[quote user="RoseCodex"] I'm not sure why I have to repeat this again but I will. Government is a conceptual label placed on certain people for whom it is considered moral and necessary to do things which are generally considered immoral for others to do. Philosophical Anarchism is the understanding that no such conceptual label can make

A few things came to mind reading your post. I'm not an expert in health/nutrition, so take this with a grain of salt, but it is what I have gleaned over the years. The more overweight you are, the easier it is to lose weight (there is that saying about how the last 10 pounds is the hardest to lose). So keep that in mind, and don't think you

[quote user="TimS"] Got back from work to find that STer has said everything I could have said and more, except better and without the seething irritation. <3 [quote user="pretzelogik"]Since it's "ridiculous" to show "contempt/hatred" of those who spank, what exactly does the data suggest we show as an

[quote user="nvgasso"] k. anna. I'll extend the same invitation to you. no one said all the communication on the planet being violent, just bs conversations between two people one or both of which care nothing about the other.

Specifically, emotional violence towards her by refusing to communicate with her [/quote

I just got to thinking (and forgive me if it's forward to talk as if the two of you are going to end up together, but that's the way you introduced the situation)... Before you two met each other, neither one of you could have known whether or not you would end up being the spouse with the higher income. Maybe it would be reasonable for a nurse

Good luck! :) By the way, not sure if it's just my computer, but your post goes off the edge of my screen without offering a horizontal scrollbar. I had to copy + paste it into a text editor to read the right half of it. Did you write it in a word processor or something? I have the best luck here either typing directly into the web form, or typing

Try this thought experiment: Imagine your girlfriend made more $$$ than you, and therefore it would make more economic sense for her to be the breadwinner. How would you feel about giving up 10-15 years of the prime of your working life in order to raise your kids? Sure, you get to form strong relationships with your kids, and have fun with them, etc

I take it from the silence that I made a good point and no one has any counterarguments? It's not a huge deal, but I am proud of myself for having dispelled a myth (that even I believed for a moment) about small donations. I hope others find it useful in deciding how to donate.

[quote user="ribuck"] [quote user="xelent"] Well those that do, are free to correct me of course. [/quote] I'm a donor. But it makes no sense for you to care about that. The merits or otherwise of an argument don't depend on donations. [/quote] Same here, and I agree. To answer your question, Patrick, here is the part of
