glad to hear it! heal quickly and well. :)

Sorry to hear you were in an accident, and hope you're ok with no lasting effects. OMG! You didn't injure your mouth or tongue did you? GASP! :)

I think that's what pretty much everybody has been saying all along. Everyone agrees on that point and the discussion is more about whatever each person is personally comfortable with and why. I don't think anyone has been gainsaying anybody's right to choose for themselves, on either side of...

You're not entirely wrong, and yes it's hypocritical to absolve one weapon and not the other. Having said that, there's practical reasons to address guns first. The most important is that guns is a bigger problem. Gun deaths represent 13.7 deaths per 100K and stabbing deaths represent 0.53...

I admire your optimism! :)

Yep, that's pretty much what I think too. That's also why I don't usually post here in the politics forum. After a certain point you realize that you come looking for one thing and end up just banging your head against the wall trying to communicate with those who have no wish whatsoever to...

Actually, pretty much everything all of you guys said is true, and thanks for chiming in. I wasn't really homing in on what's wrong with the political system though, because there's too much and it would take years for any of us to even get partway through it. I was more kind of referring to...

You are a centrist. It's not that hard to define. :) Good for you for being able to look at all sides and see the merits of each

The silence here over two days speaks volumes. So, if we take silence as assent to the premise that nobody's mind is ever going to be changed in a forum like this one, then is there any point to having this or any other forum for political discussion? Or is the point simply to have a place to...

I speak honestly about life history and experiences so that conversation can be as authentic as possible. For identity stuff I provide the exact same honesty and frankness that I have come to expect from SPs as far as identity goes, and so I limit it to providing my name, Dick Steele, and saying...

sigh. yes, it was for me as well. You're being selective and cherry picking again. My "entourage" as you call it, had nothing to do with it, and yes, I used to see advertising SPs as well, and still see MPS. So, when do I need to leave behind or use a decoy wallet? as per the many previous...

lol, who's being snide now? "turbo harem"? "Pussy mountain"? *snort* :) It's true that the situation I described applies to probably very few people here, but it's actually a situation that's very common elsewhere, and other guys were the inspiration for me to try to create something equal...

Once again, you're not paying attention and you're zoning in on the things that affect you without considering others or other situations of which you aren't a part that have been discussed in this thread. I can't be bothered to go back and do post referrals for you again so I'm not going to...

lol. I see you didn't read the whole thread. I'll refer you back to post #48. I can see any of the girls you see but I choose not to, because the experience is so much less than I have now. You also cannot see any of the girls I see, because I have built my own personal circle of ladies...

ok, so there's two things here. You're zooming in on SP screening requests and ignoring the rest of the stuff, but you're talking as if that's the only issue of consequence. It's not, but as I said before people can make their own choices on any aspect of all the things we've discussed here...

Yeaaaah....no. It's not that simple. It's not about choosing to do or not do it. That decision is always available, and of course people on either side of the equation can agree or disagree as they like and look elsewhere if they so choose. That's not really the point. The overarching theme of...

It can and does happen. Not usually to cause a scene, but sometimes a photo or a video snippet. Just writing to the boss is enough though for a lot of places. As you say, even if there's no photo and you can explain it away as a malicious prank or whatever it's still pretty fucking awkward...

The short answer is yes, but the real answer requires nuance. People have been lumping everything together into an overriding theme of risk of personal assault, but we've really been talking about 3 things: 1) security of your person 2) security of your money 3) security of your identity and...

anytime. There's lots of discussion of different places in the international section and if any area in particular is of interest to you then I'd be happy to go deeper into it with you. I don't use LL so can't help you there but there's no shortage of experience on MERB lol

I'll refer you to post #29. I already covered all that. The hyperbole also wasn't necessary because I've clearly delineated over multiple posts that different situations require different things, or nothing at all, and pretending that all of these things is necessary all the time is a gross...
