America... what the fuck have you done. Just got up, but now I'm feeling like going back to bed and never getting up again. Gutted. Horrified.

I am completely open about both being poly and about being asexual. On my OKC profile page, I stated both very clearly.

Yup, this. The gal I was with for six years until start of last year *points at signature* definitely falls into the "polyflexible" group, too (AFAIK, she's quite happily mono with her new ladyfriend). That sure doesn't make her any better or worse than me, and certainly no less "pure". :)

Reacting to graphs showing that if only women were voting, Hillary would win in a landslide... ...Trumpistas have now started the Twitter hashtag #RepealThe19th. So, voting rights just for people equipped with a penis would be what makes America great again, huh? Unbelievable. This is...

I think that for my own case, the most succinct way of putting it is that I'll never be happy in a closed relationship, and wouldn't be okay with putting up with that even for a day. Polyfidelity is totally not for me (I pretty much see that as "monogamy, just with more people involved"); being...

No, never. The idea of monogamy sounds horribly constricting and controlling to me - it's definitely not the way I'd want to live, nor something I'd want to inflict on someone else, especially not someone I claim to love. I'd rather be alone forever than to go mono even for a day. It's as much...

Likewise with the Arizona Republic and the Cincinnati Enquirer. (Yeah, it's a big enough thing to happen that even we Europeans notice it. ;)) You can also count USA Today, who never endorsed any presidential candidate before, but now for the first time ever gives a clear (anti-)endorsement...

Yeah. I find it baffling to hear that any sexual guy would (consistently) prefer rubbing one off to porn over actually doing the deed with a partner, because the only folks I've heard that from until now all were asexuals. While for me, personally, using a "visual masturbation aid" is...

Of my two exes, one is gone and good riddance... haven't heard from her in, like, nine years by now - and seeing as she turned out to be a pathological liar who "catfished" me from day one, I prefer it to stay that way, TYVM. The other one, R. (the one the breakup in my signature refers to)...

Asexual. (And repulsed by most forms of sex, therefore virginal for life.) To me, poly is no more of a choice than being straight or gay is. Poly is what I am, not what I do - a (relationship) orientation, not a lifestyle. I do think, though, that being poly makes it considerably easier to be...

Unfortunately. (Sorry, couldn't help the snark. You know I loathe that institution. :p )

Oh, for god's sake (heh, see what I did there? ;)). I generally end up one of the most "theistic" people among my peer group wherever I end up, even though I scoff at organized/dogmatized religion, and don't identify with any other label club than the theoretical "panentheist"... But you bet...

While I'm not really open for partner-level relationships anymore, myself (not just poly, relationships in general; mono/closed styles have always been, and continue to be, right out for me), this just about sums up my feelings on the matter, too.

Sums it up perfectly, yup. Same applies to Angela Merkel in Germany, btw... and explains why she's in her 11th year of chancellory (is that a word?), with no sign of stopping any time soon... like it or not, we may well be stuck with her until she herself decides to step down/choose not to run...

Gah. Edgy "protest voters". I won't even pretend I didn't despise them.... possibly even more so than people who vote for awful people out of honest ideology - those are folks I can at least respect for internal integrity, much as I vehemently disagree with their views! Pretty sure that's a...

And that is the one argument for not going for European-level gun control in the States which I do understand. Europe is much, much more urbanized than North America, just about all throughout the continent... and what few wildlife there is left here tends to have both legal protection/preserve...

Wait, I thought in the US flamethrowers were an odd case of "there's no law against it"? Or did Cracked.com lie to me??? :D Anyway... I really prefer the strict weapon laws this side of the Big Pond. Even to own a sport pistol or hunting rifle, you need to apply for a government license and...

Not having a physical body. Floating around as some kind of StarTrek-y "energy life form", communicating by telepathy. Also, being able to perceive reality objectively, without any kind of sensory, mental, or psychological bias. (So, in short... I obviously don't like to be a human being, and...

For some bad news from the other side of the Big Pond... I'm disgusted and horrified by the extrapolated results from three states' elections in Germany this weekend. The far-right populist AfD (anti-EU, anti-Islam, anti-refugee) is rapidly on the rise... it's worst of all in Saxony-Anhalt...

While I do think Hillary is kinda "meh"... if it should boil down to her vs. Trump, please, for the love of puppies and Christmas, do get out of bed and vote for her. It would be "will probably not make the US a noticably better place" vs. "is all but guaranteed to try and turn the US into a...
