5/23 Lessons of the same-sex marriage debate in the Netherlands
http://csua.org/u/7ez
\_ I was kind of surprised by how bad this article is, given it's
from the Hoover Institute. They generally do better than this.
I counted about six crossed narratives, none of which tied the
central "history of gay marriage" narrative to the marriage data
on the chart. It seemed more like one person's opportunity to
vomit up a bunch of their readings into gay politics in the
Netherlands than any kind of research results. You know what, I can
read crap written by far-left academics and come up with alarming
statements, too, and I doubt I would get paid as much the author.
\_ The Hoover Institute has a glorious history of trying to draw
dubious correlations, then trying to claim causation.
\_ The chart makes no distinction between planned and unplanned
occurrences of children out of wedlock.
\_ Given the argument, I'm not sure it matters. Would in
increase in unplanned out of wedlock children be good or bad
of this page's statistics? The both show a break down of
the family.
\_ If the chart showed an increase in planned out-of-wedlock
births, it would show that more people think that being
married is not essential to having a kid. It is misleading
to describe this as "a break down of the family".
\_ yea... having two parents is old hat.
\_ Mmm.. obtuseness
\_ This article is a religious article, their
assumption is that children should be raised by
married parents. Not to meantion, cohabitating
families are statstically shown to be less stable.
With these facts in mind, it is hardly surprising for
this article to call a high percentage of out of
wedlock births a breakdown of the traditional family.
\_ Mmm.. statistics
\_ Mmm.. meaningless comments |

5/20 Anybody find themselves in a similar situation: You have a good
friend of the opposite gender. This person is either married or
in a serious relationship with a loser. The loser doesn't display
any obvious jealously (and there is no reason to be jealous), but
does seem to quietly sabotage your relationship. Like saying
"I'm feeling tired and want to go home" or just becomes moody
and ruins things.
\_ "no reason to be jealous" doesn't sound accurate
\_ Not in a sexual sense. I think he knows he is a loser. He
probably makes less than half of what she and I do, for example
so he is always lobbing to go cheap on things.
\_ it sounds like you are the loser. -tom
\_ Why do you say that? Nobody is showing off. It's more
like after going out to dinner he wanted to go home or
go across town to a bar where drink are $1 cheaper.
He also doesn't have a car so he always needs to be
picked up. Isn't it embarassing for guys if the woman
has to pay for bar and restaurant tabs because you are
always short (this isnt some Bad Boy Hells Angels type).
\_ here's a hint: the world doesn't revolve around you.
\_ Is this person married? I'm tending to agree with
tom here.
\_ Maybe it should be rephrased "doesn't know he has a reason to be
jealous"
\_ I sort of expected this to be challenged. But you have to
accept that at face value. This is someone I've known for
a long time, gone on trip with together etc. If something
were going to happen, it would have. I dont want it to.
In fact I always make sure to give them some space.
\_ I hate hanging out with my wife's friends and family, and I'll
make excuses so we'd leave as early as politeness allows when
they are around. Most of the time I'll just ask my wife to go
stag when they will be present. Is the loser SO insisting on
showing up, or is your friend the one bringing the SO along?
\_ I dont think this is a case of not liking me. He seems
perfectly happy to talk about sports or movies, when "the
women" are doing something else. I wonder if his behavior
would change if I were not single.
\_ You obviously don't like him much, I doubt he loves hanging
with you. Stop being an arrogant asshole.
\_ sabotage your platonic relationship? eh?
\_ basically it's a case of "my buddy got hooked up, and now I've
lost my buddy" -- which happens all the time
\-Many of you are "begging the (non)hypothetical" ... surely
if a guy says "he's not after a woman" you can take take
that at face value. This sounds very plausible to me,
especually around here ... say your are friends with someone
from school and she hooks up with someone who was doing well
back in the 1990s and then became a (fat, in poor physical
condition) <DEAD>dot.com<DEAD> causualty and became a bitter lemur with
no car. --psb
\_ And...? She likes him. This dude needs to mind his own
business. What's his question?
\- i think the question is whether to antagonize the
Lemur. You should tell him to "get a (job|car)". --psb
\_ I guess what he really wants to ask is how he can win her
over or at least get into her pants.
\_ Sure, this happens with both male and female friends, if their
new lover doesn't get along with me or thinks that I am a bad
influence. He is just jealous, in the general sense, not the
sexual sense. Does he try to drive away all of her friends?
If so, that is a warning sign of an abusive personality.
\_ You might be on to something there! He is really moody, and
they do have a lot of fights sort of in public. |

5/19 How do I deal with multiple potential gf?
\_ Dating advice on motd?
\_ Post their name, pic url , and contact here.
\_ try before you buy.
\_ But I am weak in the conscious department,
I can't get myself to do it without feeling too guilty.
\_ How is this not conscientious? Lots of people date around
before committing to a person. Just because you go on
a date doesn't mean you married them.
a date doesn't mean you married them. Some people draw
the line at sex though, but that's up to each party.
\_ If you are in a semi-vegetative state, how are you going to
satisfy even a single mate?
\_ Modern dating has gotten really screwed up. You're supposed to
try out a lot of different people with a date or two before you
commit to one. That's the IDEA. Think of it as a friendly job
interview.
\_ But where do you draw the line? You don't take multiple
job offers. But sometimes after getting a job offer, you
still want to see if you can get that google job, but you
don't know if google actually want you. If google doesn't
want you, then you will take this offer, after all, one
needs a job. But does this really apply to dating? Although
employers also have multiple candidates lined up, they don't
send out multiple offers at the same time.
\_ Didn't you just answer your own question? You don't make
multiple commitments. Duh. I would say don't sleep with
them either, but I say that goes till your married.
\_ true story. a friend of mine had a phone interview at google.
the interviewer was an asshole and he didn't get a real
interview. a few months later he gets a job at a web company.
two days after he starts work he gets a call from google.
someone saw his master's thesis and they want to hire him. he
quits his job and goes and works at google and has been very
happy ever since. it's a true story, but you can think of it
as a dating parable if you so desire.
\_ so you should write lots of erotic stories and post them
around on the net in the hopes of attracting some
random attractive female fan?
\_ I've interviewed at google twice. The second time I was
there for almost 8 hours and correctly answered a long
list of random and obscure questions from half the
engineering staff. Idiot head recruiter will only say I
was "not a good technical fit" when I was teaching their
people several things they didn't know during the
interview process. I think google interviews are just
free training for their staff.
\_ deal? gf != wife. Date all of them. Until you "get serious" and
have some official "we're going steady and not fucking other people"
agreement, you can do what you want. Do you really think all of
them are having sex only with you and not 'dating' others? Don't
be so naive. Not only are girls out there fucking multiple guys
(and often other girls too) but plenty of them have STDs and know
it and don't care if they dose you.
\_ Party girls won't care if you date multiple ppl. Otherwise,
cowboy up and choose one. If yer a party guy, why would you
care, anyways?
\_ Figure out where you draw the line. Two girls at once, it's ok to:
- go out for coffee
- social activities / parties
- go out to dinner
- kiss
- 2nd, 3rd base ?
\_ what does 2nd and 3rd base mean?
\_ 2nd: Putting your arm around her shoulders at the movies
3rd: Holding hands
- have sex with
- marry
Decide which checkboxes would make you feel guilty (or perhaps make
your potential dates jealous) and try not to cross those lines.
\_ if you're up front about it? all of the above sound fine. I've
seen multiple marriage work just fine.
\_ If you're honest about it, do whatever you feel comfortable
with. In the absence of complete disclosure, do no more than
the other person might expect you to.
\_ If you choose multi-dating, either you have to lie to your dates or
you have to put up with their own multi-dating. The difficulty of
lying is exponential in its duration and the number of dates. If
you consent to their multi-dating, remember that the tunnels of
love you crawl in and out of are shared by strangers with diverse
odors and fluid viscosity: you will be bathing yourself in public
toilets. As you savor the sparkling dew from one of their treasured
orifices, do you stop to wonder which of your fellow suitors
secreted such delightful nectar?
\_ Just because you're only dating one girl doesn't mean you're the
only guy (or girl) she is sleeping with. My favorite is the
(very) large number of colleg girls who sleep with other girls
and honestly don't believe they are cheating because "it isn't
real sex". You can still get a long list of STDs from your
girl friend's girl friend. OTOH, if you're fucking both of them,
either at the same or different times then it's share and share
alike anyway.
\_ Having a single girl does not mean she will make reciprocal
arrangement, but having more and tell them so will most
surely engender reciprocity if they stay. Unless your
relationship is platonic or your date far outfoxes you,
it is hard not to figure out whether she has other gigolos.
\_ Who the FUCK deleted this thread?
\_ Yeah, this was the only halfway interesting thing here. |

4/28 My sister's serious w/ a poor Viet guy who doesn't have a job, lives
at her place, and does nothing except cleans up the house for her
(he is a clean freak). My parents don't like him because he can't
speak Korean and Idon't like him because he is a shy, weak ass
pussy. Do you guys have similar problems and what do you guys do
about it?
\_ Has he actually wronged you in any way? As long as your sister is
an adult, she's free to make mistakes. All you can do it tell her
what a loser he is and hope she notices.
\_ Hi lame troll. Here's my lame answer: get off the motd and pretend
there is something more important going on in your life.
\_ hey screw you. My sister makes over 100K and gets to inherit
1/2 of my parents' estates and everyone except her can see
that he's in it for the money. The only reason why she likes
him is because "he treats her like a princess", but man,
he is a loser and he's gonna get 1/2 of her shit. It is just
messed up. -op
\_ I have a similar situation to yours. There's not much
you can do, as far as i can tell. If you act openly
contempuous towards the loser it can just make the situation
worse, but that doesn't mean you have to hide what you think
either. Sometimes good people marry bad people, and I don't
think there's anything you or me can do about it.
\_ Who says he is a bad person? His faults are: 1) he does
not speak Korean (parents = racist), 2) there is no 2.
The op is getting all twittish because the guy wants to
be a house husband and the sister loves it. Who is the
op to judge? Would he be happier if his sister was
sucking some guy who had a job but treated her like
shit? I'll do *that* for free and I won't even take
the parents money.
\_ hahaha just like all the whores marrying men for their
money, your sister is one of the few getting screwed by a
worthless guy! That's so great! Anyway, it's all your
parent's and family's fault for not raising her to respect
herself more. If you didn't all treat her like shit when
she was younger then she wouldn't put so much value on his
'treating her like a princess'. --no sympathy
\_ It's good she gets the trophy husband early. This way she
knows what she wants in trophy husbands #2 and #3.
\_ As the above guy points out, this is sort of routine for
women: they do nothing but hang around the house in a
great many cases. But no one rails against thair worth.
Why're you so against this guy?
\_ Those women are worthless too.
\_ It depends on how determined she is. If she's a very self-sufficient
person, then the only way she will change her mind is by herself,
but if she's not, then you can be persistent and keep at it.
\_ I will kick the loser's ass, and take over the duties of fucking
your sister. How much is this inheritance, anyway? I will teach
her the value of a strong man.
\_ you know, Asians are pretty racist among themselves, and having
brought up in a traditional Asian family I can totally understand
your point of view. I mean, Viet + Korean??? what the hell is
wrong with your sister?????
\_ She's a Vietphile. Man, that's real embarrassing for your family.
You should be ashamed.
\_ Tell her, I think our parents think X, I think Y. But it's your
life. Whatever you do, I'll try my best to support you.
\_ As long as he treats her well, I don't see anything bad about.
What if your sister dates a super rich guy who treats her like
trash? What's most important is how happy your sister is with
this guy. If the guy loves your sister for the wrong reason, then
that's whole different story.
\_ I believe op thinks that the shy guy is going to turn into
an asshole or lose all of his sister's money after several
years (e.g., she quits her $100K job to have babies), and be
a poor role model for the kids. op probably thinks that if
the guy had a job and wasn't a "shy, weak ass pussy", then op
wouldn't think this way.
\_ "shy, weak ass pussy" doesn't mean he only loves her for
the money.
\_ did I say anything about "loves her for the money" in my
post?
\_ if not, you shouldn't be too concern. Your sister
is adult. Let her make her own decision. The more
pressure you put on her, the more resistance she would
have to leave this guy.
\_ does anything think kchang is not a "shy, weak ass pussy"?
\_ isn't he married to some hot chick?
\_ see?
\_ you guys are dumb. he is gay. that's why we made fun of him. |

underwear, burning their money in wastebaskets and

by performing a gay marriage. Wouldn't it be easier if we just decided
that relegious marriage and civil marriage had nothing in common?
http://salon.com/news/wire/2004/03/15/ministers_charges/index.html
\_ why don't they charge the Mayors first?
\_ That's a bit extreme. Right now, religious ministers are licensed
by the state to perform civil as well as religious marriage in a
single ceremony as a convenience (and it means far fewer people
coming to the courthouse for civil marriages, which saves you the
taxpayer $$). Some countries don't allow for this and require a
civil ceremony. That seems like a reasonable system. It is what
will likely happen if same-sex marriage becomes legal (because most
ministers will refuse to perform same-sex ceremonies and will
likely not be allowed to perform any civil marriage).
\_ Yes, but then you have to decide what civil marriage means. If two
homosexuals can have a civil union which really just means a legal
contract, why can't more people sign on to it? Why not have legal
polygamy which grants the same benefits to groups as it does to
couples? Why limit yourself?
\_ All I'm saying is that it seems contrary to seperation of church
and state for a religious ceremony to hold any legal authority.
A marriage license should have no religious weight, and a
religious ceremony should have no legal weight.
\_ Does it really? ""Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof..." There is less to separation of church and
state than is sometimes claimed.
\_ Actually, judges often times don't use the actual text
of the Constitution itself but rather the intent of the
text (which is why the Federalists Papers are often
consulted by Constitutional experts). In this case, the
first ammendment is loosely interpreted as meaning the
government shall not force a particular religion upon
the people. Don't know if that was the intent or not.
\_ There's also a lot of case law and precedant flowing from
that. It has been extended (by "activist judges") to
include all lower levels of government too.
\_ Religious ceremonies are just that. Ceremonial. They
already do not carry any legal weight. That's why you need
to go to city hall first and get a marriage license, etc.
If the signed and witnessed document is not returned to
city hall later, you're not married. You're single, right?
\_ If a black man and a white girl can get married, why not have
legal homosexual marriages? Why limit yourself?
\_ exactly. lets just allow everyone to do everything, sanction
and tax it. it feels good so do it! think of the children!
it takes a village. did I miss any?
\_ why limit ourselves to homosexual marriages. let's have
polygamous marriages.
\_ If you want to submit yourself to a denigrating
relationship or position of inferior humanity, knock
yourself out. Just don't expect society to pass a law
recognizing the legitimacy of such a relationship.
\_ How is it inferior? Society? So if society rejects
homosexuality, you will accept that?
\_ On the contrary: homosexual monogamy is about a
relationship between two equal partners. Polygamy,
by its very nature, begins to imply a hiearchy:
first wife over second wife, etc., with each
additional member of the overrepresented gender
adding to the overall importance of the under-
represented gender.
\_ On the contrary, homosexuality throughout history
has always been about unequal partners. Roman
men and their males slaves. Greek men and boys.
Prison daddies and their "wives".
\_ Contrast that with modern homosexual relation-
ships, wherein both partners are considered
equals.
\_ Similarly, polygamous relationships can
work in modern societies, where people
come together under their own free will.
\_ ...the weird thing (from my POV) is
that I find myself thinking that you're
right. My objections are based on bad
examples in the past, not mature, modern
relationships. That, and it gives me the
willies.
\_ Then you get stuff like one person extending their health
care to a dozen people.
\_ yes and why is that any different than one person
extending to only one person? why extend at all? why
not allow one to extend to 12, 50, 5000 if they're in
love?
\_ you're an idiot.
\_ You can be in love with 5,000 people, but it's unfair
to require employers, the gov't, etc to provide
spousal benefits to an arbitrarily large # of people.
\_ The current laws and policies are based on the
presumption that marriages are union between a
man and a woman. I am sure there are ways
to change it so that it caters well to a
society with polygamous marriages, or for
that matter, gay marriages. History is full
of polygamous societies with code of laws.
\_ All of which are/were based on the superiority
one gender over another. Disagree? Prove me
wrong: find me one (1) polygamous society,
historical or modern, in which one gender was
not considered less valuable than the other.
\_ This doesn't prove anything. Historically,
even in monogamous societies, one gender
is considered less valuable than the other.
Find me one society in history where
homosexuality is prevalent (eg. Rome,
Ancient Greece) where the relationship is
not often unequal (Roman with male slave,
Greek with slave boy, etc.).
\_ Point being that you're the one arguing
for historical justification of polygamy
whereas I'm not arguing for historical
justification of homosexual marriage.
\_ Incorrect. I was arguing against
using a small difficulty in the
current benefits system as argument
against polygamy.
\_ Yes, but at least the Bible supports this relationship.
\_ Using religious texts as the basis for civil laws...
what a great idea. Call me when we're stoning the
adulterers.
\_ umm. see the US Constitution, Decl. of Independen
ce
\_ it does? where??
\_ How many wives did Solomon have?
\_ yea, but Solomon sinned against God when
his many wives led him to worship many idols.
\_ Look Moses, David, Abraham, Jacob, Caleb,
Gideon and Solomon were all polygamous.
You can try and claim the bible is against
polygamy, but you are full of it.
\_ yes, the bible is full of sinners
but that is the point..
\_ Thanks for erasing the line from
Exodus that specifically states
that a man may have more than one
wife. In any case, the bible quite
specifically, in more than one place,
allows polygamy:
\_ the one that says man "can"
, David can also send Uriah to his
death, I can also murder tons of
people, but that doesn't mean
it's not a sin just cuz it's in
the bible. "can" != "may"
\_ How about when your brother dies
and you are commanded to marry
his wife, regardless of whether
you are married or not. Is that
a sin, too?
http://members.aol.com/healinglvs/healinglvs/poly-00.htm#3
\_ The bible does not prohibit polygamy. However, the
bible also does not "support [polygamy]".
The bible instructs the husband to love his wife as
he loves himself. Also the bible says that elders,
deacons and overseers (people in leadership positions
in the church) must be "the husband of but one wife".
\_ Nah, we just want gay marriage, not polygamy. After all,
interracial marriage is allowed, right?
\_ how do people turn what was normal then to not normal now? Back then
it wAs normal to have a polygamy; it was normal to marry cousins; it
was normal to get married at age 15...
\_ it was only 'normal' for those able to afford it which was only
the upper reaches of society. it is no different today. we
still have mistresses/concubines, etc.
\_ what I really mean is that people actually think it is weird
disgusting. When I saw on talk shows that people saying it's
sick to marry cousins, I was shocked because I don't have
that disgusted feeling seeing cousin couples. Especially
when one realizes there were many cousin marriages in the
US history. To see the society get brainwashed to actually
feel cousin marriages are disgusting is amazing. At this
point, I'm sure there are many people find polygamy
revolting
\_ Cousin marriages are not, in and of themselves,
disgusting. They do, however, entail a significantly
higher chance of producing offspring with rare
recessive disorders. Common taboos against cousin
marriages are the product of the very first attempts at
eugenics by the Roman Catholic Church. Now, if you
_want_ to inflict bizarre genetic conditions on your
offspring, one could very well argue that you're
engaging in prenatal child abuse and do not deserve to
have custody of your children.
\_ This is not true. I don't have time today to
google for this, but your genetics is wrong.
Do you have any source for this? -bio major
\_ What, apart from Punnett squares?
\_ http://csua.org/u/6fn (USA Today)
\_ "A 7 to 8% chance (of genetic disorder) is
50% greater than a 5% chance," says Philip
Reilly, geneticist and author of Abraham
Lincoln's DNA, a popular history of human
genetics. "That's a significant difference.
People counseling first cousins who want
to marry need to be very careful and clear
on this," Reilly says.
\_ There's a much greater chance of
genetic disorder in children born to
women over 35, and especially over 40.
\_ Women who have children after the
age of 35 should be throw in jail
for child abuse!
\_ That is for first cousins. For second
cousins, the effect is negligible.
\_ It depends what you mean by "significantly". The
effect is probably only noticeable in aggregate, when
cousin marriage is widespread for generations. There
are various arguments to be made against cousin
marriage. But the genetic aspect is probably not that
significant, apart from e.g. "double cousins" or known
family problems, especially when there are a lot of
other factors that society disregards such as older
women having children (increases % of problems) and
other analysis one could apply to particular couples.
\_ yea, we chinese practised cousin marriage for
quite a while, and we are only just slightly
retarded.
\_ well, a) even after inbreeding, it doesn't
take much "outbreeding" to bounce back. b) maybe
people were stupider or weaker than they would
have been? how do you know? c) The average
Chinese and Indians in USA are smarter than the
average slobs back in the home country.
\_ don't be too sure. these days, among those
with a choice, the smart ones stay home
cause that's where the exciting opportuni-
ties are.
\_ that's irrelevant to the averages. the
ones that came here are mostly on the
smarter side so their average is higher.
\_ In feudal Japan, it was uncommon for commoners to get married at
all. They practiced a kind of common law marriage.
\_ Most of the world still practices a kind of common law
marriage. -tom
\_ I made that up. -tom |

3/9 Yahoo! News - Study Examines STD Rates of Teen Virgins
http://csua.org/u/6cw
"The study found that the STD rates for whites who pledged virginity
was 2.8 percent compared with 3.5 percent for those who didn't pledge.
For blacks, it was 18.1 percent and 20.3 percent. For Asians, 10.5
percent of virginity pledgers had STDs compared with 5.6 percent of
non-pledgers. For Hispanics, it was 6.7 percent and 8.6 percent."
Casual non-scientific thoughts:
1. The less horny an Asian claims, the more horny (s)he is.
2. It's safer to screw a seemingly horny Asian chick then a seemingly
non-horny one.
Also, "88 percent of pledgers have sex before marriage." Most pledgers
are liars. :-)
\_ 3. You're safer with whites than anyone else.
4. statistics tell you about averages, and if you base your
decisions on the averages of large numbers of people, you're a
fucking idiot (and you're probably fucking an idiot as well.)
\_ but as long as idiots are monogamous, they're not getting stds!
\_ Does that make me an idiot-fucking idiot? Oooh.
\_ Actually that would be an idiot-fucking fucking idiot. Or
fucking idiot-fucking idiot. We have rich vocabularies.
\_ This seems to go hand in hand with the Canadian study finding that
huge swaths of kids don't think oral sex is sex, don't think it's
sex if you pull out, don't think it's sex if you shower afterwards,
etc...
\_ Do they really think it's not sex, or are they simply in denial?
\_ They just learned well from their hero, Clinton. |

not related to your relationship. Say cheat on exams in college,
petty theft from stores. Steal from work. etc. Or if the sex

3/1 Wedding gift advice: how much should you spend on a gift for
someone in your top 5 closest friends? Does it make a difference
if your are good friends with just one person or the couple?
$100? $300? $500?
\_ I was best man at a wedding for some really good friends (both
of them) and I got them a case of very nice wine that only
matures in about 12 years or so. Be creative--I think expensive,
dull gifts are lame, and won't buy from a wedding registry out of
general principle (let the relatives take care of blenders and
silverware and shit like that) but that's just me. Just get
them something you put some thought and effort into. Rules about
how much a gift should cost seem sort of pointless. -John
\_ Then you're an idiot. My wife and I spent at least twenty
hours working on the registry and all of our friends did the
same. Nobody you just gave a gift to is going to say this to your
face but get over yourself and get something people have actually
indicated they want. As mentioned below, though, cash is greatly
appreciated as a gift at wedding time. It's really what most
newlyweds need most. We are going to have to postpone any honey
moon for quite awhile for lack of it. -- ulysses
\_ Maybe pointless to follow them slavishly. But consider someone
from Japan or China or India or Russia...say they need some
kind of basic guideline. A lot of these answers although
creative do not answer the basic question. Obviously, if you
are a surgeon making $250k/yr the answers are different than
if you are a math teacher at a high school in Virginia.
If you are an artist who has gallery exhibits, "your art"
may be fine. A sketch of the Capanille you did last saturday
would be a little silly otherwise. I think for a single person
going to a wedding, who has additional expenses for travel,
$300 is pretty fair.
\_ Good point, given that in Japan you give ornate little
envelopes full of cash, and at Bangladeshi weddings (at
least in the UK) you just dump moolah into a bag. But
I think that regardless of where you're from or how much
you make, something cool/creative will always come across
well and be appreciated. -John
\_ What I heard was whatever it costs them to invite you to their
wedding x 2. So yes, you bring more money as a couple.
\_ I mean: If you are friends with both the bride and groom
do you expect to spend more than if you are on one side of
the family.
\- when i dont like one party, i try to give something the
party i like will get in the divorce, like if she is a
dumb, materialistic bitch and he is an ethical guy with
a GiantBrain, i'd give them the OED.
\_ i just give them cash, $200 or so.
\_ Why don't you try to buy them something nice that they might
need? -tom
\_ Depends on your income, but I think anything less than $400-500
is an insult to one of your closest friends. No, it does not
make a difference if you know them both. Give as if you are
friends with both even when you are not. FWIW, I gave an
expensive set of knives and he got them in the divorce. Woo hoo!
So I guess guns are good gifts if you are friends with the man!
\_ ugh.. i feel cheap, i only spent $100 or so.
\_ If your friend is a man, the best gift you could possible
give him would be to prevent him from getting married. He
may never thank you for it, but take comfort in the fact
that you have saved one man from falling into the bottomless
pit of misery that results from marriage.
\_ bah, u just need to learn communication skills. see
men are from mars, by john gray.
\_ Communication skills won't help you when your
wife decides that she would rather have your
money and a life of luxury in the Bahamas based
on your blood and sweat rather than work to
build a life together. Communications skills
won't help you in a community property state
when she lies and tells the all-men-are-rapists
divorce court judge that you were a spousal
abuser. Communication skills won't help when
every cent you make you is directly transfered
to her account while you don't have enough to
buy a burrito at Taco Bell.
\_ ah, BDG is a wife-beater; unsurprising.
\_ This isn't the BDG, just an imposter.
-- bdg #1 fan
\_ One thing people on this thread have suggested is not getting
stuff from the registry. I suspect that these people are not
married. The point of a registry is to make it more likely
that you get things you want/need/can use and to prevent you
from getting a whole bunch of weird stuff that you don't want.
After all, people only have so much room for decorations and
if everyone gets the newlyweds artsy stuff, there won't be
anywhere to put it. Also, if the couple is paying for the
wedding themselves (as opposed to parents paying), I can
guarantee you that money is always appreciated since weddings
can be very expensive.
\_ I think the most badass thing ever would be to register at
mcmaster carr.
\_ As a sorta-recently married person, I agree with this:
registry is *good*: we wouldn't have put it on the registry
if we didn't want it! I also don't care how much a guest
spends because the wedding is a party for everyone. I mean,
don't be cheap if you can help it, but really it's just
nice to celebrate. If you don't want to get something
from the registry, then *cash* (or equivalent: e.g., gift
certificates) is very appreciated. Again, amount doesn't matter.
Getting three toaster ovens is lame (yes, we really did).
However, we did get a few unexpected gifts which made
us happy -- our favorite unexpected gift was a hedgehog
mud scraper (for shoes/boots). Obviously it wasn't expensive
but in the midst of opening gift-after-gift, it gave us
quite a laugh. And we use it all the time.
\_ It's all circumstantial. The registry is a guide that can help
you make a useful choice (however, sometimes the registry has
been made by the bride only, thus explaining "coral" and "seafoam"
as color guides).I've given gifts when I was poor and when I had
money, and when the couple were newlywed (never lived together)
and older divorcees, each with their own homes. Give what you are
comfortable with relative to both of your circumstances. A wedding
is supposed to be celebrating the joining of two people's lives,
not a treasure hunt. That happens when you graduate.
\_ I got nothing when I graduated - not even a party. I never
understood parents giving their kids things like cars when
they graduate high school. I think I got an expensive pen.
\_ I think it's because people generally need a car, and the
parents have money and the kid doesn't, so the parents feel
it's sensible to give them a car, and graduation seems like a
logical time, as it usually coincides closely with the 18th
birthday.
\_ How about offering some service as a gift? An caucasian co-worker
of mine was an amateur photographer, so he offered to take pictures
in my Chinese wedding as a gift (and it worked out well even though
he didn't understand the rituals). A service as a gift is silly in
the Chinese mind because a service is just "helping out", but I
think in the American mind it's a sincere gift. |

3/1 If you just wanna date to have sex, 18 year old girls are the best.
Let me give you a few reasons:
- younger, less chance of disease
- tighter vagina
- easier to convince her to be on the pill. feel better
There are other reasons of course. -dans #1 fan
\_ Easier to impress.
\_ Yep, and put up with bullshit that older women avoid. Also can't
use the "tried it and didn't like it" excuse as readily.
\_ The disease thing is iffy. Unless you're preying on ingenues, an
experienced 18 year old is _more_ likely to have a disease since
she's less likely to have insisted on condoms with previous mates.
\_ do 18 year old scream more/less than older woman?
\_ None of you have ever had sex.
\_ You mean for free, right?
\_ I don't care for 18, 20, 24, etc. I just love to fuck virgins.

2/29 Would you date someone with a 10 year age difference?
[twentysomething and thirtysomething]
\_ Yes, I dated a 40 year old woman, and boy, could she suck cock.
-tawei
\_ Yes, I dated a 40 year old woman -tawei
\_ Yes (20+ and 30+, but not teenager and 20+).
\_ Why not? As long as she's at least 18 and younger than I am.
\_ Unless all you guys do is fuck, you most likely won't have too
many things in common with an 18 year old. Unless of course you
have the maturity level of an 18 year old. (i.e. 28 going 18)
\_ For the sake of arguement, is it so out of the question
that an 18 year old could have the maturity level of a 28
year old?
\_ Mostly. There are rare exceptions. *VERY* rare
exceptions. Just curious, are you one of those 18 year
olds who thinks they're *REALLY* mature?

\_ funny. no, I'm a 28 year old married to a 27 year

runs out at work.
span runs out at work.
\_ A really mature 18 year old is more like your average 22
year old. A really mature 22 year old is more like your
average 28 year old. After that, it's more a matter of
life priorities and personalities; your really mature
very different understanding of life than an 18 year old,
25 year old may still be into clubbing when you're
much more interested in staying home with a good book.
\_ It's more than what you plan to do saturday night. If
very different understanding of life than 18 year old,
you're just fucking it doesn't matter but for anything
real you need enough life experiences in common. If
you're 28, own a home, on your third car, have an ex-wife
or ex-gf you almost married, and buried your 3rd dog last
year at age 15 you've done a lot of things and have a
very different understanding of life than an 18 year old,
any 18 year old just can't have. If she's 18 and has
that much life experience already she's probably had a
really hard life and comes with a truckload of baggage.
\_ The 18 to 28 mentioned above is unlikely to be a successful real
relationship but she's old enough to fuck. 23 to 33 is much more
likely to work out as a 23 year old is better able to deal but
there's still no guarantees in life. 29 to 39 is no problem. OTOH
if it's just about sex and killing some time then as long as it's
legal why not?
\_ A 10 year age difference is irrelevant. I've dated several people
10+ years my senior. All of those relationships ended amicably,
and the exes are now good friends. I recently dated someone five
years my junior (I am 24, do the math). She was very mature for
her age, but stress showed some rough spots. I think she is a
fabulous girl, and I think that she will be an amazing woman in a
few years. Basically, I think that, in the general case, age is
irrelevant. If you're older than twenty, you shouldn't be dating
people younger than seventeen, but once you resolve the questions of
legality and decorum, anything goes. Life experience is what you
make of it. People who are thirty *may* have more experience to
draw upon, but that doesn't mean they actually learned from their
experiences. I know plenty of fifty-somethings with the maturity
of a cranky toddler. Conversely, I know lots of people who were
very mature at age sixteen or younger. -dans
\_ When I was 20 and sleeping with a 37 year old, I thought so,
too. Now that I'm 34, I don't know what (apart from youth,
enthusiasm, and huge libido) she saw in me. Apart from the
aforementioned youth, enthusiasm, and huge libido, I can't
understand dating someone now who is 20.
\_ HELLO TAWEI!!! Long time no see!!!
\_ Where does a 20 year old hook up with a 37?
\_ There are plenty of older women walking around who take
care of themselves and would love to fuck your brains out
if you're 20, healthy, and clean. When I was 20 I thought
they were too old. At 34, I 'appreciate' their
desperation and 'special needs'. Just look around you,
they're single, need sex, and looking for you.
\_ Are you still friends with her? Also, have you dated any
men who are ten years your senior? -dans
\_ I believe the person above has never slept with men senior
junior, or otherwise. At 20 the person was sleeping with a
37 year old *woman*.
\_ Just because you're "still friends" and things ended amicably
doesn't mean you had healthy relationships. It may just mean
that neither of you really gave a shit. Don't confuse the two.
At 24 you're hardly in a great position to say that a 28 year
old hasn't learned more from life than an 18 year old. If the
28yo hasn't then they must have been sleeping in a cocoon. That
you even believe in the concept of mature 16 year olds (or even
younger as you say) is ridiculous. It sounds like you've 100%
swallowed the whole SF/Berkeley "if it feels good, it's good"
thing. Your 50 year 'toddlers' need professional help if
there's any 16 year old with more maturity. No offense
intended, but at 24 you're still young enough to be cute in the
way know-it-all teens are, but not old enough yet to really know
wtf you're talking about. I think you're a fabulous boy and
you'll be an amazing man in a few years but I think stress is
showing the rough spots now. Can we still be friends?
\_ In the words of a dead English guy who said it better than I
can ever hope to,
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
You seem to be under the impression that that I claim
``All 28 year olds have not learned more from life than all
18 year olds.''
I made no such claim. If you think I did, kindly reread what
I wrote in my previous post, and if you still think that's
what I claim, you should brush up on your logic and rhetoric.
If after all that you still think that's what I claim, do
yourself a favor and have your head examined. Although I've
met many 50-something `toddlers,' a great many members of
congress, not to mention our President, qualify for this
designation. I agree with you they do, indeed, need
professional help. Seeing as I held the aforementioned
beliefs for years before I set foot in California, I don't
see how they could result from any purported SF/Berkeley
``if it feels good, it's good'' `thing' you suggest I
subscribe to.
When you state that ``... at 24 you're ... not old enough
yet to really know wtf you're talking about.'' it shows
that you subscribe to the fallacy that wisdom is a linear
function of age. The fact that the depth of your N years
of experience does not include meeting a mature 18 year
proves only that you have never met a mature 18 year old.
It in no way proves that mature 18 year olds do not exist.
Assuming that N > 24, the very fact that you refuse to
believe me suggests that either a) You do not understand my
argument, or b) You do not believe I am capable of assessing
maturity. Either way continuing this discussion with you is
pointless. If a) is true, then you're clearly unfit to
participate in a rational debate. If b) is true, you are
implying that everything I have to say on this matter
has no value, in which case, my only reasonable course of
action is to assume the same is true of all your thoughts.

\_ On part A) I didn't say the fabricated quote you attribute
to me, so everything on that topic that follow is your
own personal little delusion. On part B) regarding your
impressive ability to survive 24 years, I honestly tried to
read your post but when you started to get all Spock logic
about it, it was just too boring and idiotic to continue.
There's simply no such thing as mature 18 year olds or
immature 50 year olds in the sense the OP was asking about.
If you really think you've met truly mature 16 year olds
then it only says you're rather young, not that they are
rather old. Your political beliefs about Bush and some
members of the legislative branch has nothing to do with
anything and is unlikely to convince any liberals here of
the merits of your belief system but it was a nice try.
\_ So, three generations ago, it was routine for a 18 year
old and a 17 year old to strike out on their own,
get married, settle a 160 acre piece of land, build
their own house and start having children. These
young people strike me as mature. Perhaps things
have changed in 100 years, but human nature has
not. Do not confuse the fact that you don't know
any mature 18 year olds with the idea that there
are none anywhere in the world.
\_ wife beating was common and accepted then too. that
likely to work out as a 23 year old is better able to deal but
there's still no guarantees in life. 29 to 39 is no problem. OTOH
if it's just about sex and killing some time then as long as it's
legal why not?
draw upon, but that doesn't mean they actually learned from their
experiences. I know plenty of fifty-somethings with the maturity
of a cranky toddler. Conversely, I know lots of people who were
very mature at age sixteen or younger. -dans

tends to settle a lot of arguments pretty quickly,
whereas maturity is more important for that today.
\_ I agree with you, but you know what, you need to
take it easy. - yet another poster
\_ I also think that there's not really such thing as a mature
18 year old. There's "mature for her age" but there is
some relationship between age/experience and wisdom. At
some point that curve starts to flatten, but someone age
18 can't even legally drink/gamble, go to a bar, may
not have ever voted, and could not be elected President.
The perception is that an 18 year old is a kid. Even a
really mature 18 year old does not have the wisdom of
an infantile 50 year old. An immature 28 year old and
a mature 18 year old can probably get along just fine,
but anyone older than 20 getting with an 18 year old likely
just wants sex and is rationalizing.
\_ I didn't rationalize it. I fucked her brains out until
I couldn't move anymore and my cock was sore from the
endless sex. The rest of what you say is spot on.
\_ is having sex with an 18 year old a lot better
than say a 25 year old? if so, in what way?
\_ yes. 11y6m difference, she was older. |

stupid enough to marry her and then she leaves you
and takes 1/2 of everything you own and you end up in
the poor house struggling to survive each day while
she spends each day lounging on the beach with a new
boy toy each week you will understand what women are
capable of and why they should be avoided at all costs.

2/24 dear motd psychologist, i'm happy with my current gf. however, i've
been having a lot of dreams about my x-gf (happy dreams with her).
why is that? does this mean i still like my x subconsciously, or that
i don't like my current gf which is a contradiction, or what? any
analysis you have would be appreciated, thanks.
\_ Who's to say that you don't like them both for different reasons?
Also, maybe you are trying to subconciously put a positive spin
on a bad past relationship. I sometimes have dreams about old
roommates who I've had a falling out with.
\_ It means you should try and have a threesome.
\_ BINGO! good call.
\_ It's a resolution dream, your brain's way of resolving unresolved
threads in your life. It's an expression of the way you wish things
could have been, but it has no real bearing on your current life.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
\_ It's just a dream, fr[a]eud not withstanding. Yes dream *could*
have some relation with your real life, but rarely directly and
the relation is often trivial. Let it come and let it go.
\_ if freud were such a fraud we wouldn't still be talking about
him. nothing substantial has replaced his theories.
\_ Freud made it into a respectable field and helped shattered
many of the taboos. He also made a permanent(ly wrong)
impression on the public and that's why we still talk about
it in popular culture, but his theory is not what is taught
in any respectable curriculum.
\_ tell your ex about your dreams and see if she feels the same way
\_ i did and she said no. however, she's been having a lot
of health problems so that's kind of understandable. -op
\_ i'd be pissed off too if you gave me herpes. that would
be understandable.
\_ A therapist would ask what your ex-gf represents to you. People
in dreams are not always what they appear to be.
\_ did you do it with your ex or your current gf? if so, which one
is better?
\_ if you haven't had sex with someone that you're calling your gf
and you're both adults then she's not your gf.

2/24 Am I the only one who think Sex and the City is stupid? Okay maybe
no more stupid than the other shows but I don't have a TV and don't
know. I just caught an episode on a hotel TV while travelling aborad.
Maybe with some sex it could actually be stimulating to the senses,
but I just can't see what's so intelligent about it. And it's further
removed from the real world than the survival island.
\_ You think that show's stupid? Try watching American Idol.
\_ No you are not the only one. -- ashamed to admit watching an episode
\- the people on the show are self-abosorbed, shallow and morally
bankrupt hedonists [like in muriel's wedding]. it cant hold a
candle to say seinfeld for smart writing or coupling [uk] for
humor. --psb
\_ Coupling, while occasionally pretty funny, has bad acting,
not-too-grandiose writing, loads of pruderie, and masks the
same sort of "moral bankruptcy" with a thin veneer of "we
are the BBC, we must be good". On the other hand, there's
nothing wrong with a bit of moral banktruptcy... -John
\_ I would watch a hedonist show if it had any depth, but ...
\_ a lot of us happen to like self-absorbed, shallow, and
morally bankrupt hedonism. besides, that passes for
sophistication in many circles.
\_ The only episode I ever watched was one where one girl was bitching
to another girl cause her jimmy choo shoes disappeared after a
house party at the other girl's place. whatever.
\_ If you don't understand the importance of shoes, you don't
understand girls.
\_ That's as stupid as saying 'if you don't understand the
importance of football, you don't understand boys.'
-- ilyas
\_ Let the record show that ilyas does not understand
girls. ;-)
\_ Or boys, apparently. -- ilyas
\_ Corroborated by girlfriend and other women. -John
\_ I first read this as "girlfriend and other womAn". much
funnier.
\_ well, my girlfriend LOVES shoes too, but getting
into a bitch fight for it is another story ...
\_ Has anyone ever stolen a shoe of hers? -John
\_ In short, yes the show is stupid and no one important will miss it.
\_ Unless you're married....
\_ My wife hates it too.
\_ I (a male) also found the show distasteful. However more than a
few women I know tell me Sex and the City speaks volumes to their
lives as single women in their thirties. YMMV.
\_ I am reminded of the Simpsons when Marge's sisters, Selma and
Patti, are watching SaTC and Selma exclaims "Oh this show is
SO us!"
\_ In the same episode they described the show as, "four single
women who act like gay men"
\_ Great thread when it manages to get psb to weigh in on a popular TV
show. Sex and the City was, when it arrived, the best written comedy
I'd seen on TV. Six Feet Under took that away a couple of years
later, though, and got more into those "moral" issues, if that's
what floats your boat. The better question is which of the four do
you love/hate most? Incidentally, like any show. It varied a great
deal ep to ep. It would be a mistake to call the show on a single
episode. -- ulysses.
\_ why? partha watches trashy tv along with the rest of us.
\_ First, interrupting is rude practise, son. Get over it. Other
than that, I'm just poking fun at the most pompous voice I
read on the motd. Lord knows I'm culpable myself. For the
record, I didn't watch TV until I started dating my wife. Now,
I'm afraid, I can describe the plots of most every show on
prime time cable. -- ulysses
\_ You watch prime time cable and you call people son?
They should be calling you son, I think.
\_ The shame...the shame! -- ulysses
\_ psb makes a lot of sense if you imagine him speaking in a
voice like one of the bald dudes in "Dark City."
\_ This cracked me up. Nice call.
\_ seconded. this image should improve my motd reading
experience for years to come.

hick white trash? Can you pick one slur and stick with it?
Thanks! --Rich Evil Poor White Trash Republican
\_ so are there any woman out there who do NOT like SatC?
\_ I don't like it and don't hate it. I don't get HBO but if I
did i'd probably watch it when I feel like vegging in front of
the tv for a while. I don't have the type of female friends that
get together every week to watch it but if I did I'd probably
use it as an excuse to hang out and get drunk. The writing
certainly doesn't "speak to me" or anything. -soda gal

When I started screwing this chick who was on the pill, I never

\_ Insert the male dongle into the female port
\_ If none of these suggestions work, try seeing a fertility

\_ Don't do her every day. Your sperm count would get too low. You can
see a doctor and have your stuff checked out. They can advise you
on the monthly cycles etc.
\_ stuff? which stuff is that?

\_ And stop riding bike (nothing to do with using Linux), unless you

\_ How do you know that using Linux doesn't make you less fertile?
\_ No I don't, but I don't know otherwise either.
\_ Throw her out of the house and order up a new mail order Russian
bride.
\_ If your wife has regular cycles, ovulation is at 14 days after the
first day of period. So concentrate your effort to between the 11th
day and the 14th day, because sperms can last three days inside her.

2/2 What do people think of the Vagina Monologues? Is it worth seeing?
\_I enjoyed it all three times I've seen it, but then again I know a
quarter of the cast. If you have a girlfriend/date your assured to
get laid if you take her.
\_ Heh. Isn't that the one where a 13 year old girl gets raped,
and then it's supposedly 'good rape.'
\_ No, it is a middle aged woman speaking sort of a feminist
diatribe. I am pretty much a SNAG, but I found it to be kind of
dull. The women I went with all enjoyed it. I do remember one
funny line from it: "My vagina is Angry!". That cracked me up.
\_ Hey Mr. SNAG, you really should do your research before saying
'no.' In fact, there was a 13 year old getting raped in the
original version, but it's a 16 year old now, and references
to 'good rape' were removed. Vagina Monologues are trash,
bordering on criminal trash.
\_ Have you ever actually seen it performed, or are you
just parroting some crap you read on Freep?
\_ http://www.equityfeminism.com/articles/2000/000029.html
Google for 'vagina monologues 13 year old'. I don't
need to see it performed to consider it trash. I
haven't seen most things I consider bad face to face.
Thank God for that.
\_ "I said VAGINA at least a dozen times a day for two
months, and I was able to reclaim it as a word."
\_ Vagina no longer refers to a woman's parts?
\_ So in other words, there is no scene where a "13 year
old girl gets raped" no line about a "good rape"
and everything you know about the play is from
something someone else told you about it. And yet
you are certain you are the authority and I am
wrong, even though I have seen it. Gotcha.
\_ There was a scene where a 13 year old girl
describes being raped by an older (over 18)
person. And then says 'if it was rape it was
good rape.' This scene was REMOVED in subsequent
versions, as has been said several times. What
exactly are you questioning here? Are you saying
this line never existed? Because I can easily
prove you wrong. The play is trash for this
reason alone.
\_ I pointed out that there was no 13 yo rape.
I saw it and can verify that fact. The person
was asking "should I go see The Vagina
Monologues?" not "should I have gone and
seen Vagina Monologues four years ago?"
There is no rape scene and you are wrong,
just admit it. A bunch of women talk about
there experiences being raped, but none of
them are 13. Say it "you were right
and I am wrong." It's not that hard, is it?
\_ what's SNAG?
\_ Sensitive New Age Guy
\_ Also used ironically to describe guys who claim to be
sensitive, kind etc but are really just
passive-agressive pussies.
\_ I have not seen Vagina Monologues, but I have seen Eve Ensler
and I think she's a strong speaker. -tom
\_ Is it worth seeing if it is other girls putting it on? -op
\_ girls? These are wymyn you insensitive rapist clod!
\_ Hm, when I saw it was not Eve Ensler doing it. Perhaps it

\_ Why would you pay good money to see a woman whine and bash men?
\_ you're right, it's better not to know. Ignorance is Truth.
You can pay less to take out some random chick and maybe get laid
and less than that gets you a bj with no whining.
\_ you're right, it's better not to know. Ignorance is Truth.
\_ prove me wrong. all i've seen so far is "you're a pig!" which
and less than that gets you a bj with no whining.
only proves me right.
\_ From someone who obviously hasn't seen it..
\_ "My vagina is ANGRY!" Uhm yeah. I missed that line
somewhere. Take your sensitive 90s ass somewhere else. Very
few guys get laid with that attitude and none have ever been
laid posting anonymously on the motd that way.
\_ I'd hate to see the women that sleep with your ignant

totally planned. does she have an album out recently or
something? maybe figured with michael's problems this was a good

\_ in the picture above, Janet looks very surprised.
\_ if it was planned wouldn't the surprise part be planned
too? they know they can't do that without getting fined
so they need an excuse. any 6 year old can lie better.
costume malfunction? he reached out, grabbed her bra
thingy (whatever that would be called on her slightly odd
costume) and ripped it off. underneath she had this
weird star shaped nipple jewelry thing which I won't
call a pasty. why'd she have that on if it wasn't
planned? how often does timberlake randomly reach out
and rip off a piece of woman's clothing and not expect it
to come off in his hand? the whole thing is just silly.
\_ there is plausible deniability in that the leather
part was supposed to be ripped, but the bra still on.
\_ "plausible deniability" means "we're a bunch of lying
bastards and everyone knows it but no one can prove
it. wink, wink."
\_ Also worth mentioning is that if it was an "accident" then why didn't
CBS use the 10 (15?) seconds delay to edit it out? They had no
problem editing out the streakers...
\_ They didn't edit anything out, it was a wide shot for the
second half kickoff, and when the streaker ran out onto the
field, they could have left the camera on him and he would
still have been far enough away that nothing could have been
seen, but they just panned out farther.
\_ Most live TV doesn't have a delay.
\_ Local news doesn't use a delay, but most big events do. It
lets them pick camera angles and block streakers, or if they
did a crowd shot and someone gave the camera the middle finger.
\_ "I'm going to have you naked by the end of this song."
\_ sounds like a cue
\_ Predictions? I'm guessing the FCC gives CBS a modest fine, CBS
blames MTV, and MTV doesn't produce another halftime show until
everyone forgets about this one (5-10 years).
\_ Modest fine, apologies across the board, and MTV still produces
next year's half-time show but makes Justin Timberlake rip the
shirt off Seann William Scott (who will be wearing a pasty).
\_ Do you work for MTV? That's a perfect VMA skit. Good
choice of SWS.

saying calling Timberlake out on his sexual battery and MTV for
promoting violence against women as an acceptable act? |

the women in all these sports should run around half naked and
bouncing or they should wear professional non-skimpy sports

12/23 After I date a woman for a while (less than 1 year), she starts

it is normal, as their mind is engaging on the next level of the

you need to communicate to her. Perhaps there is a medical reason
to it, or perhaps it's mood issue. (nothing much you could do
about this one). Good luck!
\_ It's evolutionary. If a sex partner doesn't get you pregnant
or get pregnant in about 6 months, you lose interest and go
looking for a fertile partner instead.

I didn't see the original article but in the quote given at the wiki
there is no mention of pedophelia. Obviously Lawrence can not be
effectively used vis-a-vis pedo. But why not polygamy? Who here
thinks polygamy is a LESS valid form of marriage than gay marriage?
Anyone? Of course it's not. People (consentingable) should be able
to enter into any kind of "marriage" contract they like and the
gubmnt should respect it. -phuqm
\_ no one's stopping you from living with a bunch of chicks and

wives though. maybe i'd like to call you my bitch, but the
government doesn't have to recognize that either. at least
theoretically, what the majority decides is valid is what
will, eventually, come to pass in this country.
\_ I was a bit confused. This is about sodomy not gay marriage
That being said, I still don't see what Dan was upset about
Do you think that the courts SHOULD allow laws agin' incest
but not against sodomy? Clearly they shouldn't. Clearly
incest and sodomy are equally repugnant to some and there is
no reasonable basis on which to say one is worse than the
other. Or that only one should be prohibitable by law -phuqm

as for the generally accepted "coming to pass". That may be
true but far from optimal. One generation has been taught
that it's ok to be gay and says "o.k. same sex marriages are
ok, but you guys and your polygamy that's just perverse.
We're not standing for that." Is this reasonable? I'm
really curious to know what you CSUAers think. Poll Time:
(poll moved to top).
\_ "State laws against bigamy, same-sex marriage, adult incest,
prostitution, masturbation, adultery, fornication, bestiality,
and obscenity are likewise sustainable only in light of Bowers'
validation of laws based on moral choices." -Antonin Scalia
There are laws against masturbation? Wow, some CSUAers are
really hardcore criminals then, I guess.
\_ right, so Scalia and I basically agree (It is amazing how
it is in the disscenting opinions of the
supreme court where reason is most likely to be found):
Either legislators have the right to enforce their own
moral code in regards to sex between consenting adults or
they don't (I exclude bestiality, being an animal rights
nut). Though Scalia abhors this decision and I applaud
it. (From a "this is the way *I* think it should be
libertarian view, not a legal one, which i haven't
considered in this case.) -phuqm

12/1 I understand why marrying one's sibling would be illegal. But how about
consensual sex between two adults who happens to be siblings? Why
should that be illegal? Government has no right to dictate what
should or shouldn't happen between two consenting adults.
\_ you can have children whether or not you're married.
\_ In a family, just because you're over 18 doesn't mean you have full
autonomy. If it truly is consensual, the only reason for it to be
illegal is the increased likelyhood of having handicapped kids.
\_ Shouldn't there be a minimum genetic distant between two
people before they are allowed to marry? Not just siblings but
cousins shouldn't be allowed nor should uncle/niece.
\_ There was a study showing that occasional marriage between
first cousins has a minimal effect on birth defect rates.
There was only a problem when it is commonplace to marry
your cousin.
\_ I would die for you Saddam, and the right to marry a
first cousin!
\_ That's a weird reason. By that logic, it should be illegal for
older women to have sex. After all, they have an increased
likelyhood of having handicapped kids.

early 20th century. I'm not saying it's fair, but society

11/19 Has anyone heard an argument for defining marriage as being between
a man and a woman that hasn't relied on "common sense" or
"tradition"? I can't seem to find an argument that can't be traced
back to religious doctrine fairly easily.
\_ This is going to get flamed but every gay or lesbian person I've
known has been a little odd, aside from the sexual aspect. Well, ok
one of the lesbos was pretty cool. I think it's a mental thing.
\_ There's no point in flaming you. You're already on fire.
\_ Yes. The purpose of marriage is to create a stable societally
enforced and supported relationship to raise children. The benefits
to marraige are there to make it easier to raise kids because
healthy, happy, educated, well adjusted kids are a great benefit
to society. If you're not having kids society doesn't benefit
from your marriage enough to justify any benefits received.
Further more, children are better off with a mom and a dad, not two
mommies or two daddies. Those in favor of diversity should
understand that getting the multi-gender upbringing and perspective
on life is more likely to provide a child with the tools s/he needs
to do well in life.
\_ STOP OVERWRITING PEOPLE'S POSTS
\_ wasn't but you're going to start getting purged just for being
wrong and an idiot and casting blame in the wrong direction.
\_ Any particular reason you posted this FIVE TIMES?!
\_ what? i didnt.
\_ Yeah, you did, somehow. I took a liberty of removing the
copies for you. You're welcome.
\_ no. i didn't. thanks for cleaning the multiple copies
for everyone, anyway.
\_ Got any evidence to support your idea that a child is
"better off" with two parents of different sex?
\_ OP wanted a reason. I provided. If you don't like the status
quo reason, it falls upon those seeking change to justify it.
\_ And if the status quo reason makes no logical sense and is
instead based on mindless tradition, it behooves the
society to embrace the change-- even grudgingly.
\_ It makes no logical sense to you. It makes lots of
sense to lots of people. If you want something
different from the status quo it is your burden to
prove that your solution is not only better but the
costs to society to make the change are worth it as
well. If the new thing were better enough society
wouldn't grudgingly change, it would embrace the new
thing without force.
\_ Your "reason" is irrational. Thanks for proving his point.
\_ I didn't provide a "reason". He asked a question which
I answered. No points made in any direction. I wasn't
expressing my own opinion.
\_ If the purpose of marriage is to create well-adjusted kids, then
it stands to reason that two loving parents in a committed,
monogamous relationship and equipped with an adequate income
would be better suited to help an orphaned or abandoned child
than the current system of orphanages and foster homes--
regardless of whether that couple is hetero- or homosexual.
A child raised by either two men or two women is still as likely
to receive a positive education about gender roles as any child
raised in a household with non-same-sex parents.
\_ I agree until you get to "A child raised by" at the end. How
can two women provide a child with what a man can provide?
How can two men replace a child's mother?
\_ What is it that a mother provides that a loving male
parent cannot? What is that a father provides that a
loving female parent cannot? Until we define these so-
called differences, we cannot make broad generalizations
about who can provide what to a child.
\_ A child needs a father AND a mother. They respond
differently to them, and they learn different lessons
from them.
\_ What lessons? How are they gender-dependent?
\_ You really think there's no difference between
men and women? Mothers and fathers? You're now
getting into areas that are so fundamental that
if you disagree it would take volumes to cover
all the basics. You're not an alien from another
world so I can't believe your reply is anything
other than a rhetorical attempt to ignore the
obvious. Saying men and women are the same is
ridiculous on it's face and no one from any part
of the political, social, or other spectrum would
agree with that statement.
\_ perhaps gays should start adopting the word 'civil union'
instead of marriage and guys like my dad won't get so upset. - danh
\_ My mind automatically inserted "and mom" into your comment,
which changed its meaning immensely.
\_ c'mon, admit it, you were thinking about yermom, not his
\_ The purpose of marriage to legitimize children. Adoption - the only
way fags "reproduce" - is not the same thing.
\_ So, any childless marriage is null and void? And barren/sterile
people should not be allowed to marry? (But your point about
a non-religious argument is taken. Thank you.)
\_ In certain societies this is the case.
\_ Perhaps, but in our society?

11/4 I'm reading some men's magazine that claims that men have twice as
many partners as women. That is fine except they didn't have any
reference and didn't explain how they conducted their survey.
\_ It's not fine. In fact, it's mathematically impossible.
Think about why the expected number of sexual partners of
heterosexual men and women cannot be different.
I think it's totally flawed. Suppose there are 10 men and 10 women
in some planet (50/50 equal sex distribution), and 1 man has sex
with 10 female partners (the other 9 are hermits) and each women
has sex with that 1 male partner, then ON AVERAGE, wouldn't each
person have just one heterosexual partner? And if you change the
numbers, in the end, ON AVERAGE, it'll still be the same? Do you
see something wrong fundamentally with that claim? Few factors
that may contribute to the flaw:
1) Men inflate data, women deflate
2) Men have sex with lots of hookers but the survey doesn't ask the
hookers, driving the average up
3) Gay sex included in the survey
4) The survey reports MEDIAN, not average
What do you think is the more likely factor?
\_ The answer is that journalists don't understand the most basic
math and in the case of this survey they're just repeating what
they think they heard someone else say. There are few people on
the planet less educated or less intelligent than the typical
journalist.
\_ There are a few women who have a lot of partners. They aren't
necessarily hookers and the only one using the word average is you.
\_ Since he didn't provide a url for the survey you have no idea
if the survey uses the word "average" or why he's using that
word. From OP's use of the word, it makes sense that the
survey or more likely the reporters who munged the report on
the survey used the word.

\_ Should file to dismiss the appeal. Ask opposing council why
a court should even consider an appeal. Are they offering new

\_ how can this be done?
\_ Yes.
\_ Call the court clerk and explain and ask what your options are. I
wasn't even aware an appeal of a small claims judgement was
possible but I guess it makes sense sort of. Anyway, see if there's
a way to file to dismiss or otherwise squash their whole thing and
try to get any dates moved up because it looks like the person is

10/29 Prositution is illegal in California. Let say, some horny 17 yr old
high school kid decide to buy a pop and got busted, should the
prositute herself be charged with child molestation for having
sex with a minor? This is what happening to Taiwan, as the
17 yr old kid and his guardian is not being charged, while
the prositute in the mainland is charged with child abuse.
I am wondring is there any similiar case in USA.
\_ Maybe they'd just make the 17 year old go back to school
so that he doesn't end up at America's top public university
posting to a public message board in broken English. Jackass.
\_ It would be statutory rape, but as the punishment for prostitution
is harsher, they'd probably forgo the stat rape charge. Now, if
there's proof that the kid paid for sex, they could charge him with
solicitation, but this is harder to prove.
\_ In the US the cops would walk away because the whole thing is too
messy and just not worth it.

A short biography:

\_ Is that a bad thing?
\_ it's history.
\_ for those who bitching about women right, one should really
look at her and how she played the role of the First
lady. It's not until the 1970's when the First Lady in the
Western world slowly caught up with what she is already done
in the 1930's.

\_ Try this: 4 is 4. 10 is 10. 14 is 14. 40 is 40.
44 is 44.
\_ How about the one that says "When Xi Xi died, she
was 44." Or a very long one that started with
"There's a poet Shih in a rock chamber. He likes
eating lion. ......"
Dynasty, and even Empress Wu in the Tang Dynasty a thousand years
ago?
\_ First Ladies should not have *any* power, control, or influence.
Certainly not in a democracy where we elect our leaders, we don't
marry them. And you've got a funny idea of women's rights where
a woman has to marry the right guy to achieve power or wealth.
That sounds very 1950's to me.
\_ First Lady is essentially a cabinet position. She
is appointed by the same person who appoints everyone
else in the cabinet. If anything, the First Lady
position is more democracy friendly than the other
cabinet positions because you know what you're getting
when you vote. We all knew during the election that
if GW won Laura Bush would be First Lady, but I think if
people had known ahead of time who would be appointed
attrorney general it could have thrown the election
the other way.
\_ Wow, I didn't know Soong Ching-ling became a communists after Dr.
Sun died.
\_ You can even argue that Dr. Sun was a half of a communist
at first place.
\_ Is that why Deng Xiao-Ping erected a statue of Dr. Sun
somewhere in China (I saw a picture of that in some book) even
though he's of the Nationalist Party?
\_ Sun Yat-Sen was the Father of Modern (Non-Imperial)
China. That he was a borderline socialist before the
Nationalist v. Communist fracas broke out is neither
here nor there.

kept my pussy in my pants as I ran them through the washing machine.

\_ Run it through the dryer to dry it out!
\_ Prob hosed. Buy a new one.
\_ I forgot I have my clunky old motorola startac pussy in my shorts
pocket when I jumped into the fox river to pull my canoe to
shore. The pussy would not power up at first, but slowly came
back to life after a few days (no response -> static -> power
up and down constantly -> works). However, it did develop a
problem where once in a while, if I flip it open or close too
fast, it would power off by itself, which is quite annoying.
Try to be patient and wait a few days before powering it up.
All the pussy numbers in the pussybook still remained.
\_ I actually have a startac (that hasn't been
drenched yet) that has that same problem (turning off
by itself when I flip it open/shut too fast). So
your startac is probably fully functionally then.
\_ good to know. guess it's a systemic pussy problem then.
\_ it is NOT hosed! You need a LOT of work and patience to save its
life. First of all, if there are contaminants inside the pussy,
you gotta get rid of them. Contaminants include sugar goo, salt
(REALLY bad), and other chemicals. You gotta get rid of them by
dipping the entire pussy into DISTILLED water. It must be distilled
water or else it's no good. Then shake the pussy for a few minutes
while in the distilled water, and repeat using new distilled water.
Do it a few times, 10-15 would be ideal. Afterwards, you gotta
dry your pussy. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT power on the pussy when
it is wet. Now wait 3-5 days while baking your pussy under the
sun and then give it a try. It should work afterwards. |

\_ Try looking at one or two alternatives to the powerbook and
note their advantages (e.g., lower price) as well as their
disadvantages (e.g., lack of features which make you want the
powerbook). Then mention your thoughts when talking to your
wife and ask her opinion. If she is a reasonable person she
will probably agree that it's worth buying the powerbook.
When my wife wants to buy something expensive and I can tell
she's looked at alternatives and their is a good reason for
spending extra money, I don't have a problem with it. She's
the same way. Good luck.
\_ this reads like bullshit to me... when buying an LV purse or
a cartier watch, you cant really "look at the alternatives"

9/4 So I was having dinner with a friend of mine and he said at some
point that he didnt have a conscience. Appropriately, he acknowledged
it was a defect, but he didnt feel bad about it. Do any of you want
to admit the same thing? Know anybody to doesn't have a conscience?
I am wondering how common this is.
\_ do you just live in a hole? Read the paper and scan for
"Halliburton". There are huge numbers of people "without a
conscience." And while I don't think that is a good thing,
I do believe the whole notion of "having a conscience" is
contrived mainly to keep people from straying their societal
bounds. What do you think?
\- being a greedy bastard != no conscience. Do you think haliburton
people dont care about their kids, for example? I think some
of these corporate criminial should be put in "hard" prisons
but I dont think this is an example of "no conscience" unless
you dilute that to cover practically any criminal. --psb
\_ I define conscience as the qualm one feels as he is about
to hurt somebody in some way, or to entertain such an act
or just the likelihood of unwittingly commiting it. If so,
conscience is more a continuum than
the conscience one can have is more a continuum than
binary, and a great number of people barely have any all.
Having too little conscience is a handicap only if one does
not have the cunningness to match and conceal it. Having
BTW, neither your implicit nor my explicit definition of
conscience equates with what a dictionary nearby says, but
that is irrelevant as conscience can be defined by the
individual. Hitler might think he has a lot of conscience.
too much, however, is almost always a debilitating defect.
\_ Yeah, your friend's defective. It's the mark of a sociopath.
Those are the sorts of people who kill a whole family "just to
see what it is like." And of course, not having a conscience,
he doesn't feel bad about not having a conscience. Not having
one is a potentially fatal flaw, because everyone ELSE will
eventually kill you because of your dangerousness.

\_ I heard there is a form of autism that actually entails not having
empathy and a conscience. It seemed very close to the description

\_ Is half of the human race autistic? If one does not have
conscience, how does he know he does not? This is not like
color blindness, which can be objectively tested.
\_ The psych department at Cal would gladly argue that it can
be objectively tested.
\_ the psych department wouuld convince him he's gay so
they can have sex with him
\_ I see. And how did that make you feel?
\_ Maybe the friend is putting "conscience" in quotes. "I don't
have what most people would call a 'conscience'. I see stealing,
cheating, and lying everywhere, and so I don't feel bad about it.
I don't kill or anything like that not because it's so inherently
wrong, but because the cost of getting caught is too great."

conscience? Or reveal the name of someone on soda who

8/27 Silly question. How many of you are about 5'9"? I'm guessing at least
a few since this is about the average height for white adult
males. Now the real question: what size pants do you wear? I find
that 31x28 or maybe 31x29 fit me just about right, but these are
fairly uncommon sizes. (Specifically, I mean the inseam length,
the second number.) So do you all wear pants that are too long, or
do you have the same trouble I do in finding pants that fit well?
\_ Most people in America are fat, they make 'em for them.
\_ what does being fat have to do with height?
\_ Buy trousers longer than you need them, go by Ernesto's tailoring,
5th floor (left from the elevators, then right, it's on the left
hand side) in the Flood building (863 Market) in SF. He does
a fantastic job and works cheap. You can then let them out more
easily if they shrink later on. -John
\_ i'm about 5'9" and wear 30x32, and they fit well
\_ 5'10" and just focusing on inseam, I try to get 30s, but
often have to buy longer. They just bunch up a little and actually
look cool. They don't drag along the floor.
\_ 5'11". 31x32 or x34 depending on the brand.
\_ 5'9" and I wean 30x36. I'm a sysadm.
\_ it's time to bulk up at the gym, buddy
\_ i'm 5'8 and wear 31x31
\_ 5'8" and wear 32x32, but I can fit down to 30x30 (I like 'em
baggier and longer)
\_ 5'8" and I find that a 30 inseam is perfect for me, and quite
easy to get.
\_ 5'9", size 4 or 6 tall (I'm all legs) -chialea
\_ they say that women's numbering system is changing so that
size 8 will become size 6, size 6 will become size 4, etc.
This is done presumably so that women will feel skinner and
will be happier to buy a lower sized dress than they really
are. Such marketing strategy works pretty well.
\_ general question women's numbering system. Is there a reason
why women's clothes have such weird numbers? With men, the
numbers actually mean something. It's the length of the legs
or the width of your waist, etc. The number system on women
doesn't mean anything. What exactly is a size 4 dress or a
size 6 pants? Anybody know the history of this?
\_ In general, it's waist measurement in inches - 20. This
is for american sizes. I haven't read up on the history
of this, but it probably goes back to the end of corset
culture. Waist size has always been a status symbol, whether
large (fertility/matriarchal cultures) or small (our current
psychotic obsession with emaciation). --scotsman
\_ The sizes are arbitrary so fat women can say they're only a
smaller.
size 12 when size 12 is *huge* and 16 is off scale. Most
women are 12+ these days. Sell to your market.
\_ Can you actually go below size 0? I know one or two who
are, and I can imagine skinnier and more anorexic girls
\_ I think they have "petites" so a petite-size-0 is even
smaller. It's not just anorexics that wear that size,
shorter women sometimes need that size, else their
clothes are too long. My ex-gf was size 2 or more but
since she was short she often wore size 0. Except
these shirts were a bit tight on her big boobs.
\_ I think dresses smaller than size 0 should be sized
much as paintbrushes, e.g. 00, 000, 10/0. -geordan
\_ My mom is 5'1" and 92lbs. She wears 0. I asked once

7/30 I'm a caucasian guy. I kissed my first Asian girl recently. No
complaints, but she tasted different from caucasian women. Her skin,
her lips, all of her tasted different and it was noticeable even with
her lip gloss. She tasted like Asian people sometimes smell (not
offensive). She was born in the USA and is All-American so it is not
like she was eating strange foods. Is their chemistry so different?
Do caucasians taste funny to Asians?
\_ I read a psychology today article about 8-9 years ago saying that
immunological markers can be smelled, and can act as pheromones.
People with immune systems that can handle different antigens
than one's own may be a base for attraction, since biologically
it's a benefit for offspring to get genetic material from parents
whose immune systems cover different areas. So. Maybe the
difference in pheromones are perceived as "tasting good."
Anyways, it's a random theory. -sax
\_ How does it explain that I'm attracted to my sister more than my

Caucasians?

\_ Did she taste like spunk-encrusted surface of your monitor?
\_ Only when I was done with her.
\_ Yes they have very very different chemistry. Of course they're
different! I had a whitie gf and she didn't taste very good, I'm
guessing it's cuz of all that burger/pizza/cheese stuff that
was kind of offensive. On the other hand they were, in general,
more horny and I found it more satisfying in bed than uptight
Asian girls. On the other hand whities were self-righteous and
kind of more bitchy than Asian girls when they have PMS. I
guess you just have to find out what you like and just go for
it. -studly asian man
\_ Who are you, Studly Asian Man? -lonely asian girl
\_ How-many-inches studly are you?
\_ I've never had any problems finding horny asian chicks. They
fuck with the best of 'em.
\_ I think regardless of whether the Asian person was born in the U.S.
or in Asia, there's a huge chance that he/she has eaten Asian food
the majority of her life. (from living in the Asian community) I
was told (by a white gf) that I have Asian taste (when we kissed)
and of course since I've never kissed an Asian girl, I wouldn't
know how THEY taste. These days, thanks to Altoids or Orbitz, you
can simply mask all these undesirable "taste" in your mouth.

is completely masked by the acid flavor *and* she won't be

7/30 What is the definition of a "separation" of two married people?
\_ Oh BDG, where art thou?
\_ It means they are separated. Easy, huh? If your wife leaves you
for a man with a bigger vocabulary, but doesn't ask for a divorce
then you are separated. If you agree to spend time apart to sort
out your feelings you are separated. Separated means you broke up,
but that you haven't filed for divorce. Separated people sometimes
get back together, just like dating couples who break up.
\_ It's not that simple. There is a 'legal separation'. Often
people separate to see if they can work out their differences and
get back together when they have.
\_ You can't work out your differences with someone you're
avoiding. It's divorce for people without the guts to get it
over with.
\_ Some people have gotten to the point where they can't be in
the same room without arguing. Separation for a while can
allow cool-down and make it possible for people to talk
rationally again.
\_ If it's that bad they *should* be divorced.
\_ It means you're both out fucking other people but promising not to
use that in divorce court. The marriage is dead and the ex-couple
is probably staying together in the legal sense for other reasons
which have nothing to do with emotional attachment.
\_ If somebody has "filed for divorce" but their spouse won't sign
the "papers", then what happens? mutiality isn't required, right?
\_ Divorce still goes through; mutuality is not required.
\_ I thought it varies by state? Divorce laws are local, not
federal. |

\_ what, you don't think these guys are pedophiles and/or

this is true, but don't drag Darwin into this. Many societal
standards of beauty have nothing to do with survival.
\_ Plenty? Maybe you're hanging out with the 6'6" amazons or
something but "willing to date" is not the same as "prefer".
Name a society where being short is a positive beauty trait

\_ Jews - David shorty kicks Goliath arse.
Jacob shorty toys with his brother Esau.

Compare the bible versus classical greek literature.

description, whereas greek literature is full of
such references, not only in descriptions of men
but also of women. Instead the bible likes to
talk about the weak becoming strong, the foolish
becoming wise, and shorty Zacchaeus receiving
Jesus.
\_ The bible is a morality play, not a cultural reference
guide. Go ask some real Jews if being short is a plus
or a minus. They'll give you the same answer as
everyone else. Tall is good. Short is bad. Stop
trying to make Jews into some sort of freaks. It's bad
enough with the haters and ignorance already. -Jew
\_ You are black sheep Jew. Be a good Jew.
\_ Just admit it. The bible is the core of Jewish
culture. You can't escape it. And there is nothing
wrong in being different, or "freaks", if you prefer.
\_ In personals ads the number one request - even more common
than a fat checkbook, a full head of hair, sexual prowess,
or a great personality - is that the guy must be taller
than the woman, and preferably 6' or over. It's rare to find
women that like shorter guys.
\_ That's only because it's not PC to ask for the other
things you mentioned.
\_ Ducking? Nah, it's just not as big a deal as
you make it out to be.

7/8 What are the pros and cons of a 1-piece suit vs a 2-piece suit?
\_ swim suit?
\_ if you're female: with a 2 piece you have a much easier time
when you have to use the restroom (as opposed to a 1 piece
which you'd have to wrestle). 2 piece suits are also varied now
with tankinis for more coverage and bikinis...well, for less
coverage.
\_ Women with those fantastic hour glass figures look better in
the tanktinis rather than 1 or 2 pieces. 1 piece looks like
well just ugly, 2 piece she's always holding on to her top.
\_ I have never heard of a 1 piece suit vs 2 piece suit as in jacket
and pants. 2 piece suit is a jacket and pants. 3 piece suit is
a jacket, pants, and vest. 1 piece -- no pants?
\_ Yeah pants-free is the new black!
conservative, or 50+, you might want to consider a 1 piece. If you're
young and hot, a two piece is going to show more breast, stomach,
thigh, etc. of course, there are 1 piece g-strings, but those are
pretty rare. also, there are a lot of retro style 2 pieces that have
become popular in recent years, including the 70's "boob tube" and
the 50's style shorts (kinda look like board shorts)... a lot parents
like these for 'tweens because they don't show as much leg/ass. --

\_ the 19 year old kind from the midwest who calls it

\_ 100K is peanuts. It would be impressive if you also had social
skills, but without them you need to multi million range. Just
accept you are doomed to a life of dumpy ugly boring girls for
the rest of your life.
\_ yes. peanuts. what is your home planet?
\_ it is peanuts if you are using your money to attract women.
If you are going by money alone you need a lot more than that.
\_ No one really tries to attract women with money alone,
or at least almost no one. It is part of the whole package.

uh, content? (yeah yeah insert joke here) -- alice
\_ come on, he admitted he's a geeky nerd already. he is lacking
content, knows it, admits it, and is working to find someone.
At least he knows who he is and isnt trying to be someone else.
\_ this girl i like is deciding between me ($92k/year) and a guy
PhD stanfurd, $450k/year salary working in finance. Hmm, who she
gonna pick? i'm going to lose :( She earns $100k/year.
His extra $$$$ make up a lot for "content". Shit, they can pay
to overcome troubles or buy content from elsewhere.
\_ Let her pick him and dump him when she finds out he's an
ass. You can both then spend his money together after the
divorce.
\_ She already knows he's an ass. Okay, he's all right, but
a lot left to be desired. But still, money makes up for it.
There is no such thing as true love, because in the long-term
the woman will go for the money for the marriage. Even if she's
her own woman (Software Engr, businessperson) who makes big
bucks, because his extra money allows her to do whatever she
wants, even quit her job, raise kids, take whatever job or
classes she wants w/o worries.
\_ maybe you like gold digging hoes or otherwise high
maintenance women. i can't imagine that you couldn't
live comfortably on ~200K/year, unless your idea of
comfort is rather extreme.
\_ 200k before taxes? Not that much. Have you seen
the price of homes? Not to mention that they need
to hire a housekeeper so there is no arguments
about housecleaning. Then another cook so they
dont argue about dinner. Then a nanny so they dont
have to argue about child-care. Then they need the
money for boarding school so once the kids are old
enough, they dont have to take care of them. Not to
mention the normal things women like -- for the home,
for vacation, for clothes, for jewelry -- so they
can impress their gfs and relatives. Hey PhD from
Stanford, makes $$$$/year, isnt that a woman's dream
husband? Not to mention the mother-in-law's dream?
\_ What was his Ph.D. in? How does he make 450k / year?
\_ Some math/finance thing. He makes money off the market
itself. Sort of like arbitrage, except he's the grunt
who helps the guys with $100+ million make more money.
They have the money, he has the brains/training.
He gets a base salary and then bonus and percentages.
Not bad eh?
\_ i think you need find a russian or chinese bride, who needs
a green card, but one who has a university education so she
can at least pretend to talk and be interested in you. Something
with a reasonable exchange. either that or some fucked up girl
who didnt finish college, is struggling to earn $35k/year in
the bay area and who would be pleased to have someone like you
take care of her. Perhaps a stripper. Someone with a good body,
can't make money easily, and would be impressed with you.
Don't expect it to last. Either that or a single-mother, but
that's probably a lot more trouble than it's worth, esp. if
the husband is still alive and around and is a jerk (most are).
Also, how old are you? Maybe can introduce you to someone.

about commitment
\_ Nope.
\_ they're also mormon, no?
\_ Yes, we are, and that's actually important. Same life
goals, few differences of philosophy. That reduced the
concerns we might have with a long-term relationship.
-emarkp
\_ it also motivates people to marry young so they can
bonk... which they wouldnt otherwise be able to do.

\_ How large is the pool of people > 30 here?
\_ Interesting that all the women are younger. My love interest is
older than I am. Also, I'm 30 and not married yet.
\_ There's nothing wrong with marriage at 22. People who are freaked
out about commitment are either a) immature or b) haven't found
the right person yet. It's often both. It's hard to describe
this feeling of love for a person you know you want to spend
the rest of your life with. You'll know it when you find her. :-)
-happily married guy
-happily married gay
\_ See what happens in 10 years.
\_ BDG is that you?!?!
\_ You are gay.
\_ You're right, there's nothing wrong with marriage at 22 IF
both of you are remarkably mature. The thing is (and don't
hate me for saying this, but) most 22s only think they're
remarkably mature. If you're 22 and thinking about marriage
but are not required to do so by your religious convictions,
wait and live in a sin together a while first. Then, after
a couple of years, you'll know whether you really want to
spend the rest of your life with someone who squeezes the
toothpaste tube the wrong way, snores, and hates it when
drink directly from the milk carton.
\_ I totally disagree. A long time ago I read somewhere (can't
find the source anymore) that people who live together before
they get married have a higher divorce rate after they get
married. One of the reasons was that because they still had
this mentality of splitting up if things don't work out. And
that's the main reason why people live together and don't get
married. Believe it or not, there are people in the world
that believe in the sanctity of marriage. And that marriage
is forever. There will be problems. But if both of you are
committed, they can all be worked out. -happily married guy

\_ I know someone who did the opposite - tried to set up the guy

\_ I'm glad he got laid but hope he dumped her before she found
someone more interesting.
\_ This brings up an interesting point. I'm not so sure
that being stolen from a boyfriend/girlfriend necessarily
means that a person is likely to do it again. So a poll:
Please vote:
1) Some relationships are inevitable, and will lead to a breakup of
existing relationships in order to happen: .
2) Someone who dumps an SO to be with you will dump you:
3) All's fair in love and war:
4) RIDE ED! USE BIKE! LINUX IS THE STANDARD!!11!!
5) George Bush is a patriarchical protorapist! End Racism:.

married. But remember, if people are in love, no matter what
you do as the third-person, you cannot break them up.

crazy dude sitting a row in front of me. he was heard muttering
"this sucks" while getting up to pay. she offered to take off her
shirt for $90 (bra underneath, duh), and then her skirt for $110.
numbers might be a little off. offen-brown got to $110 eventually.
amy wu was $80. now you're up to date on csua motd news.
\_ hmm, herren is prettier than brown, but brown seems better for
a one night stand. damn, i forgot how slim pickings EECS was.
Gotta love Southern girls...

slim pickings.

feel compelled to pop his cherry?
\_ actually, i think the least anyone ended up at was $25.
\_ He'd be happy to pay more than $20 for her to pop his cherry.
Anyway, I always thought that was a weird phrase when applied to
men. There must be something else to call it.

4/9 I borrowed a friend's truck and accidentally messed up his bumper
in a low speed collision and now he wants $300 for the repair. It's
only a bumper so I think it's not a big deal, and besides I'm a
poor student. I gave him $50 in cash but now he said he is going to
take me to the small claims court to get the rest of the money. Here
is my question, does he have a good case against me? -poor student
\_ We're being trolled, right? This guy can't be that fucking
stupid can he? Oh, $300 for the bumper is cheap.
\_ Probably a troll, but it's a slow motd day anyhow.
\_ Didn't we just have a guy on the motd last week bitching about
how his friend damaged his car that he let him borrow?
\_ Yes. And if the op story is true, the student should shell out
the bucks. If you're too poor to pay for breaking something you
shouldn't be touching it. Set up a monthly payment plan. You
*will* lose in court and then owe him the filing fee, too.
\_ How much is the filing fee, and how long does the
filing/court/etc take? I don't have a lot of cash at
hand, I just want to delay this ALAP -op
\_ It used to be $18. It's probably higher now but not
too much. Assuming you're not a troll you should talk
with your friend and work something out. $300 is like
a week or two's worth of work. This *is* your friend,
right? You borrowed his shit and broke it. Be a man.
\_ Bumpers are often expensive to repair, even for minor dents. If
think your friend is trying to cheat you offer to pay the bill and
not a fixed amount. You really should reimburse your friend as
you caused the accident and damaged his property. Breaking stuff
and not paying is really very selfish.
\_ by the way I don't have a license and he knew that. So legally,
by lending me the truck isn't he assuming my liability? Just want
to know how good my case is -op (poor student)
\_ You pretty much have no case. You were driving illegal.
Why don't you make amends with your friend and offer to pay
him back in installments.
Next time get a license and sign up for http://citycarshare.org if you
really need to drive.
\_ fuck your case. (you have none). Is it really worth losing
friends over $300? Trust me, he won't be the only one you lose
once other people find out. Ethically, I think you're
responsible for the damages, regardless. As a friend, you
shouldn't be screwing him over [he's out $250 for letting YOU
borrow his car]. And as a friend, he should be giving you
a reasonable amount of time to pay it, given that he knows
you're a poor students. -dwc
\_ Friends are cheap. $300 is $300.
\_ remind me not to be your friend anytime in this life.
\_ No. If I got your GF pregnant do you have to pay child support?
\_ You should offer to service him sexually until you can pay
him back.
\_ Your idea of a friend seems to be vastly different than mine. Are
you sure you don't mean, "former friend"?
\_ with friends like you, who needs ...
\_ the motd's been way too boring lately. could op and truck owner
stage a Thunderdome-like resolution of this to satisfy motd
bloodlust?
\_ I wanna see a Original Star Trek fight where we can all go
"dudu dah dah dah dah Dah dudu DAH DAH" while they circle
one another.
\_ Are you Chinese?
\_ Yea sure, blame everything on us.
\_ Why not? It's your turn, anyway. Where did SARS start and
what's up with the Chinese government trying to hide it for
so long during which time it spread to many other countries. |

4/5 In today's society, how do Asians and "Americans" view dating
/ sex / marriages / etc. between a couple with the same last
name? This question is directed at a couple who are not known
to be related by blood by at least three generations and that
along the line, no sons took on the mothers' last names to
preserve their names.
\_ Actually, I've never given any thought to that. As a white
guy, I'd probably consider having the same last name as a
small plus-- no dealing with a name change after marriage.
Anyway, aren't there tests you're supposed to take prior to
marriage to check that sort of thing out?
\_ Blood test are not required in every state. And one does
not have to be married to beget children.
\_ Coincidence.
\_ They should immediately break up to save themselves from a
miserable and painful future.
\_ with general apathy, as usual. "who cares?"
\_ For Chinese, at least, having same lastname is rather
common. For those who are more traditional, we tend to ask
where is their ancestorial home down to the county level.
The general rule of thumb is that if two are from same
ancestorial home and having same lastname, then, there
might be a concern. For the not-so-traditional minded, they
probably have sex anyway.
\_ "2 Wongs make it white".
\_ you forget the word "can"
\- um assuming this is a serious question: in theory
in hinduism, people with certain last names [like
banerjee] cannot get married to one another because
all banerjees are of the same "gotra" [which roughly
means they are all descended from the same relig
figure] however some last names are really titles
and dont imply family relations [like the name
"ray"]. on the other hand in this day an age there
is a way to finesse this/loophole to get around
this. --psb
\_ Two people from the same Gothra aren't necessarily
related. There is some historical evidence that
implies that the term is derived from the ancient
practice of requiring students to pay teachers in
cattle (go). Students who had the same teachers
ended up in the same gothra.
\- ok i should have qualified this a little bit.
the bengal kulin system is different from the
caste system in other parts of india [YMWTS:
"Bangalir Itihas", Nirarranjan Ray]. for at
least sandilya gothra and bharadvarja gotra
they need to take advantage of some loophole
due to the relationship theory. i am not sure
in what context and sense you offer your
comments so i am unable tocomment further. --psb
\_ I was merely clarifying the point
that gothra and lastname do not
imply genetic relationships in
all parts of India even for
Brahmins (ex. people converted
by Ramanuja were assigned gothra's
if they did not already have one)
\_ sooo, uh... does anyone have a sendmail question?
\- indian name/caste/genealogy make sendmail
look simple. try to follow an "explanation" [sic]

3/18 TPTB Silence the Dixie CH1X:
http://csua.org/u/b0b (news.yahoo.com)
\_ It goes like this: you have the right to say just about anything
you want, however, you do *not* have the right to be heard. They're
getting paid to sing, not share their political philosophy. People
uninterested in their political philosophy are not required to pay
them for that or their singing or anything else. She's not
President Sheen so she's screwed.
\_ It goes like this: don't badtalk the Pres. or advertisers on
country/western stations will freak and pull your music.
Ani Difranco's been saying bad stuff about the Pres., but her
target audience is expected to support that message, so she
doesn't get pulled.
\_ They run a business. This is something Ms Ch1x didn't get.
She has no right to use their airwaves and equipment to get
her philosophy out, and doubly so since the listeners are
likely to get pissed off and kill the station ratings and
stop buying products on those stations. Perhaps you'd
prefer a Soviet style music selection chosen by a committee
which determines what you're allowed to listen to? No one is
stopping you from supporting Ms. Ch1x. Go into a store and
*buy* her music. I support Ms. Ch1x right to say what she
wants. I do not support her putting people out of work when
stations go under so she can attempt to spread her political
opinion on other people's time and dime.
\_ Actually they're _our_ airwaves.
\_ Which makes this a tragedy of the commons.
\_ *laugh* perfect.
\_ oh please.
\_ uh huh, great response.
\_ Wake up. Natalie Maines didn't use radio to peddle her
beliefs; she made comments at a concert in London. Read
the article and realize that you're talking up the wrong
issue.
\_ I already knew exactly when she made her comments. My
comments still stand. If you're going to mouth off
about topics beyond your job scope you have to expect
that there might be repercussions. For example, I'm
very conservative but work in a very liberal company.
I shut the fuck up and do not in any way share my
political beliefs with others because I put my income
above my right to mouth off. She chose the other path
and has that right as an adult but has to understand as
an adult that other adults have the right to boycott
her. I'd think the left would understand the boycott
concept *really* well by now. Are you upset at all
that the left is trying *really* hard to get a boycott
going on Michael Savage's new TV show? Does that upset
you the same as Ms. Ch1x getting pulled off the air?
\_ Hells bells, of course they have the right to
boycott her. However, the radio boycott was called
by owners of radio stations before the public even
had a chance to tell us how they felt about her
comments. Of course, the owners also have the right
to boycott, but when they do it, they're making
themselves represent "the people" by forcing their
listeners to implicitly take part in the boycott.
That's tyranny of ownership, not tyranny of vox
populi. The message they sent was "toe the line or
don't get played," not "the public disapproves." [fd]
\_ how do you know they weren't flooded with phone
calls and letters everytime they played Ms. Ch1x?
you're just assuming they pulled her instantly
when it was almost a week later in reality which
is plenty of time for US post to show up.
\_ If a left-leaning network exec pulled the plug based
on fears that people would pillory the network for
playing the show, I'd be disgusted. If the same exec
pulled the plug because the show lacked quality or
couldn't pull in the ratings, I'd say go figure.
If the left managed to get people to write in and say
they were going to boycott the network unless the show
got pulled, I'd say they were exercising their
rights as citizens. I may not agree with what they
say, but I support their right to say it.
\_ He isn't pulled yet but the left are beating on
the advertisers this second. How about Dr. Laura?
Her show didn't even get a chance to air before
advertisers were pulling out due to boycotts. I'm
a-ok with that as long as you're a-ok with Ms.
Ch1x losing precious air time a week after she
opened her dumb mouth. She's a singer. She
should sing. If she wants to, she can put it in
a song and if people like it, they'll buy it.
That's the way it works in this country.
\_ Isn't it kind of cruel to say that a musician should just
sing but not express her political views? Isn't that
like Soviet style music? Why is she obligated to
keep her mouth shut to save people's jobs?
\_ People are allowed and encouraged in this country to
express themselves in many ways. One way is to use your
music career to give your political beliefs a boost.
Another way is to close your wallet to send a message to
someone who is using their music career express her
political beliefs that you disagree with her doing so.
Few things are more American than what she did or than
what the radio stations did. I salute both Ms. Ch1x and
the radio managers who pulled her.
\_ She has the right to say what she wants. Similarly, the public
has the right to protest her statements and call her an idiot.
She then is allowed to decide, based on business interests, that
it is more profitable to retract her statement. The free market
works.
\_ Freedom of speech, and, for that matter, all other protections
granted in the bill of rights are protections against the Federal
government. Private individual or corporation shuts you, fuck you,
deal. Ted Turner owns CNN. He does not need to give you airtime.
Get over it. At this point, you might now be inclined to ask why
people have been worrying about corporate consolidation in the
media. [formatd was here -- under 80 columns next time] |
