how do you make your hair stand up like that?

[stingva22]

@pitigam LOL. I normally don't have my hair like that. I just had it cut the day I made this, my hair is actually really curly. But, to answer your question, the lady used a tong thingy that works like an curling iron to straighten it out, then just kept blowing it up and spraying it with hairspray.

I sort of feel like an old timey segregationist when I say it that way.

Maybe there's an even simpler way to put it.

We should embrace the world. We should let ourselves fall in love. And when we finally find someone who deserve all the love we have to give and who loves us back the way we deserve to be loved . . .

that's the person we should be with.

What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder . . .

to coin a phrase.

Marriage, ideally, lasts a very, very, very long time. It doesn't make any sense to spend all those years being miserable just to please your parents.

I am not saying that gays should never marry straights because that would be me imposing my ideas on other people. Love is far beyond any of our comprehension and all kinds of "impossible" matches happen every day.

ORDINARILY, though, everyone is infinitely happier when gays marry gays and straights marry straights.

@jenna120s

Gay men have been forcing themselves to marry women for hundreds of years. The result is unhappiness, divorce, or sometimes even adultery.

It's time to end all of that absurdity.

A man should explore the world, explore himself, be kind to everyone, but, ultimately, he should fall in love with the man or woman that he is truly in love with, not someone chosen for him by "Society".

:: I have to say that I do understand the emotions that gays and lesbians are going through. its never easy to be accepted but a lesson I learn from my gay friends are "to be accepted, you'll have to accept others for who they are and accept yourself as what you are". It hurts to know that stuffs are happening out there this way all around the world.

Jenna120s: there's a difference between liking and loving. its not denial, they just like ur character. don't be full of urself to that extend.

[stingva22]

@jenna120s I hate it when someone is so self deluded that they think they know more than they do. I also hate it when they try to spread their misconceptions as fact. That's why we have to make videos like these. Thanks for the reminder.

[stingva22]

@jenna120s Nope.

[stingva22]

@jenna120s For someone who's profile says they hate ignorance, you sure are displaying a lot of it. If you're the option, trust me, I'm not interested.

[stingva22]

@jenna120s Sorry Jenna, you have no idea what you're talking about. You don't know me, or anything about me, so you can theorize all you want. In my 34 years I have never had any interest in women at all.
