Whats the context in Loving v. Virginia? I understand that it’s somewhere in the middle of the civil rights movement, but how far along was the movement? Were blacks seen as equals? 16 states (how many states were there in 1967?) had anti-miscegenation laws, which is the minority. This would lead me to believe that blacks were at least recognized as equals in some matters. Can you help a Canadian out? -StapleLeaf
It was ratified that by a 6-1 state supreme court vote in 1968, that indeed, Virginia is for lovers.
I love how infomercials make the most mundane process look like rocket science. You know what I’m talking about…infomercial for a new can opener showing the ”old” way to do it and makes it seems impossible to do.
IT’S A FUCKING CAN OPENER, HOW CAN IT BE THAT HARD. -Lansing_Lance
Theres always a drawer or cabinet full of the most inefficient way to stack anything you own, also. Add in the shot of someone somehow hurting themselves after a menial task, and you’ve got yourself an infomercial.
The hardest instrument to play in Rock Band? My roomate says guitar, I say drums, you decide. -ProfPhil
In my experience, Drums are the hardest, I get shin splints trying to play the bass drum. If you dont know the song, vocals are tougher than guitar. Bass is always easiest.
my ex-roommates from 06. they used me for my money. i used them to get girls. i get their drunken sloppy seconds. – ApprenticeofOrder
So, what you are saying is that you exchanged the loss of money for a gain in pussy. Way to buy your trim, loser.
How often do you pray? I have to pray every School morning, they make us, other than that I don’t. -tunabomber
I don’t pray, but I hope a lot. I find the results are the same. Also, no one can force you to pray, you can use that time for introspection or imaging the girl praying in front of you is naked, if you choose.
How can anyone say the quality of Family Guy has gone downhill? The characters have changed from the stale ones to something more random, yet occasionally hilarious. -flamer.tv
Because every show always does. Welcome to life. That being said, I’m still a big fan of free TV delivered to my house that makes me laugh, and Family Guy still fits that bill.
What are the attitudes of most Christians you’ve met like? -DairyReam
The same as my dealings with any other group; 20% genuinely interesting, 80% taking themselves too seriously to care about anything else.
Has a girl ever told you she was older, then turned out to be, much much younger? Without getting too specific, this happened to me recently, and besides flirting with felonies, was very embarrassing. -abolutelyperfect
I met a girl online who lied about her age. I was 18, she told me she was 17. One day she came and picked me up from my college in her car. I thought she looked young and teased her about it. After weeks of having sex she told me she was 14. She stole her moms car and didn’t even have a license, all just to get me to date her, and impress her friends. I felt taken, for sure.
Um, have girls ever mocked you while you were having sex with them? Like not “LOL YOUR PENIS IS SMALL AND INADEQUATE” but like almost motivational like “what’s wrong too much for you to handle HUH HUH” or things along those lines. _Nishmo
When a girl did that to me, I just put a little weight on her neck with my hand. In my experience, I have found that girls who like to talk dirty, also like to be shut up.
Who’s your favourite Star Trek Chief Engineer? -Trekkerie
Geordi > Welshy > Scotty > Don’t know anyone else.
Ok, so, I like to consider myself a storyteller since I’ve been a fictional prose writer for years now.
But the way I get story ideas is different than any other method I’ve ever heard of, and that’s what makes me unique I think. Because of this method I use, I rarely have the issue of writer’s block (that’s not to say I never have it – every writer goes through writer’s block once in a while).
I’m not boasting, but I’m really amazed and the extent of ideas I get through this method alone. Looking back, my greatest story ideas come from it. It’s easily and by far my greatest method for getting story ideas.
And you know what? I’m not going to reveal it. I’ll only reveal it once I’m a successful writer. -Sean_David
Well, you’ve got the attention whore quality of a true successful writer. Unfortunately, your prose sucks. So, your “method” only increases your how much you suck and your ego of which will cause only a bigger crippling of misfortune in your eventual downfall. Good luck with that, though.
Is sexual content in horror movies always necessary? Only scary movies. Ones that didn’t contain teen sex and boobs, boobs, boobs in order to grab audience. -FDS_Woman
The sort of people who watch horror movies are the sort of people who enjoy cheap and easy visual stimulation of violence upon others, so they would also enjoy the cheap and easy visual stimulation of nudity, or at the least, an attractive lead female. The perversion of violence is more ensickening to some, than the nude human form.
How many jobs have you had? I’ve been working since I was 16 and a half. And I’ve had a total of 5 jobs (+ a summer internship and private contract work) in the span of the last 6 years. -CannonReed
I started working at 14, probably had a dozen jobs in my life so far, I’m 31. Full disclosure, 8 of those were restaurants, where in the cooking field more jobs means more experience, where an office thinks more jobs, less stable.
You watch House, right? Thirteen or Cameron? -MelonCollie
Yes, please.
