Why not work to change your church? Most religions have evolved. Catholics don't still insist the Sun revolves around the earth, etc. If all the reasonable/logical people leave their religions, only the crazy will be left.

I lived in a medium sized city and wandered through the neighborhood, went to parks, rode my bike alone starting from age 7. And so did all the other kids in the neighborhood.

That's amazing.

Hmm..I hope you guys figure it out. It sounds unusual and probably worth a visit to a doctor.

He's not that kind of guy anyway. He isn't walking away because he's got the guts to deny some sort of silly macho instinct. He's genuinely scared, and he gets upset with me for defending myself.

I was never hoping for revenge, but if someone is saying nasty things to me(not just catcalls, but outright insults) and he says nothing and doesn't do anything to help me it makes me feel more crappy than when I deal with it alone. I dont want him to punch anyone.

This is why my bf WON'T stand up for me when someone says something. He's scared they're going to be nuts. We just walk away. I get upset with him, but I guess he's right to be worried.

What ever happened to the Consumer Reports magazine for kids? Is it still around? It taught me all about being skeptical of advertising and some of the tricks used, like elmers glue instead of milk in cereal commercials.

Sometimes in photos I come out looking green. I'm definitely not green. So I use Photoshop and adjust it.

Maybe we should only allow photos of people first thing in the morning when they've rolled out of bed. It seems like some people seem to think any other assistance at all is wrong and not real.

what about the fact that a camera lens distorts your image to begin with?

No, it's because when you magnify something by that many times it will be distracting and garish. In a magazine it's no big deal. On a giant billboard it's a different story. Small blemishes do not define a person's appearance the way the shape of their face and body does.

I do, but NYC residents mostly already vote against this stuff. It would probably be more helpful if I lived and voted in a conservative area.

I think all that would be acceptable, except that they receive government funding.

that stuff can't be good for a baby to be around.

Then they should be too grossed out to ever have intercourse with a woman. Because that's where all the blood comes out.

It would be one thing if they made an actual argument against the idea. But all they're doing is throwing out insults.

poop is grosser than blood.

I'm open to grand gestures from a guy I'm already involved with. But chances are, they won't, because they've already got what they want.

Maybe make a date out of going to a sex toy shop and picking up things to try, including the cock ring? Or buy books for yourselves...I'm a big fan of She Comes First, and the sequel He Comes Next. I know they're silly titles, but they're really good and helpful.
