Yes, there is. There's a reason the thing never spread beyond Africa; it's got a really short lifespan and kills quickly - if infection is contained the outbreak will soon die out. Here, on the other hand, we are encouraged to call our local doctor to find out what to do... but the local doctor can't answer the phone because everybody calls him. The government shoulda set up a hotline, taken care of vaccination through extraordinary measures rather than relying on the existing system, and made sure panic-spreaders shut their yappers. In fact, when I come to power I'm gonna make that last one a rule, 'cause it's just better. :)

Playing with Ubuntu Studio 64 9.10 KK, so far, impression is good.Software gallore, nothing deadly broken. Apart from that it s having xp-oid feel. (Not sure if that is good for Linux, certainly not for me, customizing system as I m typing. ;) )

Or just make a website... less overhead with employees that way.

It's the one who is in a relationship that has to behave. For your part, it depends on your relationship with her boyfriend (stranger = ok, buddy = not ok).

Unless you don't like him...

Not much of a buddy then, is he.

Let me demonstrate the lack of logic with a similar sentence: you would be clever if you weren't so obtuse.

Its was a buddy, not anymore. It's more the guy you be friendly to because you have to. I don't think I'm a bad guy now, I mean come on, it's a relationship of nothing!

Basically, if it's a secret, it's wrong. If everyone involved knows what is going on and is cool with it, that's fine. It's called "Dating around" or "Casual dating" or even "Polyamorous" if it's more serious. None of these are 'Wrong' if everyone agrees to it.

Doesn't have to be wrong just because it's secret, as there can be many reasons for keeping things secret. Of course, a feeling of doing something wrong IS one of those reasons, but IMO the feeling of wrong comes before the need for secrecy in such a case.

Well it is a secret. Nobody but us know about it. So in that part it's pretty wrong. But if people would find out about it, the crapper is going overtime I guess..
