  1. The natural purpose of sexual intercourse is reproduction. Homosexual intercourse cannot result in reproduction, therefore it does not fulfil its natural pupose. Really? Then why only humans and dolphins enjoy it? And in general, if sex's only purpose is reproduction, why do we enjoy it? If food's only natural purpose is nourishment, why do we enjoy it? It's a side effect, it is irrelevant to the natural function of it. I've already gone over my problem with multiple marriages, I don't see what you're trying to prove. This is a primal instinct, one that as humans, and not merely animals, we can and have forgone throughout history. Not at all, today more than ever males are out seeking to mate with as many females as possible. It exists today on a very large scale. Because society today tells us its ok to [bleep] whoever we want with no thought for the consequences. What? Cheating is nothing new. The Bible itself poses rules against affairs, etc ("You shall not commit adultery" / "You shall not covet"). But these have become morewidespread as people lose respect for marriage.
  2. The natural purpose of sexual intercourse is reproduction. Homosexual intercourse cannot result in reproduction, therefore it does not fulfil its natural pupose. Yes, I'll give you that one. I suppose it is more our morals that have shaped that opinion. Which is still frowned upon in todays society. Relationships and marriage are different things. A relationship should be a test to see if a marriage is possible. Of course different relationships will happen,but only one marriage should. This is a primal instinct, one that as humans, and not merely animals, we can and have forgone throughout history. Something that has really only become as widespread as it has throughout the past half century due to the decay of morals and values in society.
  3. Yay? Well, it sounds too positive. I'm stuck in between. They're not particularly cool, but they're not terrible either. If this is still supposed to be the classy thread, then no, not classy at all. Tip: Stop buying your shoes at Spring. It's a low-end store's (Aldo) low-end line. If you want cool footwear, check out Jack Threads, it's always 50-80% off retail price. Mainly streetwear brands like Durkl, alphanumeric, Matix, Altamont. That's actually the first pair I've bought from there. I wasn't a huge fan of them but I badly needed new shoes so whatever.
  4. Not the archives subforum??!!! :( Sounds good.
  5. This updates automatically, does it? It seems to be pretty much a copy of the GE, unless I'm missing something. Still, looks very useful :)
  6. We've always done what is natural for us. This has been maintained throughout our entire existence. Why are we predominiatly heterosexual? Because it's natural. Why do we view murder as a bad thing? Because it's natural. Why, for almost all of our existance, have people stuck to one spouse? Because it's natural. You are attempting to prove that monogomy isn't natural for us, but I haven't seen the slightest bit of real evidence to prove so.
  7. But yet the vast majority of the population prior to 50 years ago had no serious inclinations for doing so. If this was indeed "unnatural" as you claim, why did it take us so long to change it in society? We have always done what is natural for us. So basically you are claiming that every marriage in the past was forced, and a sham simply because it wasn't as easy to be polygamous. There is a lot of documentation to prove that polygamy did occur in the past, by people who wanted to do it. It was seen as acceptable in some cultures but still is. If it was really something people wanted so badly, they would have done it far earlier than now. I still maintain that the attitude of society today towards fulfilling your own desires with no thought for others, or morals has contributed to rising divorce rates and will continue to do so.
  8. I bought these a few days back since they were cheap: http://www.myspringshoes.com/ca-eng/men/shoes/sneakers/77787366-hemery/96 Yea or Nay?
  9. Can you actually view the videos? It is possible that they actually are corrupted.
  10. No. Problem with society today is that monogamy isn't natural for us. A prenup doesn't make a divorce easier. If after living together after so many years that it's become a habit, plus the memories and shared commitments such as children, 2 people STILL want a divorce, whether the financial side is slightly less messy or not isn't going to be the tie breaker. And by saying monogamy isn't natural, you mean what? I mean we're hardwired to go through many partners and not stick with 1 person, but society and marriage conflict with that. There are so many unhappy couples because marriage goes against our nature. I second that. I don't. What makes you think we're hardwired to not stick with one person? And why is it that after thousands and thousands of years of successful lifelong unions divorce has only started to be a problem within the last 50 years?
  11. I really don't sweat very much, so deodorant once or twice a day is good enough for me. In the summer, I mostly go shirtless when I'm inside, and if I'm outside I'm probably doing some strenuous physical activity so I consider it a lost cause then.

    Maturity

    Maturity is one of those things that can be judged better but those outside then yourself. I try to be a mature, and think I acheive this at times, but other times I don't. It's something that everyone needs to work on, and I don't think anyone ever achieves "perfect maturity"

    Maturity

    Maturity is a relative thing...someone really isn't just "mature" or "immature". In general, I try to be mature, but I have moments, like everyone else does, where I say or do something immature.
  15. This. Norton has gotten signficantly better, I have Norton 360 on both my laptop and desktop, and never have any memory isses, and never get viruses. If your Dad is dead set on it, I'd say just let him get it. And McAfee is terrible.

    Maturity

    Maturity really depends on the context of the situation. People may show maturity at certain times and not at others. Maturity is the ability to act like an adult; to have a realistic and legitimate response to certain situations. Maturity doesn't always entail seriousness, but seriousness in most situations is a sign of maturity. I'm assuming you mean emotional maturity, as I don't consider physical maturity to be in the same boat at all.
  17. Lol nice. Got my sanctified t10 shoulders yesterday :D
  18. Send me the script, I'll take a look at it but I'm not promising anything.
  19. Welcome back, I'm sure you'll do a great job as you did before! Good thing I don't eat skittles :P
  20. Same lockout? [bleep]ing gay. So when I pug a 25 raid and we wipe after the first boss i'm basically screwed for the week, horray. Ps. Did ICC 10 with a good guild, everyone had like 5.8k+ gs but we managed to wipe twice on Lady D and then call it lmao :(

  22. What can I say, you look good in red ;)

  23. Can't really put this in words, so this gif should suffice.
  24. Sorry, but this is a load of simplistic crap. You're spouting platitudes and theories and you have no real world experience to back it up. You also sound like you're under the influence of religious brainwashing. I've been married almost as long as you've been breathing. And yes, it does take commitment and working through difficult patches. But that is only possible when there is at least some basis for the relationship continuing. It is *not* always possible for that to happen, especially when one person changes radically. Many couples get divorced because one person becomes very different over time from what they were when they tied the knot. And some do because they never should have been married in the first place. I know someone who did exactly that -- married someone he never should have. I knew it at the time, but he didn't. He made a mistake, and so did she. Why the hell should they have to spend the rest of their lives suffering from it? In case you hadn't noticed, most people get married when they are young -- often VERY young. Our "society" has decided that at 18 you are too young to be trusted with the responsibility of drinking a beer, but you are old enough to make a decision that impacts the rest of your life. There are few people who are at 40 what they are at 20. And the idea of forcing someone to live for 50+ with a bad decision they made as a teenager or young adult is beyond idiotic: it is sadistic. Even a second degree murderer gets paroled at some point. I can't claim to have been "married as long as I've been breathing" but I have been in a long term relationship for quite some time, almost 3 years in fact. I never claimed that every single marriage was meant to be, which is why I think people should be more careful. I further agree that many people get married too young. But I still think that the huge majority of people with divorces are in situations where they could make their marriage work, and make it work well, and just give up too early.
