I think that it creates an academic challenge to develop better cognition of what you ask. They have lightened up a bit, and frankly, the quality of questions has suffered. I have to admit that I like the challenge to be more succinct and accurate in my answers. Clarity of language is a learned skill. Anyhow, welcome to Fluther!

You do know I’m just funning with that question, don’t you? I’ve never been moderated. I want to see what it’s like. It’s deliberately a badly constructed question, although I did correct my punctuation and capitalization. Twice.

  Do our genes have a major influence on who we fall in love with?

  @mattbrowne I agree. Kenny is very physically strong, very emotionally stable and has intelligence in areas I lack. We fill in each others gaps very nicely.

  Help with finding a book?

  Can you remember anything else? The time in which it was set, remarks about clothing or autos or anything that might help me place it in a particular decade? After some extensive searching, I’m coming up empty handed.

  What limits are there to free speech?

  Each society crafts its own rules and regulations. And each member of said society has the right to follow or ignore such rules. It is a choice we all make every day. For some, the shock value of inflammatory statements is what it’s all about. For others, cuss words are used more to make a point than to start a fight. I know people that can’t seem to get through a single conversation without swearing. I also know folks who swear so rarely that I’m shocked when I hear it. I think that I should be allowed to say whatever I want as long as my words don’t cause pain. Granted, there are some situations when that is necessary, such as when you break up with someone or when you have to inform a person that a loved one has died, but I think we all know what I’m talking about here. I’ll end this with a quote wrongly attributed to Voltaire but written by Evelyn Beatrice Hall, writing under the pseudonym of Stephen G Tallentyre in “The Friends of Voltaire”: “I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it!”

  Do our genes have a major influence on who we fall in love with?

  I think that it’s more environment than anything else. Genetically we are programmed to search for the most suitable mate, but we rebel against that and choose a love based on other criteria. If it was strictly genetic, I think all women would be attracted to the strongest hunter-gatherer types and all men would be searching for a woman with ample hips to ensure easy childbirth. Instead, there are folks who worry about nothing more than arm candy or money.
