Every time I hear one of these stories it pisses me off. How do you make up for something like this?!!! linky

yes, it does. nice PC try though. kids need both a male and female role-model, so with same-sex parents, that missing role model needs to be filled somehow - ideally speaking that is.

sounds like a short jump you're bad

Interesting that you make no mention of Chris's discovery that his father had not been divorced from his first wife when he married Chris's mom, and also fathered a child with the first wife after Chris was born. I think you'd be hard pressed to find an 18-year-old capable of forgiving their father after learning that, but maybe the ones who aren't naive and self-righteous would just take that right in stride. Well, gee, that's par for the course for V7 - check out the monogamy thread.

That's how it seems to me, too. The few "non-standard" families I've come across struck me as very happy. I guess some people like chocolate, and some people like vanilla, and some people like chocolate AND vanilla? I don't see any problem saying what it best on average for kids growing up. The reality is very few families are average and deviate from the "ideal" in some way.

"Halloween? Isn't that some pagan holiday, and aren't you being tempted to participate by... someone... could it be.... Satan?"

Bingo. so are the wildfires. look at the number of evacuees. as for the quoted point above, you can't expect a perfect response to an unprecedented event. No. 13: fuck off

"Why you call police? Did the retard escape?"

Love? Is that what you call it? yes, my young ignorant friend. making passionate love with women i love. you make a fine baboon

damned if you do, damned if you don't. blame is always dished out; credit is never given Not how I see it. This is my view: Damned: insisting on comparing this disaster to Katrina Not Damned: recognizing that this is it's own case. You want to compare the two? Then compare the system. People still have to wait in line to fill out a piece of paper and then wait on a 1-800 line forever to be told they may or may not get help. Nothing has changed since Katrina--except that people are more aware of bad publicity. Thank God we live in a weathy and generous society (go ahead and make barbs here; but I honestly believe this). People will donate money, time, clothing, etc to the victims of this disaster who just lost everything. there have been many hurricanes, and adequate relief for the victims. Katrina was different: it was unprecedented in its destruction and unforeseen. Yet, Bush was supposed to react perfectly to it. there have been many wildfires in SoCal - for as long as I remember (I lived in Cali 23 years). This seems to be unprecedented in its destruction and impact - and the response is well above average.

Love? Is that what you call it?

if your behavior is not immoral than nothing is.

in other words, the guy who claims to be so much above the animals and their base instincts w/r/t killing and war, wallows in the basest of animal drives w/r/t sex.

damned if you do, damned if you don't. blame is always dished out; credit is never given

yes, not a happy ending indeed. double entendre intended

you are right... a bunch of girlie men:

How izzit that you're aware of Malibu court operations? archenemy is omniscient

looks to me that it works about 1/2 of the time.

You are forgiven. Cheers! i'll buy you a drink some time. for now, expect more abuse.

moreover a central authority is run by ... people.... and people are not rational actors... so the outcome will be better how? you've replaced one set of "irrational actors" with another.

yes, clearly we should turn to the RealWorld and MTV for case studies on sociology and answering the most profound questions of human nature.

homewrecker!!

TRASHTALKINGTINA KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR ALL OF US AND HOW WE MUST LEAD OUR LIVES FULFILLING OUR MORAL OBLIGATIONS TO THE PLANET AND OUR FELLOW MAN BEFORE WE DIE AND CEASE TO EXIST. HE KNOWS THE PERFECT MIX OF CONSUMPTION AND LIFESTYLE THAT WORKS FOR EVERY HUMAN ON THE PLANET AND THIS KNOWLEDGE IS INCONTROVERTIBLE FACT SO DON'T EVEN TRY TO ARGUE WITH HIM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

Another engineer (aerospace working for a large NW company) And isn't it ironic that white collar engineer/science/etc. types are interested in climbing whilst spending nearly their entire careers sitting on their butts... Not at all. I'm more amazed by folks who have jobs that involve physical work or being on their feet all day who enjoy climbing.

MORE REASON TO MAKE THEM ALL LEGAL THEY CAN DO ALL THE DRYWALLING FOR THE REBUILDING FOR 0.25 DOLLARS AN HOUR AND BE A FURTHER BOON TO OUR ECONOMY.
