  1. Funny thing; Ever read the book from which the plot was drawn? "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" In the book, sexual relations with androids was a crime. I had forgotten the name of the book, but I never read it. Interesting, since sex is one of the biggest drivers in android development.

  2. There are low calorie chocolate covered strawberries? Why? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  3. Who do we define as mentally ill? The medicated? Many mentally ill self-medicate without going to a doctor. Those seeking treatment? That'll put an end to seeking treatment. Those adjudicated mentally ill? They already can't legally purchase a firearm. Depressed? What about post-partum depression? How do you get your right to own a firearm back if it passes? Bi-polar? Even if you are being treated and non-violent? Diabetic? Untreated, it can cause a form of schizophrenia. Infection causing a temporary mental defect? Traumatic brain injury? What if you have extreme PMS? PTSD when you return from combat? It is very common, but often subsides. What's the procedure to be certified as 'sane' once you make the mistake of seeking help with an issue? Suppose you were prescribed anti-depressants after giving birth, but the hormonse stabilized. If it went on your record that you were being medicated, do you have to prove that you are better in order to restore your rights? To further complicate the issue...if we don't trust someone with a firearm, should we trust them to vote, drive a car, consume alcohol...? Quite a quagmire.

  4. I miss those days. Glad you are enjoying them. I had a good workout after the office. I had a nice glass of wine with dinner. Tried to watch 'A Beautiful Mind', but it was too depressing. Swapped to 'A Knight's Tale' in surround sound. Much better. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

    SKYFALL--007

    I was at the PX Wednesday and saw it was for sale. I saw it on the big screen when I was back in the states and picked up the DVD. I got home and hooked up a couple of new speakers to my stereo and connected the DVD player. Watched Skyfall in surround sound and had a great evening. It wasn't the bold new take on the character that the first of this reboot was, but I really liked the merger with the original series. I was able to totally sympathize with the Bond character's devotion to duty despite other things going on. In fact, I might watch it again tonight.

  6. Ha! You are correct and thank you! I'm from the South and I've heard it said wrong so much that I just typed what was in my head.

  7. How do you get off the list? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  8. #1 was expressed by Andy in SC. #2 goes to Jerry. You were the first I have seen to post #3. I caught the reference to the Harrison Ford movie earlier, but didn't take the next step to replicant. Although, she kicked Darryl Hannah's rear as a pleasure unit if I go by her photos.

  9. And if you see no progress toward 'adult functionality', you introduce them to skydiving? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  10. I wish people would read their religious books. Then, it would be really cool if they made an effort to understand them. 1. That comes from Revelations. Revelations was in and out of the bible over the ceturies for good reason. It was part of a large genre of apocalyptic literature that was not considered prophetic or necessarily religious at the time. 2. That particular verse says the WAY to determine the name of the Beast requires wisdom. The method is through use of the number 666. (From memory. Don't get hung up on semantics) 3. Hebrew letters have numeric value. So, names had numeric value. Ceasar's name had the value of 666. He also had a mark that had to be on the forehead or hand of anyone engaged in open commerce just like Revelations describes. 4. Many scholars accept that Revelations was mostly a political piece about the current times. It was written in a virutal code because free speech was a good way to get killed.

  11. Really? She was THAT hot and had a brain and he splattered her? ONE of them was batshit crazy. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

  13. Sigh....I'm a guy. I don't read instructions. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  14. Andy, he trumped you HARD! And he didn't violate the ADA. Nice job. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  15. This question reminds me of a line from 'A Knight's Tale': "YES! And at the same time, a resounding NO!" I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  16. Well, technically, he was right. A clip is a device used to load a magazine. But they are quite rare now and the use of the term has evolved. I see why you find it amusing that Fox would misuse it, but they don't all have to be packing because they work for Fox, do they? I don't expect all the CNN anchors are lighting up doobies between segments...just a few of them, really. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  17. QuoteIn real life I'm a Developmental Cognitive Neuroscientist. What the heck is that, you ask? I do research in brain development. I also teach research methods to undergrads. reply] I still don't know what you do. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

    Love / Hate

    Exactly. Love is an action verb. If you aren't doing something selfless for them, it probably isn't love. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  19. Hellooooo? It was still aluminum. It would have shown up on an X-Ray or metal detector. Silly shark. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  20. Andy's insensitive to the handicapped! Andy's insensitive to the handicapped! Where are the mods??? Oh the shame! Oh the inhumanity! Seriously, dude. If we had a badump bump icon, I would have hit it. lol I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  21. On a related thought, what does a woman that hot have to do to make a normal guy want to kill her and act on it? I'm not saying he's normal. It's hypothetical. If she arrived in my house in the night, my first thought would not be to kill. A whole different set of instincts would kick in. It's possible she was stalking him and arrived in the wee hours with a gun. But there is no evidence of that so far. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  24. I was a cop. The lesbians who have domestic disturbances are never 'hot'. But the strippers... I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
