A court in Canada addressed this issue already, and while the decision weighs in at a hefty 300+ pages, I think it's worth a read if you want an insightful and impartial analysis into polygamy. The Court (if I remember correctly) noted that, while polygamy as a concept is not inherently evil, it is on the facts…

You sound like a really decent person. You offered to switch seats, the guy was rude to you, and you're still sympathetic toward him. I just want to say, kudos for being one of the better citizens of humanity.

Mom jeans for mens faces. Ha! Seriously that is awesome.

I understand that, I was mostly being facetious. It seemed amusing to me, just given the fact that the cold (and our apparent obliviousness to it) is a long running joke in Canada. I understand these places don't have the infrastructure to appropriately deal with the situation, and that it is a real emergency, but…

My point exactly. You'd think I was attacking her personally or something. Like, wow, it was meant to be humorous.

Man, the cold makes you all cranky as fuck, huh? We generally tend to get more jovial and friendly, as the extra body heat does wonders. Lighten up, I wasn't seriously getting on your case about it. I just found it funny, like you probably do when we bitch about the heat wave.

That's always what happens for me too. The first bout of -30 to -40 usually occurs pretty early on (this year it was late Nov I think) and it makes the rest of the winter seem painless.

My point was (and obviously the cold is getting to your brain if you aren't able to sense sarcasm) that -20F is pretty much standard winter temperature for a big portion of the continent. For the record, -40F = -40C, and yes, that's bloody cold. But not newsworthy - it happens probably 2 weeks per winter where I…

Ah, you Americans crack me up. -20 F is not even -30 C… cold, yes, but not all dramatic cold like you guys are making it out to be. I don't even plug in my vehicle or bust out my winter parka until -30, and even then only if I'm going to be outside for any length of time. It was -30 here yesterday and I wore a…

Never underestimate the power of crazy people in large numbers.

I never understood why scrunchies ever went out of style. They're so much easier on your hair than those elastic bands, they last longer, plus they're harder to misplace. Awesome.

That is a very sad situation. And I've been there, so I sympathize. But in all honesty, you should keep the gift (unless you really hate it). A huge percentage of breakups are due to money issues, and I firmly believe that if you want to make it, you need to let some stuff slide and focus on making bigger, long…

Well, if it's any consolation, if this is really his face twin, I think Mr. Beans is hot too. You can tell him he is because some random stranger on the internet said so.

She's the daughter of a billionaire. It's quite a bit of a stretch to say that she is evidence that white people in general get hired for jobs they aren't really qualified for and move up the ranks quickly. I'm sure there are rich people of other skin colours in jobs they aren't qualified to do as well.

Yeah but come on, you'd have to appreciate the irony! That's how I would do it if it was me. :P

Isn't anyone else kind of rooting for him getting shot on the doorstep of the person he's delivering the painting to, because they felt threatened?

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Money is not a present, and I receive no reciprocal joy from handing it out. If you need money, ask. Christmas is not here to help you pay your bills.

Hmm, yeah I don't really have that problem. The only people I am close enough to give gifts to are people who I can generally shop for with minimal difficulty.

If you need the money, ask for it. I'm more likely to give it to you for that reason than to dole it out on Christmas and turn it into 'obligatory charity day.' It's that kind of attitude that leads people to feel as if they're entitled to gifts (like these horrible wedding stories we hear) because they 'need' them.…

Haha maybe, but I am by no means old (mid-20s). It shouldn't be this hard. Not after 10 years of diligent effort not to get pregnant.
