Im just wondering whether the online world can possibly eliminate pre-judgements of class? If it could I think this could be a wonderful advantage of online dating as you get to know people for who they really are.

If you'll reread the OP I believe I stipulated the biblical jesus. One could ask how do you know jesus existed at all, as there is only one descent source outside of the bible that even indicates jesus actually lived, and it says nothing as to his life, actions or character. As such, if one assumes jesus lived the only place to tease out anything about him is the slanted gospels. And the gospels record nothing as to jesus being annointed, or fullfilling any of the other messianic requirments. If the gospel writers who believed jesus was the messiah couldn't be bothered to include information necessary to conclude jesus was the messiah why would assume there was any?

Christians and other religions played leading roles in these conflicts yes, but the point you've missed is that if jesus was the messiah these events never would have occured, as the messiah was to bring an end to violent conficts such as these. Have you ever read the messianic prophicies?

Knowing how to be a good person, a good steward to this earth, and to pass good on through your own kids is valuable... Something the world could stand more of...
True, but this is relevant to the OP how?

There were a a few things that Jesus was to accomplish, that is teaching of forgiveness, and to look towards God as the source of becoming one... Jesus was a teacher and a healer...

Hey I think the hubby did right he could have been mean and kicked her and the kid out.

For those in BAD relationships - say if you knew that you would find another partner quickly, wouldn't most of you leave your partner much sooner, rather than later? My point is that I still believe that, for the most part, people stay in bad relationships because they don't want to be alone, and they have a huge fear that they may not find someone else for a very long time, if ever. It's much more difficult (though not impossible) to find a 'suitable' partner once people reach middle age and beyond (compared to the younger years)

I just wish there was a special device that will go off in our ears when we are acting so needy and door-matty.

It does not matter whether it is a good reason, or not. That is the way it is. In marriage, your first loyalty is to your husband...not a grown child. You were as unfaithful-in a way-as if you had slept around. You chose to give your love, and loyalty, to someone other than your husband. You messed up. Enjoy living with your son from now on...because you will be

Please posters, if you can, try to help the OP out and not be silly.

Girls typically find guys even more attractive when they first rebuff their advances/hints.

And to the OP, There is a LOT of mis information out there about STD's. And some of the Professionals do not know the whole truth. And we've just heard from one who advocates ignoring the risks of that.

NOWHERE did I ever say.. don't have adult consensual sex. Nowhere did I say that a thourough waiting period, and blood test should follow a thorough questionaire of a prospective dating partner.
Thyme, All things in safety, and in moderation. But your post isn't.

He asked me how my last relationship ended so I told him.. should I have lied or been vague about it? I felt like he deserved better than that...

Nextthyme, it is difficult to explain to those whom have not experienced it the joy that providing for a family or raising a child can bring. Additionally, these are rights of passage; why as you say not many single men will be considered for positions where they are charged with the responsibility to speak for or be responsible for a majority of persons.

it scares me that so many have absolutely no concern what so ever about innocent people going about their lives and being killed by predators,which by the way is what most lynchings were.

" If a person is broken up with you, they have nobody to answer to then themselves."

I disagree.

There's a lot of STD's out there, and everyone should be up front and honest about who they have had sexual activity with, in this case, and in many others.

My old lonely bus driver from HS who hits on all the teenage girls

he cant understand why im not wearing my ring anymore, that is one of the main reasons why i refuse to wear it now. i told him it doesnt mean shit until theres changes yet he says this relationship isnt one sided, who the **** is always screaming at the top of my lungs about why arent u here at xyz time? he cant give me a real answer as to why he cant be on time. he told me one time if u worked long hours u would be tired too i said yea i would be tired but i wouldnt be a lil **** about it and not show up to somewhere i know i need to meet someone - thats the difference between u and me. i even threaten if he doesnt get his shit together that i wont be coming to his religious service at all and he better tell them the truth. im always angry yet his dumbass cant understands why.
