Historically speaking, democrats were slave traders. I know that goes back, way back to a couple of hundred of years, but what has changed since then that these racists overwhelming support the Republican party today?

Favorite answer: Yes.
At the time the Republican party was the "liberal" party (they were new, the Democrats had been around forever)
and in its early years (until the Amendment was passed) one of the major planks in the Republican platform was nationwide abolition of slavery.

Compared Trump's lawyers to 13 year-olds giving a "book report."

Favorite answer: That is sad to hear, is true that sometimes people who are not bad suffer tragedies. Donald Trump will face justice in due time dear. RIP to Mr.Bryant

So the situation is that I'm a 33-year-old accountant that is not particularly comfortable communicating with women casually. Professionally, I am, but socially/casually, I'm not. I understand it's very late in my life to attend to this issue but better late than never.I want to do something about it and I understand that it will take time. So I thought that working at a clothing store, in the weekends, where I face women consistently, where I can small talk, would be the best place to start However, I'm not sure if this is a good or a bad idea because the extent of an interaction at a clothing store might never get past a small talk. But, maybe, initially to get rid of my nerves, this might be a good thing. I wanted to gather your opinions and see what you guys think. I thought about working at a casual fine dining restaurant, but I'm not good-looking by society's standards and I'm not big either. So that's out of the picture. Is working at a clothing store a good start to remove some nerves ?
