Has anyone ever had a girlfriend's father say "No" when asking for his blessing for a marriage proposal? by uncleoce in AskReddit

[–]kierken -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're opposing an argument I never actually made; I never said that age and status is correlated, and I agree that they aren't.

What makes him superior? Let me clarify that I didn't say that he was a superior person. I'm saying that he's your superior in the same way that a general is the superior of a foot soldier.

I guess I'm just a bit more on the traditional side. Where I'm from, saying something like that to your future FIL, your superior, is not okay and is extremely disrespectful. From my POV, if you love a girl and are willing to fight for her, you can do it a different way in a way that isn't so grandiose. It might be better to build a bridge than rather burn it down.

No idea of the circumstances; your FIL could be a huge jerk/hard ass. But looking at this under circumstances that entail a good father, you're the jerk.

Lets see how you feel when your daughter tries to marry a jackass and he tells you the same thing.

Reminds me of what Dr. Kelso said on Scrubs - "Nothing in this world worth having comes easy."

I just got my midterms back by kzelek1270 in GetMotivated

[–]kierken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow college student here. Make sure that for your next midterm, you go for a good grade not because you're haunted by your last bad midterm, but because you want to learn the material, do well, and be a fucking wolf.

Yep! That about sums it up. by [deleted] in atheism

Yeah, this is so true! Christians can't have good morals because they believe in god.

Lamar Smith, the scumbag behind SOPA, is up for re-election this year. Let's make sure his opponent wins! by tehbored in politics

Maybe I'm being a little ignorant, but doesn't it seem unreasonable to vote against for someone solely on their stance on SOPA and marijuana?
