anybody knows french?

Only the last line is French. Unless you've spelled things wrong, the rest isn't. I'm sure of this, I speak French pretty well. Not 100% fluently, but I can get by. "Bella che fal" is I think Italian. "Bonita, Bonita, que tal" is I'm pretty sure Spanish. "But belle" is one English word...

Have you been to a strip/nudie bar?

27, male, and ayup. You need to get drunk. A strip club isn't a place to get your rocks off; they're there to have a drunken, debauched time with your friends while a bunch of naked women are around. I've gotta say, either go with a group of guys who are experienced, or go in a group with...

Evolution...

Damn, a thread in P&N that is a good read from beginning to end. This is a first. Moonie: Brilliant. Not the best argument for evolution, but a great observation on the human condition: sigged. Charlie: You said exactly what I would have said (had I not been too lazy), only better...

Religious People: What do you think of televangelists?

Umm. . .wouldn't this support Rip's position that "some are good and some are bad?" *Rip, dude, we may actually be on the same side on this one! I'm stunned! Apart from that one point, however, I question the validity of your previous post. Comparing commercials to the appeals...

Balanced media coverage ?

Umm. . .I don't know what to say to that. When it talks about international issues, it tends to have a bias towards the reccommendation that these countries cut their social program budgets in order to satisfy the international investment community. It does so even w/r/t those countries where...

Balanced media coverage ?

Try "The Economist." It has a right-wing economic bias, but it is quite open with the fact that it has a neo-liberal bias. On social issues it has a slight liberal bias, but more from a position of Libertarianism than anything else. It opposed the Iraq war, but just by a hair, and it...

Paying for "government" vs. paying for goods in the private sector

Dissipate, that was a weak response. First, you pose a question that was framed poorly. Then, you just snort at the best response; you didn't even put forth an argument. You're slipping, man. When a radical position is proposed, it beholden on you to put forth an argument. You are...

Is this sexual discrimination?

100 years ago the same rationale was used w/r/t medicine. Now, more women then men are graduating from med school. The variance of abilities among individuals is much greater than any gender-based tendencies. Even if on average women aren't as good at something then men, applying that bias...

Is this sexual discrimination?

A lawsuit is a bit much, considering no real harm was done. A letter to the dean might be in order, since that is definitely inappropriate, unprofessional behaviour.

Paying for "government" vs. paying for goods in the private sector

Dissipate, Your model falls apart if you abandon the idea that government is there primarily to provide a product.

Be Careful What You Do on a Plane...

OK, I think i've got it. Your wife's a flight attendant. She works with a gay guy. This guy picks up a passenger and gets down a mile high. So she yells about it through the airplane? Damn, she is so not cool. Getting action from customers is the sacred right of anyone who works with...

Do government employees earn their living?

I can speak only for Canada, but up here civil service jobs arn't that great money. The workload is reasonable, though, and the benefits and pension are great. Much better packages than what many get in the private sector. But the average salary is lower for people with comparable...

An employer has no right to dictate what an employee does in their off hours, unless it affects work performance.
