If you are asked for documentation GIVE IT or stop arguing and get out of the thread. A bunch of posters better clean it up super fast or hit the cyber road.
Oh, was there a dearth of documentation?
I rather thought it was the actual documentation that caused the thread closure.
Now, I'm confused. Is it the lack of documentation or the existence of documentation that is the problem?

What's the issue Orpheus is referring to regarding documentation?

But the problem is that I received positive reinforcement since it was actually something interesting this time, versus just someone willing to ruin their life for money.
I do think this particular LDS girl was strange. Come on! She admits to sexual fantasies about her girlfriend, defends it as normal, and admits she'd pose nude for a magazine... but leave her husband if he left the church!?!?!? He had such a stricken look on his face it made me wonder if he's had "issues" with the church anyway.
The only time I watched it I could see the spouse getting upset and I had to turn it off. It was upsetting to me. I don't understand why people would hurt people they supposedly love on national t.v.! It bothered me immensely. I hate our culture sometimes.
Yet, I understand why others watch. You know my empathy meter is out of whack. ;)

Huh???
The gospel writers wrote that Jesus said that if a lady committs adultery then a guy can divorce her but if it is not for adultery then if he remarrys then he committs adultery. He said that if a woman divorces for any reason and was to remarrry she committs adultery. It's totally tipped toward the male.

Oh yeah - and that totally should have read "Moniker". I'm multi-tasking and I let a spelling correction go through that shouldn't have (which means I screwed up Moniker in the first place, but I can admit that).

I think we should just stone 'em.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

The whole show is a total farce. I don't want to use the term morally bankrupt, but damn this show is very near it. Here's a short blog entry I did concerning the show (includes a videoclip of this woman destroying her marriage before the eyes of America).
