| My father was an atheist. He was also a highly decorated Navy SEAL who served during the Vietnam War, and paid for his service with his life. 20 years after his service, he contracted cancer from the exposure to Agent Orange. I have about five friends in the US army who are atheists, and my atheist ... |

For me, virginity was never a big deal. I lost mine (to a guy) went "That's it?" and didn't put much more thought into it. There was no blood, no nothing. More important than a partner's virginity, or lack thereof, is their willingness to experiment.  |

| I have an extremely low opinion of cops. I've noticed here in my town, they tend to go after Aboriginal drivers a lot more than they do white drivers, and are really violent with people over the littlest things. |

| "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ." But I digress. What country do you live in? If you're living in a country or town with a Christian majority, then chances are you're going to meet more Christians, and then have a higher chance of meeting people who... |

| I'm a part time vegetarian (Low iron counts, especially around my period, mean I cannot be a full time vegetarian) and I do my best to respect animals' space. For me, the most important part of this is to curb rampant overdevelopment. Example, in my home state, where we are home to some creatures wh... |

| My AS makes me politically incorrect by nature. If I see something I don't like I say so, and many times this has labeled me as racist or bigot. You need to be very careful with what you say when it comes to race. You don't seem to have that ignorance hate that many people I come across have, but s... |

If I see someone acting racist, even one of my friends, I tend to call them out on it, and make them very uncomfortable, but it needs to be... |

"Behind every great man there is a... very shocked mother in law."
I can't remember who said that, I think it was Oscar Wilde. What I say personally is "Behind every great man, there is a woman preparing to push him aside and stop being in his f*****g shadow." |

| Has anyone actually called Che Jesus? That seems like a bit of a stretch. He was a man who had ideas and a passion to change the world, but ends don't always justify the means, and he failed to realize this. Either way, I don't like Churchill either, so that didn't really appeal to me. Seems like yo... |
