I didn't even know what kale was until I looked it up, it looks healthy I now feel like I've got a hairbrush in my guts. More fibre than a jute handbag.

Hey! some swine has nicked my pork chops, and left my kale!

I clicked on it thinking that she was blind and you had some kind of awesome sound-based guidance.

Pork chops, fresh kale, potatoes.

It must be wonderful to be such a collossal buffoon. Like having a fairground in your head. Made of whirling emotions and meat.

"There's going to be cake in this game?" Muahahahahaha!

Since Woldan has been struggling with his rifle I thought I should post the Imperial Infantryman's litanies on the subject: Litany of Unjamming: Spirits of the Machine-God, aid you servant and free his weapon so he may use it to break his foes. Litany of Cleanliness: [when cleaning the outside of the weapon] Let my hand wipe the grime from your perfect form, May you purify with your bolts of light. Canticle of Appeasement: [when stripping the weapon] Be still, spirits, I do what I must, Forgive the intrusion, And give me your trust. Catechism of The Machine [for serious jobs] With your strength you protect me With my care I repair you, With sacred oil I appease you, Be quiet, good spirits And accept my benediction.

Just try it. Mind you I like almost all Portuguese wines. I've never been to the country, but if it's anything like the wine and the women I've known from there it must be God's own.

*still playing DA* Oddly enough, all of those individuals seem to turn out into normal, productive members of society. With sex being a natural part of life, one has to wonder just how much damaging it really is, and how much our own society and teaching/stances are a factor in it. All I can say is that you've obviously not known anyone dear to you who's been raped.

You're going to hate me for banging this drum yet again, but I have to. If a belief that we are the great satan is what motivates them, is it any wonder the smart ones talk when we treat them decently?

I would pay good money to have crescent moon shaped irises.

So if the law is no sodomy, we must assume that is correct? Have another cup of coffee old boy. We must obey it, because we must assume it's the best we've got. But we must also challenge it, because we must assume we can do better.

I've never actually thought about that before, good point. How do these extremists position the afterlife when they convince females to be martyrs? I'm no expert in this area but two theories I know of are: - An ironic urge to be taken seriously and have some freedom. Being a terrorist is the only way to get either in the restrictive worlds the backwoods guys come from - Being the widow of a terrorist. Which means you are frequently on the run anyway, and in need of revenge, and in need of some status to deter 'entitled' holy warriors. The two somewhat inter-relate. Anyone know any other theories?

See point two of my last, Chairchucker. The fact that scientific enquiry is predicated on the idea that all current theories are wrong and should be proven so doesn't make those theories pointless. The law isn't automatically right, but it is the best approximation of right that we have. It has been intellectually and logically tested, and is formulated by our peers (in a coherent democracy) and is therefore most likely to seem just.

The soul of the machine is angry. You should propitiate it using the standard Imperial Guard primer. I'll see if I can find mine in a minute. ~ I don't see there's anything wrong with melkathi looking away like a gentleman rather than skeezing a duration ogle. Of course I can't help having an extremely strong visual memory, either.

Cool. What steam name are you using? EDIT: [sODOFF]Hurlshot.

That last article made me confused and hungry.

That is some good fighting instincts. Just grabs the dude holding her by the balls. Man, what with Raithe's cat, we have a theme going on here.

And in that case, the howling isn't going to end anytime soon. Because, damn, those were his ****ing balls and some things just aren't easily forgotten. This is a good ****ing point. If dogs are a man's best friend, why do we cut their balls off? I don't want to be anyone's friend if my balls are getting cut off as part of the deal.

...And the wine list, please.

In that case I can tell you why he's yowling. He's just realised his balls aren't coming back. He's like "Ay! Mother****er done stole my balls better give them back now! This **** ain't funny! Hey! ****er. You were there. I saw you there. Where the **** are my balls?"

Actually if you recall, there was a Thai politician* who suggested that we - in his view very pacifistically - crop spray the Talibs with pork fat. No one would die, he said, and ultimately it would not be poisonous or harm the environment for very long. Naturally there was a huge hoo hah, and it was declared inhumane . So we threw high explosives, and tiny whickering pieces of steel, at them instead. ~ What I can't understand is the lack of intellectual coherence by Western liberals on these bastards. *rant snipped* *Tinawat Maruekapitak

I simply don't trust skinny women. Never have, never will. I don't mean I only like fatties, but any woman who is too neurotic to eat... *waves arms around like a mentalist* DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

It's a common enough argument to be worth tackling, I'd say. 1) Consent is a defining factor sex, as distinct from rape. If you assume that rape is OK then frankly whatever culture that is can **** off. I am reminded inevitably of Charles Napier's comment when administrator of India [am obliged to wikiquote]: 2) The debate over the age of consent is exactly that, but then so is there a debate on what constitutes murder. The fact that the dividing line can be and often is debated does not mean there is no line. I would say that if anything it makes the prohibition meaningful. 3) The law is a blunt instrument. The age of consent in the UK is 16. It may be that some 15 year olds are capable of making informed consent. Frankly it's scientifically implausible that the transition occurs arbitrarily on their birthday. But the line is drawn so that those who have not yet matured are protected. As an aside, I knew some 19 year olds who went doolali over sex because they still weren't ready. But you can't protect everyone with the law.
