So if the majority dictates you must conform, you just comply? You are the last person I would suspect of being compliant, Atlantis, seriously, no sarcasm intended. Welcome to Democracy. Isn't the majority decides who the president is? Isn't the majority decides who gets voted into the Congress? Townhalls? Neither I am sarcastic. I just quoted Jefferson a few hours ago in another thread: A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine. So what you're saying is that school is a democracy? I think most people who've gone to high school would seriously disagree with that. No one is in mortal danger of getting hurt because someone refuses to dress to gender conformity. And I dislike the idea of sending children of a different nature to a different school based on their needs. Socially that isn't good for either straight children or of anyother sexuality. That's what breeds fear and misconception about sexuality. They say the only truely strange sexuality is having none at all. So why on earth should we separate people based on it. Or discriminate against one another? Shouldn't we evolve past all that socially? Animals don't discriminate based on sexual pereference. Homosexuality and bisexuality happen in the animal kingdom all over the place (not that this is one of those animals are better arguements). IF we are supposed to be the most intelligent species how is that we can't move past these issues? Well said... except I'm gay and celebate. I can't win.. But I don't feel strange at all. Ahh, sorry Boo I don't think it's strange to be celebate...Also I have no idea who "says" any of that (I should find that out). To be celebate wouldn't that mean you still have urges? And to that extent imply some sort of sexuality? |

I wonder if a gay guy wanted to dress up as a girl for the photo (skirt, bras, a wig, lipstick, fake nails and so on) Would that be allowed? No, it probably wouldn't "be allowed". A tux isn't gender specific (in my mind). Many women have worn them over the decades in movies and in other media. They're like a fancy pant suit for crying out loud. IT shouldn't matter if she is gay or just looks like a boy- though I don't see it- as I used to cross dress I can usually tell. IT IS HER PICTURE. She's not dressing disrespectfully. It's not some tacky short skirt with no underpants thing. She's not harming anyone. A year book is of the life of the students. If she "looks and dresses" like a boy all the time then shouldn't she get to in the senior class photos? This is a mountain out of a mole hill situation. And the people making it a problem is likely the adults who think they are mature and open minded. Whereas the students probably don't give an honest damn how she appears in the photos so long as they recognize her. She should have the right to dress as she likes. Though, personally I don't think it's a big deal to wear a dress one day. I even like them in the summer. I had to wear one for my parents wedding (it was too long and I almost biffed it going up a set of stairs). This particular girl might look silly if she did put a dress on with that hair cut... |

What part of "I've mailed 300 people" gives people the impression that I signed up yesterday instead of, oh, the year ago you can see right under my picture? Am I unreasonable to think that zero dates per year is a bit low? I've been signed up for two years (plus?) and I've only been to meet two guys. One of which was super cool and fun. I'd still love to meet some of the people farther away- not the point. It DOES takes time. When you get all antsy just remember, she's got a lot to do as well. It'll happen when it happens you just have to be open and prepared (slightly) for the fact that love doesn't just happen right away. |

What Would You Ask God?

Actually, if you read some of the Gnostic texts at Sacred-Texts, Adams a bigger twit then Eve ever could be. Adam keeps crying himself to death, and God kept ressurecting him. Eve was the one who kept things going. I'd have slapped him silly and left his butt. Well, that's a very good point as well. Why would Adam even need a "helpmate" in the first place? Besides, what was Adam even supposed to be doing that he needed help with? It makes more sense that God first created woman who could have babies on her own and procreate. At least then it makes sense that the woman could potentially need help with raising all her children. Then God could have made her a "helpmate". Of course in either case, it's an afterthought. So that implies that God wasn't thinking clearly in the first place and hadn't thought everything through entirely. Otherwise why would there be any "belated" need to create a helpmate for anyone? kaadeshka wrote:
I'd ask IT if it really has a gender. Then perhaps, if the Bible was really written by prophets who were writting the opinions of IT. Cuz, a lot of it seems to be written by old, biased, prejudiced men. Exactly. The whole thing seems to want to belittle women. Women were created as an 'afterthought' as a 'helpmate' to man. Women are blamed for seducing men into sin. Women are only worth have as much money as men when purchasing humans as slaves (This supposedly comes straight from God) Women are supposed to keep their mouths shut and never speak out on religious or important social issues. Can we imagine any modern Christian women abiding by that divine directive? I don't think so! I don't want to come off as a man hater (it's probably too late though ) I'm just curious as to why a perfect creator would consider one of his creations so unimportant. Even though we were supposed to populate the world, both sides would be very vital to this task...Without one we wouldn't be able to. It's just odd. |

For the record,I am not a woman,I can be obsessive and those 'in the know' know the meaning of 'be seeing you'.. be seeing you Whatever your reasons (I don't care- it's just silly) your point was that most all women somehow manage to think with their emotions. By your own logic you've basically called MOST males women as well... From what I've observed guys don't usually like getting called that. But! To not like something would imply emotion as well. So this logic that all women think with their emotions means that men do as well. And THUS MAKES ALL OF THE HUMAN RACE: WOMEN. Nice to see you again, Kaadeshka. Welcome back. Hey Winx!

Singing or Annoying?

Hmmm. I think those that can't tune out such noises are awfully odd. If it bothers them, they should move to the city. Then they can go on about construction, planes, car alarms, horns, emergency sirens, traffic, motorcycles, and the neighbors music/tvs/lovemaking. Sometimes there are birds in the city as well... Back home I had a raven sit outside my window for an hour and caw. That was pretty annoying. But, most birds sound lovely. And I've got a huge tree outside my window so I get to hear it often. |

oh yeah..cause this is the FIRST...women are crazy thread. And men think with what? If u were thinking with your brain then u won't be saying such a statement.How would u feel it we came out and said that about men? Ah, it all makes sense now. For if you get upset at anything that means you "think" with your emotions. Which, by your "logic" would make you a woman. Why do you follow up everything you post with 'be seeing you'? It's kind of annoying man. Ah yes, laughter- a cause of the emotion amusement/happiness. An emotion. Therefore, you're a woman -with a heavily obessive issue. |

I can't put a pic up an I don't think ill ever find love I have a facebook but its not good enough Wow. I couldn't even read through your profile. A little puncuation and some spelling corrections would help you find a person on the site. It's okay to take some time, you're young it's all you've got (I'm young too so, I totally get it). But, fix up the profile and with a little care you could go places I'm sure. |

would you want to find them? Has anyone seen them? Wait? Your family is missing? That's aweful. I'd find 'em. I have an awesome family. They're pretty crazy, but I get along just fine. You are a lucky woman. My family was not so awesome but they were all I had. I think typically, that is how it works. Family should be treasured and a person has very little if they don't have one. However, there are different types ya know? I have a family of friends too. I like to have friends because they're your chosen family. You are wise as well as beautiful. I'll remember those words as I continue my search Aww thanks |

oh yeah..cause this is the FIRST...women are crazy thread. There are usually methods to ones madness. Some females think with their emotions- which technically come from their BRAIN, as the BRAIN is the center for pretty much every function the human body mangages. So, yes. The real question is: Why does your brain make you so discriminatory towards the opposite gender. It goes both ways. Act "crazy" and chances are you'll attract crazy. |

Secret Crushes

I don't get the secret crushes... I realize there are many on here not looking, married, in a relationship, that sort of thing. There are some of us who are actually seeking a partner, I don't think I'm the only one. So wouldn't you want to let one know there is a crush? Attempt getting to know someone and see if there is any connection... Is everyone just so scared or jaded to expose their crush and take a risk? crush and lust....no difference between the 2 yes Jt there is.... name it.... A crush is both an emotional and physical thing. Whereas lust is all about the immediate sight and instant sexual want. |
