Coincidences? The assassinations of Kennedy and Ghandi had many many

1) John Kennedy >never met< Abraham Lincoln, and neither did Ghandi!

YUp. just thought I'd mention that my home town was the same thing...
Suburbia that surrounds a big city, all parents are career people.
The parents work, the kids get neglected, develop low self esteem
and must compensate by bullying others. Even if the kids live in a
fancy house, their poorer counterparts receive more love and attention,
and evelop a high sense of self esteem. I would give up a career and
be a househusband in order to see my children grow up to be good adults.

Yes. I think economic factors also come into play. There were previously fewer
divorces because fewer people could afford to split up their households.
But we  can't conclude that a marriage is successful just because it has
not resulted in divorce.

You call that sex? Sex is only sex if it's IKKIYUKKY.
Wet dreams are IKKIYUKKY, but they are not sex.
There is no such thing as homosexual sex but it is IKKIYUKKY.
Condoms are IKKIYUKKY after the mutual masturbation that you call sex.
Without the potential for procreation THERE IS NO SEX as defined.

Some mutually MASTURBATE and think it's good SEX.
BJ's are not sex but fun and IKKIYUKKY.

I know this has been discussed before, but does the "single" in
soc.singles mean NOT MARRIED or NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP?

Is there an assumption that all single people want to be not
single?

Does participation in soc.singles imply that you are looking for
someone to have a relationship with and want to do so by having
them send you email?

Well, it seems to me that these have been discussed before, but I'll answer
them anyway :-).

To me, it means single as in issues pertaining to singles. Some of them
also pertain to not single folk - in fact, there's quite a bit of overlap.
Single folk are those who consider themselves single. To some, that's not
married. To some, that's not in a relationship. To some, that means if they're
looking...

>Is there an assumption that all single people want to be not
>single?

There sure seems to be by some parties in this group. I happen to think it's a
false one.

>Does participation in soc.singles imply that you are looking for
>someone to have a relationship with and want to do so by having
>them send you email?

Again, some folks sure seem to think it does. Others don't. I think it's rather
a wild ass assumption to make....the relationship, that is. When one posts in
public, one is opening one's self up to comments about what one posted. But 
assuming anything more than what the poster posted, including what posting to
such a group means, seems to be more guesswork than anything else.
