There is some strife, but for the most part a Christian can live next to a Jew who can live next to a Muslim who can live next to an atheist- and none of them get in physical altercations. Some people define themselves by their spiritual path and some by their material success and status, but again there is a certain live and let live mentality in the West about such things. Western culture, I believe, is defined by tolerance. That is not to state that every person in the West is tolerant or that other cultures are inferior (tolerance is only one of many virtues), but that is a good start to understanding the West.
I don't know where Political lives, but I sense that the tolerance you speak of, he may not see.
He lives somewhere in the Islamic world. I thought that it might be helpful to him to learn about tolerance.

You know, that photograph of Marlene Dietrich is so enchanting I'd make it my desktop background, but then my parents would see it and I'd be in big trouble. They are even more Puritanical than I am. Yes, stekim, that is possible (he was skeptical).

Default Hello, heikstheo!

How has your distance learning been going? Have you changed at all politically (I certainly have), or are you still a left-libertarian?

I don't know who Katie Fey is, but Jennifer Love Hewitt seems a bit hyperactive, so I'd definitely prefer meeting Angelina Jolie (and I'm something of a fan of Angelina Jolie). Brad Pitt would certainly have nothing to be jealous about, though.

After doing a text (not an image) search for Katie Fey, I am very proud that I hadn't heard of her.

Please, clue me in too, brother... and I live here!

Any "culture" that can convince the likes of Jennifer Connlley that she should "reduce" her fine shapely self... I have issues with. Serious, hard issues!

Force, you wanna talk about intelligence, this girl is scary smart. In a league with the best of what's here, from what I've read. But even she's bought into the "Western ideal" of slim hips and a "tasteful/civilized shaped" bosom. That's one thing I like about Latinas... they still value el culo grande! Viva mia Latinas!

Anorexia is a serious problem, mainly among women. The male equivalent is steroids use. A successful model who isn't a stick would be a much-needed role model for teenage girls. First, looks are superficial and ultimately don't matter at all. Second, very thin women don't even look good. In my teens, I had a bit of a crush on Hillary Duff (laugh if you want). She was beautiful and very charming. Now, though, I just feel so sorry for her. If you've seen how thin she has become, you know why.

Well, I dropped out of my distance learning program I was working on last summer and I've not yet renewed my efforts. I think I'm still a ticked-off left-winger.
