Hell, I'm willing. Nerve sold out, so why not the People's dating?

(Warning, tangent): I'm friends with the woman who used to manage Nerve personals. It had more to do with her personals company getting bought out by some douchebags than any selling-out on Nerve's part, as I understand it.

On topic: Anton Mercer (click the "What is Random Dating?" link) is evidently a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers villain.

In other words, WTF?

I'll help Satan himself if I could get a date who wasn't psycho or otherwise crazy and puts out.

tellurian; That link was creepy. They *like* diversity, but note that those six happy Christians are paired off by ethnicity? " What God has joined together, let the church hold together. " indeed!

Oh! It's the remnants of a joke.

The linked (non-Christian) site is hilarious, especially if you look at their bios and the histories linking their movement to the development of the CIA (on the USETAD tab). Check out the profile of the guy:

So you want to date Caligula?
Bio:
Caligula, the first of 38 children, was born into abject poverty. Using gumption and street smarts he successfully posed as a Vietnam Veteran by the age of 14, thus securing an income from the Government. At 18 he left school to embark on a profitabe career as a mercenary overseas. Fighting in various locales for four years, he aquired a philosphical understanding of the nature and need for violent struggle [...]

Caligula cofounded the HotDateNight Group with Viktoryah, seeking the violent overthrow of the fascist dating establishment as the first step toward world anti-capitalist revolution.

Caligula currently resides in Toronto, Ontario, and divides the world into "Rats" and "Horses". Rats being everything bad, and Horses being everything good.

I assume this site is a joke, but I must confess to believing in "affirmative action in dating," which just means that if your on-the-pull you should give people of a diffrent race like 20 second more time once once you start losing interest in them. Not exactly a big commitment, but I know tons of people (male and female) who are quite racist in their dating habits.

Hey dumbass, wrong thread! And, incidentally way to make an ass out of yourself after just making fun of someone in the previous comment!

If you're not dating according to Imperialo-Caplitalist standards you're dating with Hitler.
