Unfortunately I don't think she wrote the book with the intention of showing that these are not healthy people. I totally put the book down thinking "wait, does this author really believe this is what a good relationship should be?"

But sex is not just playing cards, or riding roller coasters, or playing basketball, etc etc. They are all completely different activities. IMO you are comparing apples and oranges.

I guess I have a hard time seeing the point of sex with other people if you are married. To me that is something you only share with the people you love. But again that is just my opinion and I choose to conduct my personal relationships. It would really bother me to know that my partner is out there having sex with…

Hmmm I understand your point. It's hard for me to see it that way though. But this is all my personal opinion. Like I said to each their own.

I mean no disrespect, but can someone explain to me the point of an open marriage? I seem to have an old fashioned belief that marriage should be between 2 people who want to be together forever, and only with that other person.

Same Love is STILL getting played non-stop here in Seattle. Which on the one hand is SUPER awesome. But on the other hand I am kind of starting to hate hearing it. I brought up radio because I listen to a lot of radio, my car is old and I drive 40 mins each way to work. The radio in the car keeps me sane (most of the…

That is what I thought! Thanks for the clarification! I knew some of the proceeds went to Washington United for Marriage. I just did not know for sure if the song was SPECIFICALLY written for Ref 74, couldnt remember that far back.

The Same Love video and single were released before Can't Hold Us, but after Thrift Shop.

well said!

I am with you on this! I never once thought this song was disingenuous. Actually as a straight ally I really love this song and the message it has. I like to think that macklemore displays an ally's persepective while Mary Lambert is the example of the LBTG perspective.

Now, having read all that, please explain to me how we are not talking to our kids about alcohol.

Zanathlum, I think you may be misinterpreting what I am saying. Please calm down.

too drunk = cannot verbalize "yes I am interested in having consensual coitus with you"

I have to preface this by saying RAPE IS NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER OK.

Honestly this is why I really think boys/men really need this tattooed on their foreheads sometimes!

Yes well put! This does apply to every one, I just feel like with boys that point needs to really be driven home. IMHO

If a girl is to drunk to consent it is rape! If I EVER have boys I am going to ingrain that into their minds. A girl cannot consent if she is too drunk!

So I will take tacky, tasteless, classless, vulgar, embarrassing, and cringe-worthy over those things, thank you

I hate to say it but I absolutely prefer duck face to sticking your tongue out.
