Yes. I do know families who are like that.

But it's not really because of racism (strictly).

They are kinda like the Japanese. They believe in the purity of their lineage; culture, language and religion. From an anthropological point of view, I can't feel negative about their preferences. Historically, this is how cultures have been formed, endured and survived to this day.

Anyway, to each his own. As long as they don't promote these ideas boldly and loudly so as to undermine interracial dating and marriage or something that crosses a legal boundary, I'm ok with that.

I can't judge them any more than they can judge others.

"Ladies don't start fights, but they can finish them." -Marie, Aristocats

Hmm....hard to say.

I grew up with a big family; 4 siblings with mum and dad.

Right now, I live alone and I love the independence. However I do miss living with my parents at times; my mum's cooking and great conversations with my dad. I miss waking up to a noisy home; always lively with buzzing activity and idle chatter! Also, I just miss being in that cocoon of protection and comfort. Reminiscing on how childhood life is; where there's no future but the afternoon. :))

Buuuuut.

I like my independence. When you live under your parents' roof, you must abide by their rules. You also can't show any form of aggression or sarcasm. By being under their roof, you basically revert back into a child. Different opinions will clash; discussions on how things are/should be managed at home can turn into an argument. And parents can be overbearing at times. They tend to lecture and sometimes pry into your personal and professional life which you may not be ready for (especially after a stressful day at work).

The opposite is also true. Living with loved ones can provide you the emotional support that everyone needs from time to time. You may gain some insight on how life is and how you'd want to live it from listening to there words of wisdom or just by idly chatting with them.

For me, though, I'd visit often and probably spend a weekend or two at their place, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Hmm...the menu here seems to differ from yours over there.

Whats differed about it?

We have a Big Breakfast that includes scrambled eggs, toasted bun and patty, hash brown and jam.

We also have the Wrap with grilled Halloumi cheese.

We don't have the parfait, bacon or the burrito .

:((( Seems that we're missing out.

I don't think it's got to do with them being Liberals.

Just good conduct, proper upbringing with good familial values are enough.

Being white in the Middle East in the 1980s, I was considered the minority. I've never experienced a stigma or prejudice growing up. If anything, I've only experienced prejudice from other whites during High School as I read, wrote and spoke Arabic and exhibited Arabic-ish values and conservative mannerisms.

That's just wrong. Totally unacceptable behaviour.

There was no need for that woman to prattle on about homosexuality and its lifestyle being unacceptable. Her personal feelings on the matter wasn't necessary. If she didn't want to work with her, just cancel the request. There was no need for such crude remarks.

This kind of people are cowards.

They have no spine. They kill those who can't defend themselves.

They think life is hard? Work is hard? They have no idea what true suffering is. They take everything that THEY DO HAVE for granted.

If they want to end their lives, it's their decision but to bring innocents with them? That's just unforgivable.

MW is not popular here. Mayo still dominates. I myself have never tasted MW; frankly because I've never heard of it until now. It's always mayo and its different types that litter the shelves and the aisles.

So Mayo for me by default.

"Ladies don't start fights, but they can finish them." -Marie, Aristocats

Personally, I can relate to this option.

I've played FF4, FF7-10, FF13, 13-2, LR and Tactics but skipped some of them. And the reasons are varied.

There are some games that I intentionally left out (FF11 and FF 12. Didn't care for their battle system)

Some games I didn't get the chance to play when the interest was there; time constraint and I didn't buy the game at that time.

Nowadays, time is something I hardly have. So I don't want to invest my time in a game that I may not like. So it's either I research a bit if I really want to try it out or skip it completely.

I've been noticing this a lot lately myself. Don't really know why people make this mistake; perhaps autocorrect and their hurry to post things without proofreading first.

"Ladies don't start fights, but they can finish them." -Marie, Aristocats

If a person is wrong and doesn't admit it, it really doesn't matter in the greater scheme of things. It won't change the knowledge you have, your opinions or beliefs.

Why is there a need to subjugate him and parade his mistake? Why is there a profound desire to see another grovel for erring?

I was baptised as an infant. But....I don't think it's anything to be proud of. I'm not ashamed either. ;)

Baptism is a Sacrament; it was a sacred and special event for me and my family for sure. But I don't attach any other feeling towards that other than gratitude and silent and private happiness.

"Ladies don't start fights, but they can finish them." -Marie, Aristocats

I don't think the word "date" to mean exactly that. Parents use this word as a playful word; as if their child was a grown up. And children love to be fawned over; they like being told that they're on their way to being grown up; ready to take on responsibility, protect and cherish mum and his sisters etc etc.

I enjoyed Crispin Freeman as Albedo, though the scene itself might have alot to do with that.

Don't know if he is my favorite VA though, but his performance is more memorable to me than others on the list. Though Hayter, and Langdon come close, mostly for me being a big fan of both series.

I was going say this too.

Hm....on the surface it's easy to say yes; good-looking people have advantages. But on the other hand, there are cases wherein beautiful girls or women have been a target of abuse because they stand out.

Beautiful people born from impoverished places can be targets for abuse; simply because they catch the eye of the wrong people. And they have no means to resist or assert themselves.

So I can guess having beauty has duality in effect; like everything else. It can be a blessing or a curse; sometimes both.

Being alive (because the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away)
My family (can't stress this enough)
My and my family's health
My closest friends
This beautiful world we live in: It's not perfect but we do the best we can
Blessings we receive that make our lives easier and convenient (job, cars, investments, savings...having the means for leisure and some luxury)
Trials: I'm also thankful for the stress and hardships that come along. These build character and strengthen one's faith. So far, I've overcome trials that came my way and hope that I will continue to do so in the future
