Just looking to meet people of similar age with similar interests to chat. I have four adult daughters, work with young people at university and not much time to just make friends outside work! -

Is political correctness in our modern society, being taken too far or have we got the balance right? What are your views?I live in the US and PC is a joke. Just because someone doesn't use a term that may not be PC does not mean they are or aren't a racist or bigot. I would prefer people speak their mind and I will decide if I want to spend my time with them. Recently my boss made my supervisor change my evaluation to reflect that training may be needed in discrimination/inclusiveness as my university adopted a policy of PC and because I am white, well I must need help to better understand the plight of other cultures. No, I don't. I am open to meeting people from anywhere. I like you or dislike you based on my interaction with you, it's really as simple as that.ViewDate:

Should we abandon marriage?I was married once for 12 years. Never remarried as I had children and didn't feel up to putting my children though a series of relationships or burden them or myself with an outside person suggesting how they should be raised. So, I stayed single. It seems there is a time and place for marriage. Some people want and need a partner to get through life and others do not. It seems silly to fault folks for wanting a marriage under the right circumstances and silly to fault folks who choose to remain unmarried. What does anger me is the discrimination single parent must deal with. In the USA single folks to do not get the same tax breaks as married folks. Why? Insurance is most instances is more expensive. Why? There seems to be a belief that married folks are more responsible which makes me laugh. Doesn't the sheer fact that they are sharing the load of life with someone else demand less? If a spouse loses a job the other spouse can hopefully work and help out. A dependant child cannot. The point to my rambling is simply this. There should not be a reward or a punishment based on marital status. Those who want marriage should be married and those who do not, should not be required to marry. Not everyone is marriage material! No, I am not gay such a female who did not want to force some strange guy onto her children. And no I did not receive child support or the family home. Anyone would be hard pressed to undermine my sense of accomplishment or belief in myself. More importantly all four of my girls know they can do whatever they set their minds too. 2 are housewives and 2 are college educated but all four made the decisions they felt were best for them.ViewDate:

TRAVELING SOLO AND LOOKING FOR A COMPANION?I met and spent a week on a narrowboat with a complete stranger and we had a blast. Spent about three months chatting back and forth and discussing expectations, shared costs etc. Made a new friend. Planning a second trip next year. Be careful, use your head, make sure you are comfortable with the person and that others know what is going on, where you will be and with whom. If they aren't willing to share that information then don't do it! -
