| 1 | They *are* going to find him, no use hiding him in my house. I'd walk him back over, as well as offer to call a good lawyer for him. | What would you do... ? |
| 2 | In the interim until you find a job, you might want to check out sites like elance.com or guru.com for contract work. A lot of the big financial companies also have trouble keeping editors on staff because the crap you have to edit is so fudging boring (I know, I did it for three painful months before my current job); you might give those a try as a short-term solution. | Tell us about your day. |
| 3 | Evolution should be taught in science classes; creation should be taught in social studies as one belief some people hold. | Do you believe in evolution or creation? Which should be taught in public schools? |
| 4 | Um, people who don't like her may think (like me) that she's not talented. Even if I were jealous of her looks, that would not negate my opinion of her singing ability or her song selection. I don't care if her boobs or real or not real, or if her hair is blonde or brown -- just as I wouldn't expect a fashion model to be able to sing, I don't expect an artist to be a fashion plate. | Would Britney Spears look better if she dyed her hair back to its natural color (dark brown)? |
| 5 | Major layoffs, to the point where we're now sharing office space with another web development company similarly afflicted, and the office is seeming -- um, awfully roomy. Our staff has literally been cut in half, and our co-tenants have been hit even worse. | Has your job status changed in the past three months? |
| 6 | You should call it "My Comedy-Horror Stage Play, Set in a Hotel on the Scottish Border, which Draws Elements from Fawlty Towers and a Variety of Horror Films". Has a catchy ring to it, no? | What should I call my play? |
| 7 | How did this get through? | Kazuu she'h 'ahhar to nu thlep tuku fashi quid''hooorrtrrwww ? |
| 8 | You can grow veggies yourself, even if you live in an apartment. I don't know your climate, but do some research online and you'll find something that will grow in your area on your balcony and/or windowsill. I grew tomatoes on my balcony this past summer, and they turned out far better and far far far cheaper than store tomatoes. Herbs can do well on windowsills. You don't need the expensive potting soil or plant grower chemicals. You can use regular dirt plus any organic materials like eggshells and carrot peels (Again, do research online to find out what balance of nutrients should be in the soil for the the veggies you want to grow). If you have a balcony, your veggies will be away from most animals, but you still need to choose something that birds (and maybe squirrels) won't steal. Don't bother putting netting around your veggies, because in my experience, if birds really want something, they will get it. | What do you eat on a daily basis? |
| 9 | You don't live as a woman, you live as someone who apparently *wants* to be a woman. I realize that it's not politically correct to express any negativity towards "trans-gendered" people, but it really irks me that someone would think they can *POOF* become a woman (or a man, for that matter). Being a woman is made up of a lifetime of experiences that you cannot re-create. It is a certain set of hormones coursing through your body from birth, the way you are perceived and treated by society from birth, the way you develop your self-conception from birth. It is having periods, being aware of the possibility of rape, being exposed to sexism and harassment, and a thousand other challenging things, many of which you cannot possibly experience, ever, let alone day in and day out. It's also awesome "positive" things like being able to give birth, being allowed by society to be more "soft" than men if you choose, and again, a thousand other things, many of which you will never experience, and none of which you have experienced day in and day out for a lifetime. Saying that you identify with your "feminine" side or something like that, I could understand. Saying that you enjoy many of the activities traditionally associated with women, I could understand. Saying that you like dressing in clothes traditionally associated with women, I could understand. But you are not a woman. Being a woman is not an optional activity that one can put on like clothes. Let's put a different spin on this. Let's say I really identify with African-American people, so one day I dye my skin brown, and start speaking black slang. Does that make me African-American? Hardly, and if I tried calling myself black it would be outrageously offensive to those who had no choice in the matter, and have lived their whole lives as black and experienced a lifetime of what that entails. I'm especially perplexed by your claim of being a woman considering the fact that you haven't had your dick chopped off. I hope you are on a waiting list somewhere, because without that, your claim of womanhood becomes even more fatuous. You can "switch back" any time you feel it's no longer fun to play girlie. Ok, that concludes my rant. I've been annoyed that you think you are a woman for a long time now, and it felt good to get that out of my system. | Are you a man or a woman? |
| 10 | Topper, no, I'm a female. But then, you knew that, right? You're just being snotty. I'm quite frankly not interested in your estimable response, which I could have written as THE knee-jerk politically correct response. YAWN. Where is that eye-rolling icon when I need it? | Are you a man or a woman? |
