The Internet perhaps? Can you recommend some good sites?
For me, it's my father. Neither of us knows proper ballroom dancing, and we make up our own steps together as we go along at home, and have lots of fun doing it.

The word 'phobia,' upon which the suffix '-phobe' is based, is itself based on the Greek word 'Phobos' (meaning fear or the personification thereof). The dictionary (and popular understanding) has the definition of 'homophobia' as the fear OR hatred of homosexuals. (We'll just assume the same rules apply in regard to 'Islamophobia.' I haven't looked it up. :-))
Fear and hatred are two wholly distinct emotions requiring equally distinct responses from society, so how is either term accurate (or fair) for both of the 'phobias' each is used to describe? (Maybe the wholesale manufacture of nonsensical neologisms is why people are getting so sick of the clear tyranny of political correctness?)
Let's use myself for an example. While I do not fear or hate homosexuals, I definitely DO fear Islam--as any rational person would--and I certainly do not hate Muslims. Why, in my case, should I be considered a 'hater' when I 'hate' no one? Why should anyone? Why do people have such a hard time differentiat... less

Will you do it or not & why, if so how soon will you start it.

" Whither thou goest I will go

THY PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE
And thy God my God
Where thou diest I will die"
Are there any people you think of as "my people"? Why?

There is this one girl that constantly glances at me, but I feel that if I say something to her, she would act as if I'm scaring her. What seems to be the problem?

My confusion dissolved, a while ago, when I looked up the history of how it first developed in England and then later in America.
It turns out that there are separate strands of political and or moral liberalism.
A person can embrace one but not the other on logically consistent and sound premises.
Many people are left without being in the least morally liberal.
Many are ethically laissez-faire and abhor the left.
And yet a substantial proportion of liberals embrace both the leftist politics and various degrees of philosophical position on liberty.
The positions on how to best create freedom range from anarchy at one extreme to the proactive assertion of equal rights and non-discrimination at the opposite pole - with most people sitting somewhere in the middle of the spectrum.

But then he starts marching on the spot then around the room while playing his Air Bagpipe. Eventually he reaches grove factor 10 and he starts swiveling his hips like Elvis but he still keeps doing the marching and playing the Air bagpipe. I call him Scotty Presley. Cheers and happy weekend!

Murdered by illegal immigrants. The crowd was pumped about his trip to Mexico already. The eyes of the nation were upon him.
Then this lady took the wind out of his wings! He quickly cut her conversation short. Trump likes the Russians.
I was thinking, "See what you get?" Not the message he wanted to pass along.
And, of course, the main media said nothing about it. But I saw it myself. less
