I think it goes: First of all, you have no idea what it means to "End Affirmative Action". To actually end it would involve repealing all the civil rights laws. You're whining about quota programs, which aren't nearly the issue you seem to think they are. With only a few isolated cases, be...

I'm not Paul, but I'll shoot [especially since I can hardly piss people off any more than I already have].

Moo, I think we are just coming at this from different angles, and aren't going to agree. Thorn, I have gotten more glares for failing to discipline my children, then I have for doing so.

What I said more or less meant to be said with a little fecitous ironic smile.

From an Iraqi blogger The majority of Iraqis have expressed their desire to see him hanged publicly as soon as possible to mark an end to his era and to move on. A few said they didn't care anymore and that they were more interested in their future, and an even smaller group (from the Sunni areas) s...

edit: to expand on that, I think you have more rights than your cat because you are stronger and smarter. In Western societies, we've decided that these reasons don't apply between humans.

Because they're adults. The same reason I have more rights then my cat.

What is the reason that you have more rights than your cat?

And what if they do mind? Because you know, children /aren't/ adults. Move, cope, call the police, whatever seems appropriate. It's not like adults always do whatever I ask, either.

I think my kids are my responsibility (and their dad's). If they're misbehaving, sure tell me about it, and I'll deal with it. But I don't discipline other people's kids, and I don't expect other people to scold mine. If other people's kids are making problems for me, and their parents aren't around...

Can't find it again now, but flipping through the blogs this morning, someone quoted an Iraqi govt aide saying that the new government was very ready to scream to the media if the U.S. started interfering with its decisions. That amused me, for some reason.

"Hey! No, wait!" cried Amber, but Speed was already racing up the shaft. The basement seemed frighteningly empty without her, and the mouth of the tunnel loomed ominously all of a sudden. What if some of the gangers were creeping down it? She slung the unfamiliar rifle over her shoulder, a...

A lot of people think that Allawi will bring in curfews and martial law to improve the security situation. The Americans are constrained in that regard. The real reason they need to be there is to make sure the elections run, and that Allawi hands over power to whoever wins them.

There are two issues here. One is consent and one is payment. I would guess consent for life-saving procedures is assumed because most people want to live.

What about it? I eat at McDonald's about once a week, and I never get fries and a drink. People who drink soda and eat fries are the same types of people who eat unhealthy at home.

I thought that was part of the point, that McDonald's meals are very high in calories No more so then any other food. A "Big n' Tasty", which I think is their largest sandwich, is 590 calories. That's just the burger. What about chips and a drink? And it's not any more filling than a sala...

Ironically, the reverse is true. The more dramatically you cut your calories, the more rapid and extreme the fat-storage efforts become. The added excercise only counteracts the slowing metabolism to a degree-- it's the resting rate that matters, and that's the rate we spend most of our time at. Yo...
