I think when we start making generalizations about people (sexual orientation, etc. or groups of individuals) we run the risk of feeding into and fueling stereotypes. I find that a bit offensive as the friend of several homosexuals. I don't think of my friends as "different", they are individuals and shouldn't be lumped together as a "type" of people. JMHO. (that's just how it sounded to me when I read it, twice...)
She was so upset because the baby had a t-shirt on that said "Hung like a 5 year old" on the front.
How disgustingly sad is that? Now to me, that T-shirt crosses a serious line, and I'd have a HARD time not saying something to the parent if I saw a child wearing that. Adults shouldn't be referencing children's privates in the first place, unless it's for medical reasons. I can't believe that!! What kind of person/company makes a shirt like that and finds it cute? I know, we couldn't believe it either. The grandmother is really quite sick over the entire thing. She has no contact with this baby's mother because she doesn't approve of the girl's boyfriend (baby's dad) he's in jail. Big surprise right? She only got the picture because the girl sent it to another relative.
Ironic thing about this girl.........she's a Middle School English Teacher. You'd think she'd have a little more sense then to put her 2 yr old child in a t-shirt like that.
I'd like to know where a shirt like that was made too.

haha...I actually know a guy...looks like Jack acts like Jack, it gets annoying, mostly because he comes off as phoney and I think is a cry for attention. But like you said earlier most gay guys are pretty easy to get along with (imo).[/quote]
One of my best friends looks like and acts like Jack but he isn't acting it is him. We have been friends for over 15 years since college. There are 4 of that have stayed friends and have called ourselves the "Girl Gang" since college. He is and has been our leader and is the only male. lol I thought he was the only other Jack out there.

Are you reffering to me because I have a lot to say and rant about. If you are reffering to my statement, you probably didn't understand what I mean.
ok, I've skipped ahead a few gazillion pages ( 
) cause I had to post this:
our nephew, who is turning 17 next month, just asked me for a playboy bunny cake
uh, excuse me?
I know, he's not 7, so he might be too old for this theme
(My reaction to that request was "Excuse me? Are you on drugs?")

I grew up in LA San Fernando Valley around a lot of the porn industry. They would film porn in the houses in my neighborhood. Big bedrooms, Suburban scenery, you get the idea.
helloooooooooo, Chatsworth!

Why thank you. I'm glad that you are not one of those homophobic people. I have to admit that a lot of young homosexuals nowadays are so different compared from before. I honestly don't go clubbing or anything associated with that. I enjoy fishing, camping and all those outdoorsy things. I think there should be more gay cakers. I love James Roselle, Jay Ellis and Joshua Russel.
Well, I'm proud to live in a country (and be from a country), where gay marriage is legal and accepted (I'm straight BTW!). I look forward to the day I make my first wedding cake for a gay couple. I don't actually know any gay men that run around being screaming queens like Jack from Will & Grace, they are all far more like Will! As for people who think that if gay men raise a child, that child will turn out gay too - oh please! I find it so sad that you will always have people who are afraid of those who are not like them, be it sexual orientation, skin colour or religious beliefs. Their ignorance is what causes so much unhappiness in the world. OK, I'll get off my soap box now![/quote]*raises hand* I do, I do!!

No, I wasn't referring to you at all. 
I've recently had the pleasure of being asked to make the wedding cake for a lesbian couple that are friends of mine. I'm honored, and we're working real hard to change the marriage laws in this state. I want my daugther to grow up liberal minded and accepting, not judmental.
I would actually prefer a Prada bag or Cosmo cake for my kid than one with a Confederate flag.
It's inappropriate in my opinion period, but so sad to see for a child.
As a very proud southerner, who is a direct descendant of a Confederate soldier, I can only assume the you have never researched the true meaning of the Confederate flag. A huge majority of people tie it directly to racism, which is a shame. If it offends you, then you may need to brush up on your history.
I fly a "rebel flag" and it is people like me who are indeed offended when it is attacked based on what you "think" it stands for.
The same can be said for the swastika too.
And?
no, it can't. like a PP said, the swastika is seen in Hindu readings. and the confederate flag has a deep historical background, nothing to do w/ racism. it has, sadly, been used by these groups for all the wrong reasons.
as the old saying goes, if my flag offends you, you need a history lesson. the war between the states (nothing civil about it) has been misconstrued for years in watered down school history classes. this was a struggle for states rights, as set forth in the constitution.
do some research, before making such a general attack.
You guys need to calm down. Don't get me wrong, but I am pretty sure that you are raising your children the way they should be raised. I'm 32 with 5 kids and you know what they are pretty good kids to say the least. When they are on the internet its cartoon network, disney, nickelodion and any fun kids games that they can download. TV is just about the same, cartoon network, disney, etc. This is what they like, but on the one hand I wouldn't let any of them watch Girls Next Door, I personally hate the show because women and blonde (need I say more) no offense to the blondes on this forum. My mom called me alien because I was a homebody and I turned out to be a pretty responsible person. I think that is all that should really matter. By the way, none of them have cell phones, so that should say a lot.
Don't hate, just my 2 cents

I was asked to make a "weed" cake for a 30 year old and wouldn't do it. I've made boobie cakes for stags etc...but just couldn't do the weed one. I guess its because of what I've seen weed do to a couple people I felt like it was wrong. This man was to have his 2 children at the party as well as my step dd. They have no problem with it and neither does her mother so I just refused, I want her to know that at least one person in her life doesn't want her to be a pothead!
So, even though this was for a grown person I still refused. Perhaps I would feel differently if it wasn't for all the kids that were going to be there and the fact that my dd would know I made that cake. I KNOW she would at least see the pictures taken at the party.
Good for you Carson. That's what I think it boils down to.
No one should make a cake that they are morally opposed to. I wouldn't give a kid at any age a Prada purse, and I would be opposed to them having a real one, so I probably would be opposed to doing that theme in a cake.
Now, PP mentioned satin Playboy Bunny sheets and I just had to laugh. I had my own satin PB Bunny sheets when I was about 13. I had absolutely no idea what it meant. I just loved the satin, and loved the bunny head.
I guess the point most people here are trying to make is that there are things that bother them. A lot of people have totally different ideas of what is appropriate for who.
You're right and because of that I think alot of these posts come across as very judgemental because we don't all have the same values. I have to wonder how many people sat and thought about the fact that there might be people on here who let their little girls have PB logo stuff or don't have an issue with their teenage son having a boob cake before they started talking about how terrible parents like that are.
Well I'm one of those terrible parents. I don't have any girls but I'd have no issue making my sons boob cakes when they're teenagers.

I like your style and totally agree with you, although I don't think I would go as far as making my son a boob cake, but I think the parents that allow their kids those luxuries have probably explained to them the significance at one point or another, who knows.

No matter how you gift wrap it the Confederate Flag is a divisive symbol.
I love that CF supporters always use "history" as their reasoning for embracing the flag. It must be convenient to pick and choose your history and totally deny another's own history. It's actually kind of ironic if you think about it. (hint:superiority)
How exactly is it NOT RACIST, yet offends an entire race of people. How does that work?
Why is it that Southern States didn't even choose to fly the CF until the Civil Rights era? Why did it take the Civil Rights and Jim Crow era for many states to incorporate the CF into the state flags? These aren't hate groups these were politicians and "regular folk".
Why was the CF flown during school integration protests? Why was it embraced by segregationist?
Why has it been embraced by those that believe in White Supremacy? Because it has really cool colors?
I am sure you will have no problem shedding some light on these questions due to your significant historical background.
