Well, shit no. Men can always rape each other, but who'd make the sandwiches for post-rape party? We aren't stupid!

Most of my flying experiences where directly related to my skydiving activities. The Twin is a boon to the FS8 videoman that I was :p

Skydiving? Are you one of those adrenaline junkies?

I think it's hilarious that we consider a spot in PZ's dungeon a badge of honour. I'm still waiting to be added to the lists of the sinners.

Well, that's it, isn't it? In order for them to completely dismiss EP they have to reject epiphenomenalism and deny that the mind is what the brain does.

The rational modern interpretation seems to be that gender is neither wholly nurture or nature. I thought this was widely accepted.

I should add that in my previous example, it is always a man saying it to another man. Also, since it was a London example, I should have spelt cunt as cant.

Another piece of data: when in London earlier this week I asked some people about it.

It must be done. Not only does this require judgment, it requires speaking out in spite of unpopularity or concern about whom it might offend.

It is far more offensive to yourself and others to lack the conviction to stand up for what you believe in.

Dammit, the clicking of the keyboard just now triggered the cat to have a seizure.

I used to smoke a pipe. Been thinking about it recently. Much better than cigars/ cigarettes. Smoother tobacco experience. Only smoke the occasional cigar nowadays.
