given birth after being kept on life support for three months to give her fetus extra time to develop. The way I see it, this could also be read as saying that, at the time 3 months ago when the mother was kept on life support, her child was a fetus. It says nothing about the mother "giving birth to a f

Then let me appologize for that remark. I either was not thinking, or half crocked! In either case it was not my place to tell you to shut up, and for that I am sorry. Apology accepted. I really didn't think much of it, and I think I managed to answer in a rather hasty and half-crocked manner myself, s

I wonder if I was the one that told you to shut up. If so, I was out of line. It was you, but don't worry about it. Like I said, we argue here, we agree there. It's all good. You, probably more than anyone, reaffirm my belief that intelligent debate is still alive and well in this world.

You're right, it doesn't. However, I'm not paying for a ticket to a comedy show so that I can listen to the performer tell me how horrid Dubya is.

The panda story is referring to a foetus/baby that was in the process of being born. The human story is referring to a developing foetus, in the months prior to birth. After re-reading the two headlines, I see Champas's point here...although I would really need to read the whole article to be able to g

"Rapidly do something weird to hurt others" Hmm...rapidly do something weird...to hurt others...I think he's setting you up...this is rather broad...encompasses everything from scratching someone with a stiff toothbrush to shaving tiny Stars of David into someones hair while running back and forth in front of them, belting out a Dido medley and berating them for their choice of fruit snack... "Rapid kick" Also sounds li

I'm far too competitive to ever use anything that would give me an unfair advantage over my opponents and colleagues. Competitiveness is a strange thing, because it is, in my estimation, the thing that leads these athletes to use steroids, while at the same time the thing that keeps me from it. The way I see it, competitiveness can make you so blind to all but winning that it can drive you to cheat. At the same time, and as is my case

Link For those of you who want to check out the link, there's a picture of the guy I will be talking about. If you don't care about visual aids, don't bother going, as I'll be summarizing pretty completely here. In Japan, when political people want to jockey for political positions, it appears th

Since it appears that my last article has gotten me into some hot water with some of the people here, let me just state, loudly, clearly, and definitively: I LIKE IT HERE!!! I like blogging here.

The second headline appears to have been written by some sort of lower life form anyways. What the hell is "robbed of consciousness by a stroke."??? And "cancer-ravaged"??? How about just "A woman, rendered comatose by a stroke and also afflicted with cancer, has given birth..." and so on. Do we really need to be told that cancer ravages or that strokes can rob you of your consciousness. I think we're smart enough to realize how serious her situation w

The whole concept of an "official" language seems asinine to me, simply because its plainly obvious that English is the official language. You don't need bureaucratic time wasted to establish it as such. If English was not the the official language, this plan would not be described as "revolutionary" or "cutting edge" or whatever other garbage they used to describe it. That being said, this "plan" is about the stupidest thing I've heard about

Phil, if you can't see the difference then you're either being deliberately obtuse or you are under the opinion that history and past behavior means NOTHING. Even in a court of law, past record is considered prior to sentencing. Is that bias too? Well said, but even after past histories are taken into a

Philomedy set this all up with a false premise - that Zink was banned because of language used once while Baker's was ignored, when that was not the reason by a longshot, Karma's reference to the language notwithstanding - apparently for the sole purpose of further baiting Baker on behalf of his buddy, Myrr.

And yes, Phil, I did see you admit that there was more to what you saw than was originally apparent to you, but you still allege bias at least on the point that dabe was disciplined for the bad language and Baker was not.However, you dont know what Karma may have said to him about it elsewhere, right?
