Reply to Personal Survey in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

1) Does it matter to you that some of your friends are not religious? Not at all. 2) After you have known someone for a while, do you care about his/her appearance? Not usually. (ie. It does bother me if a messy-looking person also has the bad odor to accompany the look.) 3) Are you inclined to strike a relationship with someone who usually agrees with your politics? It would be nice if others shared my politics, but I have yet to find many that

Reply to Heterosexism in Schools in Current Events JoeUser Forums

The issue here really isn't about heterosexism in schools, it's about equality in schools. Regardless of your own personal stance on homosexuality, I think the chances of having a same-sex homecoming king or queen really depends on how supportive, accepting, and nonjudgemental the society of that school is. Is this something that can be engineered by adults? I don't think it can be done alone... I think support from the peer group is a necessity. But,

Where I Am Tonight in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I've just spent the past hour or so organizing a blog regarding gay marriage. I've been frustrated because my ShitComputer can't handle life in the fast lane of the demands put out by JoeUser's system. Not that I'm bitching about JoeUser, but half the time my ShitComputer punks out and I have to restart all over again. I've been a little apprehensive posting the aforementioned blog, only because I realize how my views seem to conflict w

My Perspective on Gay Marriage in Current Events JoeUser Forums

There have been numerous blogs concerning same-sex marriage both for and against it. I have read these articles with great interest and sorrow. It is saddening to see the stances that some people have against it, and for the reasons tha

I used to like dogs a lot, until the neighbors who live in the house behind my apartment got a cute, little yippy dog. I think I could handle a dog with a low, deep bark, but the noise from this pooch is driving me insane. Lately, I've been thinking though, why take it out on the dog (I've got a lot of little nice endearments that I use to refer to him, and if I'm walking by, I angrily[and stupidly] shout at it to shut it)? No, it's the owner>/i> I am pissed at. The owner who ca

Reply to Why some people look fatter than others in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

I've often wondered what it would be like if I could switch body types. Not necessarily transform into the ultimate body type that is adored today, but still remain at relatively the same weight but carrying it differently. For instance, I wonder if having a bigger booty would be better than having a nice round tummy. I guess that's just the lazy way of saying I don't feel like working out, but want my fat in a different area sometimes. ;)

I know what you mean! I'm heading to my parents' place this afternoon, and I've got my laundry bag all packed, and a disc full of stuff that needs printing. I do feel like a mooch, but they keep inviting me home, so...? It's nice to play with the pets back home, but nicer not to have to clean up after them!

Reply to Has aynone ever successfully met a sex partner on the web? in Internet JoeUser Forums

I developed a relationship with a guy that spanned 2 years and we never managed to meet. He came to my hometown once, emailed spontaneously, and I wasn't there to receive the message. I went to the city that he lives in, and the same thing happened. We discussed meeting on lots of occasions, but we both later decided that we didn't want to ruin what we had made to that point. (We started off emailing, progressed to Instant Messenger, and then phone cal

Instant Gratification in Misc JoeUser Forums

Let me start out by saying that I once heard someone say (repeatedly) that people who purchase lottery tickets are simply paying a Stupidity Tax, and I am not entirely disinclined to agree. But, I would just shrug it off and walk to the cornerstore and get my ticket while picking up a pack of rolling papers for him. (Yeah, I think he was paying a Stupidity Tax as well, but he had all kinds of arguements to back that up.) I digress. So,

Speak My Language in Misc JoeUser Forums

I was reading through other people's blogs today, and came across JEPEL's latest , which is about the launching of his new blog, in his french language. It got me to thinking about the possibilities of me doing the same thing, in mine. Well, I think the possibilities for me to do it, is virtually none. I have taken Ojibway in school, but like many other languages, if you do not

I think it's apt that you put your post under religion. My friend owns a place called St.Veronus that serves Belgium Beer... he calls it his Beer Temple. I'm going to have to go with you on this. Once you start experimenting with different kinds of beer, you can't go back to just any domestic brand. One of the best things

Reply to My experence of racism. in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

As one of the few people of color in my neighborhood growing up, I was lucky for the most part. Being an Indian was cool, to most of our friends. But we (my brother and sister and I) were always picked to be Indians during Cowboys and Indians games, got war whooped continually, and had several drinking references when we were older. It was as we were growing up that I found it odd when people would talk about racism, then look at me and say, 'don't wor

There are a lot of interesting ideas suggested, and my only worry is that when other things are implemented it won't be too taxing for my computer. I have a CrapComputer. With DeceleratedSpeedService. Still, it works. But very sloooowly on the forums section. (The rest isn't too bad). The most plain design is in my computer's best interest.
