Knowing mothers who have two children of one gender and then get pregnant again (likely for the last time), gender becomes a very hot topic. "Don't you wish you could have at least one son/daughter?". Why? Should that mean one parent will be able to connect better with the children of one gender over another? I can…

Either every country in the whole world does this, or the lawmakers in California admit that they realize this will kill the local porn industry. And perhaps they're okay with that? I wouldn't be surprised to see lawmakers feigning concern for actors in an effort to drive them out of town.

Videos with kink-oriented stuff (specifically torture, pain, etc - stuff that gives a non-consensual vibe) do this already with, in my personal opinion, great success. If there's a reel at the end showing everyone okay with what has just been done, it makes the need to regulate less necessary.

True Blood's Pam seduces Shane from L Word to become a vampire. And the two of them go on the prowl for all the lady-loving ladies of Louisiana.

I get enough of this in "real life". My Internet time is my happy time. Stupid faux-flow charts: don't take that away from me!!

Haha... he said 'but'

You bring up a good argument. Yes, minor children _do_ need time to adjust. But really, is that the government's place to intervene? People need to self-regulate themselves; only they know what is best for themselves and their children. Putting laws like this in place, really only opens up the courts to the human…

Oh yeah! I remember that going so well.

Ah yes. And that is pretty terrible. Her mother had to raise her on her own and then loses her daughter in a quite significant way to her ex. Hoping everyone involved has support in their lives and access to mental health care.

but that's my point. If the reproductive risk is mitigated, and they are both consenting adults...?

That's why I tried to break it down (perhaps poorly) in terms of biology versus psychology. Biologically they are father and daughter. Psychologically, they aren't. He didn't raise her as such. Would it be as twisted if they were long-lost siblings? Probably not. But biologically speaking, the risk of a sexual…

You bring up some very good points. Even though they never had a father/daughter history during her childhood, establishing one doesn't take much especially since the sexual relationship developed with the knowledge of him being her father (sometimes relationships go on for years before the genes are traced out in…

Illegal, yes. Unethical, not quite. He never had a role of responsibility in her life. If one or both of them subjected themselves to humane sterilization, why should this relationship be illegal? I hope they take precautions in the future to ensure no more pregnancy scares.

I believe I said Monica; Ross probably would have been better. I asked him if he'd ever gotten Joey or Pheobe. He said he had.

and then there was the time that I was asked by a middle aged interviewer for my first post-University job "what Friends member I was most like?". *sigh*

what if you are under pressure to perform well and therefore lie to impress potential employers?

The day an interviewer asks me to identify my astrology sign is the day I give up on the human race.

Lemme tell you, I'm an accountant so I know. Working in Finance is dreary and depressing. Spreadsheets look like prison bars and your co-workers are dull, at best! I've been getting by with my one cigarette a day habit, but I feel like there's something to this.

I double checked the original article and yes: "By 2030, projections suggest that more than 25% of Chinese men in their late 30s will never have married."

Seconded. All in favour? Motion passes.
