Edward said:I do feel the need to respond to this point.... clinical depression is indeed a very real illness, and some of us would be very screwed up today were it not for antidepressants.

a lot more realistic than a show like Leave it To Beaver.
Miss Neecerie said:Well based on that assessment...some of us (including myself in this) should just not even bother with relationships because wow...even if we found the 'one'....it would just end...

Smithy said:Sorry but IMHO that's complete nonsense. It is capable for human beings to fall in love more than once. This seems more a fact that there are distinct differences between countries and individual levels of religious persuasion which seem to inform people's ideas of love and the nature of it. But I think it's slightly arrogant to think that those who have led, what could be deemed as a virginal life, have an exclusive market on love, or that how many people one has slept with previously determines how deep one can be in love. If such ideas stem from a religious belief fair enough, but that's a matter of belief and faith, rather than any real evidence of such. Classic case of each to their own.
The other thing that's sad is a lack of innocence, not a personal innocence but a societal innocence - a time when people didn't automatically assume the worst about authority figures, when certain figures were "above reproach" - I don't think for one minute that they ever were, but how much simpler life would be if you lived your life with the assumption that they were....

Charlie Noodles said:Chivalry is dead.
If courtesy or assistance might be appreciated or needed I will offer it to either gender. I don’t see a reason to offer it to the ladies specifically. It might be nice, but doesn’t it operate under the idea that the ladies are not equal and physically as well as socially inferior?
In the age of gender equality and women’s gyms, they’re often more able-bodied than I am.
