Spend a day in the U.S. And you will change your tune very quickly.

RE: Morality
I want to mention when you talked about calling your gf fat. I would say it is very morally wrong to NOT tell someone they are fat. We all grew up being told to not tell people they are fat... wrong.. stupid.. blah blah blah to spare them embarrassment. Thats a load of bologna. If someone is fat, you tell them, yes you are fat, then they can remedy their situation so in the long run you actually helped the person, maybe at the cost of a little feelings getting hurt, but it is better for the person to know the truth then to hide behind lies.

Morality is telling the truth no matter what, along with treating people as equals. You do not need a book for that, it is hardwired into our bodies. Ever kill a mammal then feel funny or unsure of what you have just done.. that is your body telling you, why the fuck did you do that. Cry when someone close dies? Have the feeling of betrayal that can not be cured? Biological morality.
Yet we do know many of our kind can not feel empathy, now is that a learned trait, or a biological trail, id say a learned trait. If you are highly religious you have a false sense of superiority so you have learned to not feel empathy because you are "better" than said person, because of a stupid book that says you are.

Superior by cosmic decree. Regardless of action. It's actually a horrifying thought.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Why? Do you think she/he doesn't know? Mind your own business,but answer honestly if asked a direct question. There is no such moral obligation to another rational adult. An irrational one won't listen and may actually hit you.

Not just girls, I assure you.


I solved my weight issue:I removed the large mirror from my bedroom.There is now one mirror in my house,a small shaving mirror in the bathroom.Pretty sure I have some scales, but have no idea where they are. Same goes for the iron.

I get weighed at the vet's when I take the dogs in for their shots.
