Not to derail the thread, but it's unfortunate when you lose a girlfriend to your best friend's girlfriend. I didn't walk in on her. I wouldn't have been invited to join in, and I wouldn't have wanted to anyway.
All yeses and proud of it. I used to live in KC too!
Biggotry is a knife that cuts both ways. Meeting the above criteria doesn't mean anything about you.
My experience is that people are people. Stop being a racist/religious-ist/sexist/politi-cist/preferencist/OS-ist. Get out and find the great things about whoever you are lucky enough to meet, no matter what they look or sound like. I have known boring people of every race, religion, gender, political party, sexual preference, and OS.
I know lots of people in KC that I can get you in contact with if you want to see your stereotype demolished.
i am desesperatly white, and my skin burn under the sun, making me looks like a lobster
i am a male
I am not a republican, a party who do not exist in my countrie. If i live in the US , i would vote more for the democrats anyway.
i own several macs, and a PC. It's the only aera where i am bi
i am not a true christian, even if my wedding was made in a church, and my daughters where baptized. i don't believe in god, but i share some values of the church, which are a part of my culture.
I am italian... so technically "white" but I am really not.
ditto as soulcrusher on the christianity part, although I DO go to a jesuit school, so I am a bit more partial to RC and the pope then a normal non-believer would be.
Male, although i like to think that I am a lesbian trapped in a man's body
I'm not affiliated with any party, but I would consider myself a conservative liberal, but some of my views are VERY left, and I could see myself voting for the green party candidate if I felt my vote would be going to the "lesser of two evils"
and yes I am 100% straight... unless I'm supposed to be a woman

Don´t understand that. is it a sexual thing (wanting to have a vagina, turned on by lesbian sex, not the ordinary way figuring yourself as the male intruder but as one on the girls/women) or do you just feel that you should have been female?
Me, I don´t understand homosexual males but do understand homosexual females. OTOH I´m for more gay men and against more lesbians for obvious reasons.

yes, noQuote:

I just like women better then men in close to every way... although, women can be whiny, backstabbing bitches tho... also it would suck to bleed for 5 days straight once a month and have to go through childbirth... I guess I was just trying to make a joke
Define ?white? (1). I do recall some impoliteness due to my appearance when visiting some parts of your fine country in the early 1960s.
I look somewhat like Osama's slightly shorter, much handsomer, and cosmopolite older brother, but I do have meaner eyes.
Quote:
Are you Christian?
No, Jewish. Not that much in the practice and faith departments though.
Quote:
Are you male?
Yes.
Quote:
Are you Republican?
I'm not American.
I lean toward the old-school social-democracy (cf. Edward Bernstein,, Pierre Mendès-France, Janusz Korczak) and old-school Labour Zionism (Joseph Trumpeldor, Haim Weizmann), with numerous caveats.
Quote:
Are you Hetero?
Yes, very much attracted to the females of the species.
Quote:
Do you own a Windows PC?
Never did, never will.

Just wondering. I live in the KC 'burbs, where EVERYONE is White, Christian, Republican, and Hetero. It gets kinda old. I miss diversity. It got me thinking: What are my pals at AI like? WHO are you?
And what is a ?KC ?burb?, might I ask?
(1) For precision's sake:
The notion of ?white? as part of one's identity, rather than just descriptive of one's appearance, is a fairly recent contraption, and one which is foreign to me.
Ancient Egyptians or Sumerians, as well as other ancient nations of the Fertile Crescent were mixed lots and did not define themselves by skin colour.
In the Middle-Ages, people in North-Western Europe were of very homogenous appearance, which caused them to invent ?whiteness? after venturing to the high seas and meeting other, more varied, people.
So, while I assume that people from England, Benelux, Scandinavia, Germany, France, or Central and Eastern Europe, are considered ?white?, I have difficulty assessing where the ?non-whites? begin, as I recall Anglo-Saxons referring to people from the Middle-East, North Africa, and even from Spain, Italy, or Greece, as ?brown? or otherwise ?non-white?.
Are you white? Yep - Irish, with a twist of English
Hey that gets the Irish in me twisted up . . . . just kidding my wife is part English . . . so my daughter... named after a James Joyce character, will be some English . . . she'll oppress herself I'm sure . . .
But I'm mostly French/America . .. actual dual citizen
Xtian? some strange thing this religion stuff . . . I would have to say that my beliefs run closer to a Meister Eckhart mysticism, or Blakean blend mixed with Hindu, Atman and Tantric Buddhism . . . salted with heavy doses of Freud/Nietzsche/Heidegger . . . and the absolute affirmative adoration of all being in its glorious divine becoming
Male? so far
Hetero? yes, but open... though I'm monogamous by choice and quite married
PC owner? HAHAHHAHAHAHA . . . no . . . though I might get one just to learn to use windows
It strikes me how most of you, proud are less proud Americans, claim to be all peoples of the rainbow. What does 'part English' mean? Look, you're American, or you're English. Or you're both, in some cases. You know I love you all, but still, this is something that never ceases to amaze me. Standing-up-straight Americans turning around and proclaiming themselves, part Hungarian, part Norwegian, part Mongolian and part Mongoloid. What is up with that? It's like you all would claim to be part Cro-Magnon. Well.
