21. Yep, you nailed it. I am completely unused to people disagreeing with me.

In the nine years I have been visiting this place off and on, I have been universally agreed with at all times. Right up until YOU. YOU are the first person in my fifty years that has every persistently disagreed with me. I am not sure I can deal with it.

Tell me, has anyone ever mentioned you might just be a tad serious or maybe literal?

Look, I have a hard time remembering the names of people on here. I recognized yours from the other day when you were oh so gently trying to dissuade me from my other opinion. It just clicked for me that we had a long (it was kind of long, right?) back and forth about that and then I saw you once again gently explaining that my thought process was not the most perfectly politically correct one.

I was actually trying to kid around with you. Apparently, I failed drastically. I see your point about polygamy. Still not sure I give a shit if four or five people want to consider themselves married to each other. Obviously, I give a shit if young women/girls are being forced into what amounts to sex slavery cloaked in the guise of religion. But not all polygamous relationships would have to be that, would they?
