Another bible thumper q&a

1of5 comments on Sep 30, 2019:

Me: You were still taught all those things by someone telling them to you, they just told you where they learned them, which was someone else teaching them. All religions to some extent teach morals that are similar, are all thier holy texts right or from god if they teach the same things, despite it comjng from different gods "mouths"?

What effect will impeachment proceedings have on the 2020 elections?

1of5 comments on Sep 30, 2019:

Depends on how the proccess unfolds, what it uncovers, and what the final outcome actually is. What'd be awesome is if Trump is impeached, Pence takes over as pres, and Trump runs again (not against the law). That'd fracture up the Republican party sufficiently so my goldendoodle could be elected both president of the U.S. and local dog catcher - despite him not being 35 years old for pres and the inherent conflict of interest in electing a dog as dog catcher.

Why is my boyfriend silent during sex? Your thoughts?

1of5 comments on Sep 30, 2019:

Once you change him into what you like I hope you're both still happy with him. He might not be telling you what he likes/wants because hes told others what he likes/wants before and gotten negative reactions from it. That tends to shut us up and be much more cautious to the question *What do you like?*, especially when around someone who likes things "just so". Don't ask him what he likes. Ask him if there's anything hed like to try that he's never done before or only been able to do infrequently, and make sure you don't laugh or appear shocked at what he says. Also make sure you try and do it - he's trying to do what you like that he normally doesn't, after all. If a woman sent me that article after we'd had sex twice I'd at that point consider the relationship temporary at best. Hopefully that's just me and not him, though.

As much as I'd like to see some of the women wipe the floor with a few of the guys, I don't think it'd be a good idea. Besides, what would be the motivation for a guy to even fight a woman? At best he beats a gal, worse he loses to a gal. Neither would be that impressive on his resume in the machismo world of the UFC. I guess we'll see what happens if/when there's a TG fighter. Maybe if a couple breaks up (there are a few in the UFC, if memory serves) they could have a grudge match or something. Probably want 2 or 3 refs working that fight, though.

If the bike was damadged there's a decent chance it's not safe to drive anymore, which could lead to another, worse accident. Hope he's ok too.

She's smart, is a good administrator (huge part of running a country) and has the rare ability to be understood on complex issues without overly dumbing things down (much like Carl Sagan was able to do). She understands both the benefits and risks of a capitalism based economy and has good ideas on how to regulate the worst parts of it without destroying the parts of it that actually work. I wanted her to run in 2016 but oh no, the dems already had thier follow up candidate to break the glass ceiling after putting a black man in the WHITE house. Fuckers But best of all, I think she'd actually be able to make Donald walk off the debate stage on national tv. He'd never live down turning tail and running from a woman with his base - it'd be awesome and swing the election.

So a guy you were keeping at arms length meets and focuses on someone else - as he should if he's trying to make the relationship with her work - and once it doesn't work out he starts talking with you again, and you want to know if you should be offended? Why don't you ask him what happened, you know, as a friend? And yeah, you and probably half the women he knows he considers as a back up plan - that's how dating works when the person seems to need to be in a relationship. In all honesty you should do both of you a favor and just quit talking to him, though.
