes something very special between two people to behave in such an overtly sexual manner in public, and it embarasses me to see it.

    Roy, I respectfully disagree. Freedom of speech does, in fact, include speech that is offensive. In fact, I think that is the very speech the First Amendment was meant to protect. Speech that is considered acceptable to the majority is in no need of protection. It is the unpopular, inflammatory speech that is in need of the guarantees of the First Amendment.

    I’d be curious to know what it is that you think the “liberal NEA” and its making a doormat out of the First Amendment has brought us.
