Brian, in all my exerience as a american speaking english, "boyfriend"
and "girlfirend" have the connotation of being intimate, usually sexual,

Delaney, you have a tendency to use rhetoric in the place of reason,
sweeping generalizations in place of detail, and cheap personal shots as
it pleases you. You have some odd obsession with circumcision and

utterly unwilling to read any more of your postings.
