Back on topic... Re-Surge! Hey it worked so good the first time, maybe the surge will work again! But I don't care what the libturds say, this place is safe. I've seen the results on the ground. I'm going out to buy a rug!

Okay. Stop right there.

Help You Decide! Meanwhile, they also traced Bush's lineage and here's the connection they found:

I hear that Kevbone's favorite metal bands growing up were Winger and Poison. And yours were Stryper and Dangerous Toys.

Good logic. What the paper does do, however, is it prevents unimaginable hassles with estate and medical decisions. Unfortunately society is constructed in a way that unmarried couples aren't consider "legitimate" benefactors with rights to make critical decisions for each other in the event of sickness/death. If you are serious enough with someone that you've merged your home, daily routine, finances, all of it, and you have a solid life together, then that's when you should really consider it. A lot of people obsess over this; it's been kind of ingrained into us this idea of "the one", etc. I think the truth is that for each person on Earth, there's hundreds of people out there, maybe more, that could be the "right person". Obsessing over petty details only detracts from one's attention to the relationship at hand. If you have found someone compatible, then revel in it, and see the struggle for what it really is.

Me too.

If by "capably", you mean, steer it into being awarded billions in no-bid contracts to become history's most lucrative war profiteering firm that essentially turned the US Government into it's own little bitch, then yes, he's been extremely capable and effective. My point was simply that if Richardson is really an asshole to work for, we can at least hope his politics and policies would be an improvement over this ruthless son of a bitch. On that note, good morning all!

Fuckface Redux I'm sure he doesn't care...Ideologues are pretty predictable in their listening and comprehension skills and can't be bothered with facts, other opinions, or...anything.

Well...in consideration of more recent vice presidents, he's still looking mighty swell by comparison.

Man of the Hour Nice! An Obama/Richardson ticket is looking more attractive by the minute.

Perjury. It's not perjury if you lie about sex. So why was he being investigated in the first place? Because he texted a chick about sex? Kevin, The man broke God's law. He's a fornicator.

Oh please. We outgrow that phase just as men outgrow that "all that matters is her tits" phase. Ummm. We don't actually grow out of that phase. No, actually, it evolves to include asses.

Perjury. It's not perjury if you lie about sex. It's also not "gay" if you just happen to have a wide stance.

Perjury.

who pointed out the man's race here? Oh sure. Go ahead and play the "race card" now.

But he's black. So that makes you a racist.

Well one thing's for sure, now that you've showed up, 'Happy Hour' is over!

i like external input, and i like my own tail. now what? The first thought that came to mind reading this was: "that's easy...go fuck yourself!" ..But I thought that might sound a bit rude.

Having been in two long term relationships (one of them for 12 years), I feel that I am able to throw my opinion in on the whole long term vs dating pool of opinions. I find both states satisfying at times and challenging at others. I've had relationships that break up cleanly and others that break my heart. And some shit I get over and other shit changes me as a human being. I am negative some days and other days I am all happy horseshit. Seems normal to me; but then, the insane person never questions their sanity, do they? Good points, and at least you have perspective from multiple angles. Just like those who are "happily dating", I don't know any "happily married" couple who claims 100% satisfaction- every relationship requires ongoing attention. I think most men stop paying attention because they think things are 'going well', but women always need to keep things moving along. Damn neared every happily married couple I know, however, thinks with dread of the thought of being single again. Especially when you get older. Where would you start looking again? Trick question, actually, since "looking" is exactly when your least likely to meet anyone interesting. You meet people most compatible when you're relaxed and doing what you love in life( i.e. acting naturally), not when your standing in a room full of strangers pretending to be attractive. Too many single people think that they will solve their problems entirely alone, and treat their relationships separately. This is neurotic. A good relationship effectively acts as a mirror in which you see the whole solution of your life. With no external input, you'll spend your entire life chasing your own tail.

That's cool. Just checking to see if you were merely questioning the institution. To answer your last question- you hear a lot of people in their early/mid 20's proclaiming they will never be 'tied down' (married or otherwise)- as though they know the whole course of their life ahead! Moreover, that their individualism is so dominating their life that they don't even realize how much your life changes as you grow older and they only see a relationship as a "restriction on their freedom". Most people grow beyond that and develop a more rational perspective, but once in awhile you meet older people who have never been able to sustain a relationship for long because they've held fast to that individualism to the point that it comes to exist mainly to drive other people away from them. Just don't become one of those people. Marriage itself really is a contrived concept and isn't required to define a good relationship, but unfortunately this society makes things difficult for estate related things, when you do find yourself in full 'partnership' or whatever you wish to call it.

At least from my experience, your friends would seem to be closer to the exception than the norm. I'm not suggesting marriage is essential to being whole, but whether you believe in it or not, society at large simply treats you differently if you are married vs. single. If you're well adjusted, then it won't affect you either way. Not everyone is so well adjusted.

if i weren't so lazy i'd dig up the study probaby rather old though happiest: 1) single women 2) married men 3) single men 4) married women Do these studies offer any wisdom or meaning for an individual? Yeah, it's like how my married brother tells me to ENJOY my freedom because he is so jealous he has none. It's a good reminder to enjoy one's singlehood and live it up. Sounds like your brother simply has a crappy relationship. I wouldn't order your whole view of a partnership on that paradigm.

So I keep hearing! Is marriage good for anyone? I mean, seriously. Aside from the tax breaks? NO! don't do it! the tax breaks aren't worth it Nope, I have NO plan to EVER get married. Or even come close to it. Ever. Seriously. Do you simply have no planfor marriage? Or are you actively planning to go out of your way to never get married?

if i weren't so lazy i'd dig up the study probaby rather old though happiest: 1) single women 2) married men 3) single men 4) married women Uh...riiiight. We all know how supremely satisfied most 48 year old single, never been married women are. No social pressure whatsoever on them? I think that list would be re-ordered for different age groups.
