Well, my research indicates that first cousin marriage is not allowed in Ohio (although sex and cohabitation are okay).

Tom Cruise decides it’s unbecoming…for a Scientologist in his family to do such a thing

I’m the same way. I want it to be hot outside, because I love hot weather, but no warmer than 70 degrees inside. Otherwise I’m sweaty, cranky and miserable.

Okay, this all made some form of sense until the temps were mentioned. 68 is a warm house to me. 7fucking7??? That's fucking hot! I guess I'm not as cold a person as I thought.

I thought PUAs said you had to be mean to women all the time. Some bullshit about ‘negging?’

This is an interesting study to report on, but the tone of this article (namely, presenting it as advice) is very MRA/PUA. Like, we’re supposed to start ostensibly platonic friendships with people under the expectation that they owe us sex and we will eventually ensnare them into a relationship? Because that’s what…

I know (unfortunately) my people. He was white, wasn’t he?

I want to hear the rest of the story...how much did we save not enforcing pot laws, encarceration, court costs, etc...I’m guessing the 62 million might be on the low side.

Thank you for the link. Ms. Smart is very right on, especially in this example, explaining how the concept of “sexual purity” factored into her decision not to run-

Smart, is. We should all have such incredible grace under extreme circumstances.

Elizabeth Smart is a woman of unthinkable courage and strength. She has chosen the most noble path possible. Her activism for children who have been raped and sexually abused has no doubt saved countless lives and helped to begin the process of mending damaged souls. She is doing the single most important thing to end…

She also has some smart things to say about abstinence-only education: http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/05…

That is a good nerdy things to be about, pointy reckoning an’ all.

No worries! It’s easy enough to do on the internet.

Heh, well yes. I’m American and don’t do that. Nobody I dealt with when I was still in America did that. And only 4% of the calls I take now that I don’t live in the US are American. So I am well aware that it is not an “American thing”.

I don’t like the words proud of but this is why I would say I love America:

definitely just a movie/tv thing. half my family is American, they always say goodbye and i love yous etc.

Can you vote? Yes.

When the female detective in True Detective said bye at the end of a phonecall I noticed it because it was so unusual. Especially for a police drama where they’re usually all so busy and purposeful with no time for pleasantries.

It's a movie thing. We said hello and goodbye. Hell, even I love you.
