I don't know if that saint was trying to be "cool" or flippant about the subject. Wink

What I mean is, that one can love one's true (same sex) friends, no? Love is not just confined to the realm of sexuality, is it? Confused
 
Don't  mothers (or fathers, one would hope) love their children? Isn't parental/familial love one of the most important forms of love?
 
I think many here -- yourself included-- are being very "cool" and flippant about the subject. That's fine, but I'm trying to be sincere. Smile

I hardly think the two are mutually exclusive.
 
I don't know your age, but it's very easy to be cynical about love --and life in general -- when young. (I know, because I wasn't always middle-aged.)
 
Did/does your mother love you? Was that "cheap?" Stern Smile

Your CDs have been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with
sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.

A team of 50 employees inspected your CDs and polished them to make
sure they were in the best possible condition before mailing.

Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over
the crowd as he put your CDs into the finest gold-lined box that money
can buy.

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party
marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of
Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in
our private CD Baby jet on this day, Sunday, April 6th.

I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby.  We sure did.
Your picture is on our wall as "Customer of the Year."  We're all
exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sigh...

Love Is

the last Eric Burdon and the Animals album, which coincidentally contained a version of "To Love Somebody".
 
You don't know what it's like,

Thanks nature for those cliches then... How awful life would be if we would have to rationalize everything...

I speak from experience -- that form of love is beautiful, uplifting, immensely moving, life-affirming, etc, etc!

Likely the poll targets the love of man & woman, boyfriend & girlfriend, etc, but as I've indicated, love does not need to have a sexual dimension. 
 
Deep friendship can be a manifestation of love too. One can even love one's pet.

reason has to bow, if love demands it."
 
I believe we all want love, and we all need it (unless one is psychopathic).
 
Shocked Did you know that scientists have found that the child who is deprived of hugs (as a demonstration of parental love) will be stunted in growth? What does that tell you?

Unless that's a reference to the scoring system (no pun intended), I assume that's a direct translation of a line from some obscure Kobaian love song; in which case, I think it lost something in the translation - I believe the true translation states "Love means nothing when your hovercraft is full of eels"

Don't agree with the sentiment, but bloody funny post, nonetheless
