The whole plan is to alienate him and make him feel so unwelcome that he retires before the end of his contract.

I was considering social arguments, not genetic ones. Besides, the latter are arguments against interfamilial procreation, not interfamilial marriage.

I think you're driving at the idea that since we already discriminate against certain types of marriage, discriminating against gay marriage is also okay. Am I wrong?

Awww. Somebody wants "all teh stars."

Besides being wrong, you're also acting like a jerk.

Every writer experiences pressure to be first and right. Only Chris Ford amends his work to appear credible.

a) I'd never come for a week. What kind of sadist do I look like?

I was mostly thinking Buffalo, although there might be some smaller cities in Indiana I could do without. I know Cleveland and Pittsburg get bad raps, and while I wouldn't want to live in either of those places, they're not completely horrible like Phoenix is.

Very clever. I'm not from Seattle, though. It's a nice place, but I could never live there. Too gloomy. The sunshine is one of Phoenix's only selling points.

I actually lived in Oakland for the nine longest months of my life! Despite always feeling like I was constantly on the verge of being murdered, I'd still take it over Phoenix.

Of course. Preferably with a gaudy watch and ludicrous sunglasses.

What is there to be jealous of in Phoenix? I'm dying to know.

Other things that are Phoenix as Fuck?

I did yoga 6x/wk for 6 months back in 2012 and it was the best I ever felt since being a teenager. But, I missed using that time for stuff I enjoyed more, like climbing and biking.

Thanks. Your advice is both entirely accurate and perfectly depressing.

Why debate this when Albert Burneko can tell us definitively which peanut butter is best, and which ones of us are stupid?

Respectfully, is this really a point that needs explaining?

Maybe I'm missing your joke. JEJ was great as a character inspired by Salinger, but it's not like FoD was a biopic. If you're making a film specifically about somebody, it helps if the actor looks like the character he's playing.

I'm willing to give Segel a chance, but I actually think fat-Bradley Cooper could pull it off.

I'm not a runner but I'll be running a 10K in May, and would appreciate any advice that anybody is willing to share.
