RE: Why is a second hand called a second hand when really it's the third hand?

Because it times the seconds.. so its the second hand..???

RE: Political Correctness

It is not OK... to say derogatory things.. about a group of people who are different ...

but appraising everyone individually is OK...

Its OK to have a fear of being politically incorrect.. because that is what prevents people from being abusive towards another for no good reason.. well, that is sorta the reason it started..

but , I agree with Tomcats post... It's all gone way too far..

and these days its easier to evade people.. and avoid situations..

which doesn't really solve much...

but it keeps us alienated... which is also OK.. because from our personal learned behaviour, education status, etc.. it gives us time to come to terms with how much we each want to contribute to ourselves.. in our own good time... in opening up our minds to accept differences..

However... conversing here...on this Inters forum... gives a measure of insight from posts, stories, and the political threads and comments..for all of us..

These are (JMO) small ways to start a beginning of knowing each other... and these small steps may lead to a widening experience of losing fear of unknown..

But, When you bunch a whole heap of people together who share very dissimilar ideas, around how one should or not live, behave, eat, all aspects of religion and politics and all those things that make us culturally different.. .. there will/should be lots of personal comparisons... until within a person, the middle ground is reached...

RE: Which country produces the best male lovers?

Clearly not.. or there would be so many comments ... starting with..

I don't want anything to do with men who are allowed to have 2 wives, and believe girls do not need an education..

Don't think much about the love life either...

Marrying as soon as puberty hits.. is not testimony to a good lover... Jeez.

RE: Which country produces the best male lovers?

The second video.. was interesting...I saw so much in this video that I truly cannot get my thoughts in any sequence to comment..

I think this is really worth a comment or two...
