The Harder Question: You meet someone to whom you’re highly attracted. You all really hit it off and begin to date exclusively.

After several months, you express to your significant other that you’d like to take your relationship to a sexual level.

If your significant other is a woman, she tells you that she battled breast cancer and won but lost both breasts to a double mastectomy. If your significant other is a man, he tells you that he fought prostate cancer and won but he’s unable to sustain an erection and none of the alternative treatments have been successful.

How does this new information affect the way you feel about your significant other?

My Ultimatum of the Day: You’re allergic to chocolate and all kinds of fruit. Researchers have developed shots that will alleviate your allergy to both. The issue is that you can only take one shot or the other. No one can take both, and you can’t take one now and one later. This is a forever choice. Which do you choose?

My Question of the Day: Are Americans “snobs” when it comes to what they perceive as “the right” lifestyle and/or culture?

My 2 Cents: I don’t know if I’d called American “snobs” about what they perceive as “the right” lifestyle and/or culture, but I will say that we seem to think other countries should do things our way.

If the steering wheel is on the opposite side of a car than that to which we are accustomed, we say it’s on the “wrong side.”

Wherever many of us go outside the U.S., we expect that there’s somebody who speaks English, and we search out these people rather than attempt to learn another language.

Many of us think everybody wants to live in America because of our lifestyle and/or culture, which I don’t believe is true. I’d assert that others want to come to America for the educational and/or financial opportunities, but they don’t necessarily want to assimilate into the American lifestyle and/or culture. That’s why people can live here for over 40 years and never lose their accent or the customs of their birthplaces. That’s why we have communities within communities here. Not everyone buys into the “American Dream,” even if they do want to take advantage of the opportunities.

This, however, may not be exclusive to America. Maybe in other countries, they think about their lifestyle and/or culture just as many Americans. It could just be patriotism and pride, not conceit and arrogance.

JoshDamage idk if they are snobs but they certainly don’t appreciate living in a democracy
