As for soul, I wouldn't dream of speaking for anyone else, but it's my personal opinion that if you have to ask what it is, you probably don't have it.

You're confused. The majority of people who tan do not do it "to look like brown people".... they do it to look tanned, relaxed, and as if they just stepped off a beach and have a life of leisure. The sunkissed look is what most white people would look like with normal daily exposure to sun that humans used to get before we retreated into climate controlled buildings.


The fashion trend used to be the opposite up until about the movie age, when movie stars pushed the "I just spent two months in St. Tropez" tanned and rested look as chic. Every white person used to want to look as pale as possible to show you DIDN'T work outside in the sun. This is also still a thing in a lot of Asia.

Come on! Give us an answer!

How does one acquire soul? Well, in my case, I flew into Incheon airport and then took a bus for about 35 kilometers east on Highway 130, and just like that, there it was. I had it for only a week before I gave it up, but I must admit, I really enjoyed having it for the time that I did.

Oh, wait, I meant I had Seoul. Sorry.

Not a bad idea if you play with a baby. I stopped wearing pearls too.

Yesterday I was on the telephone with my son and his almost one year old was examining the inside of his ears. Intelligent children just need to examine the world to see how things work.

If this is the garbage that is the norm on college classes then college is useless in my opinion.

No respect from me.

Do you smirk at the idea of a Black cellist, too? How about a Native American Heavy Metal band?

I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek when I said that, I guess I should have been more obvious. My point was, there are lots of fashions that are less than healthy, and it's good to see a trend towards people appreciating their own beauty, whatever that may look like.

Okay, so that guy was a jackass. It wasn't his taste for rap that made him one.

Actually, Koreans have plenty of soul. I suspect it's from a background of being oppressed. But nobody does R&B, soul, and gospel as authentically as South Koreans--and my father even testified to that from the 50s.
