Meh. Most people aren't as anal as me and probably won't care.

Your sensitivity to the issue has had me order my men to take it easy for the next minute of action. Consider it good karma!

I'm thinking the term "good" maybe should have been replaced with "appropriate." What do you think? :D

Jussi was left out to dry. Poor MAB got one deflected off his foot. The second one I believe was a deflection in front my Recchi. The third one was a puck flipping through the air after he went down to make the save, passing all the Oilers, right onto the stick of Stillman. The 4th one was a dynamite tap with the stick by Doug Weight. The final goal was another excellent deflection by Mark Recchi.

The way I read his words was that certain races/religions/orientations determine how good of a parent they will be. All other things being equal, a child is better off with a mother and father. All other things being equal, a child is better off with parents of the same ethnicity Well, when reading that race, religion, and orientation should be considerations because they certainly are factors that determine how good of a parent someone will be, I didn't really see the link to the next two sentences. Yeah, all other things equal, it's probably best to put a child with parents of the same ethnicity. It looked like you were claiming that "race, religion, and orientation are factors of how good a parent someone will be." In other words, it looked like you were making a claim that the quality of someone as a parent is affected, at least in some way, by that person's race, religion, and sexual orientation. In other words, when I read your post it sounded like you were claiming that, all other things being equal, you could determine the quality of someone as a parent by their race/religion/sexual orientation. I don't disagree that, if everything else is equal, matching people together homogeneously would probably be best. But that's not what I took from your post.

My team got their asses kicked tonight, so I'm misplacing my anger into the destruction of you!

What? In what ways does race determine how good of a parent someone will be? In what ways does religion determine how good of a parent someone will be? In what ways does sexual orientation determine how good of a parent someone will be? And since they apparently do, which race, religion, and orientation is best suited for parenting, and why?

I still believe. I won't stop believing unless the Oilers lose 4. It's just a more difficult hill to climb now.

I don't particularly care what the actual price is.

Because they're seen as just common-law, not married. He was comparing same-sex couples in the UK to common-law heterosexuals, not married heterosexuals.

drinks are priced seperately, so if you order a #1 with a coke you see #1=$#.## Coke=$1.60 (21 oz) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah. I imagine it still comes out to the 4.99 or whatever the heck it's supposed to be though?

The Univeristy Subway marks the wrapping paper with an acronym to identify the sub when it is busy. (And damn does that one get busy!).

Gay Marriage and adoption!
perhaps due to the perceived lifestyle differences? i'm sure there's a study or two around that show the comparitive lengths of relationships between men-women, women-women and men-men. taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think it has just as much to do with the fact that lesbians are much more socially accepted than homosexual males.

Gay Marriage and adoption!
I think the influence of both genders on a child can be overstated. I think it has more to do with the approach to parenting than the actual gender, though I can see your point. In this case though, you'd also have to place additional restrictions on single people wishing to adopt as well, as there would be only one gender in that case as well. An odd (or maybe not) thing, is that I believe it's easier and more accepted for lesbians to raise a child than homosexual males.

If there's one thing I've noticed about people, is that they go through the motions. Most places up sell the combo, so when you ask "Is that just the sandwich for you?" at a time when most people are asking "Do you want the combo?" they'll say yes because that's their expectation. The three subway's I frequent also typically just ask about foot long, rather than asking footlong OR six inch.

I agree. Game 2 is very important as Edmonton is facing adversity. It also will see if Carolina has the killer instinct or not.
