plus there's that whole homophobia thing.

what's up with the dude in the picture wearing a poncho. that's practically cheating. Not only does he not get his clothes ruined like the rest of us, but he KNEW it was coming. where's the fun in that?!

If it was me, I'd move to a nice little 2 bedroom apartment in Montrose. Unless you have kids, then a 3 bedroom apartment.

I was thinking something more like "this toy comes with batteries included"

That's just begging for creative pick up lines...

Only one of those pictures is actually a weird piercing. All the others are just weird items stuck through relatively normal piercings. Well, what have become relatively normal piercings these days. Or maybe I just live in a weird place.

Yeah, that's why I asked if she said anything. Because frankly, if she did say something and got all pissed and then her friend busted out laughing because it was a joke, that's a pretty funny scene. But if she didn't say anything, and neither did her friend (and she didn't indicate if either happened) it may not have been a joke. Either way, i'm damn curious! Also, even if it was a joke, revenge is still in order. A revenge joke, of course, not fish in the air ducts.

Wait, hold on. So you're saying that your "friend" invited you to her christmas party where she had the buddha that she stole from you on display? That either super ballsy or really stupid. Did you say anything? Did you get it back? Either way, she better be getting some fish in her air ducts.

A short list of uncool Things About Being 30
Lindercles replied to thepollster's topic in The Bonfire
When I was a kid listening to Nevermind I used to wonder if Classic rock was a specific, unchangeable set of bands/songs from a specific time period, or just a cagetory meaning "old" that would be added to over time. I guess my question is slowly being answered. -
But you didn't ask for a hypothetical which could be compared to what actually happened, you asked for a hypothetical about how the same thing could happen to innocent people. I was not comparing the trapping of pedophiles to the imprisonment of Japanese, I was comparing the possible future persecution of innocent people to the proven past persecution of innocent people.

VH1 did a great series about former "reality TV" stars that illustrated exactly this point. Of course, since i hate "reality TV" I didn't know who any of these people were, but it certainly fed my disgust for the genre!
-
Ok, here's a hypothetical. McCarthyism. And nobody has argued what is right and wrong with respect to pedophilia, only with repect to the media's role.
-
WHEW! I was really afraid of what might have resulted from that!

*** an excellent illustration of the principle of double effect. interesting, execpt that if i recall the principle of double effect correctly, it violates two of it's basic tenets. The first being that the action in question itself not be wrong. And the second being that the the good effect be proportionate to the bad. I certainly don't mean to sound insensitive, but it seems to me that the potential effects of this sort of activity on our society as a whole outweighs the good effect of saving a small number of members of the same society. Oh man, i'm going to catch so much hell for this.
-
That would be the unjust end part. If the media is allowed to trap guilty people, what keeps them from trapping innocent people, and ruining their lives?
-
These guys definitely have it coming to them. The issue, however, is in who gives it to them. That is why we have established conduits through which to process these people. In this case, the media did something wrong in order to achieve a just end, but if we allow it to continue, eventually someone in the media will do it to achieve an unjust end, intentionally or not. What will you think when the victim is YOU?

so i went through a real dirty hippy phase in college. long hair, beard, bathe once a week or so, the whole way. at the same time, I was working in a particularly nasty restaurant, where I would occasionally have to clean the floor mats. after one such cleaning i didn't bathe for several days. my girlfriend at the time (being always graceful and subtle) waited until we were in bed one night and tactfully said "baby, it's kind of hard to make sweet love to a mat."

I was thinking maybe she wanted a root canal.
-
apparently he would. give her a pen and tell her to take notes. only in proper english, of course.

nice one. nothing like a bit of self depricating humor!

yeah, beating the texans is really going to prove anything to anyone! hell, most of the high school teams in texas could beat the texans.

ok, A) i don't have a lawyer. B) hopefully, i won't ever need one. and C) you don't have to "blow bleed or piss a .008" (i thought it was .08) to be a DWI? Are you saying that you don't actually have to be proven to be .08 by a blood, breath, or piss test? does that mean that if you simply appear to the judgement of the officer to be drunk you can be convicted?
