The Simple Truths Silver Mine

Better late than never:

Do not wait 19 days for some bitch to call you back to talk about something this important. Trust me, I've been burnt here before. She's trying to buy time for you to lose interest or for her to get the guts to end it. Some bitch pulled the same move on me when I went to college last year. I was a fool, bought it for a month, and wasted six weeks of college still thinking I was in a relationship that had obviously already ended. You're better off giving her a week tops and calling her and giving her the opportunity to talk to you. If she says she can't talk, end it. If you're "meant to be", she'll be in touch. You really have to know when to move on. You've been in this relationship for a month and  a half; don't waste more time in it if it's not working.

Guys, it's the Atlas. We're all either pretentious or functionally retarded.

My dad is a physician who constantly berates his patients about the health decisions they make, all the while being someone who never exercises and is considerably overweight. People can compartmentalize their knowledge and let their emotions interfere when it comes to applying it to their personal circumstances.

On top of what everyone else has been saying... beer!  The proliferation of small breweries has led the quality of beer in general to go up in many countries.  Talking about a "good American beer" is no longer an oxymoron.

This is true for food as well. Even a medium sized city like Memphis will now how countless good restaurants with food from all over the world.

Man, I'm just not buying it.  I may be an old boring married guy but I wasn't always this way.  I've been laid in a number of "Western Countries."  I do not remember any conversations involving either of us asking the other for permission each step of the way.  This seems really bizarre.  Is this the kind of conversation that young people have these days during foreplay?  Seriously?  I'm having trouble believing any of this.  It's a little embarrassing to have to paint a picture for you, but I sometimes think we may just have to do it.  Go back to the basics.  You people really ought to get offline once in a while and experience the world.  This sort of thinking isn't healthy.

This post wins the Silver Mine. Both for its simplicity and it's truthfulness

I don't think the forum views me that way

They do.

This is the kind of thing the nation SHOULD get pissed about...not some thug that gets shot fighting a cop.

Having an autistic brother and having met several people who are actually autistic, the answer is a clear no. 95% of people on this forum who are described as or describe themselves as autistic are not autistic.

Negative, though Islam is far, far, far worse. I will never understand how seemingly secular and progressive people will go out of their way to coddle and defend Islam.

I'm a fairly hardcore gamer and I don't give two sh**ts about this drama.  I'd imagine most self described hardcore gamers are the same.

It is a pretty ironic instance of history though, given that the Act was drawn up by what would've been the moderate hero Democrats of that era to "defuse" the slavery debate.  Really, it is a good example of how in some situations being the most moderate person possible can backfire dramatically.

Go fuck yourself.

the voters are clearly too stupid to know where either party stands on anything.

beef with caesar salad just seems really gross to me.

Just do keep in mind that is a very right-leaning forum. And do yourself a favor and go ahead and delete any posts you might have ever made on any separate forums devoted to prostitution enthusiasts.

Good point, lest you be cast to the wolves.  I'd go further and say that you would do well to not even hint at the idea that you find a woman attractive, or that you would ever be interested in courting one, you domineering, misogynist swine.

Man makes up a religion. As part of that he gets to legitimise being a sexual predator by gifting himself a harem.

And you want other people banned?  Oh my...

Bushie doesn't seem to get that the rest of the world isn't like his coddling, enabler household and religious clique: people being nice to you at first is no indicator that they're going to subsidize your inability to function.

OK but Ted Cruz's position is the same as every other Republican candidate. Yet another example of people supporting the Democratic agenda but voting Republican.

What are they counting as a small business? I don't understand why ACA would make things harder for small business (if this is accurate) when the employer mandate doesn't even apply to businesses below 50 employees. Before, small businesses either had to offer expensive health insurance plans to employees, or compete at a disadvantage on the job market compared to large companies offering full benefits. Now, at least employees who don't receive health insurance at work can receive subsidies to buy on the individual market if they make below a certain amount.

Popularity does not equal soundness.

It's unfortunate that virtually every Republican politician in the country won't be held accountable for brazenly and outrageously lying out their asses about Obamacare.

I would also like to commend young Sanchez for writing "teenaged male" instead of "male teenager." I think it sounds a lot better.

I disagree. Male and female should not be used as nouns to describe people.
