Bullshit.
Marriage is a sham, and it's just another tool of the religious right to discriminate against everyone who doesn't follow their narrow worldview.

thats a bit extreme :P I'm certainly not a right-wing extremist psychopath :) I come from a divorced home and I wish my mother and father would've remained married.
I think if you remove marriage, you will remove something that has been a great deal of good for alot of people. It seems the only logical reason people are presenting is "marriage causes divorce" and "marriage CAN [not always is] a system that is used for selfish purposes". Which is not only shaky...... it's actually pretty sad. I wonder about some of the homes people grew up in :(

Seems pretty telling that you'd wish a lifetime of misery with someone they don't love on your parents (not to mention hilarious, since you're thinking Marriage =/= Happy Childhood).

--- Quote from: Graphite on 10 Sep 2010, 03:47 ---That's not a reason I've ever heard for hair covering in Judaeo-Christian theology. The most commonly cited reasons were "modesty" - the idea that a married woman should only reveal her hair to her husband, because a woman with uncovered hair was considered erotically beautiful in a way similar to a woman who was dressed "provocatively".

this actually goes back to prebiblical mythology. in the older versions, the angels that rebelled against god did not so much 'revolt' as secede, and left heaven to go live on earth. there they taught humanity things we weren't supposed to know, such as herb-lore (which included things that would later be declared witchcraft), cosmetics & how to abort pregnancies. one of the things about these earth bound angels was that they apparently had a thing for long hair. another thing about them is that they apparently had huge massive dicks. as in cubit length, don't point that thing at me, handle of the ubmeod kind of dicks. the kind of dicks that a good and pure and decent woman would run screaming from. therefor, 'moral' women covered their hair, because to do otherwise risked attracting the attention of these angels and there huuuuuuge dicks, something only an immoral slut would want to do.
if you're interested in this stuff, check out this talk from dragoncon in 2009 the bit about the falen angels and their dicks starts around 20min.

I think people are being too harsh on Dora here.
Maybe I identify with her too much, as I also have major trust issues. I can understand why she would be uncomfortable with what happened given her past. You don't think reasonably when you would first see something like that. I mean she knows Marten is not the other guys she's been with, but at the same time she's probably been in too many situations where it was; "C'mon, it was just a harmless kiss", or "It was an accident I was drunk". After these experiences you keep telling yourself; "I'm not going to fall for that trick again". It becomes the way you think. You just expect it, so that way you're not hurt when the 'truth' comes out.
She did apologize the next day.
Everyone has issues they need to get over, we give the other characters time we should give her time as well.
I mean, look at how far Hanners has come!!
(That said I understand the issues of the others is generally more serious).

She also didn't have a Faye-type come out and ream her for what she said.
Believe it or not, I think Faye's little tirade may have actually helped in the long run. It made her realize that this situation is NOT like the others that may have preceded it, and that she has something pretty darn special going on with Marty.
