My husband and I almost split up a year after we got married and it was the second-most painful experience of my life without there being a peep of it on ZLMB or MADB. If his marriage really is in trouble, leave the poor guy alone.
I agree, but unfortunately that's one of the "blessings" of a free speech message board. Kevin isn't the first to have innuendo and mind-reading flung at him.
Yeah, it has been a while since we talked, and I regret the falling out we had back in 2003. But if given the chance I would do it all over again because it help lead me to where I am today.
This thread is getting off on so many dumb tangents, but I just wanted to illustrate why Tradd's fantasy about my life is out of whack. I didn't come back to the USA because my wife dumped me. This is something he predicted a long time ago, and he doesn't like to see himself proved wrong. I just can't believe this guy has the audacity to insult everyone's intelligence by saying he hasn't thought of me in years, when he has clearly been doing a lot of googling lately. He's aware of more google links about me than I am. The EDN directory for my school's website wasn't advertised to anyone except my students, so how could he have known to look for that? I couldn't even find it unless I searched specifically for kevingraham -EDN. So how did he come across it? Not by accident. He must have really been digging through google's cache to find whatever he could use as ammunition.
Oh, and thanks for remembering the scar. :) That's usually something only shorter people notice when I am clean shaven. And I'm 6'3" but I think you were in heels that night.
As to how it happened, I fell off a 20 ft highway drop off head first when I was nine, broke both my wrists when I tried to catch myself, and cracked open my chin on the concrete resulting in 18 stitches. It was a miracle I lived.
Oh, and my bike fell on top of me. Ring any bells?

Oh, and yes, I'm very bigoted toward Islamists. Something about Sharia law... I don't know... Just rubs me the wrong way. I suppose it's the lack of womens' rights, or that under Sharia non-believers have four options which are:
1) Submit, and become a Muslim.
2) Be murdered.
3) Pay jizyah in order to live as a second-class citizen under Sharia.
4) Become a slave.
Oh, maybe it's because under Quranic doctrine Islamists think everyone who isn't a Muslim is guilty and worthy of the above four fates.
Oh, maybe it's because Muslims killed 40 million Hindus.
Oh, maybe it's because Islamists have waged over 12,000 incidents of kinetic jihad since 9/11 killing over 100,000 Muslims and non-Muslims across the world. Something about "harboring hate in your heart for the infidel" just... Rubs me the wrong way about that religion.
Oh, maybe it's 150 Islamist neworks set up across this country either planning individual and group jihad attacks as prescribed by Quranic warfare doctrine, or raising money and sending it overseas to violent Islamic thugocracies just following the guidance set for under Sharia.
Oh, maybe it's because an old Muslim man was hacked to death last week in Africa for *gasp* saying the prophet Muhammed was full of crap.
I dunno... Maybe... Maybe it's just me... But when comparing MMM to, oh, say, ANY GIVEN DAY UNDER ISLAM, Mormonism comes out smelling like freaking roses.
Oh, maybe it's because the founder liked having sex with a nine year old girl...
