| Considering your viewpoints, i have a hard time understanding why you insist that women should 'look and behave to some degree like ladies'. What about those of us that don't feel like ladies on the inside? Your opinion on this is exclusive. A bit paradoxical in my opinion. This could also apply to ... |

| As far as I remember (someone else already said this), he had previously only supported the idea of decriminalization of marijuana. He supported doctors medically prescribing marijuana. I don't think he's contradicted himself at all. I think a lot of the problem is that because Obama is so different... |

A psychiatrist asked about my noise sensitivity, so I mentioned an example--having to keep telling others every few minutes to put the TV on a lower volume etc.--and he said "But everyone's like that." I didn't thi... |

| I don't like it too much if people are quiet. If people do not interact, I can't tell what they're thinking. Also, they really really bore me and annoy me because they often act weird by avoiding interaction as if they're scarred or something. i can't see why avoiding interaction would be considere... |
