Oh, wait. Now I get it! You can call others nasty names but others can't call YOU nasty names!

re: rkzenrage

I'm not singling out either behavior. The question applies to both, as well as every other sexual behavior. Let's say I'm your partner (wink wink). If I used to like X, and it's something that you can't deal with, you better rethink our relationship. I haven't stopped liking X just because I'm hooked up with you. If I like you well enough, I might make a huge effort to stop X'ing, but that's no guarantee. If I stopped X'ing prior to meeting you, great. It's still, however, a part of me that might resurface later.

The point is, people existed prior to your knowing them, so don't expect that they are going to make wholesale changes just because you're in the picture.

With that in mind, it's perfectly acceptable to decide whether or not to date someone based on any criteria you set, whether consciously or not. It's not "unfair" or "judgemental" or anything else. It's your life, and you get to decide who's in it.

The IDEA of marriage is change.
What doesn't make sense about it? I mean, maybe it doesn't, but what specifically? Of course you make lots of changes when you get married...I'm talking about things that are real incompatibilities.

...Because that sentence encapsulates your whole argument.

Well BM I think its unfair of you to attack Ibram, I personally disputed every facet of every argument you had, with proof, and your (not you're) only reply was "Sally". I understand now that once you have nowhere else to go you tell someone they're (not there) a "Sally". You reverted to namecalling like a child when you realized that your opinion (and thats all it is) was faulty, lacked basis and was discounted with facts. I agree with Ibram when he said - "it means you will not keep yourself in the gene pool. You've socially darwinized yourself out of reproduction" Thank goodness!

Oh, and bmw? Call me a 'sally' all you want... Hell, even call me a queer or worse if you like. You'd be right, and I'd be proud. People like you is what makes me hate the fact that I'm male.

I secede from maledom.

Let me encapsulate your retort..."Sally."

How pathetic. Don't fret about your maleness; get a sex change, a poodle, and a house with a dry well in the basement. "Its puts the lotion on."

Hey do put on makeup and tuck your maleness behind your cross legs and stand in front of a full length mirror twirling about.

Let me tell you, it's quite fun. Not that you need me to tell you I'm sure.

Men are jerks. End of story. There are exceptions, many of the men here are exceptions, but you arent. You are a typical, selfish, stupid, woman-hating man. I have nothing but contempt for people like you.
I dont want to argue with you, you'll just drag it down to homophobia and namecalling like you do with every single other argument so far. But I also vote ban, if it comes to that, because youre losing your entertainment value fast.

That was as offensive as anything he has said.
