I think j_menz experienced something. It's probably not something you're familiar with; it's a wacky thing called real life being more important than an internet forum.

He almost certainly had breaks in that time. It's also possible he had a family emergency or something or some other incident which made him unable to chat with us here.

PS is on the verge of near ruins with the loss of j_menz; he championed the cause of lesser-known music, without reenacting the ideals of communism (unlike two of his three heirs.)

We should try our best not to lose ronde_des_sylphes. We are very fortunate to have him, but he knows his priorities well and does not post much unless it is useful (unlike j_menz's other 2 successors...)

I've actually done a lot of digging into this

So j menz and ajspiano were the same person right?  Ajs got married.

And they both slowly started to fade away from the forums.

Ajspiano got married and they both vanished at the same time.

Since they're the same person, j menz got married and is enjoying married life right now so he doesn't have time for the forums.

...this mindset is why the divorce rate is so high...

That made zero sense.

When someone gets married, there's two options on how things go.  Everything stays the same, or everything gets worse.  Or everything gets better (I guess).  So three options.  That's not a mindset, that's FACT.  Replace marriage with anything else in life like...  College or getting a new job.  There's only three options on how your life could go.  Better, worse, or the same.

Divorce rates are high cause people marry with incomplete information.  PERIOD.  They marry too young (prematurely), or they think they truly know their partner but didn't know that the other was a psycho b*tch and they don't know how to settle
Problems, or they lack preparation for post marriage life, or they realized after they're married that they don't wanna stop *** other people and don't wanna be committed to one person so they cheat, didn't know the other one was abusive, etc...

All marriages end badly. 

Well, almost all.

Either you fall out of love, which is horrible, or you stay in love until one of you dies and the loss is horrible to the survivor.  There are no good outcomes.

Unless you stay in love and are both killed exactly simultaneously.  I guess that could happen.  Rare though.

Same sex marriage isn't intended as a solution to hetero marriage failures, it's intended as actually treating gay people EQUALLY to their straight counterparts.

Noah, please.
You responded to a post pointing out that your anti-gay remark was wrongly placed, and that gay marriage is a matter of equality.... by equating that to condoning pedophilia.
Please, do remind me, how many times has this happened before? How many times, in states which allow trans individuals (most of whom you don't even know are trans after operations like surgery and testosterone shots), have people cross-dressed as another gender to get into the bathroom for a potential glimpse at panties or something?
Do get back to me on that.
Furthermore, if you're for banning transgender bathrooms because some people might abuse those rights and harm our children, then why aren't you rallying against the ridiculous lack of gun laws in this country? Guns kill over 30,000 people EVERY YEAR, and yet I've heard NOTHING from you. I thought laws don't stop criminals from committing crimes, why are transgender bathrooms the exception?
None of these things are about giving minorities special rights. What they're about is EQUALITY.
Special rights would be things like, say, gay or trans people not having to pay taxes.
Quite like how churches don't.

XD...
trans pedophiles preying on little girls is a valid concern...
just like pedophile men might prey on little boys is also a valid concern..
just like pedophile women (WHAT WOMEN ALSO RAPE?!?!?!?) might prey on little girls too...

Why not ban little boys and girls from using public bathrooms altogether? Then you wont have to worry from all the potential rape they might get in public bathrooms. :D Oh wait, unless you only apply this concern when trans males and little girls are involved...? :o :o

Not only is the"OH NO NOW THE MEN WILL PEEP AND RAPE US IN BATHROOM" crap stupid, but it demonstrates how openly sexist the general public is towards males. :D

Why not? I think you definitely should move to Europe when advancing in your piano education. Maybe you should actually come here...The weather won't be that different to what you are used to and I think you will find it quite amazing how even deeply religious people seem to live quite comfortably in our government controlled socialist environment where people of all ages and sexes regularly go to the sauna NAKED TOGETHER :)

I actually want to go to Europe too, like seriously. If I ever muster up the courage to go for a graduate degree then I'm doing it in Europe. Enough of America.

But then again with the recent growth in the far-right, some European countries are beginning to show just how much in common they have with Americans...

Honestly, I think people there prefer to put up with a way right government for a tenure than risking being torn to pieces by jihadist bombs. I realize relation between the first and the latter does not seem too obvious at first but its actually (sadly) only way right fractions who have some common sense to say no to what that crazy woman Merkel has started.

Eh, I wasn't referring to that. I already made a thread about this, so you know how I feel about the migrant crisis, but yeah, it seems to me that only the far right is addressing the problematic immigration policies. ...but I also noticed the overall rhetoric is shifting to the more crazy nationalistic attitude.

He probably wasn't serious.

And I talk casually about it ALL THE TIME.  Isn't that your biggest fear?

I personally don't think it's a big deal so I don't have a problem talking about it.  Well...  Even if it was a big deal, I would still talk about it.  I think anything is fair game.  And for jokes too.

It's not like that really. Most people are still ok with the situation except for the financial problems that the latest immigration causes. But we'll deal with it. Soldiers of Odin are bored young men who think it will make them important to "patrol the streets". They would normally go around kicking windows. Low educated, unemployed and often with a criminal record. Most people are more worried about them than any immigrants.

In my country the right wing government gained it's popularity by claiming to bring good for everyone. Now that their cover has been blown they are more unpopular than ever. If we had an election now, we'd have a nice green - left government ;)
