Discuss.

This bout of randomness brought to you by the letters M and H.

familiarity breeds contempt.

Which seems to complement absence making the heart fonder, then. Or is this an entirely new point?

How about, "Familiarity breeds contempt?" I've always liked that vs. the "absence" one.

Sorry. I'm not following the rules, here.

*points up* oops. Great minds think alike, or something. *slinks off*

Rules? What rules? The day utter randomness is governed by rules is the day I...um, spontaneously combust, or something.

Mmm, randomness.

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder" - in absence you forget all the things that annoyed and all that you fought about and just remember the good times. Bartleby says it best:

All that tension, all that anger and mistrust, forgotten for one perfect moment when they come off that plane. See those two? The guy doesn't even know that the girl cheated on him while he was away.

Loki: She did?

Bartleby: Uh-huh. Twice. But it doesn't matter at this moment because they're both so relieved to be with one another.

"Out of sight, out of mind.": The motto for those who are serial cheaters.

I judge you winner of this non-debate, because not only did you address the arguments in question, you quoted Dogma. ::nods sagely::
