This is something I've thought about a lot, so I'll try to keep it short. Race is a product of socialization. The attraction of one person to the features of another is also heavily socialized. The changing image of the "beautiful" person even within the last 50 years is strong evidence for this. Another example is the number of people on this thread stating their attraction to Asian persons. The exposure to Asian culture has thoroughly affected many of us in this way. I personally would like to dismiss the idea of race in regards to dating, however that can be a difficult task. The most common response here appears to be that race doesn't matter, or a preference to Caucasian or Asian. I find it interesting that no one has specifically stated an attraction to black persons, and Tiger Festival denied this (Be assured, I'm not criticizing you...).

An interesting story but was just another piece of the Cold War era and a sign of the times. No different than Raegan's "Star Wars" ICBM defense network in the 80's.

I named my Buick Alucard because nothing can kill it. I have also decided that when I eventually get myself a classic Ford Mustang (the only Ford I will ever own) and plan to name it Roy. Of course I am a car junkie, or rather a gear head so I will always name my cars.

Is anybody going? I have been talking to this kingdom hearts cosplay group and some friends and was wondering who is going to show up from here. Would love to meet new people and make friends. I will be cosplaying Xigbar from KH and the 12th diary holder from Mirai Nikki

Thank you and yeah i was cosplaying Xigbar from Kingdom Hearts!! I need to work on the guns XD

Yea besides that I guess the scene from Toy Story 3 where Andy gives up Woody and the gang to the little girl also made me close to shedding a tear

Either Canal (Lost Universe) or Lime (Saber Marionette J). I would try to hug Canal and cuddle with her loveliness OR Lime and I would give each other hugs and play with her. I don't care if Lime breaks my back with her hugs, she is too nice for me to care. *Glomp*
