Not sure if this fits in here but someone brought up antigay movements.

Is it gay for a guy to hug another guy? I have nothing against it. SOme of my friends are so insecure with themselves that they say that it is gay and won't even think of it. I am secure with my sexuality, and am not afraid to act gay. Typhoid knows what I mean.

No, it is not "gay." A hug between a guy and a girl doesn't mean they have sexual relations, or even that they want to. Hugging is just a way to express friendship. People not hugging other people because they are afraid of being "gay," (like individual actions will actually affect your sexual preference) is one of those things that reall, really, really annoy me.

Although avoiding hugging other people for other reasons (like an aversion to physical contact in general) is fine.

I don't like people that wear the Livestrong bracelets because I'm assuming most of them are just wearing them to be cool since so many other people are wearing them.



Industry watchers say most consumers don't know the bracelet is part of the Nike sneaker giant's branding mechanism and that's exactly why the concept has been so successful.

LiveStrong bracelets are rubber bracelets made by Nike. It's supposed to be for some cancer society and Lance Armstrong is involved in the project.

Here are some links:

Just fake people and haters.

Is it cool to be someone different now? Is it cool to hate everyone else? The people here are weird

Oh yeah, and another thing... This whole "Synthetic" deal...

Look around internet communities (livejournal, myspace, what have you) and you'll find bajllions of them (half the time with "synthetic" somewhere in their name... "SytheticBeauty" and such)...

People who wear fake colorful hair extensions and paint themselves up to look like some sort of friggin alien...

Example

I guess it's more or less sorta goth/raverish, but don't tell them that, they're more unique than those subcultures and can't be classified...

Okay... that's freaky. When you said 'synthetic' I was thinking "oOo... Fake boobies!" Whoops.
