You guys should know the difference between making an argument and trolling :P.

people running around with posters of aborted fetuses are already undermining their cause as much as its gonna be undermined. it's hard for me to fathom how snarky counter-protestors accomplish anything at all except a produce a sense of self-satisfaction among the snarky counter-protestors and a sense of determined grievance among the original protestors.
Here's a question to those that weren't very fortunate when they were children: Do you collect things? I have a hard time selling stuff that I own... CDs are bad, but games are really worse. I've started to break that habit so I could get some cash to buy a 3DS or something with it.... But it took about 4 years of my wife talking to me about it for it to finally sink in.
I used to but have broken the habit.
For the record, I spent a large portion of my childhood in a single parent home with a father in rehab.
I was very very VERY lucky. He got out of rehab, clawed his way back to the top, and I had a very very very comfy high school life.

I wasn't poor, but if aim able, I am like this. I have literally cried every time we moved house and my stuff has either been thrown away (my parents used to do this when I was younger) or I've been told I have to clear space.
Ditto.
I've never been poor but I can't stand to get rid of anything at all.
When I was a child I would literally cry anytime anything broke. Glass shattering left me incredibly distraught.
Still does.

Since my wife got laid off, she does most of the cleaning, but I still help out.
I had to install a bug screen on our back door last night and fix a door knob on the bathroom, and I do a good amount of laundry.
I cook on the weekends.
The worker doesn't just get to say "olol it's all on you."

I think that's a separate issue. I grew up poor but my parents always stressed less clutter. We didn't have long-term storage where you could take stuff that you owned but didn't use anymore. Seasonal items and keepsakes had places. Old video game consoles were sold shortly after getting a new one. CDs and movies that weren't watched or listened to were give to relatives.
Actually, that kind of media was never much of an issue. We very rarely bought movies or CDs. By the time I was old enough to buy my own CDs, the whole digital thing had happened, so holding on to the physical object wasn't a big deal.

Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.
Are there illustrations or should I bother looking for an audio book version?
There are a few charts and graphs. Not many, but enough.
There are some US maps that show correlation between geographic location and personality traits. Like Washington state has very low on extraversion, San Francisco and New York are high on openness, etc.
Also, there are some places where the author admits that you just can't tell anything about the person. Some traits that simply do not affect living spaces, for instance.
So its ok for me to call southerners assholes?

I collect things but I actually use the things I collect
like, I dig through my old comics with great regularity. I play a lot of old games, and so forth.

Ugh, beginning to think I might need to let the end of Ghostlands stew for ten levels in my quest log. Silly group quests. Also catlords with full-hp linked pets.
There's a bunch of anti-abortion people set up at walkway crossings throughout my campus today. Normally I wouldn't mind as a lot of annoying people tend to stand in those areas yelling about whatever cause they're trying to promote, but these guys have big posters with shock images of aborted fetuses everywhere. It's frankly completely tasteless and offensive.
It really pissed me off, so I'm considering going to and trolling them.
Here's what I was thinking:
Write "FREE ABORTIONS" on a big poster and then go stand near them with a hanger. (Y/N)
Other suggestions are welcome.
That's dangerous, Winky. Who knows how mentally unstable this group can be.
Yeah. Once you're born then the price tag on life is zero for them. Some have no problem with murder.
A group of these people attacked another smaller group of people that were brandishing Pro-Choice signs. I don't think it's worth the possibility of getting hit by something just to make a point.

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Trolling isn't really a good reason to do something stupid or harmful.

just ignore the anti-abortion people
god forbid you feed their sense of entitlement or victimization
they desperately need that, is my read
be fair, Will
sexy maids are actually pretty vanilla for this place
because esses carry too many purposes in english and people get confused
possessives
plurals
contractions
it does bug me though. there was a big cloth sign on a building down the street that said:
"CONDO'S FOR SALE"
and i was like "hey, it looks like Joey Condo is selling his place!"
Ditto.
