    So, there's a lot of joking about this from time to time, but I just want to say that I believe we can now say with confidence that _J_ is a robot.

    I've given up on that thread. We're (J and I) clearly talking past each other.

    Pretty much the basic premise of the discussion is just implausible. I think AMFE and I both spelled it out on page one that you just can't remove emotions from the decision. And if that is the case then its time to start dealing with how you feel about the situation and balance that with whatever spreadsheets you think are relevant.

    I do like hearing other folks reasons for why or why not they wanted to have them. Its definitely food for thought in my own internal debate.

    You should have them.


    ;)
    Misery loves company?

    It's just...

    This isn't the time for some crazypants philosophy students drunk in the attic "let's remove the emotive response" sillyness.

    You literally cannot remove emotions from the decision to squeeze out a crotch dropping, and @_J_ "I will want them in five years" isn't a "in five years my emotions will be prepared for this thing" it is a "in five years I expect to be in a position on my lifestream which will make having children an option."

    It is that simple.

    so I just looked up the trillion dollar coin thing

    it was proposed in the comments section of a blog post

    obama did not propose it although I guess his press secretary did react to a question about it

    what the shit even is this

    Obama actually posted that comment. He's big into leaving youtube comments too.

    the best part is because she is a biologist she has no STD's

    because no one has ever used their own body as a canvas for their chosen field

    U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Marietta)...

    “And in Missouri, Todd Akin … was asked by a local news source about rape and he said, ‘Look, in a legitimate rape situation’ — and what he meant by legitimate rape was just look, someone can say I was raped: a scared-to-death 15-year-old that becomes impregnated by her boyfriend and then has to tell her parents, that’s pretty tough and might on some occasion say, ‘Hey, I was raped.’ That’s what he meant when he said legitimate rape versus non-legitimate rape. I don’t find anything so horrible about that. But then he went on and said that in a situation of rape, of a legitimate rape, a woman’s body has a way of shutting down so the pregnancy would not occur. He’s partly right on that.”

    Gingrey pointed out that he had been an OB-GYN since 1975.

    “And I’ve delivered lots of babies, and I know about these things. It is true. We tell infertile couples all the time that are having trouble conceiving because of the woman not ovulating, ‘Just relax. Drink a glass of wine. And don’t be so tense and uptight because all that adrenaline can cause you not to ovulate.’ So he was partially right wasn’t he? But the fact that a woman may have already ovulated 12 hours before she is raped, you’re not going to prevent a pregnancy there by a woman’s body shutting anything down because the horse has already left the barn, so to speak. And yet the media took that and tore it apart.”

    ...
    These people aren't very bright.

    What is the huge joke here? Sounds like dude meets girl online, goes to meet her for sex. Pretty sure that happens a lot.

    They started talking on Xmas-eve
    She sent him money for the plane ticket then bought another ticket and told him to keep the cheque she sent him.
    They are not using condom because "things are taken care of"
    They are both pretty much dead set on each other being the one.

    I think the joke in the comic is that he gets there and she has a penis and engages him in intercourse using that previously undiscovered penis without the application of a condom.


    Maybe.

    At least two more years of Harry Reid, he's majority leader in the Senate.

    If the GOP takes the Senate in 2014 (which is quite possible) then a Republican will get the job (but not McConnell, because his ass is getting Tea Party'd).

    now it's far more likely that this guy is in for some severe disappointment with a helping of STDs

    but

    my parents knew each other for less than a month before getting engaged. they've been happily married for 30+ years

    sometimes it works

    I wish him the best. Mostly because he won't be dissuaded from this.

    But also because there's a pretty hot girl in the lab who is nonetheless completely crazy and spends money foolishly.

    It turns out that you don't actually need to be smart to get a medical degree. You just need to have a good memory and be able to study effectively.

    My state has a governor who is a doctor, and also a moron. He says blatantly stupid things every day, with sincerity.
