How on earth does one have a "good sex life" with a person one is not sexually attracted to? Or rather, how can one convince themselves of this and not see that one of the two statements must be untrue? This is what fascinates me most about these kinds of letters...

@8 I think Capri in Hyde Park makes a decent thin crust.

"Ask any senior Israeli official involved in national security, and he will tell you that the strategic relationship between the United States and Israel has never been stronger than under President Obama."

This is pretty much the last thing I would have expected to turn up on SLOG. I mean, the video has been a joke for some time in Germany now, but apparently, it's gone international...wow.

I was a bit surprised the answer did not include one word about the not-insignificant risk of him contracting various STDs, putting the LW at risk as well. Many people seem to think that since you can hardly contract HIV through oral sex (it's possible, but chances are very small), it is generally safe, but that's not true - Syphilis, Gonorrhea and others can all be transmitted this way.

What is the legal status of the film these days? Does anyone know? I remember it was forced out of regular circulation because Karen's brother, being unhappy with his portrayal in the movie, didn't authorize the use of Carpenters' songs for it.
Oh, and it's a wonderful movie; if you've never seen it before, do it.

Ah, dang it, didn't mark the quote properly...I hope it becomes clear what I mean.

We harness the millennial generation—the people who are now between the ages of 18-30. Those 76 million people are larger than the baby boomers and by 2020 they’ll be the largest part of the voting population. 76 Million? That doesn't sound right. Or maybe she includes those who are not yet 18 but will be in 2020, in which case it could work.

Brunobär commented on The God Defense.

Should the court actually buy into this, the fallout could be interesting. In the trial following the death of Anneliese Michel in Germany in the 70s, the case on which "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" is loosely based on, the court in its verdict essentially said that belief in the personal existence of the devil justifies a more lenient sentence, as it verges on insanity. Needless to say, people in the church were pissed, even though this let the priest get away with probation....
