Garfield brings it upon himself. . .

Ok. For the record, I’m not angry about anything that was said and I do realize how stupid it must have seemed of me to say I wanted opinions and then to complain. I apologize.

I do wish to say that I am NOT planning on spending the rest of my life with this girl, nor am I planning on marrying her. I am not PLANNING any of those things right now, it’s kind of like the difference between thinking that a pizza would taste good right now and making one. What I meant to say (which, granted, was different than what I actually asked) was that I FEEL like I could spend the rest of my life with her. I FEEL like I could be content and happy knowing that we’re together.
I realize that I’m young, that I have not experienced a lot of what life has to offer. I realize that I don’t need to be worrying about long term stuff. I’m not worrying about it. I don’t really think about it all that much, just every once in a while. I realize that telling her this probably would not be a good idea.

To ob and everyone else in chat, I’m sorry. I acted like an idiot and even moreso by starting this. I understand your points of view (as much as I can, being this young and all), and I respect your opinions.

If we’d like to keep this thread open for (civilized) discussion, it could be moved to MPSIMS, if not then it can be closed. Maybe it would be a better idea if anyone is interested in discussing it to start a new thread somewhere else though.

[sub]p.s. We’re both committed to wait until marriage to have sex, so that’s not something to worry about.[/sub]

I wholeheartedly agree with the OP! If he’d actually used Secret Service agents like any other president, Charles Guiteau never would have been able to shoot him while he was passing through the train sta…

Oh, sorry - thought we were talking about President James Garfield.

Did you know he lived 88 days with a bullet lodged near his spine before he actually died? He also installed a very clever air cooling system in the White House…

Esprix, I must say that I’ve never read you much, but anyone who injects obscure presidential trivia into a conversation is aces in my book (and any sentence that involves James Garfield involves obscure presidential trivia).

Nice to formally meet you.

Oh, I got a ton of that. Nelson Rockefeller despised the Vice Presidential home (which had just been obtained by his predecessor, and it used to be the home of the chief of the Naval Observatory - until then, all VP’s had lived in a DC-area hotel), so he just decided to live in his own estate in Virginia. Dan Quayle added a putting green to the property.

I just wanted to say that truer words have never been typed.

Carry on.
