Can you explain what the results of this survey will be used for? The questions seem more applicable to an actuary than a physician, but perhaps I'm missing something....

to what end? what's the purpose?

ramuta's I'd call John Ramuta and explain what you've got. I doubt he'd take something on that wasn't a go. Just got my Solutions back from him, and they are, no hyperbole, better than when I first got 'em. His edge is superior to the factory edge, and he preserved the fit perfectly. Pretty nice when the shoes fits me just right, costs a buck fitty per pair, and are built to probably go through quite a few resoles. I had such a sour experience at dave page's over a decade ago that i'd never go back.

"Parenting advice"? I suppose there's always the mariners.

Linky your point? (not that you'll answer, because your "point" is nothing you really care about.)

Right, so that only rich people can afford to be in office. Fail. dual density. both at a very high density. the humor here of course is that any president in the history of the US might have been motivated by the salary. or that any president wasn't rather wealthy to begin with. or senator. or congressman. but, it's not only the religious that need their myths.

nice work drew. rudy, after seeing drew's fingers, i think he'd get two or three fingers in each pocket on the thing i'm trying. definitely something to consider, if he's siked. the top of aggro monkey is what might be more work, with the potential reach issues....

Kinda backwards there, since meat is undeniably good for you (although completely unnecessary for optimal health).

how so?

Start with reading Fast Food Nation. Then think about our biological make-up: hardly one built for heavy meat consumption. Veganism seems to express itself as a bit of a cultish fad at times, but if well thought-out, obviously very healthy. I personally think lacto-ovo veggie is the healthiest, physiologically/ethically.

you can buy unpasteurized dairy in select spots in seattle. health dept hasn't shut it down, probably cuz there are very few cases of illnesses associated with them. and regarding the health of vegetarians and vegans, just read the studies on 7th day adventists.

you were funnier carrying a gun in everett.

fascinating. especially the percentages of women supporting FGM.

and, just to belabor the point a little longer, my suggestion regarding male mutilation wasn't a "comparison" per se, only an apt rejoinder, since we were talking about genital mutilation.

< shrug > many women like 'em cut < shrug > I'm sure many men like 'em cut too meaning-before i'm misunderstood- that many men won't marry women who haven't had the ritualistic mutilation performed.

Scalping and beheading.

< shrug > many women like 'em cut < shrug > I'm sure many men like 'em cut too

i call male circumcision "mutilation" also. amazing there are as many adherents as there are, here in the "reformed" US. The Jewish especially seem to get quite up-in-arms about their rights to mutilate their male off-spring.

on to other news.... an afghani is facing the death sentence for converting to christianity (this sentence is koran-based, yes?) karzai, the president of afghanistan, will not step in to save the man. in other news, 90% of egyptian females have suffered genital mutilation (probably not koran-based; anyone know?).

Wow! You *heard* that? Holy shit - that's impressive 2nd-hand info! Dude. He called the fruit picker shortage, and that was from signs on the road. I'd ask him for lotto numbers.

i'm not sure about the hang-up on this "dirt-bag" label, but it sounds like what you wanna do is work part of the year and then climb part of the year, and do the climbing part on the cheaps. wait tables, drive a taxi (that's what i did at one point, made around 200 a day, and could come and go as i pleased), construction, alaska fishing (especially crab, if you can get in), guiding (but kinda sucks for money), turn tricks if you're hot. traveling er nurse sounds like a good gig for the right person. an acquaintance's friend does this and works 4 months annually, making around 40 or 50 grand. teaching can be good, with a few months off a year, but hard to find work now. if you really want to "dirt bag", just do it. hop the rails and head south. good time of year to do it now, when the weather sucks up here for the next 3 months.

sexual compulsion is hardly freedom. neither is reproduction, in and of itself.

that's pretty funny: "the crazier you get as a Jain, the less we have to worry about you." the first vid was good. the second was too decontextualized from his overall views, increasing the opportunity to entirely misconstrue him. i do wonder though why he never (that i've seen) mentions the repressive conditions that, without fail, give support to the extreme elements of islamist thought? and, i am curious, would you consider the big bang an expression of freedom.

wild and crazy, like steve martin.
