No one assume it's a requirement, but people assume "OH, YOU'RE BISEXUAL, YOU MUST DATE WOMEN AND MEN AT THE SAME TIME!". It fucking irritated me how someone I used to know used to get creeped out that I may look at men sexually while dating her. Which I just thought "why would I think of ANYONE else when I have you?".

Tangiently related thing, but a girl I liked and hung out with when I was 14-15 (she was dating someone at the time, so we never were an item) recently told me that she's also bi, and that it had caused trouble with her new boyfriend, who was really jealous, and when he found out, got really suspicious about her spending time with her female friends.

She was also the first person I came out to IRL, now that I think of it. I still love he, you know. She's the type of person you really don't get over like that. But we can never be, waht with her having achild and living in aanother city and other such trivialities.

I've been poor. I've been loveless. I say being poor is easier to cope with; that I'm used to.

So love, definitely. Money is nice, but I'm rubbish with it. Cash doesn't spend much time in my wallet.

Bandwagon was right. The other things were "been bisexual for 4 months" and no, not the cheating, but the assumption that bisexuality requires polyamory and/or promiscuity.

And no, I am not drunk, you ARE alcohol, drunk of power, that is!

aactually I'm just really tired, which makkes me get all rambly.

This.

Also, aside from the premise being utterly ridiculous, Meyer is also a really, really bad writer; she doesn't know how to construct a dramatic arh, she can't create proper conflict, she writes flat characters, who are also either author inserts or wish fulfilment.

Similar crap fill the bargain bins and sci-fi/fantasy sections of book stores. The difference is, that Twilight, instead of getting what it rightly deserves ("50% off" price tag), it, a subpar piece of shitty genre fiction is sold in stacks in the middle of respectable book stores.

Fucking monopoly. There's always that one family member that's really good at it who insist on playing it, while others would rather pelt him with the game pieces.

I have a moral objection to Twilight; it gives a really warped view of love. Innaccuracies conserning the already-contradictory vampire lore is reallly a secondary concern to me, and Edward's masculinity (or supposed sexual orientation which i really would want people to stop using as an insult) are just non-issues.

What are issues are the creepy stalker thing, the bad writing (lack of real conflict, purple prose, flat characters, obvious author insert/wish fullfilment), the stupid abstiencce only message, and the ABSOLUTELY BATSHIT INSANE vampire pregnancy bullshit.

Well that's nice to know.

Really? Do quote me the part in the emails that actually says that the bulk of the research done in the past 20 years is all bunk.

Anyway, what I learned from this whole debacle is how the mind of a conspiracy theorist works; once they're given something that they cna percieve as proof, they become imprevious to critizism and start accusing everyone else of being naive or a part of a coverup.

And water and oxygen, nor CO2 are not called "pollutants" so much as "greenhouse gasses", which is true. Inflated amounts of Carbon Dioxide or Water Vapor in the atmosphere prevent heat from escaping the earth.

Now, if you let me put on my tin foil hat; I remember learning about the greenhouse effect first in the 90's. it was a generally accepted and uncontrovercial scientific theory. Then, in the 2000's, when the scientinst nudged the world leaders and kinda awkwardly said "Uh, you know, you should DO something about it, as it might be, you know, a threat to humanity", suddenly you get all sorts of "climate sceptics", scientists of various fields not related to climatology, and people who are usually on the payroll of companies that would be harmed if people actually took steps to prevent the warming.

I don't know why so many libertarians and tinfoil hats cling on to climate sceptism. i guess it just goes hand in hand with opposing any globally agreed on issue that would mean they would have to change their ways.

So far all proof I've seen is some messages that are said to be taken from the scientists; AFAIk they havn't confessed.

Wherther or not tey did lie, the problem is one can't dispprove the messages. Either thhey are realy, and the scientists admit it, they are real but the scientists won't admit it, they're not true and the scientists stand by that claim. Either way, the reputation is tarnished, and the conpiracy kooks won't believe anything.

But for the sceptics out there, I would point out that scientific papers are peer reviews, without a grand global conspiray (which, I do belive, some of you believe in anyway) you can't just pull something like this out of your ass.

I'm employed part time.

Men in general? Yes. Me? A bit. I'm not gonna lie; I find it a lot easier to approach a male authority than a female authority, because generally, female authorities are stricter as they have to prove themsleves (to people in general) to be worthy.

And I'm not completely free of sexism, most people aren't. I do recognize it though.

You came to the wrong palce if you "want to stay straight". It's just that kind of self hate that I see as the biggest problem.

It's not really something you can choose. Sexuality can chhange over time, and it can be a affected to some extent, but I don't think anyone should try to "correct" themselves. I know, it's harder to live a life outside the heterosexist norm, but there are better ways than keeling over and "going back to the closet because it's safer there".

Quick note I forgot; many people without insirance work two or more jobs. And not just any jobs. There are nurses without insurance; people who take care of others can't get care for themsellves, because their employers can't pay them enough. Because hospitals have to spend a buulk of their budget on the financial department that sneds people bills.

What is most ironic/tragic about the whole debate is the people who paint horrors of "death panels" and "healthcare rationing" when you already HAVE them. The insurance companies, who try to pay for the least of their customers as possible.

You do know that the current system of emergency rooms and free clinics is more expensive?

The United States uses 15% of its GDP on healthcare. The international avarage in 8,5%, and over here we use 7%. We have a longer life expectancy, lower infant mortality etc. We do have higher amout of obesity (but less morbid obesity), our fatties live longer.

As for taxes, I don't mind that my paycheck is cut. I, you know, don't think I'm somehow better than everyone else, and since the health care system here has treated my ashtma, hearing problems and thyroids, I can only say, you give, you get.

Everything about him is the exact same, he's just simply attracted to other men. Hell, that might even give him an edge over Poison Ivy. But it doesn't have to be HEY LOOK WE'RE OBVIOUSLY GAY to be gay superheroes.

Also, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn are heavily implied to be lovers. Meanhile, Mystique from X-Men is canon lesbian.

Apparently it's impossible to make GLBTQ superheroes without making them utterly stereootypical. Damnit. I really should start on ym project (includes one bisexual and one transsexual superheroo)

Anyway, lol, not telling.

"There are no risk groups, only risk behaviour". I lifted that from the sexual politics bit of the political program of the party I belong to.

Yeah, homosexuals may be at a higher risk of AIDS infection, but it's not because what they are, but how they act. In the same way, a straight man having lots of unprotected sexx with femlale prostitutes is as badly at risk as a gay guy having lots of unprotected anonymous sex.

Lesbians are like the lowest risk group after asexuals and the helplessly nerdy.

The Gay AIDS figure is partially explained by the lack of protection, and partly by the culture of promiscuity. I personally see two reasons for the promiscuity:

- Men in general are less interested in commitment. Wherther this is biological or social, that can be debated until the cows come home and be none the wiser. Guys also like sex. Guys like no strings attached sex. Guys have sexual fantasies of stuff like group sex, anonymous sex, and guys are also a lot more likely to pay for sex than women. There's no reason gay guys would be different from their straight brethren. Of course, with gays, it's easier because when in a room of 10 guys, everyone has nine potential partners, while with a 5/5 M/F group, everyone has five potential partners.

-Society frowns on Homosexuality, making it hard to be in an open, long term relationship. With little hope for a lifetime partnership, a lifetime of loose partnerships is fine too.

Fuck indecision.

I don't think that a certain sexuality or another is that much a requirement for posting here; the are guys who post in the female users club because they make good conversation; and Allies (GLBTQ friendly straights) are always welcome. And curious people.

Just no fucking Belgians. Ever.

It's not like techno is dominating the charts or anything. In fact, electronic music was more popular in the 90's.

But I do think electronic music might again gain mainstreamm acceptance, but rock won't go away either.

Also, by 2019, there's the first multi-millionaire rapper. I just know it.

In ten years, we'll either have the first commercial torrent client or the return of vinyl (because they're harder to pirate).

That's... kinda where I started as well. I mean, I had some conflicted feeings about guys, but Futa was the only thing I was comfortable with at first. Then I found yaoi. Then the real stuff. But IDK, if I had seen some goood gay porn in my adolesnce (...brb, sending myself email to six years ago) I might have come to terms with it all earlier.

An odd observation I made. There's a lot of rumours surrounding Dunking Donuts that paint it as some anti-American, anti-Christian nest of scum and villainy:

Allegged flag desecration
Not offering rewards for finding the killer of a police officer
Refusing a memorial for a dead soldier
Not serving servicemen

And then there was the Rachel Ray "Keffiyeh-gate". In continuation to the rumours (that are all false, btw), that one was also quite overblown because a) it was a scarf that resembled a Keffiyeh and b) So what? Thousandss of people wear keffiyehs in the west.

But what mesmerizes me is how so many of these rumours surround this one company. A Donut Franchise Restaurant, to boot.

Eh, I'm not really that pre-occupied about the whole thing. Well, more than I used to, but stil not all that much. I know there are better ways to meet people than clubing, really. I'd kinda like to start a GLBTQ activist group just to get dates, but I don't think that's that wise an idea either.
