But if I chose to be gay, I know then that you know, and remember, when you chose to be heterosexual.
And I remember in my early years knowing about my same-sex attraction to others but I did not even know there was a name for it.
And I remember during my early education years, hearing, year-after-year, teachers and others talking endlessly about their opposite-sex marriages.
And reading books, seeing movies, with plots about opposite-sex couplings all the time.
And, horrors! -- As a child, I even saw pictures of opposite-sex couplings!
And, yet, after all that, I'm still gay.
So, let's try simply enjoying our "choices," I guess. less
In case you need a reminder here's how it went. There are other longer, more detailed documentaries as well as numerous welll-sourced articles, if you need more.

Wonders will never cease, even if it's the T20 which is about short term entertainment with a lot of the strategy taken out of it.Even more amazingly, the USA BEAT Pakistan - a full ICC member where cricket is the national sport. If USA beats Ireland (or the game is rained out), they go through to the next stage (Super 8) and may even play Australia for the first time ever.

And Trump reportedly refereed to those buried there as losers and suckers. So I’m pretty sure Trump will have something ignorant to say about it. Cheers!

Conducted by a city probation officer these brief interviews are then memorialized in a "pre-sentencing report that both sides and the judge see shortly before the sentencing. Pre-sentencing reports include input from prosecutors and make a recommendation to the judge for what punishment including jail, probation, fines, and community service would be appropriate. He'd also be asked if he has any health, substance abuse, or domestic violence issues and whether he owns a firearm. During the rest of the interview, Trump would be offered the chance to speak about his conviction and make a plea for leniency. It's perfectly fine to say the matter is on appeal, and I maintain my innocence. What's not fine is to say the judge is corrupt and the jury is corrupt or anything about the witnesses.If he does submit to a pre-sentencing interview in the nex... less

During his answer, Trump said he had decided that imprisoning Clinton would have been a terrible thing. Then he added: “I didn’t say - lock her up” but the people would all say - lock her up, lock her up. Cheers!

Expression of Individuality: Some individuals intentionally act in ways that set them apart from societal norms to express their uniqueness or reject conformity.
Attention-Seeking: Bizarre behavior can attract attention, and for some, this attention is desirable, whether positive or negative.
Psychological Factors: Mental health conditions or neurological differences can also lead to behaviors that others perceive as bizarre.
Cultural Differences: Behaviors that are normal in one culture might seem strange in another. less

Our brains evolved to help us solve problems to enhance survival, but they also create suffering by dwelling on the negative. When we can determine whether our suffering is unnecessary or exaggerated, we can take steps to reduce it. Really!? All of us!? Really! At all of us!?

Mario Bellissimo says that makes him "criminally inadmissible, and he can't apply to change that until five years after he serves his sentence. However, if Trump is elected United States president in the meantime, exemptions could be made. But he would have to show the Immigration Department, or the federal minister, that he had a compelling reason to be in Canada and that he wouldn't commit more crimes on this side of the border. Cheers! less
