Do you look your age?

You could never look like a "dog," (Mrs.?) Bubbles...

RE: Responses to pics and profiles

Really??!!

I had no idea you were so open-minded about such things, Morg. Do you have any particular telephone pole in mind?

RE: If you were my soulmate

In a sanitorium?

RE: Responses to pics and profiles

But seriously, Joanie, it highly impressive that someone as intellectual as you feels free to present the crazy, tree-climbing part of your soul. You find someone who can appreciate that - and who doesn't live ten million lightyears away - and you're one long step closer to finding your fowl-raising/selling soulmate.

RE: Why is so difficult to find the right one?

Because there are so, so many wrong ones?

Or perhaps because discovering the right one is so dependent on Socrates' dictum: Know thyself. In other words, impossible to locate the right one until you've located the right you.

RE: If there was one thing you could have known about your last partner before you met them...

That she wasn't as patient with all my faults as she should've been?

RE: From Our Friends at Homeland Security?

I think the basic problem with Americans now is that since most of them are still enjoying a fairly high standard of living they find it next to impossible to take seriously the accelerated erosion of basic freedoms/rights that we've witnessed under Bush administration. At this point these erosions are rather abstract for most people; they don't yet see (or are aware of) the practical consequences of the Patriot Act or the Military Commissions Act. To the extent that American citizens are even aware of the minutiae of these acts, they see them as applying to someone else - they don't perceive the potential of the more draconian aspects of this kind of legislation applying to them or those they love.

It's rather a case of "I didn't protest when they came to take my neighbor away...I said nothing when they took my other neighbor away...but when they came to take me away, it was too late."

So I expect that the majority of Americans will sit idly by with their heads in the sand until the moment a strong hand grasps the back of their necks and yanks them up into the light of a new dystopian day.

These people deserve the government they're going to get. I just wish there was some way I - and the people I love - could avoid the fruits of their ignorance and apathy.

RE: Got some bad news

I hope for the best for your daughter, Kitty.

RE: Are there any good reasons why a nice guy should continue to be a nice guy?

I think it's fine to be a nice guy. But a "rilly" nice guy...well, that's another question altogether. Moderation being a virtue and all.

RE: Young men dating older women

Sheesh...it was as predictable as the sun rising where this thread was going to go.

I wonder how many times this subject - and its entreaty - can be repeated? I wonder if this is a bad case of Nietzschean recurrence...?

RE: Good lord

But that's easier said than done, isn't it, Dana?

RE: WHERE HAVE ALL THE HANDSOME 45YR OLDS GONE

My thought precisely!

RE: WHERE HAVE ALL THE HANDSOME 45YR OLDS GONE

I thought so, too, baby.

RE: How many of you been on a pay singles site

I have, and they sucked. I was curious about E-Harmony, but being separated barred me from their site; I tried Match.com, Yahoo, and others, however...this place strikes me as far better than them in every way.

RE: How many of you can deal with a new relationship ?

I don't know about the rest of you, but this "cyber-love/friendship" has had a major and ongoing effect on my life.

RE: How many of you can deal with a new relationship ?

Check back with us in a few years (or decades), sweetie.

Though with your brains and heart you may prove the exception to that rule.

RE: How many of you can deal with a new relationship ?

Yeah, right, Joanie - like you aren't young at heart. I don't think I've seen anyone here or elsewhere who's younger in that particular organ (though my dad still enjoys climbing trees, too)

RE: WHERE HAVE ALL THE HANDSOME 45YR OLDS GONE

I just don't think it's reasonable to expect someone to look good or take care of themselves physically after their mid-forties.

Just my .666 worth...

A note about 25 year olds and intelligence...I can think of at least one 25 year old lady here who would shame most people in terms of intelligence, grace, and even maturity...a highly unique individual she is, however...

RE: What do you think about judgment proof?

It's doubtless a good thing for those who owe enormous amounts and cannot afford to repay.

Do I think it's moral? Kind of depends. The credit institutions in our country freely utilize an arguably immoral system which creates money out of thin air (the resulting inflationary redistribution of wealth is tantamount to theft in many cases), so their moral status is problematic at best, in my view. Fraudulently avoiding payment to private parties or businesses, however, is clearly unethical in general, I think.

Interesting question, Cristina. What in the world - or out the the world - inspired you to ask it?

RE: What do to men prefer?

Great minds think alike, Robert?

RE: Desert Rose

I'm guessing Paul was a bit too heavily into peyote ceremonies. When I was into that, I often had the most eerie hungering for turpentine.

RE: What do to men prefer?

Those with nocturnal predilections?

RE: Start of a beautiful friendship?

You moved to Canada to be with the one you love??! Hmmmmmm...I envy your courage and conviction.

I've become rather wary of Canadians myself. But I'm glad things are working out well with you and Matt.

RE: What do to men prefer?

I would not soil a woman's astral essence (or possibly her Karmic position or nearest parallel universe juxtaposition) by even touching her hair. I would simply admire it until our auras fused.

RE: What do to men prefer?

I feel that hair is an astral extension of an interdimensionally projected plane, and therefore am not particular about it corporeal state.

RE: God is ...

One problem with this poll is that you've set it up as a definition: "God is __________"

God, for example, is a concept, a religious archetype, a myth, a being with certain characteristics, etc. (much as we'd define a unicorn, for instance).

I think what you meant was: "Do you believe that God is..."? At least I think that comes closer to what you're getting at, Al.

RE: ARE ARTISTIC PEOPLE MORE SPIRITUAL..

"Spritiual" - the word everyone loves to use but virtually no one seems interested in defining.

So let's start, Aries, by your telling us what it means to be spiritual. Then I will decide if I - an artistic type - am that.

RE: When do you know that it's time to go to sleep, after a long CS day?

When you've had a hard-on for more than three hours?

RE: Horror

"Booger movie"? Wow, that does sound scary! (Rather reminiscent of "Attack of the Slime Creatures," I would think.)

RE: BEAUTIFUL WOMEN MARRY LESS ?

Hiiiiiii, sweetie!
