If it's deep, insightful, or thought-provoking... Put it here.

I actually talked about this with Amanda earlier, but here's one for you:
If someone wants to wait until they're married, or at least until they're engaged to be so, they're a prude. At the same time, appearantly, if anyone gets married under the age of 23, even if they know it's the person they'll be with for the rest of their life, they're "jumping into things" and "don't know what they're getting into."
Bit of a double standard, isn't it?

Quite. One that, thankfully doesn't apply here. If you're 18 and truly in love, and the one you wish to spend your life with treats you well, no one in my family minds.
(Or if they do, they don't say anything about it, which is just as well.)

You didn't see the two of us when we started debating Shakespearian values on this subject.
Or which play "She's the Man" is based off of.
I say it's Twelveth Night.

And I still say "As You Like It."
Hey, at least we're not still discussing Romeo, Juliet, and Statutory Rape.

... Yeah, Juliet was like 14 in the play, right?

Yep, and Romeo was sixteen.

So, technically, they were both guilty of Statuatory rape.

Coming from my Vigorli fevered mind...
No, wait, this is from the Hiei/Kurama one...
Ah, forget it.
The meaning of life is...
42!
.............No. The meaning of life is sex.
Now, before you think this is typical of me, hear me out.
The reason we are here, obstensivly, is to continue the speices, right? How do we do that?
Sex. In the strickest sense.
Therefore, sex is the meaning of life. And hell, it's a damn good one. Far more fun than 42.
..........How do you know he didn't mean 42 orgasms?
Oh, shut up.

Hmm. So the question of Life, The Universe, and Everything could be:
How many children may a person have before s/he has fulfilled his or her reproductive purpose in life?
42.

Did I think too much on it?

I'm still kinda shocked that you used the word "obstensively".

More proof that Movie Gallery causes wierd discussions... From the Discussions While Closing Files...
Recently, Disney officially added Pocahontas and Mulan to the list of Disney Princesses and announced Cinderella 3... That got Amanda and me talking (always something scary...) and we ended up rating the Disney Princesses...
In order of ass-kicking ability.
Topping the list, without rival, Mulan. This girl kicked her future husband's ass (repeatedly), saved China, and still managed to save her family's honor. (I mean, when the Emperor's got your back, no one's gonna mess with you, girl or no.... Then there's the fact that she, with only four soldiers, stopped Shan Yu's takeover of the palace...) She can kick your butt without even blinking and still look good doing so.
Then come Jasmine and Pocahontas who, while they haven't done as much damage to anyone as Mulan, certainly have the ability to do so if crossed (I mean, for example, Jasmine has a pet TIGER, annoy her and you're gonna be cat food for a really big, really hungry cat...).
Runners up are Belle and Ariel who have potential, if not true ass-kicking ability yet. Belle DID fight Gaston to save the Beast at one point, Ariel's gone through a lot of shit, they're good.... Just not yet good enough
There's one girl who has possible potential, that is, if palace life hasn't irreparable softened her, and that's Cinderella, who used to work for a living and if she still has anything left from that could be a real threat.
Unfortunately for them, Aurora, the "Sleeping Beauty"... and does anyone know Snow White's real name? (She married the prince, I HIGHLY doubt that she's still 'snow white'. To paraphrase Mae West, I think she's probably drifted.) Well, anyway, they don't really rate on the scale, actually... No ability or potential.
Anyone else want to chime in here?
