<p>The only Democrat who was willing to go "eight syllables" furhter than just saying he was anti-war, and what do we do? we vote for the guy who has zero experience and zero plans for Iraq.</p>
<p>bend seems to be avoiding the whole loving me deal. I'm sad again.</p>

well needadvice...while that is your opinion, why try to spoil the dream for others?

Because to be prepared for failure is better than when the world crashes around you while you naively stand there looking at rainbows.</p>
<p>This is a long-winded way of saying, because the fall will hurt less.</p>

<p>And what makes you assume taht people on this forum who disagree with you have not been/are not in long term relationship

</p>
<p>Nobody has said anything yet.</p>
<p>Personally, I think cheating is tied to integrity... when the world is all safe and many things can be taken for granted, people are usually more likely to cheat and think nothing of it, until their life sort of falls to shambles (can be caused by marriage gone wrong, loss of job, even cheating, etc.), then the cheating attitude comes back to bite them in the arse, and they feel untrustworthy and disloyal... which in turn makes their partner not able to trust them, and count on them... if this stuff occurs after a long engaging relationship that uses up a lot of somebody's life, it can be EXTREMELY devastating... so all in all, I think cheating (betraying a lover) is very disgraceful and shows a huge lack of personal integrity. If a couple is open and honest about their relationship and desire to allow multiple sexual partners into the relationship, then it's a different thing, but cheating with no intentions to be open about it, is morally and emotionally damaging to all parties involved (except for maybe the person used for the cheat in some scenarios).</p>
<p>lol, I'm like a cockroach. you cant kill me...usually</p>
<p>Umm don't you guys get it? This thread is no longer about cheating.</p>
<p>311...Easier said than done. I never thought I would be in a position like this, and it was easy for me to saying something similar to that effect in high school, but yeah, getting older=epiphanies of all sorts.</p>
<p>yes this thread is about arguing between bendrumfront and the rest of us</p>
<p>Do you guys have a weird internet crush on each other? haha, kids</p>
<p>Ok so...your parents cheated, mine didn't. Big deal, I don't really care. Apparently it's made you bitter about the whole subject and anyone who isn't as bitter as you is automatically a naive idealistic fool who thinks the world is full of peace and love and happiness and soulmates, right? Good to know, I try to avoid arguments where one side insists on being completely illogical.</p>
<p>I will say, however, that I happen to like this quote: "I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a door mat or a prostitute." - Rebecca West</p>
<p>Um excuse me? You started it with that long list that actually just blew up in your face.</p>
<p>I think in the end, Bendrum is just fighting her interweb love for me. She's already called me a "jerk" which is just another word for "amazing guy."</p>
<p>"Are you sure you live in America? Because, with the divorce rates, that's practically unheard of."</p>
<p>I can only think of two of my friends whose parents are not still together. The divorce rate may be around 50%, but that doesn't mean that the other half doesn't count.</p>
<p>::edit::</p>
<p>...and if you set yourself up for failure, guess what you're going to get?</p>
<p>Crush no. I'm just trying to extract personal info on bend so i can stalk her like a typical, sick, man. And Hoke, he seems to be needin some lovin'</p>

<p>Uh, it doesn't take a person with divorced parents to realize that the world is not full of peace, happiness, and soulmates. This isn't Disneyland.</p>
<p>Hoke- uhhhhh right...</p>

</p>
<p>Yeah, but then the cheating rate applies to that half as well.</p>
<p>I'd like to know the complete statistics. Adults who are not divorced and have never cheated, either emotionally or physically.</p>
<p>I DO need some loving. I keep having dreams about this lesbian/bisexual chick from my high school and I cant get her out of my head. I was never attracted to her but gosh, she was hot.</p>
<p>Ah, sexism... what a concept.... it's all about categorizing actions/reactions of the opposite sex into simple, unchecked generalities. If only the situational context could derive more value in these sorts of conversations, then maybe sexism and gender bias could have less impact on people's lives.</p>
<p>Oh joy. Joining CC was probably the best decision of my life...</p>
