Yeah. And even though the forum may be new, it will contain the same old people. SSDF

Don't have a cow.

Need = New material

you might need a Comprehender Commander.

Established route? So a hiker isn't a hiker unless they walk on a trail? (or unless they summit, or ask dumb questions, or what?)

We are the public.

Now *that* is a sad comment.

Not necessarily true. People with low self-esteem often push themselves very hard to try and make up for deficiencies (real or imagined).

Marketing.

Thus, the truth is ugly?

Is this a memorial thread that we can't post anything lighthearted in?

Good post--thanks! Big Business has learned to bypass these time-consuming shenanigans by just running the government themselves.

Funny, the only time I get asked is when I'm naked.

"Seems the examples are two different things. The first appears to be deterministic and does not indicate a creative process. The individual merely discovers a pattern and reveals it. Our minds are great at seeing patterns. Sometimes we even see meaningful but false patterns." Why wouldn't the process of discovery be considered a creative process? Why would a pattern that an artist/discoverer sees be considered false? Would you say that a climber climbing off-route is no longer climbing?

Good advice here, especially about going to a specialist to get properly diagnosed first. You do have options, but only a doc who is strong in the area of auto-immune disorders and/or sports medicine will know the current findings. (I have a great doc, and am happy to share him.) Although there is no cure now, so many young people are getting it that the field is growing rapidly and therapy options are growing. Don't go to a doc that tells you to grin and bear it; go to one who will support you in finding the best treatment for you and your lifestyle. Only 50% of people who take glucosamine are responders, so this therapy may not work for you. I'd be happy to chat about this more if you want--feel free to add me to the list of folks to contact. The more experiences you hear about, the more you will learn about your options.

Ok. Everyone but you.

Hello, we are all people. We have a lot more in common with each other than we have different.

The first Civil Rights act was pushed and passed by the Republican party. Assuming you mean the civil rights act of 1866, you really believe Lincoln's Republican party is the same as bush's political party? Ah, no; I don't "believe" its the same party (hell, those dudes are all dead now anyway). Just think it's fun to occasionally point out tidbits from history for entertainment purposes.

I volunteer at a Rape Crisis center and see the aftermath of some horrible shit. I sure wish people would get as upset about humans being raped as they do about a men fucking chickens.

Well, I guess if you have changed your original position as a result of the postings here, I was the one who was wrong.

Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it.

These processes are not mutually exclusive.

Good to hear that the non-human animal wasn't hurt. Guess he was just sowing his oats.
