Now, I don't know whether it is deliberate, or you are just not getting the point. Re-read my statements and point out where I advocated for banning or abolishing anyone or anything. Deliberately spreading falsehood is not in anyone's interest.
"Ban" is a rather strong word to use in the same sentence with associations in a democracy. But I think his point is taken. The way I see it, the latest NRA fight is not really about 2nd amendment, but more about profit. The most ardent gun control advocate will tell you the second amendment needs to be protected. I am yet to her anyone say gun ownership should be disallowed. All they are saying is, super-powerful guns should be taken off the streets. If the founding fathers saw this coming, they would have placed limits on types of guns that private citizens could own, but there were no machine guns in their days. It is for the same reason we would not expect them to have legislated on Internet usage and such other contraptions of modern living we have today. Let's stop putting words in their mouths to further our own agenda!
Good point, but it may also depend on what s/he does on the sites. Ideally, once hooked, you should stay away from the site. Some people come on CS to read the forums and drop or share opinions there; not really looking for partners. I don't think they have to leave, unless they feel "challenged" by potential partners on the sites.
Relationships are difficult enough without unwanted baggage. First, I'd say we are only hearing from one party in this situation. We have no way of knowing exactly what is going on in our young man's head. Still, for a lot of men (and women for that matter) in their 20s, 20 years difference is a lot. My point is, at more advanced age brackets, 20 years difference may not appear like a big deal, but not so with people in their 20s...unless they have other reasons for wanting to stay in the relationship. My advise? Let this guy go. Most people will have their families on their side in these matters. I am therefore not surprised his family supports him.
Disability comes in different forms. In reality, we are ALL disabled. However, check the disability to see if it is one you can live with. I don't think it is a crime to admit inability to cope with a friend's disability. Rather that than raise their hopes then betray it.
You didn't live there. He is your man and you came to see him, for instance? LOL. Say the relationship started not too long ago and you hadn't gotten to the stage of moving in together?
A good law, except it will be unfair to the party being wronged in the relationship and who wanted out on that account. I certainly love the part about the lawyers not smiling though. :D
This was not an hear-say. No further evidence needed. You caught him or her in the very act; cheating on you. What will be your first action or reaction?
It is obviously a big, wide world and we are not expected to see things the same way. Indeed, it will be a boring world if that happens. I congratulate you on finding love long distance, making it work and your impending nuptials. Some of us are just not so wired. :)
Every time this question comes up, more women than men are often in the affirmative. Got something to do with genetic disposition? Look at all those items I underscored in red. Those are valid reasons most people would not want to enter into a LDR. If you are talking about relocating to be with each other, great. But it is always toughest in the beginning when you are just getting to know each other. Once that stage passes and you are still together, chances are higher you will make it.
Relationships need nurturing. Distance may not be such a huge barrier for relationships that have been on for a while. In fact, it may help it grow. I don't think it is a good thing for people just meeting anew. You need as much time with each other as possible...
Looks may not be the ultimate deal breaker, but it serves as an "interest arrester"; something to arrest your interest or attract your attention even before you start looking at other factors. Eventually, someone you did not consider very good looking might win your heart after getting to know them while someone you considered an eye candy may tick you off because of who they are. Bottom line? Don't go purely with looks, because there might be more beneath the looks.

My sentiments as well.
If they were cheating, I doubt if that qualifies for a good marriage to start with, No?
