White women feet

[justanotherbrothalover]

I think there are cultural and language issues at play here Tam. I also think given the recent negative rep Imanuela has received, that she's more touchy about comments than she might be otherwise. I think when you feel everyone is attacking you, and you don't really understand why, it's bound to put you a bit on edge. So I personally would consider any responses in that context. Not saying I don't see where y'all are coming from, just that I think Imanuela may have just unintentionally gotten off on the wrong foot, partly based upon incorrect assumptions about the forum prompted somewhat legitimately by the atmosphere here. Not criticizing, just giving my two cents.

Damn you smart wise woman you. LOL
Yes, you do have a point here. I admit that even Jay and me do have misunderstandings due to cultural issues even though Germany is not that different from the US so I can see where some problems come from.
I also have to admit that (just like Tammy) Im not the most patient person in the world. I hope Santa knows how much Im trying though LOL

I agree with you on many points.

Plus, I noticed that its Emanualle making a comment on the sexual or fetish topic at hand (that she didn't start), and while to some it can seem simplistic, or sexually based, they have unfairly either mocked her or insulted her comment, and THEN get offended when she responds in kind in her own defense.

As a foreigner living here, I can tell you first hand that there are many cultural DIFFERENCES in how IR's are filtered to the world and interpreted. And I say that not to say that its in a bad way, more that it's responded to differently than how many Americans respond.

Plus, the history of IR in this country isn't at the forefront in many foreign countries, so the expression of love and desire for IR tends to be unfiltered, much as it is (somewhat hypocritically) for someone expressing their love for Intra-racial love.

I know I am coming in late here... evidently I don't venture into this thread too often. But I want to contribute my two cents...

The American culture, though it seems easy to figure out on the surface, can be incredibly complex. I have lost count of the number of times I have either offended or confused an American, completely unintentionally. Sense of humour, social boundaries, race, religion, family... these things are all viewed very differently in different countries. We all have different histories. And I think these differences catch many people by surprise. I expected that moving from one western, english speaking country to another (Australia to America), that the differences would be minimal. I couldn't have been more wrong. I believe that other countries are more sensitive to America's differences and cultural idiosyncrasies, thanks in part to the large exposure we have from television etc. But the culture and social boundaries of other countries may be lesser known or understood to an American, because they aren't immersed with it, (being pretty much the public center of the world) so when a foreign person makes an observation or a joke or some such thing, it can easily be misconstrued. With the invention of the internet we are free to communicate transglobally, so maybe one day we will be hindered less by these differences. That's not to say some people aren't just insensitive jerks, and that may just be in this case.

There's a lot of wisdom from some smart people in these responses. There are still enough cultural differences within the US to cause misunderstandings.

I think anytime you have people with different backgrounds, whether it be cultural, intellectual, socio-economic, etc., you're going to run into some misunderstandings. Factor in massive differences in personality, upbringing, etc. and it's just bound to happen. I think as long as people can approach conversations with that in mind, it's less likely the misunderstanding will escalate to a more serious issue. I hope American's are mindful that you didn't grow up here JABL, and that they take that into account when talking to you. I know you aren't the type of person who would intentionally try to be offensive, and hopefully the people you interact with know that too. BTW, thanks for the rep!

And before someone says 'less talk, more pics'... as promised, pics from my pedicure yesterday.

I just thought the last one was cool, so I'm throwing it in.

Yes they did a great job. I have been in a red mode lately too. Must be the holidays. I got the coolest color last pedicure. A pearlized red. The brand was Color Code. I found out after looking, it is only a brand that pros can buy. I asked if I can buy a bottle for touchups so I am waiting for a call it came in.

OPI's Burlesque has a new red, Ali's Big Break, and that's what I've got on fingers and toes and it's absolutely stunning! I'm not a big red fan, and usually I have one color I like, but I bought a bottle of this one too.

If your manicurist won't get you a bottle of the red you like, just let me know Jordan and I can have my sister buy it. She's a stylist and can buy all the pro products, she does it for us all the time.

Please don’t allow the ignorance of others to dictate whether or not you belong here on the board. You’re one of those “salt-of-the-earth” kind of people and it’s been fortunate for all us that you’re still here.

Thanks Kuno, Jordan, Tam, goodlove, and Tony.

Thank you also for the kind rep Tony, you're always a pleasure to hear from, and I appreciate that you're one of the most respectful people on the forum and one of the reasons I stay. Oh and my feet have actually been getting plenty of that lately, can't complain at all.

Too funny. I bought the little teaser set of burlesque and it has that in it. This is more satiny/pearly red. Think the red stripe on a candy cane. It's been a week and I will call them to see if they got it for me. Hopefully so. It's just unique and umm........I want it.
