    Favourite Episodes of your favourite show

    Just off the top of my head, my favorite show: Babylon 5 Comes the Inquisitor Passing Through Gethsemane Sleeping in Light

    Eco-duct get blocked off: hippies are pissed

    Absolutely, close it off. It sounds to me like it is, currently, "unfinished". The intended finished product has vegetation on it, which will make it more useful to the wildlife. You can't explain that to a deer.

    Poll: Do you believe in the pedobear Catholic priest stereotype?

    No, I don't. As to why the stereotype exists? Because the Church and her priests preach a moral standard, and this is a monstrous violation of that standard. Because Catholics trusted our children with the priests, and it was a violation of that trust. And I would not be surprised if...

    LGBT Community calls the Salvation Army Bigots

    In answer to the three questions posed: What do I think? I think both sides are right, more or less. Does this change my opinion of the Army? Not an inch. Will I still give to them next time? I never have. I think, as I said, that both groups are operating in good faith. If...

    Weirdest fear you had as a kid

    Correctly correctington. I'm assuming based on a quick Wikipedia search (online at work, so got my sound down) that the first two videos are covers. Now I have to go hide under my covers.

    Weirdest fear you had as a kid

    80's music. Specifically, there were two songs that must have been popular when I was young, say, kindergarten age that effected me strongly. One was called "The Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" and one called, I think "Maneater". The first said "The rhythm is gonna get you...tonight" and the...

    a hypothetical situation

    I think I'm more or less in agreement with what you're saying, and your assessment of what I'm saying. In particular, when I talked about social and psychological marks, I think you put it more clearly in talking about dress, mannerisms, graces, and interests. Obviously in today's society...

    a hypothetical situation

    You can and many, I'm sure, do make that assertion, but saying it doesn't make it so. Which is kind of my point here. I can't be certain what you mean by "physical gender" that I would not call "sex". To the best of my knowledge, the word gender has been applied to non-grammatical uses for...

    a hypothetical situation

    If you want clarification on what sort of therapy or assistance I mean, it would be that which has as its goal the reconciling of my child to his or her sex. As to false to facts, I mean to say that, barring a rare genetic disorder (which generally manifests nonetheless in a fairly definitive...

    You are dying.

    That's a good one, but here's my vote for the most beautiful piece of music ever written, and what I would like to go out hearing (and maybe on the way in as well. I'm sure the angelic choirs must have something better, but I can't imagine it.)

    a hypothetical situation

    I suppose it depends on the age of my child. But ultimately, the point would be to offer whatever age-appropriate assistance, possibly including therapy, is necessary to overcome the false-to-facts belief.

    (This thread actually works)So tea lovers: What's your favorite?

    My tea bears an unending racial hatred for your tea. Irish breakfast. Bewley's is my brand of choice, Barry's is also pretty good.

    Internationally brokered marriages

    I would be...cautious about it. If it's just a glorified pen-pal dating service, with full consent on both sides, it's not morally objectionable to me. Obviously if the women are coerced, or practically sold into slavery, there's a big problem. If abuse is going on, that's a problem too...

    Poll: Anwar al-Awlaki's Death: Justice or Assassination?

    I don't think it was either justice necessarily or assassination. I don't think he gave up his citizenship, but certainly he surrendered some of his rights by his actions. Ideally, yes, he should have been captured, tried, and then possibly executed. But if that was feasible, it would have...
