I remember Dr. Strangelove... excellent movie. :D

In 2005 my history teacher played it for a class on the Cold War. Nobody understood but me. :p

Some did, some didn't, but there were subtitles. :p

The problem is that they found it boring because they didn't get the whole Cold War setting.

I blame Michael Bay. When plot devices go from clever turns of phrase and silliness courtesy of Peter Sellers to explosion after explosion...

afternoon here, but have a good one.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Probably because the 1950s version was too cerebral for todays' audiences.
Oh and as an aside, if I ever find an official prop of one of the war machines I will go into untold debt to acquire it!

Oh by the way, on that whole free love thing, I have some reading for you if you still have questions or thoughts on the matter.

Find yourself a copy of The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton. It's a sex positivist eye opener to say the least.

I promise to research it when I get home from the office (give it 5 hours or so). I have only seen the Ethical Slut trope for now. But as I said earlier, I don't believe having more than one sexual partner makes anybody a slut. Please excuse, however, if I incur in bigotry by saying I wouldn't do it myself (at least as of here and now), because I don't know how to handle it, and I don't mean to other people to be hurt if I do that.

This indeed.

I may not be the best person to deal with this, but I'm willing to offer whatever assistance is in my power.

Tired is okay. If your body says it wants rest, that is hardly surprising. Take care of yourself.
Life is a tragedy to those who feel, a comedy to those who think, and a musical to those who sing.

I am the very model of a Nation States General,
I am a holy terror to apologists Confederal,
When called upon to source a line, I give citations textual,
And argue about Palestine, and marriage homosexual!

Exactly. And we're only counting empathetic caring humans, not the asshole in certain threads who need a good kicking and an empirical experience to get the idea.
I regularly volunteer with RAINN, and they have a lot of resources available including lists of therapists, clinics, and other resources that will help. Even if it feels like you have a handle on things now, believe me those sort of groups help a lot more the sooner you seek them out.
