Haha, this is actually an issue for me sometimes. I've lived in the US for the majority of my life and so I'm accustomed to hearing African American. When I moved to the UK it got a bit weird because I'd have to stop myself from saying "African American". Althought TBH over here you rarely have to say that sort of thing…

I do think people are more friendly in the South. I definitely know that people from up north are ruder on the telephone - I have a summer job at a call center that deals mostly with people from NY and NJ and BOOOOOOY are they rude! Maybe its because they know they're getting sucked into a bad deal, deep down... (i'm a…

I'd just like to point out that breast size has little to do with what you eat or what kind of exercise you do. Even when I'm skinny, I still have D-DD boobs.

the real question is, who in the heck would hire an apple? :glasses:

I know. I guess it's just the little bit of child left in me thinking "she's a grown up, she's gotta know this"

FFFFFUUUUUUUU I'm just going to copy+paste my Timmy example again. I'd sure hate to have you on a jury! Apparently extra information that was never mentioned is okay to use as evidence... hmm. You want to prove Timmy hates red apples. But the ONLY information you have is that TImmy has less red apples than green apples.…

My issue is that you claimed unemployment told a story about discrimination. Which it doesn't. You can agree with that, right? If you can, then the conversation should have ended a long time ago.

You should treat any debate like an academic paper, if you expect to be taken seriously, which you seem to want to do. I already stated that discrimination does exist (which is an agreement with you, btw). I guess I just wanted to call out your faulty logic ;)

If you don't cite your work it doesn't count. If you've ever written an academic paper you'll know that. Sorry to burst your bubble :)

O....M.....G. You lack such basic reasoning skills it is getting to be a bit ridiculous. WHAT I SAID is that you can't ONLY give someone unemployment numbers if you want to back up claims of discrimination. How does that not make sense to you??? And have you ignored the FOUR times now I've said discrimination DOES exist?…

Are you actually reading what I've been saying? I've said about three times now that discrimination exists. All I was telling you off for was using faulty logic. Faulty logic is what misinforms people and makes them think things about certain groups.

Morgan Freeman is black.

You were basically saying this: Timmy has 2 green apples and 1 red apple. You can assume Timmy doesn't like red apples. Which is wrong. And that's all I was saying. Your logic wasn't working out. I even said that I knew that discrimination happened.

You quoted ONLY unemployment rates. You can not possibly draw any conclusions regarding discrimination SOLELY based on unemployment numbers, and you know that.

I don't doubt that, but what you said up there made no sense at all.

Unemployment rates don't tell you if people are unemployed because they were discriminated against, come on. Youve gotta be smarter than that. I'm not saying discrimination doesn't happen, but your example is ridiculous.

I'm with you on this - there definitely is a bias towards heterosexual white males. Not to say its nearly as bad as other groups have been treated, but to say there's no bias against them is silly. I went to grade school - high school at schools where I was the minority, and I can tell you that I've heard tons of people…

why would a different ethnicity be glamorous? it's strange how often causation people forget that they have a skin color, too. it was always weird how anything different than caucasion was "ethnic". in some areas, i feel pretty damn ethnic myself.

My biggest issue is parents saying "oh, my kid WONT eat healthy food"..... um, you feed them healthy food, and if they dont like it, too bad. unless they have a medical issue with a certain food, they should be eating what you cook them. i don't have kids but i wouldn't give them a choice in the matter.

lol, if i had a nickel for every time someone said egg yolks were bad for you...

I dont see what the big deal is. You use the gun if you need to, you dont if you don't need to. Really a win-win situation. I plan on getting my concealed carry license when I move back to the states.

what's wrong with men getting a manicure?

girlfriend, nobody told you to stuff your face, but netting 43 calories a day isn't good. it really isn't hard to eat an extra 200-300 calories of protein/fat. eat some avocados and nuts and youre done.

uhhh... eat more?

that's absolutely ridiculous, lol

not sure why people think you HAVE to eat tons of vegetables to lose weight.... calories in, calories out. you can do it with any food. but for your health, i would suggest eating steak maybe less often and replacing it with fish? or even chicken like you said. i'm just wary of the "bad fat" in some red meat i like to make…

she's complaining that someone is eating near her, something she "cant" eat. that's complaining. i agree that she needs to eat something. that's what i said before, actually. but apparently telling someone to eat doritos is "insensitive" :noway:

Good job. Let them know that even if it was a joke, they'll get in big trouble.

My boyfriends thighs are probably 17 or 18" around. He's just got skinny legs. Doesnt bug me (except that i'm jealous) ;p

if you're addicted to any food that badly - you need counseling. if youre NOT addicted to food (in your head) and your body is craving a binge, it probably means its missing out key nutrients. thats why pregnant women crave dirt and other weird things - their body is craving that mineral. alcohol is a physical addiction. i…
