    People with Opposite-Sex Siblings: Question

    Not sure what you're meaning to say exactly... Are you trying to say that girls with brothers are less likely to become sluts? Or, if you were just asking what everyone else thinks: I'm thinking the broken-family aspect there will have some part to play in increasing her chances of becoming a...

    One night loving - why not?

    +1, but with disgust you could measure and graph. Take what I say for what it's worth; don't go gold-mining for fanciful implications that aren't there. When a mom tells a kid to be quiet, do you say to her that only in communist countries are people told by authority to be quiet? I had the...

    People with Opposite-Sex Siblings: Question

    Which one? Because according to the OP, which one hopes you would have read: and I need to ask a mod if we can get a bull-horn widget. I don't know how much more one needs to emphasize these things before people stop jumping on the LOL-Wagon. Might want to read the thread first.

    One night loving - why not?

    I just read the first few pages of this thread, and acquired a royal obligation to humanity to drop in here just to say that Enteebee (the guy who was harassing rubificticious) is one of most outrageous, unforgivable lowlifes I've come across in a LOOONG time (and I've accumulated membership to...

    People with Opposite-Sex Siblings: Question

    I'm still assuming you're joking, though... If not, you'll have to clarify. Yeah. The thought might not very comfortable for some, but for those who DO make use of it, by all means, let them be... They're the lucky ones.

    People with Opposite-Sex Siblings: Question

    What's even more uncomfortable is trying to figure out who's idea it was to move it to the "Love & Relationships" section. I think that's the reason for the sour replies homing in around incest.

    People with Opposite-Sex Siblings: Question

    It seems most people so far are (very predictably) more interested in taking this discussion down the road of incest/etc (or whatever they're thinking when they cast their ridicule). Thanks to those who have answered seriously so far. It seems there's a definite line drawn between families with...

    People with Opposite-Sex Siblings: Question

    Here's a theoretical question: Could you imagine living in a society where it was normal to be very, very close to an opposite-sex sibling (non-sexual), or is the thought too uncomfortable? I'm talking about being close enough where you act like a married couple regarding certain types of...

    what TYPE of school do u go to?

    Re: Public School vs. Private You're really reaching here. Of course, and of course. By the way, might I point out that so far I've posted stats (American), and a summary of the Australian Department of Education's utterly unsurprising view on public vs. private schools, while you've posted...

    what TYPE of school do u go to?

    Re: Public School vs. Private If they're posting REAL statistics, they could be martians bent on the destruction of all man-kind, and it wouldn't change anything. Statistics are statistics. First of all, you can't discredit the facts just because of WHO is posting them (just like you can't...

    what TYPE of school do u go to?

    Re: Public School vs. Private 1: You say "potentially biased" because... because you want them to be? Please explain. 2: As for being an American study, that's true, but according to this page (which was hard to find, as almost NOTHING is written out there on Australian schools) it's the same...

    what TYPE of school do u go to?

    Re: Public School vs. Private I linked to these statistics that stated a tremendous case for private schools. I'm assuming you haven't read them. I see. I didn't. (good THING you don't get to choose... That certainly saves you some face.) Okay, hang onto something: that page has a section...

    what TYPE of school do u go to?

    Re: Public School vs. Private WHERE DO YOU PEOPLE LEARN YOUR ANTICS??? I was about to say "Go back to school" so you can learn how to present an idea, but then realized the irony. Good grief! Follow this thread starting from here for an introductory course on how to offer a contrary opinion...

    what TYPE of school do u go to?

    Re: Public School vs. Private Here are some statistics showing that private school (at least in the US) is considerably better than public school, on average: CAPE | Private School Facts
