I'm sure Jan and Paul can tell us about cod and the kissing thereof.

Rei

Hurrah! That's wonderful!!

Rei

That's great to hear!

All of these news stories over the past number of years have really been feeding a strong anti-America bias in me. I cannot fathom how a country which makes such suggestions seriously (and sometimes even passes laws) about women and immigrants (legal or illegal) and non-white people is meant to be n...

I <3 iPlayer. In addition to Doctor Who it has QI!

Oi, Arizona... I'm really baffled how the government thought it'd be easier to get every company to fund healthcare instead of just funding it themselves through taxes. It'd at least cut out the issue of people whining about what they have to include in a plan and defending it with some cobbled defi...

I love that this current show will be over tonight.

I love that my character in Merry Wives is described as Eeyore, a drunk Eeyore.

Historically they were the result of failing to trim the edges of the sheet which was folded and cut into pages (if you look at older books you will sometimes find pages that haven't yet been cut apart). Today they are, I presume, an attempt at looking old-timey.

Hurrah!

One very confused restaurant in town celebrated Mardis Gras on a Monday in late January.

Rei

At no point have I been speaking about liberty. That would be you, and I think the stakes are far higher than individual rights at all costs (hard to accept, I know). I am also not speaking about poverty, although I pulled up that example because the poor are one of the first groups who would be aff...

I can reconcile sapience with a "father knows best" mindset (as you put it) because people are cruel and have a hard time walking a mile in someone else's shoes. You say there would be no reduction of personhood, but how long would it take to see a person begging for money and overhear som...

Rei

a competitive market for organs I'll be honest, this phrase is for me a sufficiently compelling reason against it. It reduces human beings down to individual components which may be auctioned off at will instead of treating people as living, sapient creatures in their entirety. To view humans as or...

Rei

Dear you, As I'm sure you are aware by now, the only information out there on childbirth and rearing is for ideal situations. For anyone and everyone who cannot have that ideal situation, there is nothing but condemnation and hatred, and nobody seems to realise that maybe sometimes people don't choo...

They are insanely strict about who and how they give out library cards to in my apartment's town...I can't get one through them (unless I surrender my AZ license and get an IL one). But I just overheard them mention needing birth certificates or divorce decrees for kids if they have a different las...

Rei

Oooh, wow! That's brilliant!

On an owl-related note, I saw an ale on tap at a pub the other day called "Screech Owl", but I would swear they'd depicted a barn owl on it.

Rei

Awesome!

Rei

I was getting quite worried that we wouldn't get any snow, despite all the news of it falling all over the REST of the country! Now we've got at least an inch or two!

Rei

I just finished reading The Return of the King. And the ending always makes me feel so, so very sad. One feels very much like Sam, left by the master they love on the shore and then have to go back to living life for a time.

Rei

I'm sorry, I think you are wrong. It isn't just a discussion about the meaning of the word "should" although that may play into it. It's a discussion about equality between men and women and the prejudices that are faced and reinforced Every. Single. Day. in our society. In our workplaces....

Rei

Hmmm, I don't think I asked if you care if that man wants to wear that dress. I'm pretty sure I asked if you think that man " should be wearing " that dress. Which is a question focused on your opinion, not his. And that question was more generalized to men in general wearing dresses. Non...

Rei

*hugs*

I hope you have peace

Rei

Actually that WAS my response to your question. I was following in the long tradition of the Socratic method.

Rei

I would argue what I have heard (possibly here, possibly elsewhere, I have forgotten): Until it is acceptable for men to participate in things that are feminine, we will not have gender equality. As things currently stand, as good as it has been that women are able to participate in masculine things...

Rei

Yes indeed!

Rei

I cracked open a bottle last night. It tastes pretty good, although, as expected, strongly of treacle. It's not as fizzy as would be nice, so I suspect I didn't bottle it soon enough. It also did not have very much alcohol, which is not necessarily a bad thing, although I managed to down an entire 7...

Rei

I'm with Jan. What's wrong with doing something feminine? Why should anyone fear it?

Rei

It's been a few years since I've seen it, but my memory of the ape costumes was that they were pretty good, all things considered.

Freakiest moment ever when I was 8 years old, though, was when they woke up near the beginning and saw the female crew member all... whatever she was.

Rei

I had wondered why I initially saw the screen I wanted and it was only blanked a moment after. And then I went back to google and found another site.

Rei

So I just bottled my first batch and have it back in the boiler cupboard. I'm not certain that it will turn out, but judging by the dregs at the bottom of the bucket, science happened! So who knows!

Rei

I had a professor who told me what he likes to do is hand plagiarised papers back to the student with the citation of where they took their stuff written across the top. Then he usually gives them a very short but possible time to hand in their own work.

Rei

I kind of enjoyed not being able to use it and being forced to look elsewhere.
