Actually, yes, you would be discriminating.

Discriminate: to make a difference in treatment or favor on a basis other than
              individual merit.
Webster's definition, not mine.

Darryl has admitted that his service is discriminatory; therefore, your 
argument that it is not is invalid.  Unless Darryl wishes to judge people
on individual merit (not saying he has to, just saying I wish he would),
then his service (as he admits) discriminates.

What bothers me is that this discrimination violates laws in both Canada
and the US (and probably other countries).  Darryl doesn't even have the
decency in his service's FAQ to give the proper title to those who are
married, common-law or in a relationship that his service discriminates
against.  He calls them all "marrieds."  This sounds like a derogatory
name one would use when discriminating against minority groups.

Mike, I don't care whether or not Darryl runs his service, but I wish he
would show those he is discriminating against at least some form of 
respect... that would be a more decent thing to do.  And don't you go
trying to tell everyone that his service is not discriminatory, when
by definition and admittance (by Darryl) it is.

Actually, it was me you called a mean-spirited, petty-minded bigot.  You
called Doug a close-minded bigot.  It's obvious that there's different
points of view (by Webster's definitions that makes us all bigots) but
*I* think that Doug and others should be able to voice their opinions
about Darryl's service without being accused of being a bigot.  I'm sure
that Darryl's more than capable of defending the occassional flack that
he gets about his service.  Plus, the flack let's others know the pros
and cons of the service.

Just my opinions,

Hello,

I am a 24 year old SWM.  I am 5'8" tall, weigh 170 lbs., and have an
athletic physique.  I have hazel eyes and brown hair.  

At the present most of my time in spent studying and researching in 
graduate school.  I am on my way to getting my PhD in engineering and
and after that I plan on getting a job in the aerospace industry (if
there is anything left of it by the time I get out).

Some of my favorite interests include:  exercising; reading novels;
watching and participating in sports; astronomy; learning about
history, archeology, and nature; talking about politics and
philosophy; and driving cars and flying planes.

I describe myself as intelligent, inquisitive, honest, fair, creative,
self-confident, rational, tough, quiet, intense, principled, and
loyal.

Personally, I don't make decisions based upon _who_ said something, but 
rather upon _what_ that person said and whether or not it makes sense.  
I also do not decide to do something (or not do something) based upon 
whether it is socially or politically acceptable, but whether or not I 
decide that it is acceptable.  In short, I don't do something because
others do it, but because it is the correct thing to do.

I'm looking for women who share many of my beliefs and who can use many 
of the same words which describe me to describe themselves.  I like 
women who are confident enough to be assertive in standing up for their 
rights, while at the same time not afraid to express their femininity 
for fear of being seen as "weak".  

I would love to exchange email, thoughts, opinions, dreams, etc., with
anyone who may be interested.  However, I am most interested in
talking to those people who "fit the bill" above and
who take reasonably good care of themselves.  By good care I mean
someone who does not smoke or drink to excess (at least very often :)
and who tries to keep physically fit.

thanks, I hope to hear from you soon

I am a single, Asian female, living in Oregon, looking for a considerate
gentleman for a friendship.

I am in the early thirties, petite and have cute looks. I am honest, patient,
affectionate, logical and unique. I tend to be dependent, but am articulate
about my values and preferences. 

I am now an undergraduate student majoring in computer science, but I don't
know much about computers, to be honest :) My interests are fine arts
(from Renaissance to contemporary) and music (rock, jazz and classical music)
and I am not an outdoor type. (Well, I like walking, if it's not raining!)

I would like to meet an older male, who is considerate, caring, emotionally
secure, confident in communicating with people, knows when to and not to
follow social folkways and has a sense of humor.

      Dear NetWorld:

     I am a 27 year old computer animator/programmer seeking correspondence
(email or envelope & stamp mail) with single women (21-31) interested in talking
about any/all of the following:

     -- Animation (computer/hand-drawn/experimental) as a means of
        personal expression
     -- Film and Video (as a profession and as a fan)
     -- The natural combination of art and technology

     I live in the middle of Iowa.  I have brown hair and hazel eyes and
glasses and average looks (not *quite* a geek) and weigh 170 lbs.  I have
(and appreciate) a well-developed sense of humor, but I take a lot of
things very seriously.  I am a drug-free ex-smoker with no major health
problems.
      I have a B.S. in computer engineering (minors in telecommunicative
arts & design studies) and a M.A. in art (intermedia, specializing in
computer animtion/ experimental television).
      I like to think that I'm well-informed, but mostly in a current-
affairs/popular culture sense.  Politically, I'm right smack in the middle,
too frustrated by the failings of both party platforms to make a decision.

     I have a wide variety of interests.  Below are a *random* sample:

     -- The Beatles / Bob Dylan / The Replacements / Suzanne Vega / Tori Amos
     -- Twin Peaks (haven't seen the movie yet)
     -- Larry King Live
     -- MST3K
     -- Old movies on AMC
     -- Ernie Kovacs
     -- Brazil (the movie, not the locale)
     -- Manhattan (the locale, *and* the movie)
     -- The Big Chill
     -- the Back to the Future movies (and time travel in general)
     -- Mark Twain / Charles Dickens / John Irving
     -- Writing (I've kept a journal for the last 8 years)
     -- Talking about the unanswerable until 4:00 AM

     I'm also pretty biased *against* a lot of things:

     -- ignorance/stupidity
     -- televised sports
     -- religious fanaticism
     -- insincerity

     I'm sort of in a well-worn social groove right now and am *desperately*
in need of some outside intellectual stimulation.  If I sound like the kind
of person you're interested in having an exchange with, *please* write.
The naked honesty rap has never been a strength.

     I recognize this as a message-in-a-bottle kinda thing.

     I think that's pretty cool.

(Posted for a friend.  Pls reply to this AP address.  I'll forward.)

Hi!

I'm moving to Colorado, and I'd like some company!

I want out of the SF bay area.  Oh sure, it's been really fun and I've
met some wonderful people who I'll miss.  And there are some awesome
places that are very unique.  But it's time for me to move on.

For the past 5 years, I've been in a technical career.  I've more or
less enjoyed it, but it isn't really what I want to do.  What I really
want to do is be a nurse.  And to that end, I've been applying to
various schools in Colorado to continue my education in this area.

And I'd like you to come with me.  Or, if you are already in CO, I'd
like to meet you.  Write me for more details about my choice and my
plans!

Now, I'm not looking for an instant wife, nor am I looking for a
'tagger alonger.'  But I *am* looking for a travel companion that has
the *potential* to turn into "more."  Let's exchange notes about our
lifes and goals.  Perhaps we'll decide to meet one another.

I can hear some of you saying "Hey, why should I follow YOU, a MALE?"
And I'll answer:  "You shouldn't 'follow' anyone."  But, if you are sick
of the congestion and attitudes of the bay area, if you want to use
your nest egg that would make nary a dent in a bay area down payment, if
you want to be closer to skiing and have a ski buddy, if it just time
for you to move on and try a different place, and you want to pick up
your boots and move on over to Boulder or Denver or CO Springs with
someone, well that drop me a line!!!  Let's talk.

If, by a log shot, I meet someone who wants to take the plunge, and our
friendship doesn't turn into "more" at some point, at least we can be
buddies who can hang out while we meet new CO friends!

Me--
I'm a 27 year old SWM.  I am 5' 8" and weigh 170, have hazel/green eyes,
and short brown hair.  I have an awesome smile, a great attitude, a good
job, money in the bank, and good fingernails, and a hairy chest.  I lean
left on social issues, and toward the center on economic ones.

I enjoy mountain biking, jogging, old films, weights, cooking, children,
reading, live theater, and skiing.  I like the rain.  [ That's water
that falls from the sky, in case you've forgotten :-) ]

You--
You have self confidence, a huge intellect and sharp wit, a sense of
humor, and mental and physical agility and strength.  You are probably
22 to 35.  But I am not a real stickler on this point.  Maturity,
experience, and clarity matter more than age.

Please write me care of this AP address!  I'll write back to all.

- g

Hi,

I am at Purdue and have some friends at IU, whom I unfortunately forgot to  
ask their (street) addresses. Could somebody there look them up for me?

Much appreciated,
Craig
