Amazed at no FPP on McCain's epic gaff
You bring up an important point. I would not have sex with Cindy McCain. And there is very little on earth I would not have sex with. Very little. Hillary during Bill's tenure: sure. Laura: okay I can do that. Michelle: no question. There hasn't been a first lady that I would not have sex with since Barbara Bush. Do we really want to go back to those days? Think about it America.

Oh shit. I forgot we aren't supposed to talk about whether we would have sex with a woman or not. My bad. Women should be judged on their accomplishments and just because a woman is in the public eye does not mean that she is fodder for a bunch of sweaty nerds to debate on whether they would or would not have sex with her. Sorry everybody. I just forgot. Comment withdrawn.
On preview, well now that I have been called out on it I don't feel like apologizing anymore.

There has already been a thread about whether other mefites would or would not have sex with me, and the general consensus was no.

Sorry again about starting off the Cindy McCain fuckability talk. I realized it was a stupid and clichéd comment right after I made it, but you can't take it back once its said. I was on the wrong side of the thin horsing around/assholery line.

For the anti-OMG HER HEALTH people: 1 in 4 teenage girls in the U.S. has an STD. You don't have to have unprotected anal sex orgies with Brazilian tranny hookers on a daily basis to get an STD. If this person's ex-girlfriend has picked one up since they last dated, which is not inconceivable or even unlikely, then he could have contracted one by sleeping with her.

Your unborn child as produce
My wife signed up for the BabyCenter e-mails during our recent pregnancy and they were similar to this and would say "Your baby is the size of a kidney bean" or "Your baby is the size of a rutabaga" so we got in the habit of calling the baby by that name for the week when it was valid. Instead of referring to the baby by her name or as "the baby" or "the fetus" (or "the parasite" as a friend of ours did) I would say "How is the kidney bean... [more]

Ex-criminal thinking of committing new crimes.
My proposed plan of action is to 'target' Top 100 CEO's and the like, sending them a 'teaser' package pointing out some of the obvious, yet specific to them, risks to their current life security. This package would ideally prompt them to contact me for further, in-depth security consulting.
This package would prompt me to contact the police.

I guess that I should add to my previous comment that I think that it is great that you want to use your past experience in a positive way, but that you may wish to channel that desire into working for an established security consulting firm, rather than acting independently, because an existing company would have relationships with clients already established and can avoid a sales pitch that looks like a shakedown for protection money.

Environmentalism Borders On Authoritarianism
I like how he complains for the majority of the article about infringement on individual liberty, but then says that the most glaring example of this trend is a plan to regulate industry. So, is he suggesting environmentalists use moral suasion on industry to prevent them from polluting?

How can I make time slow down?
There is a character in Catch-22 who believes that time passes quickly when you are having fun and that it crawls when you are bored, so in an effort to live as long as possible, at least subjectively, he attempts to stay as bored as possible at all times. I was trying to find something about that online and came across this article. Here are some relevant quotes:

Dude, fake an illness. It works every time. "Ugggh. I'm too sick to {insert expensive stressful activity here}. It must have been something I ate. Oh god! You all go on ahead, I am just going to go back to sleep and maybe I will feel better when I wake up." Wait till they leave and then go sit by the hotel pool and read. Faked illnesses are so key to interpersonal relations that they should teach that shit in schools.

it's opt-in, and sufficient social or cultural pressure on folks to not do that opting short circuits the fairness right there.
Agreed. That was my first assumption about Miko's comment, that negotiation was inherently unfair because women are raised not to negotiate, but hydropsyche then said that the real reason is that women are treated differently when they negotiate. That is why I think that the solution is to treat people equally when they... [more]

Yes if you did away with competition and the state set wages that all employers had to pay then nobody would be paid more or less based on their skills or ability and that may decrease instances of men being paid more than women.

Okay, there's irreplaceable and then there is a person who comes out on the better end of a cost-benefit analysis when their employer asks herself "What would cost more? Replacing this person (advertising, training, etc.) or just giving them the 5% raise they are asking for?" Yes anyone is replaceable, but some employees are worth more to their employer than their current wage and some applicants are worth more than the advertised salary. Negotiation is not just asking for more money,... [more]
