We have such a thread.
As far as the 30/30 rule goes, there are numerous exceptions to that rule, and nobody is going to care if you want to post images in a thread dedicated to that purpose.
Thanks!

Am I allowed to start a new one?
I don't feel like digging through 900+ pages to find photos of my favorite members lol. : 
If not, it's cool. Just wondering.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I think I sound like a dork. Like many folks, I can't stand the sound of my own voice.
Yes, that can mean two things, lol.
Well, flattered I hope.
You've been very kind to me, but some of the harsh words you've had for other members here gave me a different impression of you. I thought you'd be more mean sounding lol. You sounded really nice.
Well, I make change in the coin tendered. I certainly prefer kindness, but I reject "turn the other cheek" as an approach to dealing with rude folks.
Also, I was out of kerosene, so fire-breathing that day was pretty much a no-go.

I really liked that avatar. Why did you change away from such a great picture? It was very distinctive and interesting.
Also, looking at your video was disappointing. From your self-description, you should look like some sort of freak, but you clearly do not. You should not lead us on and get our hopes up about such things! I was hoping for a face that would scare children! What a disappointment!

You should've seen him as the guy on the quaker oatmeal box. [J/K - actually some possessed priest character, but I thought he was going for quaker for the longest time.]

Just use the search function on the bottom of each page inside a thread. It will search only inside that thread. For example, a search of "bimbo" inside the member photos thread will somehow lead you to pictures of me...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

My wife is convinced I sit somewhere along that line as does everyone else. I would suggest we all sit along these spectrums in bisexuality and autism and there's really no real defined 'autistic person' or 'bi-sexual person' just a matter of degree (and self denial).
Yes, I totally agree. We're not toggle-monkeys, we're all on sliders.
I don't think that is true. I will give one example in some detail, and then some general examples. When I was young, I was raised to be a Southern Baptist (if you have no clue about it, look at the Landover Baptist site, and you will see something that is really only slightly exaggerated). One of the things I was told was that it was sinful and wicked to engage in homosexual actions. I remember thinking at the time that it was a strange thing to go on about, as I had about as much interest in doing that as I had in sticking a hot poker in my eye. So it was not a great concern to me, but I did think it odd that anyone said much about it. Fast forward several years. When I deconverted from Christianity, I was very angry that I had been suckered into believing such ridiculous nonsense. I hated religion with a great passion (still do, but it is more smoldering than white-hot as it was when I first deconverted). I wanted to do things offensive to religious sensibilities. It occurred to me that engaging in homosexual behavior would achieve the desired result. But it just was not something I wanted to do. If sticking a hot poker in my eye was offensive to Christianity, I would not have done that either. But I did want to piss on Christianity.
One of the things I did do was buy a shirt that said "Jesus is coming and he isn't wearing a condom." I wore it in public. I have also said things that have offended religious people, though I now mostly offend people online instead of in person.
And I like the ancient Greeks, who were, as a society, bisexual. (You might have guessed that I like the ancient Greeks from my name and avatar.) I have no problems with it philosophically, and am happy about the recent Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage in the U.S. I have voted in favor of gay marriage whenever possible, and even donated money to the cause.
Also, though I lack gaydar myself, everyone who knows me somehow knows I am straight and not gay. Lacking gaydar myself, I have very little concept of how it is that people tell such things, but quite a few people seem to be able to tell such things very quickly.
Anyway, if I were even a little bit interested in sex with a man, I would surely have done it when I wanted to piss on Christianity.
For a more general example, see:
I have encountered women who wish they were lesbians because there are so many asshole men. I think that idea is not uncommon, and if they were bisexual, then, with that attitude, they would give up on men and be with women. But they don't; the ones wishing they were lesbians are not lesbians or bisexual. If they were bisexual, they would just be with a woman and stop "wishing."

I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Er... guys, you're necroposting - reviving a long dead thread (and one which I hoped was dead  ) . And houseofcantor, you've got one here
