♫ Am I only dreaming, is this burning.. the eternal thread ♫

[Dyakovo]

Back away from the computer and calm down.

...Okay, seriously, third time tonight I've seen people telling someone to calm down for no real reason at all.
What the heck happened to General in my self-imposed exile?

I don't know, Drowned Girl, some people are oversensitive.
You'd think my presence would counteract that...

[The United Colonies of Earth]

..... umm...okay then...

I agree wholeheartedly with Barbie…

Seconded!

A website I read pretty much said that such people are to a degree feminine in sexuality. It went on to say that as a result such people have no sexual orientation.

As mark Twain said, not everything you read on the net is true.

Yeah, that website was a little weird. It described males as being competitive and against being subjected to rules.

For one thing I consider myself bisexual, which is always subject to change, and I don't want to grow up in a future where people like me aren't tolerated or accepted. The fact that countries like America are so accepting of the LGBT community now makes me feel glad for the future of our species.

I actually found it almost strange how supportive a lot of young Americans are of them. I grew up in a place where they seemed to be mocked, shunned or marginalized, so that was kind of seeming unusual for me.

This country has changed a lot in the past 60 years. I wouldn't say there is equity in all areas but we have made tremendous strides, which no one seems to remember .

We're an idealistic bunch who grew up in a country that prizes itself as the land of freedom and whatnot, and has adopted an increasingly expansive definition. I wonder if the 60s-based Civil Rights activists and feminists had anything to do with it...wait, that's a silly statement. Of course they did!
I mean, the Greenwich Village riots were in the 60s.

Well, on the other side, environmentalism is so ingrained here that even the conservative parties support it, with one state governor even being member of the Green party. "Back to nature" isn't a recent fad here, but a part of the culture here since the 18th century.

Nothing. From what I've seen, this isn't usual.

You've been here for less than a year. I stopped posting regularly here around the time your nation was founded.

I would imagine you would have the opposite effect.

[Dyakovo]

Well, that's slightly suprising.

I have little to no patience for hateful bigots.

Perhaps some are in a bad mood (minus Dyakovo. He's always like that).

[Barboneia]

Good. They don't deserve patience when most of the things they spout is utter nonsense.

[Dyakovo]

Look on the bright side... At least it wasn't inside.

It wasn't the wife is the bright side.

Mine's a bright side too...
Car accidents inside your house really, really suck.

Inside?!
They're must be a really good story behind this, except for Mermania's.

[Ethel mermania]

How about. Normal.

So everyone who has one-night stands isn't normal?

In all my life I have had maybe 2 or 3 one night stands. . Most sexual encounters are not one night stands and In my experience the best relationships start as friendships.

Point still stands, really.

[Barboneia]

I really need to get a stress ball.

I guess. Must have been the influence of TV shows that I thought otherwise.

One would think...
Maybe it's just the different demographics.

[In Gentem Et De Libris Scientiam]

I really need to get a stress ball.

why?

I...I just explained how it doesn't.

[Dyakovo]

Me being nicer than normal here is actually indicative of me being in a bad mood irl. Of course it's also indicative of me being in an especially good mood irl...

[Allancia]

I really need to get a stress ball.

And balls!
Oh god, what lows have I sunken to?

[Barboneia]

I really need to get a stress ball.

why?

Because everything's been going awfully for me lately and I doubt it will cease soon.

[Ava Ire]

Nobody should.

He reminds me of Divair a lot now.

I didn't know that Germany had such a long environmental tradition.
That uniqueness amazes me.

People I know describe stuff from 5 years ago as "old". I mean- yeah, it's a third of your life ago, but in the national historical perspective? That's nearly brand new.

Like what?

[Ethel mermania]

It wasn't the wife is the bright side.

Mine's a bright side too...

Fair point. The screaming seemed to stopped and a tow truck has arrived.
