I was reading other storys and their comments, what I found was alot of bitterness. I ask of one thing not for me but for yourselfs,never be ashamed of who you are or what kind of blood that you have running through your vains or the color of your skin. I have the Indian blood and am Indian that I well never be ashamed of. There is a reason for why we are differnt but that makes us not less or better than anyone else, always be proud of the person you areor what nationality you are,we all have a history and should never be ashame of it, yous are all my friends and seem more like family to me. I had this on my mind and I wanted everyone to never feel bad or ashamed of you as a person, I'am proud of who I am, and I thank my mother and father for bring me into this world. I felt the need to say what I just said, and hope nobody gets mad at me for saying it, you dont know how much better I feel now.Bless all of you.

Deborah Tannen wrote a book called "The Argument Culture." It's a way of being that many modern people are taught, so their discourse is more like verbal sniping than true conversation.

I think a lot of us on propeller are ethnically mixed, especially Americans. I'm not sure what you perceive is bitterness so much as habitual one-uppance. It's part of business behavior, too, and people lock horns in their effort to climb corporate ladders. We live in a culture of competition.
And most of us came from cultures where males are given more freedom to control and women are frequently kept powerless. I know that when I was in high school, I was told to choose a career to "fall back on" when my kids entered school, while boys were encouraged to go for jobs that would allow them to be innovative, make money, etc.
Culture and belief are very slow to change.-

memestryker ; Very good comment, I also find myself locking horns, I do understand you, My frist marrige I was badly abused and he thought that what ever the man said goes, I was beat almost every day and night, staying away from my mother so she wouldn't see the black eyes and bruses all over me, fear kept me there, untell one night he walked in and I was setting on the couch with my children, he comes in picks up a lamp and holds me in the air going to strick me over the head, my oldest son was 7 years old and he got a butcher knife and throw it at his father verley missing him,so he turned on my son I took a ball bat and hit him across the back as hard as I could he was helpless at that time so I just began to fly into him, you dont touch my kids, me but not my kids.the police was called and like every time we can't get involved. that was the last time he or any man abused me,I divorced him and to this day my son well not have anything to do with him because they remember seeing all the bad things that he had done to me, there is much more but I can not say it over the internet. but I do understand, and like I said, I lock horns alot on here to. I think we all do.

orndorffter, You had an epiphany and saw clearly the right action you needed to take for the well-being of yourself and your kids. That is truly to be applauded--you didn't let the fear and intimidation drive you. I hope your son finds the opportunity to heal from such horrific experiences and make peace within himself, if not with his father.

And yes, I too purposely "lock horns" when I think it's important to do!
