I'm not going to comment on the Schiavo fiasco any more than to say this: the supporting conservatives have lost any justification, from here on out, for using "activist judges" as a pejorative term.
This is the very image of hypocrisy.

Ok, so I'm not going to restrict my comments to just that. I'll add a little something that I find a bit ironic....

Thank you for taking the time to write the response you did in the thread I started earlier today

I suppose that it's trial by fire time. A couple of hours and I'll be going out with some friends. One of them is that rarest of creatures: an attractive woman whose eyes didn't glaze over when we started talking about computers. She was enthusiastic about it, even.
Suffice it to say that she made an impression.

She's amorous. I don't mind that; in fact, I like the cuddling and the generalized, comfort-level intimacy of it. The problem is that I know that she wants more from me. I can't give that to her.
Not like it's an emotional thing or anything like that. I'd really like to be able to have that interest in her. For a while, I...

Passion is fantastic, but I find it has a tendency to burn itself out quickly. Maybe it's not so with other people, but the slow, satisfying sex tends to lend itself to longer relationships with me than the "waking up the neighbors, broken furniture, massive rugburn" style of sex. Just my experience.

i'm guessing you did it by sharing the cookie somehow between the two browsers.
Word to the wise:
If you're hanging out with a friend, someone who's been bending backward to help you after you were raped, who has expended himself to exhaustion being there for you time and time again (the first time you were abused, and the second, and the third, and the rest), and someone you're drinking with says "fucking liberals" the same way that some...

Agreed. That can be really hard - a lot of people don't understand that you can't really separate a person from his beliefs, that they're often one and the same. When they insult your beliefs they're insulting you.

Just when I thought the work on LDE(X) was getting to a stable point, I uncovered a couple of critical bugs. Now all I have to do is get beta 2 tested (again), cram on C/C++ and Windows API programming and start digesting, documenting and hacking on the LS source.

Sigh... yeah, some new lows in the newswire. Unfortunately, in both of those cases there isn't much that I could do about them.
I know that I editorialize plenty of my posts, but I usually try to at least back up what I'm saying with some facts. Hyperbole has its place but it shouldn't be a substitute for all writing.
I don't know, my heart hasn't really been in the newswire much lately.

Not. Quite. Dead. Yet.
But somewhat close. I've been spending the previous weeks hacking away at the next beta release of LDE(X). The first beta seems to be going well -- by all accounts it's been a pretty stable release. Hopefully I'll be able to get things up to release candidate status by the end of the year, and maybe get beta 2 out this...

Welcome back - good to see you around.
I can't stand the whole Peterson thing either. I'm particularly annoyed by the people I meet who seem to think that because they've read articles about the case in People magazine that they're in a position to offer a qualified legal opinion about the verdict and sentencing. There's a reason why people are paid money to be lawyers - they know a lot that we don't know, and we aren't privy to all of the facts of the case. I get very irritated by that.
Anyway, have a good Christmas.

If it's true that you are who you hang with, it's even more true that you are who you fuck.
Unfortunately.
I used to like my ex, BS. How appropriate those initials seem to me now....

what we have is that abstinence is the cause of decline in teen pregnancy in said time period. most studies are inconclusive as to the effectiveness of either sex ed model when compared. There is significant research going on the determine such. Would this be a good summation?
fermatsenigma:
I would liken myself to legionaire. I am very science oriented. I tend to go exclusively on the published scientific record. and very rarely make characterizations without a grat deal of evidence. With that thread specifically most people would find a link and throw it out there without examining it. I must have gone through 30 studies before I found the one I cited. I also try not to cite partisan groups. Focus on the Family lately has been strange relaible for this stuff. As I also noted I use whomever as long as the protocol and methodoogy of the resource is sound.
Everyone else was largelycombative and confrontational. They were more guided by ideology than by an interest in finding the truth.
I have the equivalent of WWIII on gay marriage starting here. I would be more interested in a casual debate (via Email perhaps) then to have another person join. I beleive the pro gay marriage position is well represented. Your assessment of my argument thus far however would be welcome. Once again given how adversarial everyone has been I would submit that my conduct as been rather unorthodox. I would assert that my claim thus far has been well established

Ugh. Nevermind. I'll fill this in with something else once I have the time.
Yes, I'm disappointed about the election results. And yes, I'm deeply concerned about a number of issues, human rights among them. I do take some consolation, tho, in the fact that my state went blue, and that Sen. Fiengold, Rep. Baldwin and Rep. Kind were reelected.

Just noticed we share a birthday.
Happy Birthday!
I don't know if you know but it is also bonfire night here in the UK so lots of people will be lighting fires, burning effigies and letting off fireworks on your birthday.
