So your wife copped to seeking out someone based on expected lifetime earnings? I'd be pretty pissed, personally.

Piss off Plato.

I guess because they're complaining to the professor about it? Nice attempt to turn the table though, with social skills that subtle I bet you'd fit right with the bozos in this cl…

Damn you sound like such a clown. "You don't get me Amanda, I'm stalking you because I just have so much respect for you. I'm one of the nice ones!" "Well detective, I felt like we…

Why would you assume no conflict exists between the goals of all the worlds peoples "living like Texans," and preventing environmental catastrophe? The Earth is facing serious clim…
