"Among the items is a T-shirt with the slogan, "Asexuality: it's not just for amoebas anymore."

I've got no problem with consenting adults not having sex with one another. But I draw the line at minors.

"And this A-Pride thing is silliness."

Is it any sillier than being proud to be homosexual?

Maybe he's a chubby chaser. Those who are sexually around by obese women should also be protected by the government.

Airlines should not be permitted to discriminate against big women like Edwards' wife.

Companies should have a quota for how many minimum number of chubby chasers they have on staff.

Sex ed classes should address the issues of having sex with an extra heavy partner.

Everyone's fetish should be embraced by grade school kids.

But weegee, I've seen tons of ugly-stick victims and they are all on romantic walks--right in front of me--at the park every sunday. 'splain that!

Maybe I'm just a "vegetarian"... lol

Well, this means that pretty soon Massachusetts will have asexual laws, where those who are "asexual" will get all the benefits and rights of a married couple, ie tax breaks, etc.

She probably thought that going to a "Bake Sale" meant that she had to eat all of it...

About one percent of adults have absolutely no interest in sex ...

Sounds just like my ex.

It is a nice thing for a guy as good looking as John Edwards to stay married to woman as big as his wife. I give this guy a lot of credit for integrity.

I'll clarify this time...
He gets credit for a lot of patience...He's probably waited for her to lose the weight, and now he's still waiting....

Sometimes I wouldnt mind be able to switch it off for a while. You know the old thing about a sexual thought every six minutes or something like that. I do think we are over stimulated in modern society. Its everywhere you look.

Seeing that picture leaves me convinced that John has boyfriend and that his wife is just a beard.

He's just hanging on for the class-action against Twinkies.

I've heard that...Doesn't it just have to do with the high stress levels of modern life? (..and not so much to the high incidence of visual stimulation?)
Anybody know more about this?...

Does this mean they'll have to build yet another set of bathrooms in college dorms?

Just finished reading my state teachers union monthly newspaper," election issue" telling me I must vote Kerry/Edwards, and publishing the list of all state union endorsed candidates..... 95% of them DemocRATS.
It's great to be able to hit free republic and get a laugh or two. Not only the post, but also the humorous, insightful comments. Although I do question the term "asexual activists". Shouldn't it be asexual inactivists?

"The twinkies just flew off the shelf and right into my mouth..it happened so fast..."

"The next thing I knew, the floor was strewn with twinky wrappers..."

Sample insurance claim forms...
