I agree with the problem of saying they are a "cure". We have dealt with this already and have outlawed making false claims. Is that what you are afraid of happening again?

Maybe we should outlaw trains. They are always killing people and not paying with jail time. Plus, they are noisy.

Um, cocaine is a topical anesthetic. Using it for a tooth ache reliever is reasonable. Some people are stupid and get addicted to shit by taking too much all the time for no pain. Those who use drugs properly don't encounter this problem nearly as much as you'd think.

Eat more pussy and less garlic.

he didn't always juice, and steroids don't necessarily kill people. And it is way too dismissive of everything he's accomplished to just say that was roids. Sure he used them, but obviously it takes more than that to become a world champion like he was.

There are more than 2 responses to fear, you know that from climbing. Sometimes we freeze, sometimes we face our fear and move on. And by doing so, we effectively embrace what scares us.

That is too simple of an analogy. Movies are made and marketed for males under 30. The world is not ruled by males under 30. At least, not any longer. xenophobia is also different--fear is different than hate. Hell, we are even fearful in our love toward one another. I believe the Hobbes quote also includes the world "isolated" (correct me if I am wrong, my memory is not so good). So are we isolated? I don't think so. And I don't think life is nasty and brutish either. Short, yes. But if you are unhappy and life is dominated by hatred, why would "short" be included in the not-so-good list about life?

Recycled Cycles in Fremont. I'll go with you. You are welcome to test drive the bike I bought from them. I'll cost you a beer.

I disagree. I think the general rule of man is love. Its just that seeing those who suffer at the hands of hate is much more frightening, and thus, memorable, than those who thrive under the warmth of love.

isn't these rules just a slippery slope though? - how long before The Man wants to shorten it to just "don't fuck"?!? the horror! If that happens then I need to repeal the no jaywalking law. I'd throw myself in front of a bus.

I own this movie. Arnie is one of my heros. He accomplishes whatever he sets his mind to. He is more diciplined and intelligent then he gets credit for.

But I love fucking with people. Can we replace that one with Don't jaywalk.

I just want to point out here that your underlying belief system is that the one with the economic power is the one with the power to decide on who does what (as well as control the level of one's privacy, decision making, whatever). I am not saying this to provoke a defense--I actually believe the same thing. But I do think it is good to be aware of these beliefs/assumptions and call them out on occasion. You are correct. It is part of my belief structure. Money=choice and choice=power. i am not saying that is right, it is just what i think. I believe the same. I am just making a connection with another discussion you and I were having on another day...

I think insisting on using the word hate here over and over again creates more of the hate-filled environment that folks keep insisting is here. I don't read a lot of hate into people's comments about being glad that Falwell isn't around any longer. Maybe calous, maybe relief, maybe crudeness; but not hate. Where are people getting this? Projection? Buzz word? What? Ease up a little. So Falwell's dead; we'll all be there soon enough. So some of us celebrate the fact that the death of Christ was necessary for salvation. What do you care if that's what we think? So sometimes we are all a little hypocritical. Hey, no one is perfect. Why waste time pointing the finger and name calling? What are you hoping to accomplish. I think the dicussion around this is awesome. I just think some of the sidetracking (mentioned above) draws attention away from the power of the discussion itself. [/off soap box--now shutting up]

And I'd also like to say that I got the pagetop in this very serious discussion. So there.

"your" women? Good one.

If they are so pious, why do they tear off her clothing? I just don't understand. WARNING: graphic video contains footage of a young woman being killed

someone needs to set this to the Jaws theme...

I have finally gotten to the lowered appetite stage. I have been too stressed the last three nights to eat dinner, and I have lost a pound each day. Goes to show that I just eat too much.

I've decided to only go for men who like women with a big ass.
