“I would be so quick to run out that door if my SO told me before we started to be intimate that she had or has a STD.”

What part of that phrasing was polite or respectful of your partner, who’s just taken the risk of disclosing their health status to you? No part of it at all. Think about that.

You’ve come back with a…

“good fucking riddance” indeed.

Congratulations! Your inability to fathom, and your apparent laziness in researching to clear up that inability, ensure that you’ll perpetuate the stigma of contracting an STD, making it more difficult for people to disclose and manage healthy and active lives, in and out of bed.

Thank you for this post. You’ve covered a great many things without using any hyperbole, and that’s appreciated. As one who came out in 1984, I’ve experienced enough hyperbolic bullshit for a lifetime.

It’s very much like a sport. If you don’t want the work associated with your desired activity, you can choose not to participate any longer. Athletes train, so should gun holders. And like athletes, gun holders should be tested every year to ensure they’re up to continuing.

Testicles. Each and every one. Shame we couldn’t catch ‘em all before they reproduced.

I haven’t seen them yet, but WTF?

If you have French and English language skills your immie points go up in Canada. Writers, not so much, unless your tomes are significant, showing what a strong cultural addition you’d be to the country.

To be fair, only 3 states require licenses or permits for rifles and long guns, and only 12 require similarly for handguns. Seems to me the responsibility is at least as great as the operation of a motorized vehicle, which requires licensing in, like, all 50 states.

Multi-unit residential even.

I’ll take “Second amendment interpretations” for 2,000,000 Alex.

Here’s a good explanation of why Mssrs. Rodas and Walker were most unlikely to have survived the crash.

Assuming the dealer has records of advising the customer regarding tire maintenance, the title holder is responsible, yes.

Trapped him? I’m sure he’d have been able to exit the car on his own steam after the accident, given he had suffered fractures of his left jawbone, collarbone, pelvis, ribs and spine, and evidence of little soot in his lungs suggests he died before the fire engulfed the car.

Some lawyer’s convinced him there’s money in it - or he himself is a douche.

No car can truly protect a driver and their passengers from their own stupidity.

Invincible? Only if scotchguarded.

We’ll have to disagree.

You are awful. Come sit by me.

Let me take the wheel, I’ll steer.

I certainly agree that all religions need review, but here in the west it’s wisest to start with the most powerful religions possessing the blindest faithful...that’d be Christians.
