Two words: Clothing Optional, if I had to ogle, why not go all the way

Naming a kid is sort of like claiming him/her as your own, human beings have been doing that for centuries before we tried to analyze power dynamics between mother and father or Mother and mother or father and father or....you get the drill. Until they are old enough, they are going to be under their parents' influence. However, even past 21 years old, not many choose to rename themselves or split off from their parents; it is easier to follow your parent's example rather strike out a path on your own.

First, a new concept in my story is the ambiguous morality of need in human existence. One groups needs in order to exist may conflict with anothers group's needs. In modern fiction, we often read about good over evil, when it comes to needs. However, Eastern storytelling usually make the case that needs are essentially ambiguous where good and evil come from perspective. Remember that as you read my chapter. Now here is my thoughts to continue on kansas, since Arizona is starting the same route and have been passed by both state legislature. This is not the work of just an isolated group. It appears to be a well oiled campaign to allow religious groups to deny srrvices and products to lgbt individuals. I have already said why it is bad for us, but let me reiterate. It is a barrier to economic operations. Costs for lgbt people would be prohibitive to even start new businesses and thus less likely to be created. It enforces a social hierarchy akin to segregation, since lgbt people amount to less than 5-10% of population. It is far from equal opportunity or equal services, if this campaign wins, economic opportunity and social segregation will destroy any gains that we have made. I am a conservative and free market guy at heart, but my line in the sand has been crossed with these laws. It is not about civil rights or civil liberties, it is about basic freedoms of opportunity that is being denied. God does not run my business, he does not pay my bills, and he is not there making sales. If i need faith to make a tough decision I will seek his guidance, but if i am just on day to day operations, it is my choice and free will.

The state could go the spartan route:take the kids, raise him as a warrior with a group of other boys, and create the most discliplined military in the world. Wait wasn't that a movie... Beyond women's right issue, I imagine custody of same sex couples in surrogate cases will also be affected by the judgments. It is complicated.

Zombies have dreams ! Your dreams are extrapolations of your life, so what is it that scare you so much that you need to run away from it? An act of nature is probably an extrapolation of an outside force acting on your life beyond normal circumstances. Has something unexpected happened recently?

Not bad Zombie, I kind of agree, except for the Euro-Centric approach: European Civilization is not that old, your civilization's age is less than fifth of Asian Civilizations that predate you by thousands of years. Far Eastern Asians have a different way of dealing with conflicts among nations, which is just as fair and even more developed than European concepts: if you don't agree with me and I don't agree with you; we offer peace, then when you don't have any defenses up, chop off your legs and feed the rest to swine Europeans may think of this as ungamely and deceitful, Asian politicians see it as a win by any means necessary is a win, if you don't like it, we will just rewrite the history books to make it look better Sure, we have peaceful sides as well, some of us adore nature, and even believe in progressive social concepts thousands of years ahead of anyone else. However, I think Europeans Civilization focus too much on the peaceful side and forget about the aggressive side of Philosophies. As the Chinese shared a concept of Yin-Yang/Passive and Aggressive philosophy with the world, its basic principle is a "firm" and "certain" duality that all human beings cannot escape Peace or Aggression, because it is part of life. European politicians have not become enlightened by peace, they have grown afraid of aggression. Asian politicians don't fight for God or Glory, because there is nothing about God or Glory that really gives you anything in the long term. We fight over money, resources, and land, because there is more value from what is in front of you that can be worked, built upon, and cultivated than a thought or belief in a higher force. Our aggression is not based on "-ism" (although, practical pretense would usually mean a western "-ism" must be invoked), the basis is on simple desire and want. Whether, it's Korea, Japan, China, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand,...a lot of extreme examples of national politics driven by "cui bono" over peaceful coexistence can be found Yet, on the flip side, you have people desiring peace, a rejection of such excessive consumption or desire, and a simple life. There's those elements too in Eastern practice that balance off the more covetous nature. However, it's influence ebbs and flows with time, so when it fails to gain audience, the covetous nature returns and more wars are fought. Why do you think Buddha wanted to leave worldly issues behind It's a different evolution of thought without Christianity being as large a player in Asian politics. I don't think Europeans can completely understand that kind of mindset, because despite how far Christianity has changed and declined in European life, it is still part of the foundations of your ethics and morals.

Much more fun to compete and fight America by and large is a divided nation, since it's birth and founding to its civil War, and today. Unlike Europe or Asia with Kings or with Emperors, no one has actually tamed the United States under one power despite how close certain groups have come Without that taming, Americans have no real perspective to create what you describe for political apathy. The United states is still battling it out; the problem is no one is going to win in the US as long as their other side remains. Also, due to social constraints and a sort of self-repression, no one is willing to take up an actual fight in fear of repercussions. In the last few decades, American people have become more reactionary than active participants within our own nation. The outside world might say Americans are more active in foreign affairs, but look deeper at the national core, less than 50% of Americans usually vote, unless they react to a new piece of news like "Terrorism", "Gay Marriage", or "Obamacare". There's too many repressed conflicting views, too many divergent ideas, and too many antagonistic issues.

Actually Burke was not against using force of arms to stop anarchy and civil disturbances. Burkean conservatism is pragmatism. Small government yes, but practical government and practical solutions for the future are just as important. I dislike how this nation is divided currently by our mindsets and economics. Problem with your position is that you're assuming equal supply can meet demand. A grocery store in a small Kansas town of 4-5,000 is very different from a major producer like Krogers, Stop and Shop, or other big corporations that exist around the US. We're talking about a state that is very agrarian and in essence to modern standards of an urban society, not as accessssible geographically. There are areas of Kansas that have 15 miles between major brand grocery stores and "local stores". This is the old fashioned Main street of America that will make it a problem. You cannot discount that a barrier based on religious collusion against homosexuality would not raise economic issues. In addition, without government intervention to stop such collusion in these areas, costs will create a major social and economic divide between Kansas gays versus Kansas straight populations. Religious freedom does not extend to economic collusion by individuals. Markets do not automatically adjust well when groups try to collude to raise prices, look at OPEC (it is probably the most successful colluded Oligopoly in history) Now if you assume that stores will open up to serve gays, here's another question, where will the capital and labor come from if local business will collude against you. You could say go to Big Banks and Big Corps that I mentioned like Krogers, but business hates risk with no short term profit (It's sort of the reverse of their love for high risk and high rewards). Most people can't come up with capital in savings, so capital is needed from banking. Even if you are able to get capital, it will be priced at a higher premium than other similar businesses in the area. Capital barriers of entry are huge issues especially when inventory and receivable delay compound your problems. Lastly, I mentioned this earlier, Labor. How can you acquire skilled labor in a hostile environment. How many professional people worked for Black establishment during the Jim Crow era south for instance when laws such as this were in effect Your capital restriction will mean lower salaries/wages, so you will not be able to hire skilled labor on par with other individual businesses. Collusion has to be fought and killed at its source, it's an insular concept that restricts growth, promotes bigotry, and destroy economic opportunities. Sure, it's individual freedom, but I disagree with this form of freedom. Reverse the thinking on this, If the state said, we don't want to have women in business instead of gays in order to promote female submission to men and reduce the feminist outreach, is that not a clear danger to free society. For the United States to grow, economic barriers have to end, you can't have society split into oligopolies. That's where government belongs: cut the bureaucracy and individual aspects of collusion, cut government spending on things that continue this vicious cycle of agrarian closed mindsets (without government subsidies, I bet you half the farms in Kansas would fail this winter), and push for an efficient and strong society. I am a modernist, a conservative, and a free market advocate. The United States cannot continue pretending that it can be an agrarian society with massive urban centers on each coast. When you remove the agrarian mindset, force the farmers to get into factories and cities to seek jobs, then you get people willing to accept progressive concept like gay equality (not merely rights, equality is basis of a good free society). I agree with you that federal government is not helping this cause by offering incentives to remain small and isolated dots on a map. However, I also see a place for government authority, in breaking collusive aspects of society. Also, small libertarian or small "l" concepts are too ethnocentric. Milton Friedman despite how much I liked him, I have realize over time that he is far too centered on western thought and lacks global perspective. Let's see, the Pyramids, Great Wall, and Periclean tower were all done with central governments. The Louvre was created by Napoleon, an autocratic emperor. As for science, hmmm....where did Da Vinci get money for his projects, who paid for Michaeangelo's architecture,...let's add one more for a blast, who funded for Atomic technology to be developed.... A central government has been at the forefront of most major developments in history. A key difference between those eras of breakthroughs/inspiration and now is that leadership was less compromising and more direct. Libertarianism has white washed too much of what this nation needs to grow and be prosperous.

That's why it is wrong on so skewed on levels with modern dynamics. Fundamentally, markets should never have barriers if we want to maintain a free society. However, the personal opinion of people do not mean that they can legally use it as a means of collusion to create barriers of entry in business. My Libertarianism ran its course years ago, I liked the idea, until I realize it's impossible if individuals start colluding and have too much power over market share dynamics that it would create a system of society that is less free. Right now in Kansas, the majority opinion is overwhelmingly anti-gay; separate but equal can never exist when the two sides are unevenly matched. When that happens, gay bakers will have problems getting flour for their cake from local distributors, gay business owners will have issues getting skilled labor, and gay people won't get their wedding cake. Individual freedom is a problem, when there is collusion as in group thinking. I would say government has a role in stopping market and individual collusion as a Conservative, I see the merits of holding law and order.

First, something readers want to hear, I am writing a new chapter for Causality right now. It will be a full chapter that ties into the multiple storylines that I had left off in hte last chapter. Alex, the Taoist Technomage (basically true in my story, magic is science, now James savik will be throwing cats at me ), is heading into a meeting with the Shinto members from the prior chapter, who were hunting ghosts and seeking out something. Japanese Shinto and Chinese Taoist traditions are parallel practices and antagonistic. He is going alone to the meeting that may be incredibly deadly. Sid and Patrick are heading to find more information about the murders of troubled Teenagers, who were killed based on their birth cycle in the 12 animal Asian Zodiac. They will be heading to an interesting place that may appear normal, but it is far from it. Now, here's my rant about Kansas...... Alright, here's my two cents on Kansas' House of Representatives recent passage of a law that would in effect be a Jim Crow law against Gay Americans I CALL BULLSHIT http://www.kansascity.com/2014/02/14/4823285/surprise-kansas-gop-leader-pushes.html Lucky for me, Kansas Senate Republicans also agree, it's a stupid concept and just basically a way to say, you can't come into my store, my gas station, or my restaurant, because I have a Big "I Luv Jesus" place card on my door. There's a difference between being against a position and being against a group; one is debatable and I'd be willing to fight over it, but the other side is insane attempt at discrimination and if allowed to continue further than that much worse as history has taught us. Still, it does say something about Americans and grassroots (I admit it Republican Grassroots); a key reason why I don't believe in the concept of Individualism and Libertarian direction that Republicans had gone between 2008-2013. People are ignorant, easily persuaded, and do not think about larger issues than things they hear and imagine. Leaders are chosen to lead, not be be led by the commons. A republic is at its heart a strong central authority, not a community program. You want religious community, go church and pray. You want to be an American, live together and try to make things work. Alright, there's my old fashioned conservatism speaking out...

I stand corrected Seriously try it out, I never thought of pizzas being a vehicle for sweet until I had it. http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Chocolate-chip-s_mores-pizza-373415?columns=4&position=1%2F26 Now doesn't that make you feel better about a new Justin Bieber

I like strong women characters, but I also realize that is not a gay concept for plots. Gay readers gravitate towards hot steamy guys, evil women that supress their sexuality, and over religious zealots that hunt them in the shadows. (Shame a lot of readers and writers are "genre locked")

He is a judge, not competitor i can cheer on. Not the same

Chocolate chip and marshmellow sauce is good, just give sweet pizzas a chance I personally want a non airhead pop star.

We don't have anything that is homo-erotic right now as UK Splash on TV as a Trash show. Not to say there's no trash TV, American Cooking competitions are still a staple in Trash TV, I am still rooting for Jeff on "The Taste", crying for Travis and Bene from "Top Chef", and shunning "Chopped" for its lack of gay representation I also get sentimental whenever I watch Undercover Boss, because it is such a feel good show that your job matters despite the facts of life I got an idea for a good US trashy TV show too: with the amount of excess wrestlers out there and no Olympic Prize for them anymore, why can't they do a TV reality show based on wrestlers competing against each other in elimination match ups. They can be oiled up and in extra tight singlets

Nothing against you Lathe, but I tend to agree with Adam's point about trolls. Being arrogant is not the tell-tale sign of trolling, (I should know I've been a stubborn and prideful guy ). The acts of insult and offense would not only deflect a discussion from its points, but incite strong emotional responses in kind.

Further proof that privacy does not exist Besides, he will probably get some great sponsor deals from being the 1st. Come on kitty cat, there is nothing wrong with simple acceptance versus complex denial. He could have pulled the john travolta card and denied despite a million reports.

You're getting sentimental in your decaying brain zombie Rich, life is filled with rotten lots and sqaushed dreams. Some accept it and make do with what they have been dealt. Others go back to the grocery store of life and try to find something sweet to offset bitter experiences. Bottom line; you cannot choose what you are or what you've done; but you always have a chance to seek happiness with or without another guy. The attempt of seeking joy gives a lot more meaning to life than merely duty and unanswered questions. Ask yourself; do you want to be completely honest with your wife? Your kids?

Send us your gay defensive ends, we'll whip em in shape up here in new england. It would be a good change of news versus hearing about hernandez murder case again. Plus if he wants to get married, adopt a kid, or be by the bed side of his partner, he's covered up here. Name a region or team that is better for him (san fran made the homophobic jabs earlier)

Maybe it's a creamy cheese and the buns are composed of two deep fried haddocks. That's my idea of surf and turf

Cute puppy dog eyes, please I promise you it will make you happy in the end However, if that does not suit your taste, try getting the hobbit desolation of smaug on dvd

I imagine James Savik being Daryl Dixon inspiration (So which Hollywood TV writer did you bag, you old cat ) I watch the show, then went to the comics and have followed both on their parallel paths. It is the best show on TV in recent years and it has creatively changed the Zombie genre forever. I emotionally am invested in the characters, but I know any of them can be dead so I just enjoy their moments on the screen. It is kind of Cathartic to fall in love with a character, watch their arc, then their unexpected deaths.

Nah you didnt hijack a thing it does show we're all a little geeky for different things Wonder if they are going to washington now. If you read the comics, they should be going up north after the prison. They will also meet an antagonist who is like the pat robertson of walking dead.

Cel, you should watch one of my favorite movies...What dreams may come Robin williams tragic life and colorful afterlife balanced the dark tones of his children death and his wifes suicide and descent into her personal hell, but it maintains sparkles of love and eternal devotion to your lover.

Do they have zombie sex? Can there be gay zombies? Hmm..
