Sigh... I have been with my bf for over 5.5 years... we still don't live together

He said maybe sometime in the middle of next year. Then it will be 6 yrs!

*cries alone*

"It's crazy how hypocritical our society has become. I wonder if our generation or the few coming up will ever have a woodstock or the like. I say, take the necessary precautions, arm yourself by knowing your rights, and party on."

i definitely plan on doing that, just not right at this moment.

OP what exactly are you just not going to do right at this moment??

And armandleg, I totally agree. Mensafool your concepts of good ideas are a bit confusing...

 I never called you  a ****. It looks like you are calling yourself that, though, which may suggest something.

And it is immature to think "taking it easy" = smoking pot. You even said in your profile you need to stop smoking and drinking. I think you may need some help, and I say that honestly as a concerned person.

I also never suggested you never drink again, hell I like drinking too (I'm of legal age, though). However, drinking at a young age like you are is detrimental to the development of your brain; something you should be concerned about.

I am not judging you for not using a condom. I have noticed, however that in your profile this is the 4th or 5th time you have had a pregnancy scare. After a while it is not simply a "mistake" one has made, but a bad habit.  You don't seem to be learning from the mistakes you repeatedly make. Based on what I do know about you (from your posts and profile) you judge yourself and I am simply following your judgment call.

I 100% support you in getting an abortion. I have a friend whose of the same ethnicity as yourself and I understand why you can not tell your parents. I don't judge you at all in getting an abortion if you are pregnant. I would do the same thing if I was in your position.

I tend to try to see the good in people and don't see myself as cynical (now you are judging me), I am just following your tone with my opinion.

Personally, I don't think you change minds by arguing "what you say is totally wrong and you're a bigot/idiot for thinking it." That'll never be how you change the world.

 Simply saying "you are wrong" never changes anyones mind. You need to back it up with reasons (Something a lot of people miss).... you also need to ask questions to force them to maybe think about it a little deeper then they normally do (if you go to the thread, I do this).

And maybe that's the difference. You think the war can be won here and now. If we educate enough people, we can change people's minds and the LGBTQ community will get the rights they deserve.

Here and now? No. Gay marriage accepted within 10 years? Yes. Within 5 years? Maybe

But moving society towards that point starts here and now. Making people discuss the subject is HOW these things change. If no one is talking, nothing is changing. You seem to want society to move ahead without actually having to do anything... o.O When people don't do anything and don't talk about anything, nothing changes.

And I think the war will be won in the future, when time, experience and information finally at least equals the misinformation and small-mindedness from the other side.

Didn't you just say we shouldn't talk about it? Where is this experience and information coming from? Again, its easy to just pass it off and say it will all be magically fixed in the future...but thats because someone ELSE is going to be doing the talking and bringing up the subject (because, again, it seems you dont want to talk about it). So it will happen, just slower.

When people get to know other gay people and learn.. well, they're not so bad after all. And Harry and George have been together 15 years, why don't they deserve to be wed?

And how do they get to know that harry and george have been together? When Harry and george feel they need to hide it or else they will get fired or outcast? If no one is talking about it, no one tells anyone anything and everything just goes on like it is....

As for the thread yelling and hurting people feelings just to get your one point across is wrong. If you want to stir the pot not the place to do it.

Was I yelling? Nope.

As for the "place to do it"...where is that place? Anywhere you aren't? Haha. Yea, thats why its exactly the place. The point isn't to just discuss with people who agree with you, its to find people who don't want to talk about it. People who would rather just ignore the issue and go on with life as normal, because it has "nothing to do with them".

If you read my post, I make the argument that it does have much to do with them. That their acts of simply voting no on a subject like gay marriage really end up supporting the anti-gay culture and in turn supports a wide range of people willing to take things to the next level (Such as firing, harassing, or killing).

Seeing as recently hundreds of homosexuals were murdered in another part of the world (in horrible tortures) ...I think its a fine time to bring up the issue. 

I think it's worth pointing out that so many americans resemble the homophobic fear that the extremists in Iraq have and are acting upon (the very same people we have identified as backward religious nuts). The only difference is we, in our "civilized society", persecute the homosexuals in a generally less agressive way.

 You talk too much.

It's because he NEEDS attention, silly! (and maybe a dictionary...)

are you talking about Pen & Teller Bull ****?? The Organic episode was great! If you haven't seen it it's on OnDemand!! FUNNY

I didn't say she was ugly. she just is not absolutely beautiful or anything. I'm sure there are people just like her (with regards to how they choose their friends) who would like her, and some who would deny her as a friend because  she is not up to their standards. I'm just being honest.

wait....what?

LMAO!!!!!!

 You guys are hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, Jewelrybugg

territalk-

I highly doubt you are a "social scientist" though, it is cute of you to call yourself one. To be a scientist I would assume one would need an IQ over whatever 2 digit number yours appears to be. I guess maybe that is why you put the term in quotes...

If you had done proper "research" on the subject, and I don't mean the Gay = Bad book for children I'm sure you are referencing, you would have the brains and wisdom to know therapy does not "cure" homosexuals. Because you are born that way as one is born straight, and, therefore, cannot change it. If you dye your blond hair brown, you are still a blond.

Also, I don't know who taught you gay people can not bare children, but alas, they are uneducated, too. Gay people still have working sex organs and, therefore, can bear children. Maybe you just never discovered the word surrogate in your "research".

Gay people do not produce only gay people, if that were true then according to your "logic" (and I use that term lightly) there would be no gay people at all because after all, only straight people reproduce and a straight person would never birth a gay person, right? 

I see in your profile that you are in a group called depression. Maybe you need some therapy.

My mom wants to lose weight- like 80 lbs. but eats out for EVERY meal EVERY day! "I had a chicken sandwich from McDonald's. It's chicken so it's healthy." No it's not! It's McDonald's HELLO!

I tell her how I'm losing weight because she asks, but she doesn't do anything with the info. I ask her if she wants to go to the gym with me and she says no. Or she will ask to come and then says "Ok I'm done lets go." after 20 min of walking. I go for at least an hour and 10 min, so now my healthy workout is cut short. Oh and she says she plans on living to age 106. Yeah right! On McDonald's!

OR she skips breakfast and/or lunch and then complains  about not feeling well (she is hypoglycemic) and then says she can order pizza or chinese food for dinner because she didn't eat all day.    Sigh...

My sister who is a size 0 and can and will eat anything telling me I don't need to lose weight- that I'm being stupid and should have some cake and pizza.

I don't get it, my dad is super healthy. He lost 150 + lbs and works out and eats well. I am trying to be healthy like him. Why can't they respect that?!?!

only when i sit down!

I'm not sure you would make a very good psychologist based on what you have said annoys you, lol.

You refuse to exceed anything over 1200?? That is a foolish and naive thing to say. How old are you? If you are under 21 the min of cals you need is 1500 in order to avoid starvation mode.

The reason why the desire to eat is less these days is because you are starving youself so your body doesn't fel hungry anymore.

windra06,

YOU are an adult. For an ADULT female, 1200 is the minimum calorie intake. These kids are exactly that- KIDS. For a child/teen, 1200 calories a day is extremely dangerous.

You don't know how dangerous what you are saying is. You are telling kids to be unhealthy. As an adult, your intake has no fair correlation to the other posters on this topic.

Also, no one stops growing at 14. Even if you don't grow in height, your body is still changing. Your not the same as a teen.

Hey cool my bf is gonna start working there in June!
