I can just see the govt. changing a diaper...imagine the mammoth bureaucracies involved. The "Diaper Czar"...gives me goosebumps.
But I do believe the gov should limit the amount of food a person can eat. It has to look after our health, after all (and fattening the lamb is always a good idea before...well, Chairman Obama would get it).
I'm wondering how any of the "pet-first" people here would feel if upon meeting a guy or gal he or she declared: "Honey, I ain't ever gonna love you as much as my dog."
Well, I think it depends on the status of "lover." If that means your girlfriend that you've known for a few months and with whom you have no planned/committed future, then no.
If it means someone you possibly may spend the rest of your life with - then your lover would be your highest value, and the answer is obvious.
Well, perhaps you should consider redoing your profile so that there's something of substance (and appealing) in there? You tell next to nothing about yourself, and there's no photo of you. Big "no-nos" in the profile game.
A good question (though the answer would involve factors for more numerous and complex).
It's not considered controversial, even in completely mainstream medicine, that cultural or national eating habits affect susceptibility to certain illnesses. For example, the French and their wine correlating with lower cardiovascular issues (per popular hypothesis), Japan's fish diet and lack of colon cancer, and Alaskan Eskimos' consumption of omega-3 fats and lower incidence of heart disease.
Allicin, found in garlic and onions, is pretty strong stuff. Take a few bites, and you can taste it oozing from your skin and other areas best left unnamed shortly afterward. It has proven anti-biotic properties. It wouldn't be surprising if its consumption on a societal level imparted some measurable health benefits.
Well, D, I'm guessing you might be better off placing some of those onions in your body, where they certainly can do you a lot of good. They're naturally anti-bacterial (like garlic), and stimulate the immune system.
That would be freaky indeed if onions actually can attract and destroy the flu. I'm not putting much stock in that claim.
I'm almost afraid to say, because I might sound discriminatory or something, brother.
But I think we both know housecleaning should only be done when a figurative gun is being placed to one's temple and the trigger cocked (in other words, when a gf or S.0. comes a callin').
Still, seriously, I believe I've decided to change my ways an attempt more weekly or bi-weekly maintenance...
I agree, Laura, that there is "no meeting in the middle" on the question of replying yes or no to a marriage proposal. I think it's an entirely "yes or no" question. "Maybe at some point" would be finis for me.
If you asked someone to marry you and they either provisionally refused or were hesitant, what would you do?
Well, Athens, my sense is that if marriage is proposed, and the partner receiving the proposal either is hesitant or declines (if even for the moment, with the promise of future reconsideration), then the question HAS been answered. I do see it as an "either-or" proposition. I can't imagine asking that question, and ever considering re-asking it if I were refused.

RE: 911
Most "9/11 Truthers" are not lefties - they're as critical of Obama as they were/are of Bush. I'm neither left nor right myself. Just libertarian.
