Is it true that people who watch Faux news, have a fear of alternative views of others?

I heard that today, so I thought I would run it by you, and see what you have to say on the matter.
That’s why Colmes is not on Faux any more, and hasn’t been for awhile.

That’s probably a polite way of saying it.

Is It Time To Come Out To Your Parents?

Every gay person will face the option of coming out to parents at some stage during their lives. This can be a very emotional decision and as a gay person you should prepare yourself for this.

There is no use having this very important talk with them if you are still unsure about your own sexual orientation. Do not blurt out a half-truth, but rather explain to them that have an attraction to people of the same sex and ask them for their support and advice; This way you get your parents on your side right from the early stages of coming out.

But if you are sure of your choice, have an open and frank discussion about it rather sooner than later in your life. This will give you the freedom to be totally yourself at home as you come out. Choose your timing well and rather wait until you can share this information at a time when everybody concerned is in a relaxed mindset.

Support as in a lover or friend may not be a good idea, as this will cause your parents to react in a polite and untruthful manner. In many cases some parents immediately took aim at the lover and made him the party to blame for your decisions.

Do not expect your parents to shrug and carry on with their lives. You will find in most cases that they will tell you that they knew all along, but wanted you to tell them yourself. Expect emotional moments as they come to grips with this revelation.

Answer all their questions as truthful as you can. They will probably fear for your health as a gay lifestyle and HIV still gets connected. Assure your parents that you are a responsible adult that knows all there is to know about safe sex.

Religious issues may come to the surface during your conversation, thus you should be prepared for this. Conservative parents are allowed to be upset, but they may not judge or denounce you as you may share their religious beliefs.

Agree to their terms and conditions as far as the rules they set where their house is concerned. Very few parents will throw open the doors to lovers, but given time, they will get to know your lover and before you know it he or she will get that personal invite to visit.

Be patient with yourself, your parents as well as the whole coming out process. Every one concerned will have a lot to think about and work through, so take care not force emotions and acceptance. Time will bring resolutions.

German town’s euro alternative

Germany was one of the first countries in Europe to endorse a common currency for much of the continent, but recent debt troubles in Greece, Spain and Portugal have weakened the euro.

Now Europe’s biggest economy is bracing for its own spending cuts, prompting some German towns to find their own symbolic alternatives to the euro.
