no love for josh duhamel?

in my opinion, the only money you should have sitting in a savings account is an emergency fund (3- to 6-months worth) and a small amount for your general monthly living expenses. dump everything else into investments... 401k, Roth IRA, stocks, pay down/off your credit cards, car payments, and...

awesome! the first one was classic.

growing up in the '80s, i can't name a single gay tv character in any show that i watched. not saying there weren't any, i just didn't know it at the time. and guess what? I STILL TURNED OUT GAY

there's a cruel irony unfolding here too, in that gay men are banned from donating blood. i can't imagine how helpless that community must feel right now.

was JUST about to post the same thing haha

also curious to hear about this agenda that is constantly brought up.... you mean the one in which we're trying to secure equal rights? your line about impressionable youth seems to imply that exposure to gay people will turn them gay. i grew up in the '80s in a normal, stable home. 2.5 kids...

you're saying stuff... but you're not saying anything. the reference to china's one child policy is ironic, given that china has come on as one of the most dominant economies in recent years. although i'm not sure i agree that the one child policy has anything to do with the topic at hand...

yeah i'd like to hear more about this moral degradation...

i think it's a combination of a lot of things. in this country, pop culture reigns supreme... so i think having openly gay stars and characters just being themselves on tv was huge. ellen, will and grace, the real world, modern family, etc... even most soap operas and dramas eventually had at...

lol yup... had forgotten about that. probably around the same time.

then (maybe 10 years ago??) now (i'm on the right...)
