  - minus the make-up I have to pay for both these lists, so unfair. -- nm - Stacy May 6, 16:33
  - which of your items are optional and which of mine are? huh?!! - kare May 6, 16:33 5
    - All of it? heh :) -- nm - Stephen May 6, 16:38 3
      - tell that to Ashlee the next time she has a period! - kare May 6, 16:39 2
        
        Why should we worry about that? - the liioulu with umbrella May 6, 16:42

        you could always make him buy condoms and use them, besides they are safer than pills. -- nm - Stacy May 6, 16:40 6
        
        not when "safe" means "trying not to get preggers" -- nm - kare May 6, 16:40 5
        
        comdoms are effective for that *if* used correctly. Pills dont prevent STDs. -- nm - Stacy May 6, 16:42 4
        
        It's a matter of both together being more effective. -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 6, 16:43 1
        
        good point -- nm - Stacy May 6, 16:46
        
        i'm not worried about STDs, and condoms have a higher failure rate than pills -- nm - kare May 6, 16:43 1
        
        that's becuase alot of people don't know how to use them properly. -- nm - Stacy May 6, 16:47
        
        Saying "put a rubber on!" costs nothing! -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 6, 16:39 1

      - without health insurance my pills would be about 1000 a month, and yes they are required to keep me sane. -- nm - Stacy May 6, 16:37
      - Make-up, yes. Pills, depends on the job. ;) - the liioulu with umbrella May 6, 16:37
      - Only if she wants to be promoted. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 6, 16:37

    - I have to supress the urge to retch every time I boot it. -- nm - mara May 6, 16:43
- Twitterrific on the iPod. -- nm - psilotum May 6, 16:14
- I don't have time for Twitter, following facebook with over 600 friends to keep up with is hard enough. -- nm - Stacy May 6, 16:13
- Hardcore Twitter fans seem to love TweetDeck. Frankly, using TweetDeck - to me - suggests you're following too many people. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 6, 16:10
- Twitterfox -- nm - marcel May 6, 16:07
- Yelling random things to people. -- nm - Reagen May 6, 16:07
- Twitbin I think. It's a sidebar thing in Firefox. -- nm - JaxSean May 6, 16:06
- I don't. -- nm - lileve May 6, 16:06

Policies that have been existance for years that I just noticed are terrible! -- nm - Reagen May 6, 15:59 2

- Okay, where's the list? -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 6, 16:04
sitwap - Winchester comes out of the closet. -- (link) - Diva May 6, 15:56 19
- More and more polictians need to come out of the closet. Especially on the conservative side. Marriage is a human right. -- nm - lileve May 6, 16:07 3
  - "It's a human right?" It's more of a societal custom, that's all. -- nm - JaxSean May 6, 16:40 1
    - With all the legal protection it brings its a human right. -- nm - lileve May 6, 20:09
  - bravo! Well said. -- nm - Stacy May 6, 16:10
- Once all 50 states approve gay marriage, we'll all have to switch teams if we want to get married. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 6, 16:01 5
  - my roommate's friend is against gay marriage because, get this, she gets no tax benefits as a single person. gay marriage is unfair to the singles. -- nm - Stacy May 6, 16:03 4
    - At least she's got a reasoned excuse, even if it falls into the "If I don't benefit, no one can do it!" ballpark. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 6, 16:04
    - For this reason she is also against straight marriage. -- nm - Stacy May 6, 16:04 2
      - You should educate her that she should be against tax benefits for married couples - regardless of sexuality. -- nm - JaxSean May 6, 16:06 1
        
        oh she is we discussed that too. If something doesn't benefit her she is pretty much against it. She is so different than me and selfish, so glad - Stacy May 6, 16:09

  - While I see this being the future-future, there's just no infrastructure to support it yet. -- nm - celedhring May 6, 16:02
  - like Ikariam? -- nm - psilotum May 6, 15:58 5
    - Like OnLive. -- (link) - Mop (236 lbs) May 6, 16:02 2
      - I don't own any consoles, and haven't tried OnLive, but I can't believe they will be comparable. - psilotum May 6, 16:04 1
        
        Consoles generally have no lag. Ditto for PC games. OnLive is still vaporware. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 6, 16:10
    - Like, you play Halo online - why not just have a box that you play everything online. No "discs." - JaxSean May 6, 16:00 1
      - I use to play Super Nintendo live with a thing called XBand, no discs all cartridges and still there was alot of lag. -- nm - Stacy May 6, 16:24

- From Reality: PC World Analyst is a moron -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 15:50 3
