Hi all. This will be another thread in which I criticize the left a bit. Let's talk about affirmative action. I totally understand why affirmative action exists. Some women and minorities are dirt poor and that sucks. Here's the thing: What if America had a proper social safety net? Would affirmati... |

Affirmative action , also known as reservation in India and Nepal, positive action in the UK, and employment equity (in a narrower context) in Canada and South Africa, is the policy protecting members of a disadvantaged group who suffer or have suffered from discrimination within a culture.[1][2][3... |

BTW, where have you been all my life? :wink: If that's a compliment of my analysis of the political landscape I'll say that it took me long enough to figure out where I stand and gain a proper understanding of both sides of the political spectrum so I could verify that there are people on both side... |

Truthfully, while I think people can transcend social conditioning by getting away from other people and staking out their own space to think, I'm less sure that people can really overcome biological limitations to their own intellect or mental health. Sup, dude... Bret Weinstein talks about the fl... |

I can just imagine the reaction if Janet Jackson had g*p*d herself instead of flashing a little t*t. :o 8O :o I think that is very, very, very naughty but I can't be sure... 8O If it is what I think it is, it ain't for public discussion... 8O If it is, shame on you... :shameonyou: If it isn't...as ... |

I like a nice set of knockers. In fact, I like my set and if they offend anybody then it's their problem not mine. By the same token, if someone appreciates mine then I'm not going to complain. If I put it on show I can't expect people to avoid looking. What sometimes happens, however, is that a wo... |

TBH I think female nipples are incredibly ugly. Sticking out like a couple of cancerous growths, with the skin around them all wrinkly and pimply-looking. Seeing them showing through a top or bathing suit is humiliating and looks disgusting. I even once heard that some women are having their nipple... |

Of course, we, in the West, generally believe that Islamic warriors are always fighting because of Islam. In other words, we are willing to believe that our soldiers are complex and yet we are unwilling to see the same complexity in Middle Eastern men. That's dehumanisation if you ask me. Are you s... |

I wonder what would happen if I got turned on by someone's femininity----but the person turned out to be a man! I certainly wouldn't get angry at the person. But I don't know what I would do. There was a movie about that, I think it was called "The Crying Game." He was still a male in ter... |
