At school, in kinder, the little ones, boys and girls, often need hugs. I defy any administrator to tell me I can't do that. I'd have to bring out my stick.

Next year, in first grade, I plan to continue hugging whenever its needed.

What good is a poll that doesn't have NO as an option?

I mean

Yes,
Yes, sort of,
Yes, with conditions,
No, sort of with conditions but kind of yes.

I mean

NO!

(Not even BBQ'd)

That would free the women to work even harder for the state.
I agree with DesertGrandma! - she makes an excellent point.

We spend horrendous amounts of our lives fretting about romantic love, and/or sex.
(I read somewhere that over 90% of songs are about love ; and there's probably an equally terrifying proportion of the other arts obsessed with that too.)

If we could turn off the relevant sex-obsession genes, and leave procreation to laboratories, we'd be able to get an awful lot more done!

You're kidding, right? . . . right? . . . tell me you're kidding.

If you're not kidding, I would have sooooooo much to say in response to those statements that I'd probably never shut up, so I'll just choose to believe that you're kidding.

Please tell me you're kidding.

Don't worry - I was just kidding!

It would be great to be asexual though, wouldn't it?
