After he asked if I'd like to go to his house I was very disappointed and let down. We had discussed moral issues previously and he knew that I do not engage in casual sex. My interpretation is that the guy just wanted to get laid. I said something along the kines of "Perhaps some other time in the future, but not tonight."

"I just want you to know that I didn't have intentions of anything romantic taking place." I didn't respond to that and I changed the conversation.

I would rather people were influenced by Oprah's "flaky, new-age ideas" than a modern-day Hitler espousing racial hatred.

I wanted to like Oprah but the bottom line for alot of people including myself is we feel that she influenced thousands of people with a New Age agenda that is just wrong. She had an internet course with an author from her book club named Eckhart Tolle who teaches false doctrine. The fact that she appears to be one way but then can influence people in a certain direction because of it is dangerous.

By trashy I mean lower income people who don't like paying for things while exploiting waitstaff, running them, and trying to sabotage the dining experience in hopes of being comped.

No, not really. I normally tip 20-30% when I go out if service is good. 15% is the MINIMUM that one should leave behind to make sure that the waiter is duly compensated. However, people would stop leaving tips at all a lot of the time even when the service was exceptional if gratuity is included in the menu pricing. Thus, I think 20-25% would give waiters/waitresses the amount of money they currently recieve. We don't want to cut the nose off to spite the face here.

Absolutely correct. Working in Europe, I know that mobbing, in schools and in the workplace, is something recognized and dealt with.

Here's the thing, guy: You went out with someone you disliked intensely, and even disapproved of, in the hope of having sex. Lame.

So first date is nice, we meet, eat (she's a vegetarian, not a problem though)

Then the bomb shell.She's an atheist. Now all of the sudden I have this image of heads in her refrigerator and one of them is mine. Almost choked on my beer. Now she is more drunk then I so I am giving her some slack on what's rolling out of her filthy mouth as the night goes on.

Then it's," your not my type, i don't see guys like you, your not smart enough for me". Ok so we got uncaring, unholy and degrading. AWESOME!

Sorry to be so blunt here but I only remember 1 woman that didnt shave, but after I mentioned it she did.... Most women have gotten with the times..

Right now, the entire debate going on assumes employers will continue to be allowed to treat a worker's hours as though the worker will never age, never need to stop working. That is how we are paid today. Foreign competition with nations with totally different systems of pay and totally different expectations of quality of living are allowed to determine how low employers are allowed to pay us. All economic calculations within a private company are based on the assumption that one worker hour is the same as another, and that once the worker is no longer required, or no longer able to work, he becomes SOMEONE ELSE's financial responsibility. There is no recognition that as you use a workers hours, you use up their LIFE.

I water-boarded him. What else?

This would be wrong/false. Pubic hair has a function. It contains/concentrates pheramones/scents. It acts like a cushion during sex. It protects delicate tissues from irritation by clothing. Absorbs and distributes moisture.

.while i agree that servers in restraunts should be paid better it is the responsability of their employers and not me..or perhaps government to hold them accountable to he minimum wage laws..

To be honest with you, my first firing over sexual harassment was a woman.

No conversatioin, no discussion. End of story.

Friends and fans from the Hollywood film circle have been campaigning to prevent Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski being extradited to the US.

The 76-year-old's actress wife, 43-year-old, Emanuelle Seigner has started up a petition calling for the release of Roman, who is currently being held in a Switzerland prison.

She is hoping the addition of A-list signatures will help the case.

Emanuelle is good friends with Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, wife of French president Nicolas who is backing the director and says he would like to see "a quick resolution to the situation".

She has also drawn support from film-makers including Pedro Almodovar and Stephen Frears with actress Deborah Winger saying, "We hope this latest order will be dropped."

I dont think he should get a long sentance .....

He was the one that got robbed, you should be allowed too do whatever it takes too secure yourself.....I mean like who says if he didnt shoot them that they wouldnt of shot him?

you should be allowed too do whatever it takes too secure yourself.

I dont think he should get a long sentance(sic) .....

I have even dated women that didn't even shave legs or pits and I could have cared less, they were European.

.we already have enough condescending holier than thou types who question people's "humanity" everytime somebody doesn't want to grab their ankles for somebody elses's moral imperative.

I always convert them. They're clean shaven when I meet them. They're jungle cats by the time we break up.

People work in the hospitality industry at their own volition and are governed by the Australian Fair Pay and Conditions Standard. The Standard contains five minimum conditions of employment that are legally binding on all employers.

But if people in the US are working as waiters/waitresses at only $2.50 per hour then that speaks volumes about your system and disregard of workers at the lower rungs.

when some insane or extremist person who is a Muslim and says he is acting as a Muslim does something heinous, the entire Islamic population of the US becomes the target of abuse and antagonism, ordinary, innocent people. Yes, it is a hate crime.

Unless you have a company policy of "no sleeping with co-workers / only meaningful relationships," then this implies a personal agenda here.

I myself wouldn't mind having a blowjob buddy. Now calling her anytime during the day and then having her come over at a moments notice for my pleasure...would be so awesome..lol

P.S. If it was a woman talking about a man like that it should've made you smile... :)

BTW, her use of I'm Every Woman, she's related to Whitney Huston and promoted that song along with Whitney some years ago. I don't think they are close, but she did not hijack the song. LOL

Ah yes, but do we have a life?

IMO...your career is your field of work.

Your job is where you are doing it at.

I've had some strange things happen in my life which seem rather coincidental. Anyway I'm wondering what your point of view is.... do you believe coincidences happen for a reason, or do you think things just happen without there being any meaning to it?

I tend to smile with my eyes these days..

My mother always says if people are talking about you, it means you're interesting.
So there!!

Why do men think that women are much more beautiful with their clothes off ? Don't they see all the imperfections?

I have tried to discuss this with family and close friends, but ended up bombarded by everyone from my mother in law from from the teacher to her estranged bio-father on how im poisioning her by telling her it is ok tio be an atheist.

wonderful. don't be electing them presidents who read them books and stuff.

Get over it boys......some of us women find mature men sexy.
It has nothing to do with money.....and everything to do with confidence, experience

no sweetie, you have inside information.

I'm being completely honest with these next words.........SOME GUYS ARE COMPLETE UTTERLY DISGUSTING BEASTS CAPABLE OF NOTHING MORE THAN PERVERTED COMMUNICATIONS.

He has many great traits, funny, makes me laugh, is fun to be with, is a great cook and helped me with the move as much as possible. He is cute and intelligent and witty.

Men don't need to wear make-up or worry about laugh lines and crow's feet. That doesn't mean they don't need to take care of themselves to look good: good health habits tend to help keep a person looking attractive, fit, etc., but culturally men are allowed to age in a way that women aren't.

People like Palin because unlike Obama she is a great Orator who actually cares about things and shows emotion..

The problem with that interview and her remarks, in my opinion, was that Palin wanted Americans to believe that she had foreign affairs experience based on the proximity of Alaska and Russia. No matter how great she looked in a skirt, she just didn't have the sophistication required for the office she sought.

Sometimes, when we hang out, he asks me to "get him off" (with my hand).

It's hilarious how only a few in this thread understood the topic.

but most of the time I feel guilt or dirty RIGHT AFTER HAVING AN ORGASM[/quate]
Raised a Catholic perhaps?

no, kissing like that is a lot more intimate to me than sex..
