thanks

If you have things you need to discuss, then you probably aren't ready to tie the knot.

Personally, I think everyone should live together for at least a year before getting married.  This way the "newness" of the relationship has worn off and you aren't constantly trying to impress each other.

I usually have a few torrents that list as not connecting, but not in the last couple of days.

Maybe the difference is that I'm only seeding now and you're downloading????????

Privacy laws in the US are extremely good, BUT they don't prevent the government from snooping; legally or illegally.

We use ID and love it.

I have friends from pretty much every group, except extremists of any type.  I don't do extremism.

I've been with Sky for years and I have to keep resetting my "allow adult sites" thing every few months.  It's fucking annoying.  The law says I only have to do it once but can change it at any time, at least the last time I looked it did.

I'm from the generations, as mentioned in a previous post, where "queer" was nothing but a hate-filled word.  I can't stand that word.

Skyrim Remastered, about 30 minutes ago.

I just bought the remastered version and it's still downloading.

I played the original version.

I play on and off.

I'm not really a fan of the fact that there is no matchmaking for the more advanced content, since there is no chat system.

I agree with marriage tests when it applies to immigration, but not in general.

In the post-election interview Trump did with CBS, he said that gay marriage was "set in stone" as the law of the land and had no intention of trying to change that.

Also, since the US Supreme Court rules that marriage equality was a constitutional issue (equal under the law), it would take a constitutional amendment to change get rid of gay marriage.  It would take between 7 and 14 years for that to happen, based on previous constitutional amendments.

The sad part is, liberals are the worst when it comes to voting.  Proof of this is the US election, Brexit and Houston.  Everyone thought they didn't need to vote because others would ensure the election would go their way.  If all the rioters actually bothered to vote, Hillary would have won.

Well, it looks like there's hope on the horizon.  If all goes well, it should be on the shelves in less than 10 years.

@tempbo:

Reading this and other political boards has really opened my eyes. I used to believe that, because of the things we've been through individually and as a group, gay people were a little better than average. A little smarter, a little braver, a little more aware. Now I see that we really are just as prone to the same stupidity and blindness as everyone else, clearly evidenced here by every mouth-breathing Trump voter. Congratulations, my fellow gays: you just as dumb and self destructive as straight people. Thanks for disillusioning me that way.  :nutki:

:police: Please watch the flaming.  :police:

Ok, so you don't read any of your links.  That explains why you have no idea what I'm talking about.

Popper's comments make sense.

The built-in forum PM system had a security flaw (don't ask, I'm not a techie) so it had to be shut off to protect our members.

Ok, I removed the sample warning.  Don't worry, it has no effect on your forum use.  I just wanted you to see what happens when you get one.

Forum and site (torrent based) warnings use different systems.  It's been absolutely ages since I did site warnings, so maybe it's a part of that from the last site upgrade???????  But why would it have my name attached????

I have absolutely no idea what this is about.   I haven't given you any warnings on your account.

I'll give you a "sample" warning so you can see what it looks like.

The warnings have different colors, going to red, depending on how serious the level is.

@raphjd:

The USSC rarely reverses it's decision and it's never done it to strip a group of their rights.    And as with all supreme court cases, it takes years to wind their way through the courts and by then too much time would have passed.

You are getting hysterical over something that has worse odds than winning the lottery.

Your entire argument is idiotic on its face. Trump has outright stated that overturning Roe v. Wade is a litmus test for his judicial nominations. So yeah, his whole goal is to overturn a supreme court decision that would strip rights from millions of people.

The fact that it would take years is why it will likely happen. RBG, Kennedy, and Breyer aren't all going to stick around waiting for a more ideologically friendly president and senate to replace them.

And, let's not forget that Supreme Court can rip apart state level ENDAs. Also let's not forget what an SC can do with RFRA in its back pocket.

We had a chance to secure decades of progress, but instead we now have a tin hat dictator surrounded by anti-gays.

Trump has already said (post-election CBS interview, I think it was) that he considers marriage equality set in stone as law.  He said he has no interest in even trying to undo it.

Roe v Wade can't be viewed in the same way as marriage equality.  Abortion laws affect ALL people that are able to get abortions, not just a subset.

Religious Freedom laws are impossible to enact without hindering believers' rights.  Allowing them to only discriminate against fags will hinder some's religious beliefs against blacks, etc, etc, etc, etc.
