When people focus on their own business(or job) there's no issues & we can get

I love their nuggets, too (all dark meat, & a good price, even in Canada; even
though they just went up $1, are still cheaper than McD's all white meat crap
nuggets)

I'd've been cheeky & replied, "If that's a problem you can always fix it!"

Not necessarily meaning it, but going for the laugh. . .

I just don't se the big deal with skin colour -- I don't care what colour coats
you wear, so why the skin?  It's all just covering for the soul.

You don't "have a soul"; you ARE a soul; what you HAVE is a body.

Waiting for the news story of a terrible new STD nicjnamed Thunderclap!:( 

Still wouldn't affect or cause fear in me! & no, I don't use condoms if I don't
want to, or if my partner doesn't want me to.

I've always advised: If you're afraid/untrusting to contact without a conndom,
you prolly shouldn't be contacting at all.

There's a reason they can't legally call it safe sex any more & they say
"safer" sex instead.  Hmmph, if it ain't 100% safer, it ain't safe enough for
me.
