You are not racist for noticing things or expecting things and finding it may not be the case. That is NOT in any way what racism is. |

I find socializing much easier when I wear female clothes. I have a small petite hourglass figure. When I wore male clothes folks would have difficulty figuring out my gender. I'm sure it would help to be taller and gain weight, but the doctors don't have any practical way of fixing that. Just out ... |

Apologize for not replying if anyone expected a reply. Had other things happening and then I wasn't paying attention to the 15% battery warning and my tablet went to 0% while I was on the phone. Wondered why it went off! Had to wait for it to charge enough to turn it on but by then I had lost my tra... |

It's still a struggle for me. I've had a life (at times) of being made fun, getting yelled at, corrected, and everything I seemed to do was wrong. At 44 it's gotten better but I still have my walls up so to speak, as more of a defense mechanism. In a Nutshell I was taught how to mask, without even ... |

For years I was always trying my best to fit in and failing miserably. I was trying to be the person others wanted me to be when it was like trying to fit a round peg into a square hole! It took me three or four decades to say to myself "Stuff this! I am going to be me, and if you don't like it... |

Also I will say that right and left are not in the same places in the USA as they are in the UK. European countries also differ slightly. This has brought much confusion on discussing politics between us because I could say right where to you it could be left and vice versa. It is not as simple as l... |

Is one aspect where communism differs from the west. Exercising ones right is a choice in the west. In communistic countries it is compulsory. I'm not sure there's any truth to that. Marxist dictatorships tended to deny certain rights, meanwhile we're discussing two philosophies that exist within w... |

In Australia they don't have the right to not vote. That is a strange one. Kinda close to a Comministic approach. It's the idea that participating in the democratic process isn't merely a right, it's a responsibility. But maybe making people take responsibility is communism? Is one aspect where com... |

I happen to think that a lot of young people are pretty switched on where politics are concerned A few are. Others are easily prey to press manipulation. So are older people, as demonstrated by the people who voted for Brexit or Donald Trump. Why do you think Brexit voters were manipulated because ... |

Do you think that one day your democratic right not to vote will be taken away I'm not going to vote again until i think the world has settled down enough for me to properly see the political landscape again No one should be forced to vote, in the same way that no one has the right to prevent anyon... |
