You still love him. Notice the period at the end of the sentence. He occupies your thoughts. Get him out of there. He doesn't love you. Commit to dedi...

Here's the next chapter. Jessi Lynn looked across the paved garden, a single tear dripping down her meth pocked skin, her two front teeth hanging on b...

The wallpaper, wooden chairs, cool kitschy shelf, true Americana.

Combining this innocuous (and useless) comment with @"T Clark"'s playful (and autistic) penchant for lists, I've come up with the following interestin...

I do wish him the absolute best if for no other reason than to save us from the insufferable pontification that will follow its demise.

You haven't explained why the theory understandable only by George is not a theory. What word do you use to describe a true explanation that no one in...

Where did he go by the way?

Look at you checking out the scenery. Sounds like you were getting busy at the gym. And by "busy," I mean preggers. H8r. Either they changed their beh...

See, this is just that you don't get guy humor, having not a Johnson. Good example, I have this friend and he was accused of inappropriate conduct wit...

True, but intent is complicated because you're assuming sufficient empathy and understanding of the audience is in the equation when the joke is consi...
April 26, 2018 at 20:03
Perhaps, but this is over generalized and non-contextualized. It is possible the person was just joking. In The Office video posted above, those in th...

You point out here that I've advocated conflict avoidance. A description of what it means to avoid conflict. One area where I'd disagree is that the c...

Oh, Tiff, you haven't a truly mean bone in your body. I give you the right to take your best jab at me. It will no doubt have some playfully cutting r...
April 26, 2018 at 14:55
I think that's probably both of our points, which is that the middle ground is terribly vague, which makes it hard to navigate. The solution then come...

There is a boldness in honesty, but now you need to be actually bold. It sounds uncomfortable for you, so I now give you permission to say whatever sa...

I don't think there's every actually been someone emigrate from the US to Turkey, so I don't know what would happen.
April 26, 2018 at 13:51
Actually, if you plan to give up your citizenship and plan to come back later and get it back, you better write it in pencil where you can erase it. I...

Isn't Turkey next to the mashed potatoes and green beans? I'll be here all night folks.

Oh stop your touchy feely talk and tell me how much you like my new clock. Pretty sweet, huh?
April 26, 2018 at 13:30
I think we all can agree with the platitude that we should strive towards civility, not bully, be polite, consider the views of others, respectfully d...

How is asking your opinion smearing your opinion?
April 26, 2018 at 03:30
How is that responsive? I asked a yes or no question.Count: there are 4 question marks and zero responses.
April 26, 2018 at 03:15
You qualified your post at the end by saying you were in unfamiliar territory, hedging a bit. It struck me as less than bold is all.
April 26, 2018 at 03:06
I've not attempted to violate their free speech rights, but I don't think their views are worthy of debate. Do you disagree? I made no assumptions. I ...

He said "much" of Nazism was wrong, so I asked that he highlight the good parts. He also said he disagreed that my opposition to Nazism was not reason...

What was the good part of Nazi Germany?
April 26, 2018 at 02:17
A Nazi is one advocating the systematic slaughter of non-Aryans. My opposition to that chosen ideology is reasonable and earned. Do you disagree? They...

If social norms designate certain conduct for anything, whether it be boys not cry, that you applaud at a play, sit silently at a funeral, or whatever...

I'm not sure neo-Nazis are up for a substantive argument. My view is that they be subjected to public ridicule, be ostracized, and be excluded from ci...
April 26, 2018 at 00:43
These were my thoughts. It's sort of male caricature talk, supported by personal anecdote, and sort of off-putting, as I'd imagine a woman might feel ...

I've always assumed the average Democrat looks at it as you do, which is that average Republicans are apologetic toward racists because they are eithe...

Is your point that we shouldn't be concerned about aggressive acts of anti-Semitism, racism, and general acts of hate as long as they're isolated inci...

Thanks, and I feel so secure with you holding me tight.

Is this like an ongoing thing where you guys mess with each other and it's all in fun and you laugh at each other's antics or is it more passive aggre...

That's true, with a good example being Russia's aquisition of Crimea, a modern day crime if there ever were one.
