Seth,

It is a Free Country.

But to be intellectually honest you would also
need to expand your definitional structure to 
any organization that extends to presumption
that their system provides both closure and
completeness.

And you will note that the above propositional structure
does NOT require that the group maintain a 'religious' basis.

I return you now to the more pressing problem of how
individuals resolve the Philosophical Complications of
Godel's Incompleteness Theorum, by providing a 
synthetic basis of establishing Closure and Completeness
to their Personal System.

When people are willing to address that level of the
epistemological problem, then I will see that we are
dealing with honesty at the core personal level, and
not merely playing the game of "My Personal Pet Bigotries
are Better than Yours and You should follow Mine...."

Which, in the main is what james was doing in this matter.

ciao

And why shouldn't people be able to post anonymously? People don't put their
names on personal adverts in the newspaper. By using anonymous posting, people
can post information that they don't want immediately associated with their 
name. If they want to reveal their identity to those they contact via email,
that is their own business.

The anonymous postings I have seen are not less interesting or informative
than those with names credited.

I am not the person running the anonymous posting service. This posting
explains my views which are quite possibly different from his/hers.

Anonymously.

Now there's a pickup line I could die for.  :-)

Well OK, I'll get into this.  I met my twookums right here at work.  I'm
a senior writer, see, and I was assigned to do a catalog of some new
products that were designed here at Bell Labs, and the catalog had to
include photographs so I called the photography department and talked
to this really-nice-sounding guy and he gave me all this information about
how photo documentation is done, and we made an appointment.

It's weird and nobody would believe it but the morning of the photo session
I had this kinds *feeling* that something was gonna happen that day that
would change my life.

Well to long story a short make, he asked me to lunch that day and we got
a hot dog and then the next day he asked me again and the next day and the
next day and to tell you the truth, he was nice but I wasn't that interested
so I kept making excuses and then we discovered that we had just both gotten
over bad relationships and had lots in common and then discovered we had
**LOTS** in common and well if he hadn't persisted like he did (he did
everything I advise people against doing, but you gotta realize that me falling
in love with him was a miracle and those don't happen all the time) things
would never have happened like they did and I'm just glad that he DID 
persist because yes indeed, the day of that first photo session changed my
life forever.

We met on May 12, 1989 and on each May 12 since we've been fighting (not
big fights but those stupid little "fighties") so we've never celebrated
but this year we won't be fighting and we will celebrate.

(I love you Michael.)

It works better to go to any parties that you're invited to and try to meet
one or two new people. (People who are hellbent on talking to everyone at a
party annoy me; as soon as you get a decent conversation going, they excuse
themselves because there are 25 people still on their list to talk to.)

I can't leave the criteria out, that's what the whole argument is about. I
understand you're uncomfortable, because the particular criteria in question
happens to be something personal and deep for you, your religion. 
OK, then, lets move it in a different direction- 'Intelligence' then. (And
I'm bringing Mr. Wright into this only because I still feel that these two
situations are very similar). If I said:
"Des Moins has a population probably close to 300,000 people. I find it 
>really< hard to believe that one can't find a well-educated, intelligent
man in a city of 300,000 people."
Would that be better? (And that sounds 'patronizing', but it isn't, I'm
sure you understand the tone in which its presented :)

I don't believe this either- I've got a good friend in SF, who is Jewish,
who has no trouble meeting Jewish friends of her age group+ (she is high
school senior/college freshman age).
Dunno- I still think that one can always find what one is looking for, given
that one is willing to look hard enough.

I have read in a few places that males with wives or
girlfriends have higher levels of the brain chemical
serotonin. ( i probably have the spelling wrong )

anyway, it seems to generally improve your social standing
among females.

Is this hope for Nice Guys everywhere?

Anybody had this kind of therapy?

       Well here's an update on my situatio concerning my relationship
   with a 19 yearold "girl". I decided to just break it off.(actually
   her mom's choice) Her mom said if I ever tried to get any
   contact with Angela ever again she would make Angela sign a
   restraiing order against me. So naturally (she may be worht a
   fight like that, but I am not up to it) I am moving on. We
   had something good, just too bad she couldn't mature. I am so
   much wiser from this situation, the funny thing is that I still
   love her, but alas it will never be.

Frankly, you are selling out on yourself, and Angela.  I would coach
her that it's about time she stood up for what _she_ wants, rather
than for what her mother wants. It's time for her to stop being
mommy's little girl.  There is no way that her mother can legally
force her to sign a restraining order, and I don't believe that any
court would be willing to grant one.  It sounds like the threat of a
woman who is afraid of losing something which she views (errantly) as
an extension of herself.  The mother does not own the daughter.  Both 
need to have a life of their own.

Remember, one of the major purposes of college is to learn about who
you want to be in the world.  If Angela wants to be with you, then
she ought to stand up for it.  That's part of being an adult.

  That may be a bit over exagerating it, but that is the way
I feel. I hope some of you netters might be able to give me a
bit of insight into the problem I haveso here goes.
  I am dating this woman who I met here at college. She is 19
years old and we have been going out for 4 months now. The
biggest problem that this relationship has seen is her mother.
Her mother started off for the first month liking me, but then
it started going all down hill and it has been really ruogh over
break. Her mom instigated an argument between my girlfriend and
I on New Years eve and we broke up only to get back together 3 days
later. Her mom treats my girlfriend like a little child(she is
sophomore in college). Angela came back to me despite her
mother's objections but now her mom has threaten my life if I
come near her house(her mom professes to be a christian). I
also cannot call Angela up on the phone, just letters until
she gets back to the dorm in another 10 days.
  I am just curious as to why her mom hates me??? The nearest
I can surmise is that her mom sees that she is losing angela
because Angela is growing up. Her mother claims that I am
bent on destroying her family since I have no family of my
own. Oh by the way I am 20 if that is any use to you netpeople.
  So any additional questions or does anyone have a suggestion
for dealing with this rift. I am madly in love with Angela and
she is in love with me. Any helpful hints would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg
