- While most Jews would buy a Ford if that was the car they preferred, they are also aware that Henry Ford was a vicious anti-semite. Many Jews will not buy a Volkwagen (Hitler's 'People's Car'),although most Jews would not shy away from going to Disneyland, even though we know now that "Uncle Walt" was anti-semitic.

Egypt, total power and authority, pyramids, Israelite slaves? I have no idea what a home agent is. Good luck with your business.User Detail :

(I hate that term). It's about being polite, inclusive and linguistically correct. I don't think in this day and age that it should be all that difficult to refer to "humanity" instead of "mankind". How about "Staff" instead of "Man"? ('They needed someone to staff the booth'). That was easy, wasn't it?User Detail :

I believe the courteous term is "to haggle". I grew up in Portland Oregon in the sixties and heard, "Kike", "Yid" etc. A girl tried to beat me up in the 7th grade, calling me a "dirty kike".(I kicked the shit out of her). Had a co-worker make a "joke" about "getting the ovens ready". Had a woman tell me during a fight that, "I was the kind of Jew that gave the holocaust a good name".User Detail :

You are gay if you have or want to have sex with men. You enjoy the fantasy of watching 2 guys get it on. So what? I'm a lesbian and I know a lot of lesbians who also get turned on by boy on boy action. Does that make us gay men?? Does that make us heterosexual? LOL. Human sexuality is marvelously diverse. Enjoy your movies. Enjoy your wife/girlfriend. Enjoy life. Honor all beings. You'll be fine.User Detail :

Most lesbians become aware of feelings towards women friends (or girlfriends if they become aware earlier in life). Longing, desire,the feeling of falling in love with other women often comes before sexual desire. If you have no desire to "be" with a woman in a romantic way (holding hands, falling in love, setting up house, getting married) and you do have such desires towards men, you're probably not a lesbian, as such. That said, apparently lots of women have sexual feelings for other women at some point in their lives. The label is rather unimportant. Live your life. Love whomever you will. Be free.User Detail :

Do they? There's a whole TV show called "Cheaters" and I have yet to see a gay person on it! I don't think there's a lot of data to back up the assumption inherent in your question,Vicki. Studies have shown that on the scale of the number of sexual partners, gay men are #1, then straight men, then straight women, then lesbians. This is the number of partners, however and doesn't reflect other partners while inside a committed relationship (which is what I think you mean by "cheating") In terms of sociobiology, men tend to be promiscuous (their strategy for increasing their chances of reproducing), while women tend to be "coy" (being "choosy" about their mates, since they must litUser Detail :

In the U.S., lots of people are accepting and lots of people aren't. In lots of other countries, being queer results in beatings, imprisonment and execution. Some gay folks aren't even accepted by their own loved ones, never mind "society".User Detail :

It's just odd and apparently, disconcerting. "Lesbian behavior" is; Working, playing, paying the bills, raising kids, going on vacation, making love with women, going to school, working for peace/being in the miltary, giving to charity, walking the dog, making love to women, cleaning the house, gardening, doing karate, doing chores, running errands, sleeping, going to the gym etc. Get my message?User Detail :

My guess is they don't have a problem with women in their bars. As for myself, I have no problem with women coming to women's bars (duh). My problem is when they come with men, dance with men, hold hands with men, smooch with men in lesbian bars. I see that EVERYWHERE I GO. It would be nice if there was one little piece of the world where who I am and what I do is the norm. It would be nice if the women's bar was that place. I would rephrase your question like this: Is it ok for a Christian to go to services at a synagogue? Answer: Of course! But it's not OK if you go there and a) make the sign of the cross b) add "In Jesus' name" at the end of a prayer c) Don't wear a yarmulke etc. See my point here? When in Rome.....User Detail :

As a butch lesbian, I think women lovers stripping for me is very sexy. As for straight women strippers, who get off on stripping for men/money, I don't find that so sexy to be around. Women who are into strippers generally go to men's clubs because that's usually the only option. At the lesbian bar here in Portland, there's stripper night once a month or so, and those women really enjoy doing it for women, so it feels a lot more fun.User Detail :

Do you like being the 'older and wiser' man? Girls that much younger than you may seem non-threatening compared to girls your own age. Also, I would like you to consider how much, at your tender age, you are objectifying women already. Are you aware that this 13 year old may have been menstruating for less than a year? That compared to you she is a child? How about treating girls like whole sacred humans, rather than 'breast possessors'? As to your specific question, all pedophiles have 'reasons' for their desires. You should be aware that in many states, any sexual contact you have with a 13-14 year old may be illegal. It is certainly unethical because of the power imbalance between an adult and a child. If you are never attracted to girls you own age, and are always attracted to 13-14 year olds, you may want to discuss this with someone. It is good that you are looking for answers for your questions. Continue doing that, remember the right way to treat others and you will do fine.User Detail :

This biblical commandment is interpreted variously by different communities. Modern orthodox shave with electric shavers rather than razors. Chassidic pietists take the precaution of not shaving at all. In between are those who trim their beards but leave the payos (earlocks) alone as 'the corners'. I think these are the 'curls' you are talking about. Of course, lots of Jews have curly hair, but I think you re referring to the payos.User Detail :
