Holy freakin' asscrackers folks. 15 pages since yesterday? Srsly?
Feh, I don't got time fer that ...
*blink*
Good morning.
I wonder, do most people update their profiles regularly? I check people's profiles, but not widely or regularly enough to have much of a feel for the answer. It still seems to me like most people ignore their profiles, which is too bad.

I tend to ignore mine. I should put more thought and effort but then I think meh.

There are rare occasions when I will update my profile. More often than not, though, I leave it alone.
Anyway, home from work today. They closed us down because of the damn snow storm. Still waiting for that crap to stop so I can go outside and abuse myself for several hours by shoveling.
By the way Mairkurion...

See, I take that comment like the other one: as not referring to us. Quasi-funny...stupid "funny" does not apply. If they don't get the funny, I am not responsible. Some people thought Dean Swift really thought eating babies was a good idea. If you have to explain humor, it doesn't work, so either they get it or they don't. I observe it, it passes me by. It tells me things about people, it tells me things about how I am likely perceived, I watch it drift down stream and out to sea. Buh-bye.
Crazy is a funny thing: it never sees the crazy on the other side. So, for example, some people can see that Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck is crazy, but not that there are crazy female professors on campus doing the things that Heathy was talking about last night: rule of thumb, etc. Or vice versa. I think that crazies tend to create each other or are opposing products of a larger system. Is it an accident that Hitler/Mussolini popped up on one side and Stalin/Mao on the other during the same period?
David, people continue to complain about humor in the feminism thread.

David, people continue to complain about humor in the feminism thread.Sometimes, I think there are people around here who would complain about humor in a comedy club.
Funny, on The View yesterday Whoopi said you can't possibly be using humor unless you have performed at Caroline's Comedy Club. So when is you guys next gig?

Perhaps a thread 'Do Feminists have a Sense of Humor?'
Nah, it'll get killed.
Actually it sounds like several men are trying to assert themselves as feminists, and hope by being very vocal that they would be found worthy of that title. *sigh* They must be ashamed of their dangly parts. I see the same behavior in many converts. They tend to be more zealous than others. And have the thinnest skins.
Silly humans. Everyone should be golems.

Well, I guess that shows us. How can we not listen to someone with her kind of expertise? After all, she's named after the cushion - one of the funniest inventions ever.

See I will be the first to tell people I am not a feminist. I also don't support the civil rights movement as it is currently constituted. I believe in eqal treatment under the law and equal rights for all, but from what I have seen those movements as currently constituted seem to be about special priviliges because of past injustices. I do not think Elizabeth Stanton or Dr. King would be proud of what the movements they led have become.

I wrote a paper once about how the current leadership of the civil rights movement have perverted Dr. King's dream. I explained how things like affirmative action actually set back his desire to see a nation where men are "judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin." My professor was a veteran of the movement, and a lifetime membe of the NAACP. He gave me an A on the paper and forwared it to their journal for publishing. They decided not to publish it because I was a white guy.

Still, at least your professor wasn't as judgemental. He sounds like a cool dude.

+2, but the same can be said about a lot of 'movements'. Unions were begun out of a need to protect workers, then SOME grew into something way beyond its intent. Something mirroring the problem they were trying to address. That pendulum thingy.

He is, we still talk from time to time. He was a childhood friend of Martin Luther King III, so he basically grew up at Dr. King's house.
Edit: Between him and spending two years living in and around Selma and Birmingham, I was privilaged to know a lot of people who were personally aquainted with Dr. King. It really gave me a good perspective of who he was and what he wanted to acomplish.
MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet! I just read on Big Hollywood that Chris Nolan and his crew are already starting on a 3rd Batman movie, and that Nolan has been hired by Warner to oversee the rebirth of the Superman franchise!I fear what Nolan will do to Superman. I don't want "dark, brooding Superman".
See, I don't think he'll do that. Nolan and his crew are very creative and really seem to understand the characters with which they work. If anything, I think he'll take it up a notch in the action department, maybe even doing a villain other than Lex Luthor and not having it suck.
MINE!

Goooooooooooood morning! Yesterday was a great day, and I'm feeling good about today too. Training was wonderful, and I got a chance to geek out with a coworker at the second job on Wheel of Time and George R.R. Martin and other such things. Maybe I can get some people there playing Pathfinder, which would be the icing on the sex reasearcher cake! Speaking of, I need to plan for next weeks monthly girls-only Darklight Sisterhood game, in which the players have found an ancient relic of Aroden(a.k.a. God's Dinner Table), and revisit my counterspelling homebrew rules. It's also snowing here, but not so much that I can't enjoy it. Here's hoping we get blanketed with snow and ice in a blizzard the likes have not been seen since 1996!
So, what's up on everyone else's side of the fence?
GRRRR!
Mine!

Just so long as he isn't TOO boyscoutish or Captain Marvel-like in his cheerfulness.
Give it up!
Edit: YES! Blue man FTW!
