Re: Following proper form shouldn't guarantee victory Isaac Send a noteboard - 15/03/2010 02:44:17 AM

Now in diplo speak that's "Go ahead an show up, just don't walk in the door arm in arm, don't wear a tux, and don't display any levels of affection (which are probably alreayd against the rules) that will have to makes us take action"


The fact that you think that that's a reasonable response pisses me off to no end.


Travel more, you'd be amazed what you consider reasonable when you've visited certain places. It gives one an amazing appreciation for how incredibly tolerant and enlightened even the 'backwaters' in this country are.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

Oh, it is definitely self-defense. Dannymac - 12/03/2010 05:52:50 AM 717 Views
That analogy is not apt. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 06:10:27 AM 768 Views

That's right, I forgot to add that. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 03:23:25 PM 705 Views
It's a rather key piece of any attempted analogy, wouldn't you say? Sareitha Sedai - 12/03/2010 03:45:15 PM 599 Views
Again, you're right. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 03:59:13 PM 582 Views
Yup. Sareitha Sedai - 12/03/2010 04:02:26 PM 687 Views

Kind of a different can of worms then Isaac - 12/03/2010 03:20:35 AM 661 Views
What?! Now that is a can of worms I could see getting in a fight over. Tashmere - 14/03/2010 01:24:47 AM 661 Views
Hmm. Apparently it is legal to discriminate upon the basis of gender. Imagine that. Tashmere - 14/03/2010 02:45:51 AM 638 Views
It kind of makes sense, given the highly arbitrary and stereotypical nature of gender. Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 03:35:44 AM 569 Views

No no, I know how you feel. I'm just disinclined to have sympathy for the school. beetnemesis - 12/03/2010 11:28:35 PM 561 Views
Alternatively, I have little sympathy for the school, I just don't have much for her either Isaac - 12/03/2010 11:56:08 PM 673 Views
