When you’re away from someone you care about, you miss them. And that’s sad.
When realize you no longer miss them, that’s heartbreaking.
Me: Oh. Look. The moon is beautiful tonight, sweetie.
Girl of My Dreams: That’s no moon….it’s a space station.
This is just a graph I found while browsing the Help for Men section of the AMA’s site. It’s part of a support network for men who have had bad sexual experiences. This is just a graph I want to put out there for all the ladies with kung fu grips. We appreciate you, but. Damn.
The x-intercept is the point at which the penis is removed from the body, an estimate of my own. 1.6N/m is about equal to 20 pounds of Handjob force.
I’m going to catch some flak for this.
While I’m supportive of gay marriage, I don’t really think there should be any kind of marriage, gay or straight, recognized by the state (or federal government). Marriage should be a religious/social thing.
There should be rights that you can share with a person like giving your power of attorney if hospitalized. These rights, however, should be able to be given to anyone, your son, your grandmother, your best friend, your dog. Whatever. It should simply be a contract you enter into (which marriage really is) which would remove the problem of governmental bullshit that gives special rights to those who are married, and then excludes some people from that.
It bothers me that marriage, something that’s steeped in religious history, is supported and given privileges by the government.
I realize some people don’t view marriage as a religious thing, but even so, do you need the government to officially recognize your love? All you need them to do is give you the ability to share rights with another person.
These are thoughts.
Those are thoughts. I understand what you’re saying, and I agree. But I do think marriage as a governmental institution is fine. Think of it as having the same name as a religious tradition (since we did have man and woman joining before the onset of the judeo-christian tradition ). I think the problem lies when the government tries to play on the religious background of marriage. For example, I remember GW Bush saying something to the effect that “marriage has always been a union between a man and a woman”, and that dudes getting married would affront a “religious tradition,” or something to that effect. I absolutely remember him using the word religion, and that is horribly wrong. The legal things that marriage brings are very useful (taxes, decision making, etc.), and should be available to anyone who wants them. Its offensive that something that should be PURELY a legal contract is so surrounded by religious pretension.
And in fact…power of attorney and whatnot CAN be given to just about anyone, you know, not minors and dogs, but. yeah.
I do feel like its dumb when people feel the need for their marriage to be confirmed by the government. At the same time, it’s just the principle of thing, and I get that.
Good post, thx.
This is me all over. Other competitive test-takers like myself may be familiar with the practice of looking at other people’s papers — not to cheat and see their answers (since mine would obviously be better than yours), but rather, to see how far along they are in the test, because I WANT TO WIN!!
I hear so many people talking about how they don’t do well because they’re smart, and are thus bored with classes, bla bla bla. And you know, there ARE some people who are that way. But not 40% of humans. They use “not trying” as an excuse.
Sometimes, smart people are bored with classes because they are too easy, or not interesting enough. Maybe they just can’t focus because their mind wanders. At any rate, it is a fact that, sometimes, very intelligent people perform poorly academically.
