Wow, you and I should NEVER hang out XD But seriously, no fucking idea. I never even had to consider this kind of problem till a few weeks ago and its causing no small amount of discord in my own world. Its less about "what people would think" and more about being kept away from family. I...

Not quite yet. It probably wont be until season 2 starts.

That was one of the most amazing things I've read in a very, very long time.

I was like three seconds from giving up on OKC when they threw a perfect pitch. She's pretty awesome.

Sounds like pretty standard stuff to start with. I had similar problems with hardcore cognitive dissonance once I came to the realization that I was poly. Its counter to all your prior programming and that programming doesnt go without a fight. Which led to stuff like... Because you still have...

Ask the Kurds or Stephanie Lizon. There is some shit you just do not do.

I hate that slogan, I really do.

Not sure I agree. Our ways of thinking and seeing the world seem incredibly simple to us, we're sort of biologically programmed to smooth over conflicting ideas and make our worldview as simple and obvious to us as possible. That doesn't necessarily extend to the viewpoint of others. Someone...

On a personal level, I would have no objections to fighting alongside a female soldier on the basis of her gender. I think the idea that women somehow "cant hack it" or just arent "made for combat" are unmitigated twaddle at best; as Grey has already pointed out, women have been fighting in...

Totes. One of the remarks I usually get when I meet people I've talked to online is "Wow, you are SO much less of an asshole in person!" :D

Bad idea for the army, bad idea for people. I've never seen a DADT situation end well. Inevitably, someone finds out about someone else and there's surprise, anger, hurt feelings and generally negative reactions. I usually extend the saying to "What is out of your sight, you will let drive you...

Welcome to the 'hood. I've always been somewhat fascinated with the concept of asexuality simply because it's almost completely opposite of my general outlook that I find it a difficult concept to fully wrap my head around. Perhaps it just comes from being a horny little spider monkey but sex...

90% of all romance movies/books/tv shows. One of the most common themes I've seen in these stories is the love triangle as the central problem that the story rests on. In most cases, there's no solid reason a poly or poly-esq arrangement wouldn't work out aside from the characters being barely...

I don't think I've ever looked "normal" a day in my life. If you saw me walking down the street you'd notice me: I'm six feet tall, with long red hair (usually in a ponytail). I usually wear a thick leather (welding) jacket with marker on it, over a t-shirt (usually a black punk band shirt)...

Perhaps I should explain more clearly the specifics of the ownership but first I want to address your example of time. From where I stand agreeing to enter into a relationship with someone, romantic or otherwise, generally includes some tacit form of agreement to share your time with the other...

My first experience was at 14 with a girlfriend. It was awkward as hell but I wouldn't say unpleasant, I was more nervous than anything. That relationship did not end well but I at least have an awareness as to why so those mistakes aren't repeated. Plus she and I are basically best friends now...

Indeed I have been. I would agree that the focus of both monogamy and polyamory have shifted towards a more love-based relationship rather than the traditional situation where there was often virtually no pretense about the property aspect of one or both of the people involved. However, I...

It was not my intention to do either one.

Point taken. In retrospect I think she could have been a little clearer on the difference between rules as preferred boundaries and rules as commandments. Again, point taken but I think it goes more towards the nuances of language and the influence they have on our thought processes. Along...

Welcome to the 'hood. That's a pretty tall order. They both sound like they have problems with maturity within a relationship and given that, the likelihood of a positive outcome for all in the immediacy is low. If they manage to patch things together, unless they make some very serious...
