News that makes us laugh, cry, or both

I don't think its an extremist kind of thing. It is probably just something of a tradition and any attempts for johnny law to reach into people's bedrooms does seem threatening.

If someone says no, they said no. There's no reaching here, there's granting of a right not to be assaulted.

Marriage is to grant rights to another, not to take away your own rights.

To complete my random newswhoring; we dirty Atheists are clearly making supersecret moves to offend the Christians and Jews.

Well if we are bringing Pharngula into it: Most recently I liked: "No you can't criticize my religion, it's unamerican! Christian Nation! I can't hear you!"

My favorite part is the part where he pretend Showtime hates catholics because they let a show with seven seasons criticize the vatican in the seventh season, but show an entirely different show that likes protestants.

Hmm, let me go through the last 6 seasons and see if I can find Penn and Teller criticizing protestants...

Oh look, Season 1 has creationism, season two has the whole bible, season three has family values. Wow, it's almost like they hate all you christians, dick face.

My sister went to christian camp, I went to a secular camp... Which meant a camp at a university instead of in the woods. Alas, not as exciting, but I did get to play with a brand-new PCjr and an ancient Moog. Oh, and walk on a glacier!

Not my experience of marriage. There's a good reason why I refuse to even consider marriage ever again.

I never new camp was a big religious issue. I went to a christian... what was supposed to be a christian camp and found all of the same hatred for other people there as I did in school. Nothing very christian about it other than a prayer service here and there...

Someone needs to point out the correlary of "My body is my spouses, my spouse's body is mine" thing... the fact that if that's true then when a married couple has sex, they are masturbating, which is forbidden by the bible. Hopefully (though not bloody likely) that will get the Christians to change their minds on the thing...

MGuy · Post by **MGuy** » Wed Aug 19, 2009 11:38 pm

That will never fly as a good excuse cause that would be asking them to stop having sex at all.

that's kinda the point

Well fuck, I want to know if their wife called them up right 10 minutes before they were supposed to vote and said they wanted to have sex, would they go have sex "whatever the circumstances" like they said married people should?

That way they would have to at least admit they are chauvinist assholes who think they are better than their wives, not just pretend to be making a statement about matrimony.

Shoddy reporting, doesn't even mention what edition they were running.

I am going out on a limb and going to blame 4e though, since he apparently is pleading not guilty and 4e could lend credence to an insanity defense.

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't watching you.

Yeah, Flash is now disabled by default on my machine. I have not missed it, though I have been told by a couple sites that their flash cookies aren't working. Alas, I don't really care.

I only turn it on in specific instances, by clicking on the frame when I want to view something.

Malians protest equal-rights bill for women

Here's the part that made me laugh and cry simultaneously:

BBC, quoting a leader of the anti-equality movement wrote:"It's a tiny minority of women here that wants this new law - the intellectuals. The poor and illiterate women of this country - the real Muslims - are against it," she added.

If only all religious fundamentalists were this honest about what they want from their followers.

There is now an unofficial Twilight dildo...

it sparkles and retains heat and cold... for that... authentic experience...

Maj · Post by **Maj** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 6:55 am

The product page for that is actually remarkably clever.

There's nothing particularly special about that other than color and name, though. Tantus has other products that are also colored, the same approximate shape and size, the same material, and that also sparkle. The way it's being sold (web only, pre-orders, limited supply) seems more like a test to see if there's a market out there for future products.

My question is... How does Robert Pattinson feel about the 6.75 inch length?

Well, since that would place him roughly 1.2 inches longer than the mean, he should feel flattered.

I had heard somewhere that 6" was the mean. Or 5 and a half. Or 1-2" in [insert name of country you wish to insult].

Then again, I didn't then follow up with research, as I don't intend on it ever being relevant. But clearly this is why I'm not that good at measuring stuff without a ruler - I can't picture a cock and say "About that long!"

Note it down: penis-obsession helps with Warhammer.

Wow. I had no idea that 5.5ish was the average penis size. Interesting to know.

Count Arioch the 28th · Mon Aug 24, 2009 12:34 pm

5.5" is about right. They also found that blacks are bigger (by about 0.1" on average), and asians are smaller (by about 0.2" on average). However, although size queens exist it really matters less than men would assume.

Every woman I've been with said I was too big for them. Also, I suffer from delayed ejaculation and generally take hours to climax. Which means I can believe that you don't need to be hung like Godzilla and last for hours, an average guy is enough for most women.
