| Hey, don't bash the people who go on those sites. My dad has a proilfe on there! ((OK, so he didn't pay, and it got him nowhere, but still.)) I can't see how internet dating would work very well, except in the "stopped clock right twice a day" scenario. And even if it did, I'd think that it would w... |

| The Nazi party itself is illegal there. Denial of the Holocaust is illegal. It makes perfect sense to me; they lived through the horrors the Nazi's created, they know that the Nazi party is EVIL, and they won't allow a repeat. Why doesn't that make sense to you? Because you validate them by noticin... |

My parents found each other through a newspaper ad.
They don't really work well together, though it has not yet gotten to the point of divorce. |

| I think it does a little bit, but a lot less than usual. I'm still thrown off a bit when someone who seems to be writing on the level of a 24-year-old turns out to be 16! :lol: and vice versa sometimes too I'm used to this from other forums I've been to. Often the idiots turn out to be in their thi... |

| Quintucket It took some that was working on String Theory a leap of faith just to stay in and believe in the Theory. Back in the 60s and 70s many scientists where laughing at these scientists but who is laughing now. String Theory took many years before it became accepted by the scientific communit... |

I don't see how being a complete idiot puts anybody in jeopordy.

| You have to wonder why somebody whould pay to meet people through a website anywhen. Though I suppose that the type of person who would do that would find the type of person who would do that through the site. Really though, there are so many people in most areas already, and if you need to meet thr... |

Could you try rephrasing it? |

| I'm guessing from your other posts and sig that you take issue with scientific theory on theological grounds? I may believe in God but I see science just a new religion that some may not see it as that yet. I have had many many PEOPLE say SCIENCE is their RELIGION. So that is why I take if need be ... |

| I'm sorry to hear that. Your belief may be a little irrational, but that doesn't mean it's wrong. A lot of overdoses of heroin (and other drugs) occur because there's no quality control. If you buy heroin on the street, it could be cut any number of ways and with any number of other substances. Pot... |

This issue here seems to be the old adage of "tragedy + time = comedy"
Different people have different definitions of how much time it takes.
Some people deny the adage entirely, most people tend to feel that it takes none as long as no one they know has been affected by the tragedy. |
