This forum is the tiniest of microcosms (and a place of questionable virtue in some cases lol). Until those in power and those with influence start preaching a message of peace and unity, there will be no pathway to it. I used to believe that most people were at least somewhat intelligent. But...

He said she said, and eye for an eye and all that. Both sides are ridiculous and mentally ill, and both sides know what they're doing. Both are at fault. But, charmingly, they need each other. How cozy.

Yeah, I guess I was thinking more on the extreme end of opinions on certain topics. But it can go any number of ways, I guess.

It's certainly possible. A blessing in disguise, I guess.

I think it's probably in a SP's best interest to keep some things a bit closer to the vest - just to maintain a bit of mystery, and also not limit the client base to those who agree/don't agree with a political view or whatever. Some SP (maybe here, maybe elsewhere) really reveal themselves to...

You don't have to like the guy, or anything he stood for. I certainly didn't and don't. But you have to be a bit broken yourself not to see how awful an event this was - on multiple levels.

It's more that he should think twice because he clearly feels bad about what he's doing and therefore might want to reconsider things before continuing down this route. Many people are married but have found a state of mind where they don't feel guilty about their actions, for whatever that's worth.

Yep, if the guilt is going to consume you, then perhaps this hobby isn't for you at the moment. In fact, it sort of sounds like maybe you can work on things with your wife to arrive at a better solution (but not knowing your situation, I won't venture further down that route)

Your pres just declared war on one of his own cities, not officially, but in this manner.

Exactly. That said, there's a lot more to modern medicine than just pills - so on the whole it's a huge positive and has saved countless millions.

Yes - Given there was an election coming up, it likely made no sense to go through a whole process in the riding, so might as well stay, I guess. Who knows.

There was the election - he did not run in the election.

None of it irritates me. Life is absurd, as is this place.

I see your pov, but the issue is that this business is not like most. The business IS the time spent with you. So the only way, really, for your idea to have legs is if she brings up the idea of spending time with you outside of the "meeting" scenario. Otherwise it will just seem like you want...

I notice you took one of your quotes and attributed it to me - a mistake, probably (unless one were conspiracy-minded!). Anyway, you seem to be having a pleasant conversation with yourself. Keep calm and conspiracy on! (ps. My comment was actually meant sincerely - and not in a derogatory fashion)

I appreciate the self-awareness here.

I just find it mildly amusing that all those pro-gun nuts on the Right were always saying "we gotta keep our guns for when the gov uses the army against us" aren't even mildly concerned with the sudden increase in army presence in the capital city.

I've only had an agency lady ask for it upfront once, after I told her it was the first time using the agency. Fair enough!

Did he ask about DFK?

block em'. Everyone needs to know their role.
