And what might it be reserved for?

I didn't read anything in this thread,. but I'm absolutely certain it's all kosher.

Vod (who's Vod btw?), you ruined my life, and spoiled my marriage. My sex life is fucked and it's your fault.

My kids hate me, and they say (in their horribly contracted text-spaak) that you put them up to it.

I thought I could get some relief by going fishing, but now I can't catch anything. You bastard, you even spoke to the fish...wtf.

My health was perfect until I read about you, and now I have night sweats and I can't get it up. (see marriage). My hair also seems to be growing the wrong places. You abused your mod powers to PUT IT ON MY BACK YOU BASTARD.

I made toast this morning and it burnt. NOT (and I must stress this!) because I forgot I had toast on and went for a lengthy dump with the Crosaire (google it). But because you neg-repped my toaster. I mean, the fucking thing was 9 euros from tesco, so I guess I can't expect top-line security. Still....why did you hack my toaster?

Absolute bastard.

Ist.

Reading that one actually left me in tears several times because of my own awful experiences in school. I also recommend Ken Robinson's work, here's a taste: http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_changing_education_paradigms

As Pink Floyd so aptly portrayed the objective - Bricks in a wall

Yes John Gatto is great

Also of interest is trivium education http://www.triviumeducation.com/

Well, BBC isn't very reliable but they wrote the opposite: "Prosecutors said there was no evidence of a political or religious motive to his actions, and no suicide note was found." But they wrote about some torn sick notes in his apartment what suggests that he wasn't fit for flying.

We are willing to pay any individual *$250,000 if they can produce empirical evidence which proves that Jesus is not the son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Creation Science Evangelism founder Kent Hovind has a cool quarter of a million smackers on the line for “anyone who can give any empirical evidence (scientific proof) for evolution.”

He could never come to earth and talk to people because he would lose his mystery.

Kind of like the first time your girl farts in front of you and you realize rainbows and sunshine isn't the only thing that comes out of that ass.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in reference to the Babel fish:

Now it is such a bizarrely improbably coincidence that anything so mindbogglingly useful could have evolved by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.


The argument goes something like this: “I refuse to prove that I exist,” says God, “for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.”


“But,” says Man, “the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn’t it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don’t. QED.”


“Oh dear,” says God, “I hadn’t thought of that,” and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

The photos were good once again, however the song just didn't work for me. I'm not much of a Rihhana fan so that probably doesn't help


Pertaining to your previous video, If you could upload that song to dropbox as you mentioned that'd be great.

I think you mean suicide girls ?

BTW i think you mean to say it was profitable for whoever photoshopped their btc address on her

The news report says they found "an item of significance" in the guy's apartment.

It will all come out within a few days.  Obviously, it's impossible to suppress his religion and personal life since his name is known.

Wow.  Why is overriding this even an option?   

What a terrifying last few minutes for the passengers.

Well,  she has only been here 7 days.  She is leaving Monday for a 55 day "Contiki" (aka trip around the USA on a bus) then returning at the end of May for 5 more weeks.

When she asked to stay I just figured she would expect to do her own thing most of the time.  She came with very little understanding of LA.  Our transportation system is not the best.  It is hard to get around on public transit.  Also, going places alone is not much fun and I wanted to make it more enjoyable for her.  We offered Disney because we do have passes (purchased when another cousin came last June) and figured it would not cost us much more than a little time to go there, and we tried to make it on our terms by stating we did not want to stay all day.  But it is just the little ways in which the manipulation happens that catches us off guard.  At lunch today I should have said, "I thought you were paying?"  But that feels so rude to say that.  I feel like in some ways it is just better to be the bigger person and then next time when she asks for me to go out of my way I will now suddenly be busy.  She wanted me to drive her all over the place to see some places her beloved "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" show was filmed.  (I have never watched a single episode and I cannot fathom why anyone in their right mind would be obsessed over it but who knows.)  She will need to find a way to go on her own?  Or perhaps pay for gas if I decide to be nice?  I don't know.  I think the worst part for me is her claiming how poor she is then wasting money left and right while we are struggling to have extra expenses thrown upon us by her pressuring us to do things.  I think that is what gets me the most annoyed.  I know that everyone has different priorities but it feels manipulative to say that, then suddenly change when she is here.
