Yeah, I abandoned Christianity for some of the same reasons. I also abandoned it because of the way some Christians behave. Like being hypocrites and self righteous. Since I live in the Midwest of the US it has it's share of Fundamentalist Christians. There's a famous shopping district in KC...
Wow, I didn't know The Smurfs were that old, I watched them when I was real young.
There weren't that many female smurfs, as a kid I had issues with that. :bluush:
How is the word "racist" being applied here? Just wondering, because reading the article it doesn't seem that the Swiss system is racist, even though I don't I don't know much about it. It doesn't come off as racist to me, maybe very strict though.
I believe you're correct when you say that some Americans don't understand the grief that Europeans are feeling. But then, these complaints are coming mainly from Conservatives who think Mexicans are just coming to the US just steal "American" jobs. And they're not trying to learn English, but...
Aside from the stereotypes. Every time I think of France, for some reason I think of fashion. :o I never really held negative views towards like many Americans are taught, but there some things we could learn from them. I like French cuisine and wines (yeah that's another thing that comes...
Seems this thread is about how some journalists can't pronounce certain words correctly. :p
Fox News or Fox Noise, that's what annoys me. I cannot stand that network, it really angers me when they claim they're "fair and balanced" because they're not, they're a right wing propaganda...
If I were fed up with life in Kansas City I would move in a heartbeat if I won the lottery. There's no upward mobility in KC, and I know that when I finish graduate school I'm leaving KC to find another job elsewhere.
I would love to live in several parts of Europe, like Venice, Italy and...
I'm taking a course that is dedicated entirely to Shakespeare. I just finished Richard III and I'm going to read Titus Andronicus.
Richard III is now one of my favorite Shakespeare plays. :-)
You're correct Maciamo, 1973 was the year abortion became legal in the US. But the mentality of anti-abortion people is that "Well women who get abortions are just irresponsible sluts who are taking the easy way out." Oh I'm going to look for some pro-life propaganda. :D
Why doesn't the...
Restrictive laws or making it illegal has never stopped women from getting illegal abortions. But making it illegal only makes it more dangerous. Sadly, alot of anti-abortion people want abortion to be outlawed but don't want to push for policies (i.e. equal access to family planning services...
I wouldn't be too quick to blame this on immigrants. Are they getting fair access to family planning services? That could be a factor, and poverty plays a role too. But it's not surprising, abortion rates among minorites or immigrants are usually higher.
Not surprising that the US is down there. Kind of surprised that the UK is though. American students do poorly in school because teachers are not invested in students anymore and don't expect much from them it's really not that American kids are dumb. So that's one way the US is failing...
I would have to agree with you about blow jobs and touching, if that's included as a sexual act then yes, it should be 70%. Unless of course Belgians are just.....hee nevermind. :bluush: :giggle:
Anyways, sex in a car, not that unusual if you really think about it.
Mine are:
-Snoring
-People who chew with their mouth open. ( I can't stand that!)
-When people are loud for no reason
-Those students in class who think they know more than the professor
-Bad cell phone manners (people who don't turn off their cell phones during, movies, lectures, etc.)...
Just wondering,
As far as opinions goes, does it have to deal with issues of abortion and the death penalty and the other issues you've mentioned Maciamo? What opinions on other issues like, when is it justifiable to go to war to another country? Or issues like fair trade? I'm just coming up...
