Something I am very staunch about, if you can make one another happy...So be it...If the person that makes me happy and who I make happy happens to be 20 years older...so be it.
I think it's different for different people and I can only personally speak for myself however...My personal opinion is as long as both in the relationship are happy with one another, then age is nothing but a thing. One of the keys to a successful relationship is happiness and as long as they are, it's a great place to start.
Again, someone wearing a plastic bag filled with liquid explosives, IS NOT going to be picked up on the machine.
As far as it political affiliations, yes, it has everything to do with it unfortunatley and it's clearly seen in the political arena because views of the issue are clearly split down party lines.
Funny thing is...I would have thought the liberals would be against this sort of thing, for once the conservatives actually are against taking away rights in the name of national security....
Just goes to prove, that when push comes to shove, it's about both being bi-partisan about issues & about being a sheep.
Considering the machine doesn't detect plastics or liquids, they don't have to use dynamite, they can have liquid explosive strapped to their legs instead.
apparently you haven't seen the new scanners they are using that show the persons face in detail and in flesh colored detail...not to mention the way the screeners run their hands and grope the groin & crotch area "thoroughly"..
In my opinon kat, they don't apply anymore, not because the govenment has absolute power like it does today, but because the people don't embrace those words or that way of life anymore for the most part.
in general, people have no problem with the government taking their rights, as long as they can buy their IPOD and go home & blog about their problems, they are content.
As a previous poster stated, love is emotion, it's what we do for that love that is action...
So in a sense...I say yes...Love is 100% of a relationship. Love not only encompasses the emotion itself, but the actions we do to maintain & show that love.
Whether it's how we show our committment, how we express how we are feeling, or how show our devotion, it all revolves around the love itself...So yes...I say it is 100% of a relationship, that is based on love.
I understand we live in a world of equal rights and in a sense (come on ladies, it does in a sense balance in your favor), I think guys need to whine less about it and embrace tradition more so instead of crying "equality" or "omg, my wallet" ....As Swiss said it so well, the first date is about first impressions...Do you really want the first impression to be that you are cheap? That you aren't chivalrous? That you can't even handle a dinner & movie bill?
I by far do not make alot of money, but I'm sure I can cut a luxery or two, if it meant giving a great impression to someone I felt was special enough that I built up the courage to ask out...Come on guys, if they are special enough to take out, they are special enough to spend a few dollars on...Especially considering it pays off in the long run should things work out and blossom into a serious relationship..The better the first impression, the better the chances for future dates and a serious relationship...Just sayin.
Ok, here is how I view the issue of the first date bill...and mind you, this is purely my opinion.
I think dates should be covered by the man, whether it's the first date or even a date out with the wife.
It's just what's always been done...HOWEVER...I think if the woman feels as though there is no chance of a 2nd date, I think that is a fantastic way for her to send that signal, by offering to pay half.
