I like the way Shoe0nhead expressed it: being bi just means you like guys and chicks, but it doesn't mean you can't be monogamous. A bisexual person doesn't equal the village slut, fucking everyone left and right. You can be bi and be in a relationship with a dude, but that won't turn you straight. You can be bi and be in a relationship with a chick, but that won't turn you into a lesbian.
I really don't get how this can be a difficult concept to understand for some people.

Dude I wish but I have no idea where he keeps them, if he even keeps them at all.

None of these assumptions are close, we're a standard middle class family with no worries about money. In fact if you read the post correctly, you'd know that my parents buy a lot of stuff for themselves. But I understand that one doesn't have the energy or focus to make structured arguments at 4 AM and quite frankly I didn't sleep well either tonight, so excuse my babbling.

Thanks, I'll try. I've already picked up some bad habits from them and some on my own but I try to improve every day.

Yelling isn't going to teach me anything. If anything, I would learn if my mom told me where she stands on this calmly and put forth proper reasoning and arguments. In fact, the reason why I put this up was to get multiple points of view from other people on the internet. We're all anonymous here, more or less, so people won't shy away from saying what they really think and I appreciate that. I don't seek approval, I seek debates with reasonable people. Maybe someone here would've told me that I'm wrong and say good reasons why, and I would actually change my opinion. That's how it works. You can't makeup for bad content of your speech by making it louder.

@garlog Yeah...my mom can be moody sometimes.
@yozogoggo Thanks... Yeah, I would only give money to a charity I had previously researched, because there are some charities out there that keep most of what they're given for their higher-ups.

These are actually correct, although the Lincoln one is taken out of context. He also said that if he could save the Union by freeing all the slaves, he would do it. Also if he freed only some slaves he would do it. The point is he wanted to save the Union, the slaves were an optional side quest.

I get that and I told them that I'm cool with paying rent and food but they said that I should focus on school without caring about money. Which is actually very nice of them, but that's why it seemed so weird that they would get their panties in a bunch over 20 bucks. And again, it was 20 bucks over the course of a half year. I hate shopping and I just don't buy stuff for myself very often because I don't need much so its not like I'm spending half my pay on charity, it was just 20 goddamn dollars.

Ok, storytime. In March, when I started regularly earning money (I'm also in college so the job is part time), I implemented a new policy on my life. I said to myself that I wouldn't spend that money on useless shit, and the way to really check myself is that whenever I buy something that I don't need (e.g. clothes that I bought just because they look nice, electronics...) I would give the same amount of money to charity. As you can see it worked because the only non vital thing I bought since then were headphones that were 80% off. Thus those $20. The charity would be one of my choice, and for my first time I chose UNICEF. My mom didn't only disapprove of the charity itself because "African people don't work and only want charity money, those moochers" but of the policy itself, saying I'm crazy and that I'll just lose all my hard earned money. I told her I only spent $20 bucks per a half year, but she still said I'm an idiot for doing this.

I have a job, it was my own money. I'm glad you're seeing the situation from multiple angles though, not everybody has the ability to doubt others' words without sounding accusatory.

Truer words were never spoken. These stereotypes just need to die.

I'm not bashing people for believing in stuff, I'm bashing them for mutilating their children for no other reason than their religion.
Also, to your other point about how people believed it to be healthy – that they used to believe it is excusable but as of now we have enough evidence to say that there are no health benefits (the stuff that circumcision can possibly prevent can also be prevented with good hygiene) however circumcision is still being done today. I can excuse ignorance when there isn't enough valid evidence, but right now there is, and people not caring enough to look it up and mutilating their children is inexcusable.

So in your eyes traps are more suitable than people who've gone through a sex change?

That's right, a sex change is a choice made by an adult individual that will influence only this individual's life. Circumcision is a harmful religious practice inflicted on small children by their backwards parents.

So you wouldn't date a circumcised man if you were a woman?

Don't get me wrong, I hate nagging people as much as anyone else, but the wording of this just really rubs me the wrong way.
