LawTalkers - Towards A Virtual Williamsburg!

Hot/Smart schools!

Thurgreed, maybe #9 makes you reconsider the hate?

I spend a night each year in the town where Bucknell is and the kids seem not smart and not attractive.

And Liberty, seriously, a smart school?

And Atticus's school is on the list, but he was cute back then, so maybe it's valid?

This list includes Duke and Georgetown. Therefore, it fails.

This is Fusilli. He is nine weeks old today. He is coming home to live with me in about three hours. You guys get to know about this before of all of Facebook does (except for the Happy Global Puli Tales group, who has known about this for awhile).

He was six weeks old when this picture was taken.

This is Celosa with powdered sugar all over her face. She has been told about Fusilli, but I don't think she believes us.

I'll be very curious as to how your occasional kitties react the next time they visit and there's a new puppy in residence.

That strikes the rigorously modern mind as hypocritical, but it's possible to be gay and believe one's sexuality is on the naughty list, no different from wanting to have extramarital affairs but feeling these are religiously prohibited. The idea that orientation is (a.) more structural than mere urge and (b.) eventually trumps belief because "God made you that way" is very recent. God made some people very horny but to a religious way of thinking that doesn't mean he wants you to fuck anything that moves.

A less pretentious person might just have mentioned Catholic priests.

Maybe. I don't claim to understand how less pretentious people think.

ETA I only objected to the implication that gay Biblical Christians are self-hating. It ain't necessarily so, even for Catholic priests. Two kinds of people think a belief in sin necessarily compels the believer to hate: the Westboro Baptist Church and atheists. It's the one thing they seem to agree on. I just find it funny that everyone else is so readily disbelieved when they say "I believe X but I don't believe Y," and that a bunch of people who believe neither X nor Y jump up to assert they're lying about Y.

Plus, the Blazing Saddles "you said rape twice" scene is objectively funny, so he's wrong that "there isnt' really anything funny about rape".

I think we should also make an allowance for Grammy Singer never giving gifts because she was too busy getting raped by Cossacks. But no other rape jokes.

You're confusing Iran with Saudi Arabia, our wonderful ally in the region. Iran has women in Parliament. Iran allows them to drive. Iran allows them to attend universities and become doctors, lawyers, etc. It's our delightful friends in the House of Saud who keep women full-body-bandaged in black veils, and have morality police to beat them senseless if they go to the mall without a familial male companion.
