Oh dear me. You mean from old testament times? Or new testament times? Or joseph smith times? Here's a few, just for fun: - owning slaves is okay - having sex with your wife's sister is okay - having sex with your nanny is okay - having sex with your mom or your sister is okay - it's okay to kill non-believers - it's okay to stone adulterers - it's okay to kill childre

Oh my, so let me get this straight: If I correctly identify religious ideology as such, then I'm a bigot? My opinion: Ideas & beliefs are not people. Rather, people are people. Like Axel said previously, islam is a horribly stultifying, barbaric, misogynistic, xenophobic, repressive, prurient, ugly, violent, suffocating belief system. However, this does not reflect on how I feel about

Oh, and how about the couples that have a conjoined account? WTF is up with that? Talk about boundary and codependency issues.

And I'm sure I'll get toasted for this, but I also don't like PDA on facebook, i.e., today is our our 17th anniversary, I'm so lucky to have . . . , she's the most wonderful . . . , he's the flame to my candle . . . , barf. God, I hope I don't do that too much. Talk about humblebragging.

But that's just the thing. For me, it's not wasted time. My hate for my ex has helped protect me, and my kids, post-divorce. On numerous occasions. It's not a blind hatred, mind you. It's a hatred of catching the flu. Or of getting sunburned. Or of losing all my cash to a ponzi-scheme financier. It's an eyes-wide-open kind of a hatred. And it's saved my bacon, a lot, for the last 17

My ex humped her dad's best friend the last 3 years of our marriage. I was devastated emotionally. That's forgivable. My ex was able to exit our marriage with almost ALL of our assets & monies, and with none of our debt. I was devastated financially. That's also forgivable. My ex then proceeded to use every tool she had at her disposal to alienate the children from me.

I hate my stepmonster too hawk. She's a prurient prude, socially inept, has a baby piglet face, told me that I finally have a real mom shortly after her and dad married, and is forever overstepping her boundaries. (Example: Every time we move, she sics the new bishop and missionaries on us. We don't give her, or my dad, our new addresses any more. All they get is a PO Box.) But. When

Mosquitos are apparently good pollinators as well: http://www.mosquitoreviews.com/mosquitoes-niche-pollinate.html I guess there is something useful about mosquitos after all. ;)

Oh my, I'm 53, and still shocked at the antiquated (and unhealthy) notions carried by many here at RFM related to sex. Here, let me make it easy: Virtue ≠ Virgin Virgin ≠ Value Moral ≠ Lots of Clothes Immodest ≠ Too Few Clothes Likes Sex ≠ Bad Likes Orgasms ≠ Really Bad Women ≠ Emotional Bimbos Men ≠ Testosterone-Addled Pigs Porn ≠ Addiction Good lord already.

Personally, I would much rather have a partner that knows her body, that understands her sexuality, that is comfortable "in the sack", that loves to self-pleasure frequently, that is "experienced" in comparison to somebody that "is pure". And to possess the sexual attributes that I appreciate in a woman means she's probably had more partners than just me. Hoora

Good point koriwhore. The judeo-christian god is pretty goddamned sensitive, petty, and jealous, isn't he? You would think he'd be a little more relaxed about things like false gods and all that. After all, it's his kids that came up with all the false gods in the first place. Christalmighty elohim, lighten up a little already...

Perhaps the OP is mired in that high school mentality wherein all people can be neatly categorized and shelved: - jock - cheerleader - nerd - burnout (70s moniker) - priss - goober - et al And perhaps he's still angry about the role that he was labeled with during said high school years. But I'm surprised he hasn't learned, beyond high school, just how nuanced and varied and

Well, ain't that a punch. Illegalize booze, sex, porn, pot, and then attribute the negative consequences of the illegalization to the vice itself. Logic twist much Richard? If you want to talk about the negative consequences of legal alcohol, legal marijuana, legal sex work, then those arguments would be germane to the OP's assertions (I believe). But attributing the negative conseque

Until you can convincingly argue that a human zygote is a fully developed person, using science, not feelings, then your question has no basis in reality. That's one of the things that bugs me about the strident pro-lifers: They state that as soon as a sperm cell fertilizes the ovum, then that conglomeration suddenly becomes a person. And that's one of the things that bugs me about the str

Isn't the church, with all of its staunchest supporters, just grand? And praydude, I'm sorry you're struggling with this one. As a fellow father, that battled PAS from my ex, her family, and parts of my family, I understand just how bewilderingly hurtful that is - especially when you're already emotionally reeling from the divorce itself. Like other posters have stated, I'm thinking that y
