I'd leave my family under certain circumstances.

No, if they just said "he's John Doe OH BY THE WAY THAT'S NOT HIS TRUE IDENTITY", people would try to figure out who he was. If they just said "he's this guy" and treated him like any other antagonist, why would anyone suspect he was anyone else? No-one was with Nero, or whatever his name was.

That looked more like an error than anything else given that they've refused to identify him in any of the other billions of bits of crap released in the build-up.

"If God wanted us to be equal, there would be either just men or just women on the earth. It would seem this is causing contention among the readers which is exactly what satan wants."

Who asks someone's father for permission? That's weird.

Probably connected. As are things like men being less likely to seek medical care for ailments.

I was joking.

Give him a second to recover, jeez.

You mean the NFL star? I think that elevates him a little above some random from a bus.

"Of course that's just my opinion. :/"

The chefs where I worked earned barely any more than I did (the national minimum wage).

I am British. I don't think think the "relying on tips to boost it up to minimum wage" applies here so it might not be relevant. I earned minimum wage as a member of the front of house staff and I think the kitchen staff earned slightly more, but they did have a more difficult job.
