Hell, I have ex-gfs who would be happy to see me dead. I can only imagine how awful an angry ex-wife would be. Holy hell!
XACLY!
however, it's pretty pathetic to worry about 'forms'
I fk with them at every turn possible......
who really gives a shite....and it would amaze me that anyone would care outside the legalese realm (b/c that's the only reason the form is in that 'form')
as an aside.....you really have to be stupid to always fill it out based on 'their' parameters.....
you should know beforehand how to do it based on your needs and where you want it to progress moving forward if it's truly serious.....if the condition is not of a serious nature, then the minimum is just fine and dandy......
jfc.....
the premise of the thread is just tard..........

Toledo fans get their own category? Then I demand a NIU section:
Nice, smart, funny, brave, outgoing, friendly, pleasant, confident,cheerful, intelligent, gracious, kind, rich, honest, trustworthy, helpful, creative, gorgeous, bodacious.

That would be an invasion of their privacy.

It is only a matter of time before they add polyamorous undocumented twink to the list.

lol, there are some odd folks on these boards.
How DARE they!!!
UofM,
I also confused GTS with that comment. Please note my comment to GTS two posts down. My disagreement is based upon why the hell they need that information in the first place, not the specific choices given.

I honestly just don't understand how you people expend so much energy over such an objectively trivial matter. They probably added those options because some marketing firm claimed it made people feel more inclusive or it provided better demographic information for their marketing. The idea that a piece of software like this is part of some conscious social movement into dishevel is so weird.
If you think something this small is a sign of sure social collapse or deterioration, you have a terribly fragile existence.

I have a problem with anybody that requires you enter information of a personal nature that has no bearing on whatever service they provide. Especially in this day and age where it has become obvious that the personal information you give them is in no way secure.

Well that's a perfectly reasonable position, but it doesn't really have much to do with the comments on this thread nor my own comments.
