@1 - Believe it or not, Mormons are big into dancing. When I was a Mormon teen, we had church dances every week or two and there were always a few kids who were pretty good break dancers.

By the same logic, men should not be allowed into the same bathrooms as boys. Maybe they are just there for "...nothing more than seeing or being seen..." Same could apply to women to. I guess it's finally time for age-segregated public restrooms.

My same-sex partner and I, who live together, have done this several times before, (both of us on one customs form.) But we were never sure if we supposed to or not. We didn't get too much hassle from the customs agents here in Seattle, they just verified that we live together - they didn't ask us to go back and fill out separate forms.

Now that I know we were breaking the rules I'm glad they're changing them.

As a gay exmormon, I have to point out how many people here are speaking from complete ignorance.

Yes, the beliefs are stupid, but please make a point to figure out what the fuck they are before making your criticisms.

Almost all of my friends in the Philippines who are lucky enough to have legit jobs work in call centers. $300 may be the starting salary, but they can definitely make more than that. They also get transportation bonuses, meal bonuses, etc. so the overall compensation package can be pretty good. Considering the low cost of living in the Philippines, one can generally provide for one's self pretty well with these jobs.

When bullying = assault, why are high school students not prosecuted. If someone randomly attacked me on the street by slamming me against a wall or punching me, I would call the police. Why are crimes, (because assault and harassment are crimes,) committed by and against students so often given immunity from legal consequence.

tl;dr When is punching someone not an assault? When it happens at a public school.

God forbid people should have a little pride and enthusiasm about their shitty job.

@4 - Mormon congregations are called "wards" and a collection of 6-10 wards is called a "stake". There is the Seattle Stake and the Seattle North Stake, and at least one in just about every suburban city around the area.
