From my perspective it would be impossible to like anyone more than I like myself, and since I don't believe in objective value, ipso facto I'm the best person in the world and all those mentioned are 'worse'.


There's a word for that perspective of yours, you know. Tongue

Somewhere along the line, I came to the realization that it being all about me is not the road to happiness.

Wait, what?  So the weight loss, fitness regimine, face lift, testy shots, and coming out party was for others?  Hmmmmmm.

Being happy makes you a nicer person Grumps. I was referring to a state of mind, but then you already knew that. You just enjoy watching me bleed, sort of like Dracula or a vampire or something. Tongue

No. Obviously not. Even independently of anything else, well-meaning olds who just aren't that comfortable with the homophiles but who are nevertheless better people than opebo are still a dime a dozen, though less and less so.

In other words, you think I'm improving?  Very kind of you to say so.

I think well-meaning olds who just aren't that comfortable with the homophiles are either becoming more comfortable or dying.

I see, I understand you better now.  I should've read more closely and carefully.  But, I'm still better than those.

Torie, if you knew me at all, you'd know I'm absurdly happy.  I don't know why, I can't explain it, but I'm just buzzing and bursting with happiness.  All it takes is a day when 1) I don't have to get up early, 2) I can eat good food and drink coffee, and 3) can have sex or have had sex within the last few days... and I'm just blissful.  Maybe something is wrong with me.

What's the word for my perspective, Narcissism?  I embrace it!

Now we humans constructed a thing called ‘marriage.’ It happened long before the Sumerian war god Jehovah was even on the scene. We did it because we formed societies; we learned how to farm, learned how to own and parcel land and needed a way to ensure it passed down.

Marriage is by no means limited to societies with agriculture and sedentism.  And, "Sumerian war god"?

unless you have a very loose definition of "family member," I don't think that's accurate.

No, but it is conducive to it.

No.

I'm pretty sure TJinWisco ranks a bit higher on the good poster list.
