Struck a bit of a chord for me, too. Nothing like showing off nothing but worst case scenarios and wrapping it in a viciously sexist package to make me want to twig out a bit against rabid anti-religious folks. And I am someone who's near-rabidly opposed to religious organization. That doesn't mean I spew that kind of vitrol out, though. Bloody well unconstruive, it is. If you can't dissuade others from religious leaning, then better to guide them toward the benevolent practice of faith rather than attack and make them react with hostility. As per shit like that, ngh. That's not the face of good faith.

Never disrespect the enemy, for that is the first and most fundamental step on the path of being surprised by them, to one's own detriment. Proper strategy requires you to know both yourself (your position) and your enemy (other positions)... and the latter as you know yourself. Through this, you need not fear the results of a thousand battles.

It's that thing that can get you failed out of a class if you don't pay attention to it. Having one is either a really good or really bad sign. Not having one says either terrible things about the class, or terrible things about the teacher.

Anyway~

If you're not just joshin', some teaches only let you miss a certain number of days (especially if you're lacking a legit reason for it) before they start lopping off chunks of your grade. Attendance policies lay out the details. And peng, just make sure the school itself doesn't have a base one before you start blowing it off

TV evangelical shows. In other room. "The father brings order, the mother brings nurturing *continued bullshit along those lines*"

* Frumple's single-mother gender-equality-emphasis temper goes "snap".

Goddamn things are already a paragon example of the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah, and now shit like that. Wish I could strangle. Wish I could strangle. Fuck pacifism, t'hell with non-violence, these asshats make me want to crush windpipes.

On the bright side, sorta', at least they provide a constant and perfect example of how not to minister. Damned moneygrubbing filth.

I just committed some unforgivable sin when it comes to guns, didn't I.

Not one you really have to care about. For folks that don't actually have much interaction with guns, the difference between the two things is largely irrelevant.

Sorta' like calling a pistol a gun, I guess. One is for fighting, one is for fun, etc., so forth. Normal person probably won't care or know enough to differentiate, and insofar as they're concerned, it doesn't really make a difference.

Human society would be biased towards two sexes since we only have two sexes? 

Pretty sure we sorta' have more than two, actully. The rest are just rare and usually sterile, iirc, or at least have various complications with reproduction. Might be misremembering exactly how those oddities are categorized, though. XXYs and junk, however that goes.

It's mostly the addict part, I think. There's an assumption that anyone who would chemically addict themselves to a harmful substance for any reason but medical necessity is, well. Stupid isn't quite the right word, but it's a peculiar sort of short-sighted that would generally preclude concern as to how badly drug X plus drug Y would fuck them up. They're already screwing themselves over, so what's a bit more...?

A different question would be, of the users you do know, do a majority of them actually have knowledge of potentially harmful interactions (especially for reasons beyond unfortunate direct experience)? If not, how large of a minority does? A statistically supported assumption is still an assumption (and able to be incorrect), but if you're looking for a reason why people assume that and most users you know fit that assumption... So far as personal interaction goes, m'self, while I've met a few (willing to acknowledge it) users that are fairly on top of things (to the extent they're able to be), most of the ones I've met are... not quite that concerned, to say the least.

All that's being charitable though, probably. It's most likely an immediate assumption that drug addict == idiot scumbag. Or something. Maybe it's only like that for the ones that get caught, I'unno.

... what if we stitched a bear face back on in its place? Would you be able to *cough* bear that?

Not actually saving money, either. If he was trying to do that, he would have told the meal plan to shove it and scoped out the local grocery stores. Vending machines are overpriced... always.

I'm still not entirely sure how they enforce that mandatory meal plan thing. I dodged it by transferring in as a sophomore (sorta'), but I can't help but wonder what they do if you just say, "No, I don't want to overpay for food. Sorry." I mean... they're still getting the housing cost, after all. Would they really hardball it (losing the housing entirely) if you threatened to house elsewhere instead of paying for the plan?
