That's not entirely true Mooni. If you have any kind of immunity to US law (say you're an ambassador or some kind of foreign national) then this is conferred to your family so any kids you have on us territory does not confer citizenship.

Personally I believe that the Congress does need to address this issue, because it causes problems for all parties involved and encourages individuals to take on very dangerous risks.

dude... you're 22 quit yer bitchin <3

Guy here, this is how my engineering buddies and I handled this without conflict.

1) Get square footage of each room (bedrooms, bathroom(s), kitchen and common areas).

2) Divide total rent by total square footage to calculate rental cost per square foot.

3) Assign value to each room according to square footage.

4) Each person pays according to their percent ownership:

 a) Bathroom 1 (attached to master) 100% to bro(1)

 b) Bathroom 2 (dettached in hallway) 20% to bro(1), 40% to bro(2), 40% bro(3)

 c) Common Area and Kitchen 33% to each.

 d) Bedroom 1 (master)100% to bro(1)

 e) Bedroom 2 100% to bro(2)

  f) Bedroom 3 100% to bro(3)

If it were me and I found out, the next time I paid you lip service, it'd be after eating something REALLY spicy.

Turnabout is fair play :)

Bologna.

The masses have power, in so far as they have the capacity (and desire) to riot out of control.

Their power is influence. Their method is fear.

Beyond that they have nothing, so without fear of meaningful reprisal or likelihood of being caught, the worlds leaders act in their own self-interest first.

Is the op proof that raw food diets make people crazy, or that only crazy people do the raw food diet?

Personally I suspect the latter, because otherwise why would a sane person start a raw food diet? ;)

(I would say "chicken or egg" but that analogy is flawed now that we know about evolution.)

Good point. What came first the seed or the fruit?

Interestingly enough and given all evidence to the contrary, many Buffalo fans would vehemently disagree with the statement that the Bills suck.

do fatties have feelings or is it just their blood sugar crashing?

I'm worth it.

Same here Octo... I would not be cool with my wife being with someone else while we're married. It'd probably crush me :(

Yet that they can keep a marriage together despite openly snogging other people seems pretty mature to me.

I have had many dogs and occasionally cats. I cried when all of them died, even my wife's deranged by distemper terrier that I nicknamed "El Diablo" and I hardly knew it well.

However, if I were hungry and had no better options I'd eat them too, personality and all.

If that's your thing, that's cool, but for me vegan isn't a better option.

I have asked myself this question before. While I still have no clear answer, I do think that it is realistic to expect honesty and honor. If that promise is made between people it should be kept.

 I agree. I think the problem is when people don't realistically evaluate themselves make a promise they can't or don't really want to keep.

Some people do.

and then take the easy way out

 Dunno that there's anything easy about taking that risk, it really depends on the nature of the infidelity, does it not? I mean on one side there could be the fear of what happens if one takes a step toward 'freedom' on the other, the fear of what happens if one does not.

I would wager that the great majority of cheaters don't think about the repercussions at all. By easy way out, I mean they forgo thinking (or caring) about their actions and associated consequences until they're likely to be found out. And at that point, the majority are likely only concerned with the consequences to themselves, and less so their spouse or children.

By taking the easy way out, I mean they shirk their responsibility to honor their commitments and do what provides immediate gratification.

Added evolutionary biologist David Barash, "It's within the realm of human potential, but it's not easy."

Combine that with the nature of most people to take the easy way out and...

think back to when you were 16: you knew it all and nobody could tell you otherwise

think back to when you were 18: you realize how little you knew at 16, now that you've got it all figured out

think back to 21: it's funny how green you were back when you just started college

are you seeing a trend yet?

I figure it probably means we go through life mostly clueless until we get to a point where we aren't, but by then it no longer matters :)
