    Girl says Florida school threatening expulsion over her ‘natural hair’

    I think this is disgusting. Why should you have to chemically treat your hair so it lies flat or blow dry it every day? Her hair looks healthy and really pretty. Perhaps people need to learn how to tolerate simple natural differences. There are different hair types even within black people; some...

    A post-patriarchal, post-feminist man

    The world is full of people who see others as inferior. I think it is good to have a reminder at times.

    What do you think is dressing modestly?

    Great point. People never seem to understand this or are willing to acknowledge this.

    Older guys and younger girls

    Why? OK. This is not to do with you personally, I merely highlighted situations where the older younger dynamic may be "problematic". I've already said my husband is much older than I am and I do not believe he did that. Even though I did marry an older guy I am still able to stand back and...

    Older guys and younger girls

    Some people regardless of the era seem to disregard Jesus's commandments on how we should treat one another instead using the bible as a tool to abuse and mistreat another. You wife whether older, younger or the same age as you is a person and deserves to be treated with as much love and respect...

    Older guys and younger girls

    I was a teen who met and eventually married a man much older than me. My husband is much older than me and we met in my late teens, he was in his thirties. He was not specifically looking for a much younger girl. I think sometimes you just connect with someone regardless of their age. Actually...

    Spanking article

    hmm maybe in certain individuals it may trigger mental illness but it might rather be that in homes where there is "spanking" maybe other negative behaviors are likely to take place? I'm not sure one can indicate direct causation. At first I didn't really see so much wrong with smacking a...

    "You can't help who you're attracted to."

    The only problem I have is that he can not see the difference between obese person and one who is not obese. You can't force people to be open minded at all. We all have features we like and yes it is shallow but I think that is the way it is. I will say one thing though... people can limit...

    "You can't help who you're attracted to."

    Like I said... I'm harsh so I really don't blame you. When you decide on a partner in a way you are deciding how you want your life to run. I've known a few guys who have chosen girls entirely based on looks and sometimes you get someone who is not suited to you at all. I can offer no sympathy...

    "You can't help who you're attracted to."

    Noooo! I'm a TNG Star Trek fan but just nooo. He should be untouchable. It just isn't right :P.

    "You can't help who you're attracted to."

    I'm rather harsh with this but if someone picks somebody just because they look good despite some serious flaws I find it hard to give them any sympathy when they complain or even divorce about the said flaws. Generally you are drawn by looks but I'd like to think humans had a bit more...

    modesty - again

    A great example which is why one must first strive to be modest in spirit. It will reflect in your whole life though to be certain it may not meet all your criteria. There are clothes I consider to be inappropriate due to length, fit, type whatever but I don't expect others to always see that...

    modesty - again

    I am glad you said this. Iy is exactly what I think and to be honest I'll go against the grain and say I think modesty has very little to do with your clothes. To be honest we wear clothes to fit in with our culture and to avoid making others "stumble" if possible. I'm not sure how much that has...

    modesty - again

    On the other hand I think wanting to escape makes you think about why you are doing something and makes you stop doing things that make no sense. My particular church had such a skewed notion of modesty... I actually think dressing in a completely different manner would be more modest. Also they...

    modesty - again

    This sounds somewhat like the church of my childhood. I'd say having strong parents who were not afraid of discussing with us things they didn't agree with helped me NOT to developed some of the issues mentioned. I remember once we were trying to do a fundraising event where the "youth" had...

    modesty - again

    Having been brought up in a Pentecostal denomination I have an entirely different opinion about the dress sense and that it is forced on people or maybe I should say just women. The worst thing was that some of it just was not thought out enough... regardless I was happy to escape that.
