"cultural norms"

I gotta call bs....

Ain't no difference in a white man doing his woman dirty than thee s a black man doing his woman dirty. Same is true of hispanics or asians or feakin inuits.

I got zero repect for cultures that treat a sex as inferior....If a cultural norm is to treat someone as less......that culture is f'kn cro-mag.



grab a chill pill krup,,, lol

I didnt have race in mind when I mentioned culture, I was speaking more aobut culture in terms of asian, western, etc,,,,


some cultures are patriarchal and some are matriarchal and the expecatations vary according to who is seen (primarily) as provider and decision maker,,,

where people have the most to loose, they risk the least

but I dont think that has to do with introducing race or religion as much as it does the human condition to want to save ones own behind,,lol


I think it doesnt have to divide us when we have honest discussion aimed at producing results,,,,I think its the best kind of discussion we can have when we are seeking to make progress


You and I agree so there is nothing to discuss..just waiting for a different view to ours.

Unless of course you and I are the only ones on here NOT living in Leafy Suburbia.




haaa,,, what makes you think I dont live in Leafy Suburbia (aside from me living in the desert ,,lol)

I don't see how cheating can not be viewed as bad.



its tricky

I would never do it, because I Think it is 'bad'

but many people dont have a connect between sex and emotions, and their version of living is 'live and let live' even in their own relationships

their partner may consider them 'cheating', but they never considered themself to be in a commitment in the first place

or their feelings seem 'complicated' by new feelings for someone else,,,etc,,,





True, but that has nothing to do with gender.


it is reinforced by cultural norms and expectations though

I am wondering how much room folks would be willing to make in their life for a new person? Would it be a few minutes a day, week, or maybe more? Would you be willing to alow them space in your home? My space is really limited so I am thinking how would I fit another person in. LOL I would have to bring in a chair just to set down to the table for a meal. Shareing a closet ? Wow it better be a really great guy lol. What about you all?



there is plenty of room in our home, but not in my brain

at least not right now

Im in an extended family living with six other people and that pretty much preoccupies me,, I dont know if I have enough extra MENTAL space to fit in someone else,,,,

why is it every time I say I am seeing someone or dating someone, everyone jumps to the conclusion that I have a steady boyfriend or am exclusive with one person? I have not committed to any one person yet people assume that every time I mention someone.

It takes a duration of time to get to that point where you are willing to commit to one person and one person only. You can't just date someone for a short period of time and know enough about them to go exclusive.

I dated my husband exclusively for 3 years before dating him but it was dating. I find so many people want to jump the gun straight to being exclusive or even worse engagement or marriage.

I enjoy my little life. I enjoy dating different people and learning different things.

Any thoughts on this?



dating means different things to different people

when I hear someone mention they are 'dating someone' I also figure it is their way of saying they are already involved or why would they mention it

I am mostly approached with 'are you single' which leaves the easier option of saying yes or no, without having to describe what state of 'singleness' I am in

I think I kinda see your point, but I don't really agree. You're either a good person or not, regardless of culture, age, or anything else.



I agree with that

I just dont think everyone views cheating in the perspective of whether someone is 'good' or not,,,

men or women, who cheats more?


The one who hasn't matured enough to communicate properly, and figure out what it is they really want. Can be male, female, or whatever. To think one gender cheats more than the other is as ignorant as thinking that a specific race cheats more than another.


its not necessarily ignorant, as the laws of numbers dictates one PROBABLY does do it MORE than the other

its much less likely that the situation is evenly split down the middle

taking into account culture also makes one situation more likely than another

its like saying people in their twenties are more likely to be starting families than people in their thirties,,,because culture promotes promiscuous party style lifestyles for college aged folks more than it does for those who have achieved degrees and responsibilities etc,,,

haa, well, if its been done, Im sure it got too personal to last long,,lol

one of those passionate topics and No

most wont change their minds,,,


Well this thread is about race so we are on Topic.

I can honestly say that I am not a Racist.

Racism is normally brought to the surface
at election time and when we have economic downturn.

Race and Religion are two of the most divisive subjects
that are used to divide people.

Thing is,

In whose interest is it to introduce Race and Religion?
Who Benefits most from division of people.

One rarely if ever see riots and mayhem in
leafy suburbia.






where people have the most to loose, they risk the least

but I dont think that has to do with introducing race or religion as much as it does the human condition to want to save ones own behind,,lol

I really don't know who this Breitbert guy was, but get the feeling that he was a right wing pundit giving his opinion as though they were facts to any doober dumb butt that would listen.




thats amazing,, and I never believed in psychics before,,,


brava :banana: :banana:


may he rest in peace, however much of an opportunist deceiver he may have been,,,


Opportunist because he reported what was really going on uncensored? Opportunist? Really? He didn't go on every media outlet and show the revealing pictures of Wiener that he recieved. If he were an opportunist he would have sold them to EVERY media outlet and put them all over the internet and EVEN took legsl action against someone who illegally took a pucture of one of the pictures in his posession because he didn't want to expose Weiner like that.



no, he used internet,, which is becoming much more widely viewed than network television

opportunists dont have to take advantage of EVERY opportunity, they just have to be opportunistic

opportunistic: : exploiting opportunities with little regard to principle or consequences



as in, the highly 'edited' footage he is known for releasing to attempt to blemish peoples reputations and possibly harm their careers

Racism is alive and well and Thriving in Western Economies where Free Market Capitalism has failed and blame has to be laid wherever it can find a home.





we agree, but many dont agree with us


It is quite difficult to Educate those over 18 to 99 year olds who have closed minds



I think its easier to blame the 'group' than to look at possible influences and causes,,,,


That would make an interesting Thread Topic......or has it been done to death like all other threads....and will anyone change their mind or viewpoint...

Expresses the sense of the Congress that the President did not comply with the War Powers Act when he ordered the April 14, 1986, attack on Libya. Urges the President to comply with such Act in the future.


war powers act is not about 'blatant disregard'

it is about consulting with congress before ordering military action

which Reagan did not do when HE ordered air strikes over Libya either,,,

he met with 'members' of congress,, as did OBama

but he never got 'congressional approval' in the formal sense of the ambiguous term


It still must not be the exact same scenario........or they wouldn't be going as far as they are with it



of course its not exactly the same,, that was their Revered Raegan, and this is the socialist, communist, america hating, future destroying President OBama,,,,,

and NATURALLY, the provocation for the action then wasnt the EXACT same as the one in 2011

but the action was the same,,,


Well then reagan should have faced the same, but doesn't mean Obama shouldn't face it now.


what should happen is a CLEARLY laid out criteria for whether the office has that power or NOT

not to have one standard earlier and then punish the next person who follows the same standard,,,

there are different levels and types of love, so

its possible to be having sex with more than one person that you love


cheating, though, implies breaking a commitment, which I believe can happen in the form of a one night stand ,,,but not in the form of an ongoing second relationship,,,,when love is involved

The civil rights movement was necessary but now has become a nuisance. There are too many people my age complaining about racism cause they can't get a job to which I say pull your damn pants up and brush your hair. There was a time when affirmative action was a must and its time has passed and needs to go away.


I can never get an answer to when, precisely (year), racism stopped being a problem,,,,,,
