1. Is it a normal cross section of Americans in terms of religiosity?

2. Have you heard porn actresses laugh at the notion that they’re all porn stars. Every time i hear a reference to a porn actress she is a star. That would render the word star meaningless.

If that is the case it behooves you to understand the legal issues.

If the company fears liability you may get some relief.

good suggestion Tom…when ya gonna go anti-big bang? Gonna trot out the big crunch?

Reports of Pope’s absence can neither be confirmed nor denied.
What can be confirmed is Troublemaker Tom is in the house.

Strega, that is a winning first line for your novel. The reader is immediately intrigued.

Does this site allow one member to block another?

Ivy, start with HR. Ask for a new mentor. You can indicate that it is a matter of interpretation whether your mentor is inappropriate/asshole or you have some gut reaction that others do not but you need a new mentor as the current guy is affecting you personally.

If you don’t succeed that way in getting a new mentor then confront the mentor…[Read more]

Unseen, ya gotta stick to questions from within the delusion if you want answers. Prophecy as a philosophical matter will never stand up to scrutiny. It is worse than Pascal’s wager. I think deep down Michael knows that.

Correct me if i am mistaken Michael.

Michael, is this confirmation of prophecy?

No, Unseen, they’re not on a par.

I think you can make same claim about authors as composers and artist…oh and perhaps scientists. However sexism throughout history of western civ is so outstanding that the only fair comparison is between contemporary artists, composers, authors and scientists.

Unseen, how about Georgia O’Keefe?

A lot of what you point out is a result of opportunity.

Channeling Simon…one unique feminine quality is: Does my ass look big in this dress?

Simon here is my guess.

If we are born tabula rasa then the ills of society are attributable only to the external circumstances. Once having identified the bad actors it is easy to know where to lay the blame.

Secondly if we are not biologically driven even one damn bit then equality is achievable if only we can alter the power structure.

It is a nature/nurture issue. And wow it is tough to allocate the influence of the two drivers. Sam Harris has a great recent podcast with a behavioral geneticist who asserts that anatomy is not quite destiny but genetics play a very strong role in human behavior. That view is unpopular with far left thinkers. One of the factors that always seems…[Read more]
