This is a question Beautiful Moments, Part Two

Last week I saw a helium balloon cross the road at the lights on a perfectly timed gust of wind. Today I saw four people trying to get into a GWiz electric car. They failed.

What's the best thing you've seen recently?

Speaking as a woman, I'd hate that.
I'm my own person; I belong only to me. I am the only one from whom permission may be granted.

it's not like you are actually asking the dad and that the woman has no choice
it's more asking permission to ask her.

Final decision rests with the woman, but you get the ok from her parents first.

What if they didn't give you permission to ask her though?

if I thought they would have said no then I wouldn't have asked them
as I said earlier, it was a gesture, rather than actually asking permission.

yeah it's more of a blessing rather than permission

meh
personally it'd annoy me. Keeping archaic behaviour, just for the sake of it is a bit pointless. And this is coming from a history student

you're just contrary though.
the reaction of her parents made it totally worthwhile.

I'm not contrary!*
But how come it's 'ask the father' if you're doing it as a gesture of good faith, then at least ask both father and mother.

*May be a bit contrary

No-one needs permission to ask me a question; that's just a waste of time.
And what gives someone who is not me the authority to say that someone can ask me something? I'm the only one who can say that.

once again
it's a gesture, nothing more. it made people feel good and happy. there is no hidden meaning. None of us think we own anyone.

I own you
get back in the kitchen wench

yes mistress

I suppose if it works for you and yours, good for you.
But that would make me very angry.
(I helped save b3ta! Bob Todd whee, Tue 10 Aug 2010, 11:02, closed)
then you get angry over things that aren't worth getting angry over
