Couple Bonding Through PC Building
mikemuch writes "When his lovely girlfriend Glenda needed a new PC, Jason Cross, who spends much of the week assembling PCs with the latest gear to test for ExtremeTech, decided he would let her build it herself. She gave him her list of needs, he came up with a part list, and then watched as she did all the screwdriver wielding herself. Despite a DOA hard drive and some mis-connected wires, everyone was smiling when it was all finished. (Slide show here.)"
Are you against marriage due to your anti-religious beliefs?
Or are you afraid of commitment?
This post has me all but convinced that you're using religion as an excuse to cop out of making a commitment. You basically say that there's no point committing to your (significant other) because your biological makeup is going to lead you to...well, you said it yourself:
And if anyone is entering marriage feeling like they've got a gun to their head 'forcing' them not to do any of the above...well, they shouldn't be getting married. However, if you're committed to your s/o, truly committed, you will very likely WANT, IE: CHOOSE a monogamous relationship with your s/o, and might even back that up by, well, getting married!
I know, very strange isn't it?
Anyways, you come off as very altruistic, but something stinks in Denmark, if you know what I mean.
No Comment.
You can be Jewish by faith if you want to be, but most Israelis are Israelis because
a) they were born there, of all faiths and none, but if they're also Jewish "by faith", they're probably born into a Jewish family.
b) they're Jewish enough by blood for the Israeli authorities.
c) they're willing to wait about 5 years waiting to become an Israeli without the fast-track process.
Speaking as the partner of a Jewish (by blood) atheist, I think Jewish (by blood) people are much cooler and relaxed than Jewish (by faith rather than blood) people. It's because it's only rabbis and Nazis that care about Jewish lineage. Rabbis want to pump the Jewish population stats up without "the silent holocaust" of assimilation (which, btw, you seem to be committing here). Nazis are freaks who believe too much conspiracy shit.
If you're born Jewish, you don't have to care at all about Judaism, and you can shit all over it if you like; unlike the poor goyim trying to convert to being Jews! They have to believe all that religious bullshit, and convince sharp-eyed rabbis that they believe it.
