the fact that marriages suck doesn't make school better ;p

You say marriage sucks, and people assume you're single. You say school sucks, and nobody assumes anything. Hmm.

I assume he went to school once.

Your initial assumption that someone who disagrees with you is probably doing so for irrational or biased reasons is meaningful.

I have in fact thought about these issues. It certainly is possible that I've made a mistake. It's also possible the mistake has something to do with bias. On the other hand, it's also possible you have made a mistake. You are married. Why shouldn't we assume you are biased?

It's striking that you admit marriage has many unpleasant parts, but find it strange that someone would question its value for legitimate reasons.

Anyway, it's a large subject and I'm busy atm, but if you are genuinely interested then email me [email protected] and I'll get back to you.

My longer post and my short response to you were both jokes. That's all. Please don't read too much into them; they were certainly not meant to hurt anyone or state an opinion on anything.

Since the OP was lighthearted, I just went with the flow and had a little fun. After all, hn is also my little break from moving bits and bytes around all day long. Sorry if I confused anyone.

xlnt, thanks for the email address. May I suggest you put it on your profile, too. I've noticed that you're posting lots of comments these days, some controversial, some not so much. I'm sure I'll want to engage you offline sometime and I imagine others may want to also. Looking forward to it.

I didn't realize the second one was a joke. I knew the first one was a joke, but I thought it had some truth in it anyway.

It has to or it wouldn't be a joke.
