I'm Living in the 80's

what's your policy on rebounds? how long do you think it should take from one relationship to the next, and why?

-Ryan


In truth, this is a very hard question to answer. It depends on person to person really. If your urge is to screw the next person you see, then there it is. But really, you've got to ask yourself: is it for the best? Probably not. And if you ever hope to reconcile: JUST SAY NO. Even if that person loves you, something will be tainted about you if they find out that you screwed someone the night after you guys broke up.

But, on the other hand, if you never want to see your ex again? Then...it just depends. Figure out what you want. If you want a one night stand, remember the consequences. If you want a new relationship, remember your dirty laundry still hasn't been washed (most likely, anyway).

Why do so many people idolize the "white trash", "redneck", or "ghetto" lifestyle that is see in popular culture? They originally started out as derogatory terms, and now it's a mark of pride. Why is it so cool to be trashy?

-Samina


In my opinion, it has something to do with being tough. Both cultures have tribal tendencies. You're in with a herd. And it makes you feel tough. And acting that way makes you feel tough too. Also, believe it or not, some people really find acting in those manners/dressing in those ways attractive. Why, I can't say. I think it's just like a learned mannerism.

Also, they've done studies that say the females in those demographics are targeted by tobacco companies, because they're allegedly stupid. Now, girls should ask themselves...if you're targeted because you're believed to be stupid...try to do something positive. Everyone's entitled to certain tastes. You can be country or ethnic without being trashy. People do it all the time. But really, I think the trashy ones just do it to be cool/tough.

That's my opinion anwyays.

why are spongues more amazing than Ashe?

-Ashe


They're not. Whoever said they were was an outright liar and I will call them one to their face. Dammit.

When will this 80s revival end? I'm sick of big hair, neon shirts, and plastic jewelry.

Whilst I think it's a noble fashion effort to pay homage to your birth decade, you can very well go too far. Hence Heidi Montag's (I barely know who she is, but I've watched it) music video. Barf. That is pretty much as far as you can take it before someone rips your spiked heels of your feet and stabs you in the eyes with them.

Dear Pocahontas,

Last night, I had a dream that I was an apple and someone was eating me. What's your take on this?

-Persian Al


It's obviously sexually related. Apples signify the forbidden. Did you wake up all wet this morning?
