Anti-vaxxers are not aware of the harm they are causing
You seriously don't think an anti vaxxer doesn't have the cognitive ability to make the connection that "If my child doesn't get the measles vaccination, he will get the measles"?
If my child doesn't get the measles vaccination, he might get the measles
If my child gets the measles vaccination, he is having poison injected into him
They opt for the possible harm over the definite. It makes a certain sense, from their point of view.
You left out probably the most important part:
If my child doesn't get the measles vaccination, he might pass along that infection to any children he comes in contact with (even passively, measles is extraordinarly contagious) who are too young to have been vaccinated yet. Or elerly people, chemo patients, those with AIDS or anyone else with a compromized immune system.
That's important but it's not most important. Primary motivation of Anti-vaxxers is protecting themselves and their children. They attempt to protect others as well, but this is secondary. A parent's priorities are the safety of their children above all else. Do you have children? Would you put the possibility of someone else being exposed to harm over your own child absolutely being exposed to harm?
Again, I'm not trying to justify what they're doing. What they're doing is wrong. They are wrong. They are harmful. Not evil, though.
Trolls don't guard bridges. It's just that bridges run over water. Running Water is often indicative of a ley line. Ley lines are perfect for exits to and from the Fae Realms. Nice little hidden alcoves under bridges are even better.
I hadn't heard that before. Fits in with the whole "vampires can't cross running water" thing, though.
Is it a 'real' myth, or something out of Pratchett?
It probably is, but I just make this shit up on the fly. Cobbled from reading waaaay too many fantasy novels.
eh, making shit up is far more fun.
I think this may actually have been oWoD's explanation of the stereotype.
I'm trying to remember why the Golden Gate is lousy with trolls in the Immortal Eyes arc... but failing. Boo.
*edit: I'm pretty sure there was a Trod there or something.

hey
for you people who own cats
do you have to constantly push the cat around when it jumps in your lap because it constantly tries to sit on your arms or rub its butthole on you or try to walk on what you're reading or your keyboard?

My older cat knows how to get attention without being a pain in the ass.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

my last girlfriend had a houseful of them, but they kind of kept each other busy i think.

second, it is retarded. it wants attention and begs for petting, but if you pet it too hard, too long, too low on its back, etc. it shortcircuits and like, kicks its legs everywhere and whinges
third, it's an asshole. it digs in its claws, leaps in your lap at inopportune moments, shoves its asshole in your face, etc.
it is the worst, even as cats go. will and i spent most of the long weekend trying to train akira to eat the cat, bronte (we did this when frankie wasn't around)

My cats have never really been that annoying. In fact they've mostly hung out on their own and if they needed something they'd come and the worst they'd do is rub their face into me and purr.
Oh sure if they were hungry enough then one would start jumping on me and get my attention by blocking my view but fuck when I was a kid I did that to my mother and I bet you did too.

All cats. Every one. Yes even that one you were just thinking of that may not do it, that one will too.
I could be sitting there playing a game with one of my cats sleeping peacefully in the bed. It will wake up, stretch, look around, notice that I am doing something and decide that the new mission is to interrupt it.
Also, my cat has signed a declaration of war against my feet. Should they cross the edge of my bed at any time during the evening he has declared that he will engage and flay them regardless of the time of night.
