On the news here they said that at Democratic conventions they had buses organised to take people to places they could vote in advance. Not so much giving incentives to vote as removing disincentives. Still, anyone who can be bothered to go to a convention will probably be bothered to vote as well.

It would be fairly easy to coerce prisoners' votes, but surely quite illegal.

Hospitals and fire stations will probably already have people who are trained to deal with distressed or injured children. Most states seem to restrict this kind of thing to babies, and that makes more sense to me. It's a different thing to abandon a child when a relationship exists, even if it's a ...

I don't know you or anything, but it sounds like you know what you want to do. I'm not seeing the reasons why you don't just do that. Studying engineering isn't like selling the family home to move to Fiji to collect sea urchins. It's a pretty respectable profession.

Without knowing who the memo is from, or to, it's hard to draw any conclusions about it. One author being flippant doesn''t show the entire administration is incompetent.

That was very cool Elf. Hey Elf, as an aside, have you heard of "Gavala Aboriginal Art Centre" in Sydney? And do you know of any other Aboriginal owned and operated stores in the area which I could purchase things from? Here's one: http://www.warlu.com/ Though not a Sydney site, if that i...

I haven't had a job for a long time, but when I did, and when I look at jobs now, I can't get any motivation to do them unless I think they are somehow worthwhile. When I think about my life in the big picture, it's not meaningful, but I can do small things that have meaning for me, and affect peopl...

I am not married to my partner, though we have been together for 14 years, and have two children. I never wanted to make that promise to always love someone. Most people here tend to get married, especially when they have kids, so I was prepared to be defiant about it. It has never been an issue, th...

I don't think that everyone who posts to Livejournal has the atitude that it's a public space, and it's open slather on anything they say. Some people might want to communicate with friends, and maybe not all their friends have LJs, or don't always log in. Or the primary audience is their friends, b...

Love those graphics. Oh crap, it's a capital U! Play them all night, then dream letters running around. My favourite was Ragnarok, though it is a step up, graphics wise. ADOM was good too.

Could be what I think of as 'backlash'. Basically, if you are coming down off an emotional high, especially if you are also tired (and I don't if any alcohol was involved, but if there was it can exacerbate it), your judgement isn't at its most reliable - so hold off on the decisons as to what sucke...

How many people here have had some sort of sexual encounter with a person of the same sex but still consider themselves to be neither gay/lesbian or bi? Yeah, that's me. A friend of mine has a theory that there must be some degree of sexual attraction to anyone you actually like. So we tested that ...

I know we've have a few threads on the topic, but I'm curious how the women of BD view the porn industry. Do you enjoy pornography? Are you offended by it? Does it make you feel bad about yourself if your significant other is into it? My mother is absolutely offended by the sexual objectification o...

I was all outraged by the thread, but when I read the article it's not so bad. Cookie Monster still eats cookies, just not all the time, and there will be a whole bunch of other healthy lifestyle indoctrinating going on as well. The character that really shits me as a role-model is Ernie. He is down...

Even after chemical castration, the community won't want a "convicted child molester" in their town. Can't blame them. I wouldn't want one near my kids either (not that I have kids, but you know, we're talking hypotheticals here). But there probably is one around, anyway. If a kid can't d...

Acting to change history should be the same as acting now. So if you are comfortable with the idea of shooting an aggressive military dictator, then it may as well be Hitler. You don't know how it will turn out, but you don't know how anything you do will turn out, so what's the difference? If I cou...

A lot of people seem to have made up their minds that kids will make trouble, and it doesn't mattter if your kid is behaving or not, they will still want them gone. It's a kind of prejudice.

We spend more money on our kids than on us, especially as far as entertainment goes. We used to go to a place near us that had toys, and a little cleared area, once or twice a week. When it changed hands, the new owner put 2 tables in that space, and we stopped going there. The two extra tables nett...

Just to add some fuel to the fire, when he was doing <i>Race Around the World</i> he had a voodoo curse put on his ex-girlfriend.

Let's see what else I can find.

Edit: OK, he did a bunch of voodoo stuff during this show as well. That would explain where that came from better.

Hygiene. This is the bigger problem. The nature of an Infantryman's life is privation. I believe the male anatomy is a bit more unforgiving than the female's when it comes to the subject of neglected hygiene. There are pharmaceutical fixes to this, but at what cost.

Seems like I missed a bunch of posts the first time round. I'd swear this was only up to page two.

It's just a gimmick. If he is allowed to speak to predomoinantly liberal groups, encouraging them to vote, then this is not really anything different. It's a bit far-fetched to call it bribery, IMO.

I read along detailed post from an Army training sergeant on this, in a blog that's been deleted.

Choices have consequences. Making a choice is a brave thing. Letting someone else choose for you is not. Leaving the situation entirely because you don't like your alternatives doesn't improve the situation for anyone else and just serves to keep your happy ass from dealing with the consequences of...

I find avoiding the consequences of my actions to be quite in accord with my own principles. That'd be a good trick. As for draft dodging being cowardice, I'm agreeing with Moo that people who didn't want to fight had an option to go to jail, and avoidance of that choice is, I believe, cowardice. Y...
