Errr... I live with 3 other guys. Girls have their advantages and guys have their advantages. This past summer I roomed with 4 other girls, and they complained about me having 3 people (out-of-towners) sleep in our living room. Also, they tried to make us all having dinner with each other "mandatory". And after rooming with guys for so long, these concepts were foreign (giving a crap about people staying over and trying to "force" socialness on one another). But it was nice to live in a clean place this summer.... so it's a trade-off. I must admit, I enjoy being anti-social a lot more and it's nice having-friends-over-whenever. >as far as wanting an indian guy, i can somewhat understand that. i had a >roommate last year that was from nigeria, and while he was pretty cool, i >had no idea what the hell he was saying. if you want someone that >understands what the hell you are saying, i can understand that. not >letting someone live with you because they are jewish, is retarded. Look at his post more as a "warning". I'm sure he'd love to room with a Jewish person so he could try to convert them everyday. I look at it as "Warning: You don't want to room with me unless...." You should not undermine his intentions. I think it would be worse if a "non-Christianlike" person moved in, and it would introduce much conflict. Respect people's opinions UNTIL they start treading on your turf. That's my view. Gail -- "Make me think that at the end of the day, some great reward will be coming my way." -- dM
