Depends on what you understand by know well. It could be anywhere from 5-50 if you include acquaintances or friends of other friends. Mostly from my stay in the UK. I've gone to clubs there, for example for a friend's birthday, and I've seen what some of them can be up to (thankfully not on myself, though one did try).How many American or western women do you know well? — Baden
Because from what I've observed, some of them are easily convinced to have sex with a random guy! Now if that random guy was also a celebrity, why would they suddenly back off?What's their background and what leads you to believe they could be so easily convinced into having sex with a celebrity on first meeting? — Baden
Yes, but why is sexual satisfaction such a scarce commodity? Isn't it precisely because it's not really possible to achieve sexual satisfaction through promiscuity — Agustino
The Romans had a phrase. To rule over the plebs, give them bread and circuses — Agustino
If we did an experiment, and Brad Pitt walked up — Agustino
Have you considered changing banks? You can utilise the DJSI and other sustainability indices to inform you and then to change banks and spend your money with different companies.

So in the US that would be Bank of America or Citigroup (bronze group). You can also go with ABN AMRO but not sure if they offer retail banking in the US. — Benkei
Why do you take my position to be extreme? At the very least it is the position that is almost unanimously shared by the 5 main world religions - Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and Hinduism. Mainly that all sex outside of marriage (or a committed relationship, which in my view one should only start with the purpose of getting married, and anyway, marriage is a spiritual event, and doesn't require a church ceremony) is immoral.Agu's somewhat extreme position — Erik
But that's not my position. My position is no sex outside of marriage. And by marriage I don't mean what happens after a religious or public ceremony which officiates the relationship between two people. By marriage, I mean a committed relationship, in which the two people intend to live together until the end of their days. That can occur way before any actual marriage ceremony.Maintaining one's virginity until marriage, while extremely commendable, is just not something that seems practical for most people today. — Erik
Hmmm, you're still misunderstanding my view a bit I think.say your "marriage" unravels and you separate from your "wife" - would you tell future girlfriends that you were previously married but are now divorced? — Erik
No, so as not to cause confusion. The point that matters is that I think that a breakup affects one spiritually as much as a divorce.would you tell future girlfriends that you were previously married but are now divorced? — Erik
McCarthyism lives again. “Russi, Russia, Russia”. — raza
Hmm, then it seems as though you're using the term "marriage" in a highly idiosyncratic sense, one which is far removed from common usage. — Erik
The comparable difference between the two examples is that the current day "McCarthyists" are not of the elected administration.Totally incomparable. McCarthyism had Truman sign into law screening of civil servants for loyalty and led to a stifling of freedom of speech of US citizens and had McCarthy pursue the whole unamerican nonsense — Benkei
