There are lots of single men that find women of all shapes, ethnic backgrounds, and nationalities attractive. Drawing the conclusion that black women are under represented from one dating site is a gross generalization. And, you should be smarter than that.

I am happy to go out with any woman that shares my values and is intelligent while finding my tall, skinny, white ass attractive.

The best thing you can do is talk with your nephew. Give him other reading material that refutes the conspiracy theories. Set up a discuss with a structural engineer for the 9/11 theories. Give him the tools he needs to shake of the ideas he has fallen into accepting blindly.

Critical thinking must be taught. You don't pick it up by osmosis, and it is highly dependent on quality information and knowledge of the world. Bring your nephew into new situations, and I hope he will figure out that this website is totally bogus.

You can't get away from it. And, it is stupid to rail against it. The letter writer labeled the people she is complaining about as objectifiers. Even she can't stay away from it.

This is the normal behavior of people. The LW should consider her own behavior because she does the same damn thing.

I haven't read the other letters. So, maybe someone else has touched on this.

I am a guy, and I have said "No." on a first date makeout fest. There were several factors that were wrong. And, I still wanted to see this girl. We are still friendly to this day, over ten years later. But, I have met people who I thought I would like and found that during that first real date that we didn't have much in common. So, we didn't get together again.

Dating is hit and miss. You can be all into the other person, and they can simply not be in the right place in their life to appreciate you. But, blaming yourself for longer than a couple days (if that) is a mistake. It is his loss that he didn't want to see the LW again.

The responsibility rests with your mother. She has decreed that it is all or nothing while ignoring what happened to you. So, SHE is the person where the responsibility rests. I say that you should go to visit your parents if you want. If you abusive brother is there, make a quick appearance and leave. Or, show up when he is not there.

I have no desire to see my step father who was abusive to my whole immediate family. Fortunately, my mother does not try to make me see him - it is potentially because they are now divorced. But, I can honestly state that your mother is completely out of line here.

Rejecting these endorsements now, after the primaries in those states are over, shouldn't hurt McCain much if at all. But, to me, it just shows that McCain is not a political maverick. He is a calculating politician.

As a Vegan, you have chosen not to use animal products; yet, you want to be a Veterinarian. Don't you see the disconnect from the beginning? The small animals that you so love are ALL carnivores. Cats are especially cruel hunters when left to their own devices. They do not have your moral issues. They act according to their instincts which have been honed by evolution. But, you want to help such animals who eat other animals. Don't you see a problem here? This is in direct opposition to your philosophy. Instead, you are focused on animals to be killed for human food in much more humane methods than that used by cats or dogs or any other small animal who hunts its own food.

In addition, the case can be made that dogs and cats should not live in the homes of people because this is a protected environment that does not allow these animals to live to the fullest. It is true that the lives of food animals are not especially enjoyable compared to "free range" animals. But, do you think any living being wants to die? Do you think that if plants could choose, they would want to be uprooted so you could eat them and pretend that your morality is especially wonderful? Ultimately, you are just drawing the line at a different place than omnivores. It is a tradeoff, and it seems that you do not want to make a similar tradeoff to complete your Vet program.

You need to quit. It is the ONLY choice that does not compromise your ideals.

If you go on the internet to stalk and taunt people, then this case will threaten you. This woman went above and beyond anything a normal person will do on newsgroups, blogs, Facebook, or whatever media you might choose. This was a girl that her daughter had personal contact with. This was done to humiliate and degrade the dead girl. If you are doing those sorts of things, then you should be prosecuted.

But, this is nowhere near the same as flaming someone or attacking their posts.

The home team is expected to win. So, jumping on the bandwagon when the home team wins is ludicrous. When a team wins on the road, like Detroit, then it is the time to consider the possible changing of the guard or domination by the veteran teams.
