My original statement was



You don't see any connection there?

Let me just say this: you have no reason to behave as though you are so intelligent and I am such an idiot. It's no more mature than "tantrum throwing".

Is a "big girl" who calls names acting like an adult?

Seriously, Get. Over. It. You are arguing just to argue.

The fact that you had to make this comment in 2 threads, is just ridiculous.

You should stop now.

I was not the one who brought it into two threads. I am not arguing, I am asking a question.

By the way, by definition it takes two to argue.

Thanks for the advice, but I can handle myself.

The fact that she acknowledged that she may have been opening a "can of worms" when she indicated that her family held a racist view only supports the fact that she knows what she said could be construed as a racist comment.

If she prefers not to engage in an interracial relationship because she finds individuals who look more like her to be more attractive, that's a preference and we all have them.

There's a difference.

I made the can of worms comment because I know that not everyone shares my opinion and I know interracial dating is a very touchy subject. That aside, you're correct in your second comment that I'm just not attracted to people outside my race, and thank you for acknowledging that preference. I didn't mean for this to turn into a heated debate!

To avoid hijacking the other thread further, I'll post this over here. LOVE, you're obviously irritated and you claim to want the arguing to stop, so rather than go back and forth on multiple threads, please consider the following.

When I stated an opinion, you came back with

Look at what I said and then look at what you said. You clearly misunderstood my comment and then you made an inflammatory remark about my relationship with my family. You've been nasty in other threads as well (again, The Term African American), so you are by no means an innocent "newbie."

If you want the big, bad GC bullies to get off your back, perhaps you should take a look in your own mirror and start from there.

Are all of you done low-jacking this thread?

If you wanna fight about race issues, take it somewhere else...can we get back to the real topic...."underage" kids and marriage...

Oh and I would like to add to the whole Kentucky...NOOOOOOOOO we are not all inbred! My family tree has MANY brances on it thank you.

I dont watch the show but after reading all of the posts, I might start. I do have a friend from HS who started dating her man when she was a freshman (we graduated in 95) they got married right out of HS they have 3 children and are still very happily married. *sigh* aint love grand!

My best friend from jr high was married before we graduated from HS, divorced that summer (I think)....married again a year later or so...again, divorced within about a year, and married a THIRD time by the time she was 22. And her mom didn't do anything to try and dissuade her from it!

I was raised knowing that after high school I was going to college, no question. If I decided I wanted to get married before I graduated, the wedding and any college thereafter was on ME, and if I wanted my parents to help pay for the wedding, it would be AFTER I had a college degree.

I think that for alot of girls who get married at 18-20 or so, they TYPICALLY (I know there are exceptions) don't have college plans after HS, so the idea of marriage after HS is fairly normal. They feel they have no reason to delay marriage, since they're going straight to working a job.
