That lady deserved a good tip. 3nodding I wish she was around here, because it would be worth paying for haircuts to show support for intelligence.....and getting a decent hair cut. My mom cuts my hair all the time, and poorly gonk (I stopped getting hair cuts a few years ago because it always looked worse ofter she cut it. I now allow only the rarest of trims to ensure the staving off of split ends sweatdrop )

Those people are awesome.

They remind me of a priest I met once, when a friend of mine was studying to get into the Catholic faith (I forget what those classes are called.) Anyway, I went with her for moral support, and one time I asked the priest what he thought of people who didn't have children, and didn't marry (because the topic at the time was about marriage and children.)

He said that he believed parenting and marriage was a calling just like the priesthood, and that just like the priesthood not everyone was called to it. It made them no lesser of people, it just meant that they were meant to do something else. He went on to say that he found it silly how society today pressures the majority of people into believing that they have to have one or both in order to lead a happy life.

I'm by no means Catholic, but if everyone in that faith thought like him I would've been very tempted to convert.

sweatdrop that is AWESOME and all... but I would keep who he is a secret. I mean religious people are supposed to support birthing. Because more babies means more followers in the future. You will find that he is a diamond in the rough.

But that is still uber cool of him.

that last sentence-" He went on to say that he found it silly how society today pressures the majority of people into believing that they have to have one or both in order to lead a happy life." I wish all people would have cross their minds at some point.

Hehe, probably a good thing I don't remember his name then. Though he was brave enough to say this in front of the class he was teaching, so.. And yeah, he is pretty rare. I haven't found many priests, or preachers for that matter, who would say the same, and I really hope that he himself doesn't give into pressure to change his mind.

I wish so too. I don't know about everyone else, but it would make my life a lot easier. And probably their's too, but I'm of the opinion that questioning everything makes one a stronger person.

I think I need to go harass some priests now... it has been a while since I had a good debate lol
