In a lot of my past relationships, my rigid thinking has been one of my biggest problems. I can see now that even though I've been with some legitimately bad people, I am very, very intolerant of things that most people would consider minor problems: lateness, what I see as someone changing their story, which makes me guarded and suspicious enough to dump them, etc. I also can see that literal thinking makes me extra prone to problems in relationships. Does anyone else have this problem? Share ... discuss... I'd like this thread to steer away from "why can't I get a date" territory, and focus more on problems people have had KEEPING a relationship. There are already lots of "why won't people date me" threads, thanks. _________________ "Look at you lot, all so vacant. Is it nice not being me?

I remember once getting enraged with a boyfriend because he said I was "the most beautiful woman in the world." I looked at him and said that he was wrong. He insisted I was, trying to be all sweet. I then got into a huge argument with him about how even to a biased point of view, there are many, many, many women much more beautiful than I am, so that's an unrealistic compliment and I don't find it believable or flattering. Yeahhhhh. I know. I had to have him explain that he just meant to say that he thought I was beautiful. I said "oh, why didn't you just say that then? That would have been nice." That's more an example of how I got caught up in literal thinking, but at least I can look back and laugh now. _________________ "Look at you lot, all so vacant. Is it nice not being me?

German minister seeks answers from UK over spying 'catastrophe'

By Michael Nienaber

BERLIN (Reuters) - Britain's European partners will seek urgent clarification from London about whether a British spy agency has tapped international telephone and Internet traffic on a massive scale, Germany's justice minister said on Saturday.

Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger said a report in Britain's Guardian newspaper read like the plot of a horror film and, if confirmed as true, would be a "catastrophe".

In its latest article based on information from Edward Snowden, a former contractor for the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), the Guardian reported a project codenamed "Tempora" under which Britain's eavesdropping agency can tap into and store huge volumes of data from fiber-optic cables.

Tempora has been running for about 18 months and allows the Government Communications Headquarters agency (GCHQ) to access the data and keep it for 30 days, the paper said, adding that much information was shared with the NSA.

"If these accusations are correct, this would be a catastrophe," Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger said in a statement emailed to Reuters.

"The accusations against Great Britain sound like a Hollywood nightmare. The European institutions should seek straight away to clarify the situation."

With a few months to go before federal elections, the minister's comments are likely to please Germans who are highly sensitive to government monitoring, having lived through the Stasi secret police in communist East Germany and with lingering memories of the Gestapo under the Nazis.

"The accusations make it sound as if George Orwell's surveillance society has become reality in Great Britain," the parliamentary floor leader of the opposition Social Democrats, Thomas Oppermann, was quoted as saying in a newspaper.

Orwell's novel "1984" envisioned a futuristic security state where "Big Brother" spied on the intimate details of people's lives.

"This is unbearable," Oppermann told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung. "The government must clarify these accusations and act against a total surveillance of German citizens."

Earlier this month, in response to questions about the secret U.S. data-monitoring program Prism, also exposed by Snowden, British Foreign Secretary William Hague told parliament that GCHQ always adhered to British law when processing data gained from eavesdropping.

He would not confirm or deny any details of UK-U.S. intelligence sharing, saying that to do so could help Britain's enemies.

News of Prism outraged Germans, with one politician likening U.S. tactics to those of the Stasi, and the issue overshadowed a visit by U.S. President Barack Obama to Berlin last week.

LA monument to honor slain El Salvador archbishop

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Los Angeles' Salvadoran community on Saturday celebrated the groundbreaking of a plaza honoring a Catholic archbishop who was slain in 1980 during El Salvador's bloody 12-year civil war.

The $350,000 monument in MacArthur Park to Msgr. Oscar A Romero, who was beloved for his advocacy for the poor, will feature a statue of him and his quotes. It is expected to be completed in three months, the Los Angeles Times reported (http://lat.ms/12gKvRM).

"MacArthur Park has a lot of history and a lot of memories for the Central American community," Carlos Vaquerano told the Times.

Vaquerano is the executive director of the Salvadoran American Leadership & Educational Fund, a nonprofit organization that has been overseeing the project, which was first envisioned about seven years ago.

Many of the war's refugees fled to the United States, and some settled in Los Angeles' Westlake and Pico-Union neighborhoods. The area hosted protests against the civil war and has become home to one of the largest concentrations of Central Americans in the United States.

Mayor-elect Eric Garcetti said the monument will show the city's support for Romero's principles.

"This is more than a monument of a man," he said in a statement. "This is a monument that salutes courage, humanitarianism and the rights of the poor."
