I understand this point, and like I said before, I wish Google would reimburse those people too. Those people shouldn't be forced into marriage to receive the tax break. But they won't, because they aren't gay. They won't because those people can just get married, homosexuals don't have that option. I mean, how many people do you know who aren't married that pay their taxes jointly? It still sucks, but homosexuals don't have that option to get married, so yes some couples who never plan to get married may suffer, but that's an incredibly small amount of people I'm guessing. Give homosexuals marriage rights, get rid of what google is doing now, everyone wins. But that will never happen because America is populated by a bunch of gray people who hide their hate by using the excuse of "it's against Christianity!"

That would be the only downside to this, however straight domestic partners have the option of marriage while homosexual ones don't. Of course that still doesn't help the straight couples who prefer DP over marriage, although I'm guessing that is a minuscule amount. Solution would be to give homosexuals marriage rights, but of course that's not going to happen

Everyone goes home with the same amount of money. If Google didnt do this, gay couples would go home with less money. Not equality. Thank you, at least someone gets it

Great movie, it's too bad it got eclipsed by the matrix

If not getting a tax break is oppression, which is what you appear to think based on your support for Google's policy, then I am oppressed. A certain demographic gets a tax break that I don't - why isn't Google supplementing my income to offset that? The only two demographics that this applies to is married couples, because it is a tax break relating to paying on each others health benefits. Heterosexual couples get the break, homosexual couples don't because they are homosexual. As a straight, unmarried person this tax break does not effect you one iota. If it were white married couples who got the break and not black married couples would you still be against this? Homosexuals aren't making more money, google is just making sure they take home the same pay as the other people.

Government treating people different based on sexual preference. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with Googles decision. Jeez. >_> If you're first thing I quoted wasn't sarcasm, then sorry I thought it was. Google can't do that though, they are doing everything in their power to even things out though

Government treating people different based on sexual preference. Nothing wrong with that. Are you just not reading the thread or something? Google is making sure everyone takes home the same $

Google can't get sued because homosexuals aren't a protected group. And IIRC, it applies to homosexuals in a DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP. So it's not just saying you're gay and that's that. Google is compensating for the homosexuals having to pay for stuff like health benefits on their partner, while heterosexual married couples don't have to pay that I also can't see how people are saying this is discrimination when all google is doing is making sure everyone makes the same for the same work, which the government doesn't seem very keen on.

Maybe this will be a good step to equal marriage rights for homosexuals.

Defendor was actually pretty awesome also. So was "Special", possibly even better

Tell her to give you evidence to back up her claims. No way in hell anyone has ever been to ICU from drinking protein shakes

Ask her what her reasoning is for being anti-supplement, then tell her to do some research

I've heard that the Chocolate or Double Chocolate or something like that flavor of ON is delicious in milk. I didn't notice the breakfast thing, but I know I rarely eat breakfast personally, even though I REALLY should. Zero appetite in the mornings + nausea = a glass of milk and maybe a granola bar or something :oops:

I'm not too sure what it would taste like, I'm waiting until the stuff I use has run out to try it. I'm thinking of mixing it with chocolate milk though. Well, look on the plus side of being underweight: you can put on a [cabbage] ton of lean muscle and look great. [hide] [/hide]

Some people think they look better, but mainly as a status symbol. I really wish I kept my RC cape untrimmed. Well the trim makes them look way better and skillcapes are just one of several status symbols. Leaving it untrimmed hardly contributes to status. Not trying to start an argument with anyone but it's just my opinion and most likely the majority's. I think untrimmed prayer cape looks WAY better than trimmed. The all white is pretty stunning imo

Best price I've found on protein is True Protein recession whey http://www.trueprotein.com/product_listings.aspx?cid=22&v=2 Yes, it's 25 LBS, however it would last 6 months at two scoops a day (that's 48 grams of protein and 240 calories from the two shakes combined a day). Note that it is unflavored e: Another option is Optimum Nutrtion (or ON) Whey Gold Standard

I worked today, and we had a Queen impersonator there as some sort of draw to the races :wall:

Today was Canada day

I'd just start with full body

pushups and situps kinda suck, and sit ups are good for doing more sit ups (hip flexors)

Seems like it's a different story for the hardcore top tier athletes who do tons of exercise, he seems to get a lot of protein and not an over abundance of fat though I'd imagine they do hours of exercise and cardio a day, which certainly is far more than the average person

Good starting point is Starting Strength

Well if you do cardio + lift you're going to need to eat even more probably
