You just want to create controversy with your silly statements. Or perhaps you want to slam Catholics. These people don't spread AIDS, don't abuse our children, and are less likely to contribute to overpopulation. They don't harm anyone. So what? I am far more concerned with people who support pedophiles.

I am most certainly NOT happy to be asexual, esp. on Saturday night!

They get erections and some masturbate, although even while experiencing the physical cues of arousal there never is an impulse to do anything sexual with another person.

Hold it - they get a stiffy, but what inspires it?!? Their hand itself?

If they're turned on by their hand, are they truly asexual? Or are they, I guess, "handi-sexual"?

This whole thing gives me the creeps. I need to go through my black book and find a girl to mess around with, ASAP!

35 posts and not ONE Helen Thomas pic yet on this thread??

OK, I'll take the bait. Just the thought brings out my latent asexual tendencies.

I can't say I've ever been "asexual", however I have been celebate for a long period of time (3 years). It's good for the soul, albeit very frustrating.

Thank goodness I found my soulmate, and am no longer going without, so to speak.

Congrats -- I'm so happy for both of you. But some of that is just TMI! ;)

Uh, where were Catholics mentioned anywhere on this thread? Talk about paranoia.

What color is their flag going to be?

The logical choice would be: 50% GRAY (halfway between Black and White).


Each of the "RGB" screen colors, (Red, Green, Blue) -- as expressed in HTML -- can have an intensity value between zero (BLACK) and 255 (White).

The halfway value (50%) is 128 (or in the 'hexidecimal' notation used in HTML, "#80").

The "GRAY" I used above is "Red: 50%, Green: 50%, and Blue: 50%" or "#808080".

Fortunately, most colors can be expressed in HTML by "name". There is a nice color chart with the actual colors, their HTML "names" and their hexidecimal "values" at http://www.htmlgoodies.com/colors.htm.

Unfortunately, FR's "HTML parser" apparently does not respond to HTML code using the hexidecimal (or decimal) color values...

OTOH, "Named" colors work just fine on FR. The color used for your question (above) is "Darkcyan" -- (or "#008B8B").

The HTML code that produces the large (bold) "50% GRAY" above is

<FONT COLOR="GRAY" SIZE="+6"><B>50% GRAY</B></FONT>


(This info actually belongs in FR's "The HTML Campfire" tutorial thread on how to use HTML on FR -- so I'll post it there, also...)

(This comment falls in the category of "Ask for the time -- and get instructions for building a watch... '-)
