People cutting down southerners

bicklelady @bicklelady (1404) • United States 17 Mar 07

I was on a discussion and was reading what other people wrote. They was calling southern people hillbillies. That makes me so mad. What makes people that probably never even been in the south, call another person a hillbillies. I...

ljames I think the south is as diverse as anywhere else. I was born a 'yankee", but I lived in Arkansas for 7 years. I met and married a wonderful southern gentleman while I was there. The south does have some friendly people, and some hillbillies, also some...

ljames Well, I think they are both to blame. Sometimes a man lies and says he is single, so that makes it hard to blame her. If she knowingly involves herself with a taken man, then hopefully they both get what they deserve. Personally, I think that a woman who tries...

Circumcision - NOT ABUSE!

Foxxee @Foxxee (3651) • United States 16 Mar 07

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of reading about circumcision on infant boys being abusive. I honestly don't see a problem with it. I don't think it's mutilation like some say it is. I mean isn't the meaning of mutilation...

Does Childbirth Hurt?

icemaldita @icemaldita (325) • Philippines 16 Mar 07

Pregnancy and childbirth! One word -OUCH! If you are pregnant and expecting your first child, don't believe anyone that says it won't hurt - it will. But there is an upside. There is a point in labour when the pain is actually...

ljames As far as i can remember, childbirth hurts a lot. When I was in labor with my first, my mother and mother in law kept telling me that I would "forget" the pain. They were just trying to help me through it, but they were wrong! It was hard and very painful, but...

Do you ever sit with your teeth gritted, on edge because of a simple cartoon?

tanniebabe78 @tanniebabe78 (2934) • United States 15 Mar 07

I have a few that just bug me to no end! I just don't understand where it comes from. We have one called Backyardagins. The premise would be cute, if the characters weren't so annoying. I sit here trying to work and concentrate...

ljames I don't really like Backyardigans either, but my 3 year old loves them! I let him watch, and try to tune it out. Although they seem harmless, what is the benefit to kids? I just don't see it.

Willow

ljames @ljames (30) • United States 15 Mar 07

I think that Willow is such a loser. She's like a re-make of Nicole, only more pathetic! I realize they need some villans, but I wish she would just go away like Nicole did. Am I being to harsh, or does anyone agree with me?

ljames I can't speak for all men, but experience with my husband has taught me that sometimes, when a man says he is sorry, it really is the end of it for him. It is hard for them to let a woman vent, because in their minds, if they apologize sincerely, then that is...

Did your parents make mistakes when raising you?

awonderfullife @awonderfullife (2893) • United States 12 Feb 07
