Is there some reason you’ve decided you can’t make new friends? Ten percent of all people are gay, about half of those are women. If the lesbians in your town aren’t out and accessible, go to a place where they are. You can’t pretend to be something you’re not. People who try this, and marry and have children, are selfish jerks who create unneccessary pain for their families.

Men are visual and most women can’t keep up the facade of physical perfection throughout a long relationship. Men have more trouble getting off with people they know well, the opposite of most women. The anonymity of a strange, faceless female feeds into the male coding to spread their seed as far and wide as possible. AGAIN, be grateful if porn is as far as it goes. In the scheme of things, a little skin flick ain’t a big deal.

As far as I know, the Westboro Baptists are just annoying morons. Let the punishment fit the crime. The Phelps family certainly deserve to be protested, criticized, mocked and verbally abused. But death seems a bit harsh. They’ll be stunned when they DO get to the pearly gates to find that God isn’t a homophobic ass and that they’re headed straight to hades.

As someone who has suffered numerous bouts of melanoma and has never tried to get a tan, I assume it’s because you can’t quite avoid the sun completely. It’s no coincidence that pale complected people in the US sunbelt, Africa, Australia and places like that have EXTRAORDINARY rates of death from skin cancer. Blacks can also get skin cancer by the way. Bob Marley died of it.

Their parents teach them about their homelands but complain bitterly when the schools try to teach them English, Civics, US History, etc.

Scientists who happen also to be religious believe that God had a hand in evolution. This doesn’t seem to be a major conflict to me. Sadly, religion in the hands of the not very smart often becomes an inflexible weapon they use to bludgeon people with.

Now, please leave the rest of us alone. Your opinions are no more valuable than those of a Muslim, Buddhist or Atheist. Sadly too many religious people feel comfortable trying to indoctrinate others. NOT a very Godly thing to do.

It is the poorer, less worldly Christians who make everyone else look bad with their intolerance. My feeling is that most bigotry is class related and geographical rather than directly related to Christianity (although there are certainly pastor agitators who stir people up for political reasons). I am not a Christian but I think most Christians are “normal”, rational people with at least some common sense.

The Church is losing its audience in educated nations and that’s why it is all for opening the US border and merging with Mexico. It relies on superstition and ignorance to survive. Even Italy, the Vatican’s host nation, has a negative birth rate because people have figured out that it’s suicide to have children you can’t afford to feed, clothe and educate. The Church will eventually have to change or it will be phased out entirely.

Clearly these things have no affect on the average person’s life. Sadly too many of us are not bright enough to comprehend the things that really matter, like the fact that our country is broke and falling apart.

Movies these days tend to use extremely obvious character types because studios don’t believe Americans are smart enough to grasp subtlety. Trust me, I sit through these meetings. The vast majority of gay men are not overt and I would suspect you know plenty of gay men and might not even realize it.

A good law school rule of thumb: Embryo is to baby as acorn is to oak tree. Criminal courts do not deal with the loss of potential life. One would have to try such a case in civil court where the verdict would involve emotional/financial damages but not jail time.

Parents who think they can forestall the knowledge by not talking about it are just dooming their kids to early, unwanted pregnancies and STDs. Sarah Palin, anyone? The best way to keep kids virginal is to be honest with them about sex and talk about it early, 10, not 16. By the time your kid’s in high school it’s too late to begin the dialogue.

My father-in-law owns a Ford. But I’ve heard of older Jews who won’t own Fords, won’t listen to Wagner, etc. These are usually people with European roots who have memories of the Holocaust. Most younger Jews would rather put their energies toward Ahmedinejhad than long dead Henry Ford.

Name : Dot, Gender : Female, Age : none, City : L.A., State : CA, Country : United States, Social class : Middle class,Some people will say it’s a class thing, and that might be partly true, but… A lot of it IS cultural appreciation for education. The L.A. Times just did a piece on a poor, immigrant neighborhood where kids from Mexico and China attend public school. Overwhelmingly the Chinese kids felt pressure from parents to do well in school. Also most of the Latino kids reported that family time was considered more important than homework time. That for whatever reason education just wasn’t important to their parents. Amongst turn of the last century immigrant groups the European Jews were driven to educate their kids whereas the Italians and the Irish not so much. The LGBT community is varied. My understanding is that gay and bisexual men have higher incomes but that childless gay women
