Much better.  Adding carriage returns helps a lot--now the biggest
problem is that "In soc.singles" and the final ellipsis are too far
apart.

You obviously are the only person who lost friends or family members in Viet
Nam, so you know more about it than everyone else.  Well you are wrong, and
you are stupid for implying this.  You are also stupid for trying to place
blame on a particular group for the whole war.  You are stupid for saying 
that the only negative protestors were the rich kids, and you are stupid
for saying that rich kids are all spoiled brats and bad people who's parents
made money off of others misery.  If at one time in your life a girl left
you for someone with more money or something like that which has turned you 
against anyone with money than thats your problem.  This is the second really
ignorant attack by people on the net against a particular group.  First it 
was fraternities and now the wealthy.  I guess there is not much to be said
about working hard in life to become financially successful.  I guess you would
say it is a bad thing for someone to work hard so that their family could be
comfortable.  You are stupid for many reasons but primarily for your closed-
mindedness.  I'm sure you fancy yourself a liberal too, which is really sad.
If you are a representative of liberal thinking in this country, I feel sorry
for anyone with a different point of view, because they are obviously bad
people in your thinking, they must be because you must be right.  You have
really showed what intelligence you possess.  Congratulations.

Almost guaranteed--there are some very definite exceptions.  If, for

then (almost instantaneously) all other MOTAS in the area will be
looking for characteristic X.

Just a little update for this thread. A judge overturned
(or severely limited, not sure which) Florida's statutory
rape laws because of another law that allowed girls of
less than the "legal age" to have abortions without parental
notification. I guess the reasoning was, if they're allowed
to get an abortion, then they might as well be allowed to have
sex. I'm not sure what age limits are now considered legal,
but they're most certainly lower than before!

My site is the same way, not that I especially want alt.sex, but some of the

the rise of fascism in former Yugoslavia?

How do you explain the Canadian accident rates when compared with Europe

Last time I checked, hours days and years were all units of time.
Perhaps you have a way to do your studying without time passing?  I
guess that would explain your grades.  (See, I can attack on the basis
of no knowledge too.  Of course, I'm fully prepared for a challenge on
the topic.)

Yes, in your previous posting you seemed to claim to know more about

Youth has even less to do with it.

What makes you think an older engineer would want to have any sort of

of it, and they choose their conversation partners carefully.

Ah!  But the extra-credit question is, "Do you have to be involved with
someone for this to work?"  I think so.  I think there's a magic to a new
relationship that makes you perk up, and that that attracts like flypaper.
It's also gotta be connected to Murphy's Law :-)  Not that I'd advocate
lying, which would be necessary, but someone should run field trials. :-)
