Uh, that's the first thing anyone has to know.... In fact, the first philosopher I've quoted on the Planet was Socrates when he stated "All that I know is that I know nothing." And that quote is true for every person since the beginning of time...once you and everyone else who decided to throw out insults to look good admit that, everyone can raise a glass of vodka/whisky/whatever and I'll give the toast--and you know that I'm making a real toast when the first line is "I don't like this anymore than you do, but raise your glasses anyway."

Oh and congratulations goes out to badgirl, lardass, chiefs4me, BrockLanders, and ROY75 for taking the high road.

The high road i never went anywhere, see, here I am.

I have a 6 year old (who's almost 7) and a 3 year old (who is a month away from turning 4). I'm damn near 40 myself. I got married when I was 27, and was a Father for the first time at 32. All I can tell you is what my experience has been like. I wish I would have waited another 3 years to get married. I still had some playing around to do, and that kind of hurt my marriage early on.

I'm glad we waiting to have children when we did, because may playing days were over, and I was ready (or as mich as one can be) for the responsibility. Point is, everyone is different in what they want and can handle. However, you better be damn sure that you are ready to settle down, especially once you decide to have kids. It's ok to F-up your own life, but you don't want to F-up one of your kids.

I reserve the right to smash my glass into your temple, young Suckrates...

Just remember that it is not wise to go after the person who was the first to raise the same thing that you would be trying to use as a weapon.

Slayer, "relationships" with your fists, any sort of doll, a member of the clergy, or a hole in a tree or other wooden structure do not qualify you as some kind of relationship expert. In fact, I would wager that I've done 3 times the damage that you'll ever do in your life, and I still acknowledge that I don't know Raiders about women. Just :-) and quit trying to look like some playeristic baller, because you sure as hell aren't going to pull any wool wearing that rubber nose and floppy red shoes.

Damn, High Road ? At least it's nice to know which damn road I'm on now since I haven't had a clue for the last year and a half . :-)

First think you should know about marriage, ist that not capitalizing (I) and writing it as an i all the time, is the same as leaving the toilette seat up.

And you just be cognizant of the fact that I've had more stimulating conversations with a scuffed-up piece of Samsonite luggage...

Perhaps, like Oedipus, you should tear out your eyes to avoid temptation?

The reality is that attraction is part of being human. Loving someone, or being in love with someone doesn't rob you of that humanity. You still retain that capacity and ability to find attraction in others but it is the choices you make that will define your love as true or not.

Well, you're mostly on the high road...ya came pretty close to fly'n off the handle at III, but ya held back enough to stay on the high road. Congrats.

Just remember that "Philosopher" doesn't pay as much as it used to. You should probably have a backup plan like "Dishwasher" or "Lawnboy".

Perhaps I'm not human then....

It's possible. We've all seen the pictures.

It's not my major, but that doesn't mean I don't study it...my major is law.
