More polarizing by small minded conservatives. Wouldn't it be nice if both sides stopped judging the other and let everyone live in peace ... with equal rights and opportunities.
@2--It would be so nice, but due to one groups insistence of treating everybody equal and the other groups insistence on not treating people equally, it probably won't happen. Unfortunately, those "group two" people have no desire to change at all and do not listen or respond to reasonable arguments. (Example: at my midwest med school, the "pro-life" group hears the argument that making abortions illegal does not reduce the number, only increases the number of unsafe, back-ally abortions and dead mothers, only to respond by calling people baby killers)
I think it's broken. I told it I was looking for men, but it just showed me a bunch of straight guys. Anyone know the number for tech suppor....oh, they're farmers. Right...
In the interest of "taking one for the team," I read Backyard Buzz: It is the testimonials section. Lots of "soul mates," "the good Lord," and "country girl at heart" chat, but what was most interesting (well, aside from the fact that I just wasted 10 minutes reading it) is that in every case where there was geographical separation, the woman moved to where the man lived so they could be together. But then, I guess that's "traditional," eh?
@8--Duh, women are supposed to be in the kitchen and make babies. They don't need their current jobs in their current cities for that, they need to be with their man and he can't move
@6 We have a Gay Rodeo every summer near Calgary (I am planning on going next summer, as I am not convinced it is possible to be gay AND wear a bolo tie and a belt buckle the size of a hubcap---I thought those atrocities were the sole domain and creation of straight men with no taste), but possibly one of them could be the hayseed of your dreams??
@4 - i find it depressing that there are "pro-life" med students in 2010. I guess I thought people smart enuff to get into med school would be smart enuff not to buy into religious b.s. How dumb of me.
Man, I grew up in Northeastern farm country, and people did know the meaning of "Southern Hospitality." It means a knife in the back. Even the people who had Confederate Flags on their trucks hated Southerners (just not as much as they loved racism.) Maybe things have changed.
I do feel like city people don't usually understand some things about me (like how stressful crowds are and not speaking to anyone for 48 hours is normal to me), but I'll be damned if it means I have to date republicans.
@14 Then you will have to attend a performance of the Vertigo Mystery Theatre in Calgary, and gaze upon the theatre director in his Levi's 501s that appear to not only have been painted on, but filled with some sort of zucchini or spaghetti squash...
@17: Well, they sure couldnt' specify that they meant lattes or cappuccinos -- you know, "fancy" coffee -- because using foreign terms is probably kind of gay. Or French.
So America's vast tracts of suburbia just don't count for anything? Or are we piled in under the first group, despite not having any of the benefits of urban living? I could kill for some decent taxi service out here.
They also have the "good old fashioned traditional values" of divorcing at a higher rate than city-folk and fucking more sheep.

I guess brown people need not apply.

I can't imagine living in a world so small you could say in seriousness: "There are basically two groups in America."
