Try maintaining one of your otherkin asexual panromantic relationship through your respective headspaces - this should be easy as I have read about a variety of headmates visiting other headspaces.
Try maintaining it through headspaces, with no use of tumblr, msn, facebook, text messages, letters, emails, skype conversations etc. etc.
Good luck :)

Why it's racist. In one sentence.

“Every year new groups organize to demand their ‘rights.’ White people who organize and expect the same attention as other groups are quickly and viciously condemned as dangerous bigots. Hispanic, black, and Jewish caucuses can exist in the U.S. Congress, but not a white caucus, demonstrating the absurdity of this approach for achieving rights for everyone.”

Ron Paul was photographed with racist people!!!!!!
Any good candidate does a thorough backgound check on people before getting a picture taken with them. Because taking a picture with someone mean you endorse all of their views.

My problems with Ron Paul →
schlemiehlschlimazl:
Yes, this is from 2007. It still applies to today. The Left must reject Paul; he is not a source of emancipation. Libertarianism is not a source of emancipation; it forces humanity back into the Dark Ages, where life is “nasty, brutish, and short” (to quote Hobbes [who is, incidentally, far more helpful to the Left than Locke or Descartes]). Libertarian movements within...

I would definitely support Obama over Gingrich,...
None of them understand the fundamental problems our economy has. Things are going to go badly regardless of whether it’s one of them or Obama in office, and I’d rather Obama get the blame when things go from bad to worse.
The thing is, they won’t really go for a free-market approach; they’ll be trying their supply-side, right wing Keynesianism, which is doomed to failure....

I know this is probably old news to everyone, but I don’t keep up-to-date with politics like most people. This is the first I’m hearing of Ron Paul wanting to legalize ALL drugs and prostitution….. I’m sorry but WTF!? Legalizing weed I can handle but heroin and cocaine really? You really want…
I would like to point out that he’s not in favor of legalizing any of those...

Ron Paul and Tolerance →
kennethto:
I’m a big believer that actions speak louder than words. Here’s an article that relates to Ron Paul’s actions (through his legislative voting) on issues of civil liberties.
Imagine a candidate who, more than 15 years ago, fundraised and attempted to garner financial and political support from a group of people based on a letter taking a political position offensive to many U.S....

but “Privilege plus prejudice” is not, and never will be the proper definition of racism. Sociologists and social justice activists can’t arbitrarily change definitions because they’re tired of being called out on their own hypocrisy.

So much fail in only three paragraphs.
politicaltheatre:

Beyond how great a candidate throwing a temper-tantrum looks on TV and YouTube, Paul’s testy reactions tell us something vital about the man. Everything in his responses suggests a man who believes he should not be held accountable for his actions, as though whatever apology he offered fifteen years ago absolved him of ever having to address it ever again. What...

A Congressman was campaigning halfway across the country and wasn’t present to vote against the Defense Bill, and people rail against him. A President who not only was present in DC, but had the power to veto, made the decision not to veto it, and people still defend him.

Hypothetical Question
Ron Paul is not racist.
But, imagine this scenario: You get to choose between two candidates for president.
Candidate A is not racist is any way, but thinks the government can take away your right to privacy, freedom of speech, habeus corpus, etc whenever it feels like.
Candidate B is racist, but he keeps his opinions mostly to himself and would never ever put those opinions into law. He...

Understanding unemployment: Keynesian vs. Marxian...
intrepidreport:
By Ismael Hossein-zadeh
To borrow a metaphor from the medical sciences, an effective cure requires a sound diagnosis. Yet, in the face of the current plague of unemployment, the Keynesian economists issue all kinds of passionate prescriptions to remedy the problem of joblessness without paying necessary attention to its root causes.

My problem with the economic policies of Bachmann,...
I have no doubt that taxes and regulations hurt us a lot, and that reducing them would make everything run better.
The problem is that out current problems aren’t caused by EPA regulations, they’re caused by the Federal Reserve. As long as we have a central bank, the economy will not be stable.
Cutting taxes during a recession is like re-balancing your tires after your fuel pump...
