    - I agree with kilbo. As popular as that guy still is, you have to think he was offered a Hero spot. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 15, 09:27
- I LOVE that idea as well. Bring back Skupin, Russell Swan, Andrew Savage and others who either got med-evac'd or screwed. - Jim Sep 15, 09:21 1
  - But, I really don't think that's what's happening. Sounding more and more like (spec spoils, I guess) - Jim Sep 15, 09:22

- I wish there was an "edit post" feature. (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 09:03 6
  - Is it a fact or a factoid! I demand answers! -- nm - oblique Sep 15, 09:03 5
    - It was presented to me as fact, but I haven't fact checked, so I called it a factoid. :) (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 09:06
    - a factoid is an unverified or unreliable piece of knowledge. - Reagen Sep 15, 09:06 3
      - oh yeah? how big is the intersection of factoids to musubi's posts if you were to make a Venn diagram of them? -- nm - crash davis Sep 15, 09:15 2

Dating a Muslim is different. In 1 year, his parents know nothing, they do sleep together but he doesn't ever want to marry her (or her lack of belief - Hotkiss Sep 15, 08:59 24
- honestly, it sounds as if it's not just about the parents. *He* is not ok with it himself. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 09:00 23
  - he wants his future little girls to stay in the house, no alcohol around, religious, etc. She will not stand for that. Yet they love each other now. -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 15, 09:02 22
    - i'm sure the impossible-ness of it all no doubt escalates the love. - kare Sep 15, 09:06 11
      - she just admitted she loves him more than he loves her. "he stopped himself from falling too hard, and I couldn't control myself." - Hotkiss Sep 15, 09:08 7
        
        Sorry, not everyone approaches relationships with blubbering, squishy romanticism -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 09:16
        
        relationships are messy things. -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 09:11
        
        I don't agree with that. I think if he knew it would never last he could keep himself more emotionally detatched. -- nm - pmb Sep 15, 09:10
        
        mmm, i kind of disagree. there are varying levels of love. sometimes, believe it or not, you have some say over your feelings. ;) -- nm - kare Sep 15, 09:09 2
        
        I agree with kare. (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 09:27
        
        hmmm, I don't think I've succeed, but I have learned how to manage them. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 09:10
        
        agreed with your IM. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 09:08
      - been there. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 09:07
      - "It started out like Romeo and Juliet, but ended up in tragedy!" -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 09:06 1
        
        *giggle* (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 09:07
    - So, basically, it was doomed from the start. - musubi Sep 15, 09:05 7
      - of course, if he's so religious, what's he doing screwing around? -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 09:06 6
        
        Same thing she is. (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 09:09 4
        
        doesn't sound like he lied, but he does sound like kind of a hypocrite who is screwing around with the hot foreigner. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 09:09 3
        
        Meh. Irrelevant. She knew what she was getting into. (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 09:22
        
        she obviously hated every moment of it, and was totally duped. -- nm - kare Sep 15, 09:10 1
        
        I didn't say that. He was honest that he doesn't respect her beliefs and that this was a throwaway. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 09:11
        
        don't you get it? he *loves* her. - znufrii Sep 15, 09:07
    - I get that. they just have to get over it. it sucks. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 09:03
    - ~Beauty and the beast~ -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 09:03
maybe i'm just far enough from the situation to be able to say this, but if my family threatened to shun me because they didn't like my SO's religion - kare Sep 15, 08:59 10
- You heretic slut -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 09:05 1
  - well yeah. -- nm - kare Sep 15, 09:11
- I have sort of that situation, and suspect it's harder to do that in real life than one might think. OTOH, both my sibs married nonCatholics. - loosilu at work Sep 15, 09:02 7
  - i'm so thankful my parents have let me live my own life and make my own decisions. -- nm - kare Sep 15, 09:04 6
    - you are very fortunate. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 09:05 4
      - i think they probably also knew that if they ever tried to go there, it would end badly ;) -- nm - kare Sep 15, 09:08 3
        
        honestly, my folks would have had a much much harder time with cohabitation than marrying out of the religion. - loosilu at work Sep 15, 09:12 2
        
        yeah, i'm pretty sure my folks haven't loved it when i've done that, but they respect that i'm an adult and can make my own decisions - kare Sep 15, 09:16 1
        
        the second part is there, sorta. But my mom in particular is convinced that people go to hell for that, and nothing can change her mind. - loosilu at work Sep 15, 09:21
    - Word. - znufrii Sep 15, 09:05
"25% off all HALO Sleep Sacks" ... sadly, they are all in pastel, none of them are in a Camo/Master Chief pattern. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 08:58 2

  - do you have Reach yet? because I so want to betray you - crash davis Sep 15, 09:02
