The timing could not have been more worse. They're ending Jay Leno's 10 pm night slot just when I'm starting a new psychiatric day treatment that starts earlier in the day than the one I go to now.

It means I'm not gonnna get my daily dose of comedy because I'll have to go to bed earlier and miss the comedy.

Absolute BS. ABSOLUTE BS!

Hulu?

One of the required readings for an anthropology course. This article bothers me for a number of reasons. It is ignorant of the scientific principles sometimes (no, the movement of the egg cell described as "passive" and the movement of the sperm cell described as "active" is not sexist. Anything that uses ATP, such as the flagella of the sperm cell, is considered an "active" cellular process.). It concludes a bias in scientific literature while only examining a handful of papers (yeah, scientific publishing is prolific). There are better places to look for sexism than a description of cellular processes that doesn't need to be anthropomorphized. Lastly, someone was paid for writing this swill.

Sucks, doesn't it?

I feel you. Feminism is stupid enough as it is. Spend some time critisizing it in your review perhaps?

I can't really show my support, but I can tell you I get mad and annoyed from even reading the first couple of lines of that idiot Martin's rambling. And the sad part is, nothing can be done about it.

The only things I have had to eat over the past 48 hours was bacon with BBQ sauce and a packet of chocolate coated biscuits.

I'm not sure if this should be a rave though.

I'll be sure to raise my points at a class discussion.

Thanks for that. So it isn't just me who's bothered by that. I have to tell you, I raged when I read it.

Please do. The world needs rational people, even though your voice probably will thin out in an ocean of feminist rhethorics....

Trust me, every reasonable human being I know in person is sick and tired from feminists "knowing" what society's ups and downs are. It includes both uneducated and educated intellectual groups I participate in. You're not alone, luckily, and I actually became a tad bit glad when seeing a random person on the internet seeing the same problem and becoming annoyed from seeing it.

In AP world I haven't gotten less than a 97 and tomorrow is our midterm, the questions taken from past exams. And now I regret not having studied. And the PE exam will be hard as heck because our coach just let us run around all semester and it's 100 questions on what? Your guess is as good as mine!!
And again with the AP World exam, is it gonna be a general overview of everything or a whole bunch of little details that I might have forgotten!? AND THE NEOLITHIC ERA HAS ALWAYS BEEN BORING TO ME.
I feel like Hermione right now BUT REALLY I'M RON! Because I haven't done very much at all and I want to scream in a British accent and I don't even think you can! I just want to sleep and read Harry Potter continuously. AND THATS ANOTHER PROBLEM!
I read too much Science Fiction like Dragonlance and not enough substantial literature!!!

 

[choxorn]

Dragonlance and Harry Potter are Fantasy, not Science Fiction.

 

[Karalysia]

You must be like 13 or something....

 

[SchoolzSoKewl]

You're right, I'm sorry.

You must be like 13 or something....

Aw, come on. Don't give me that smiley. I'm 15 and I can't help but be a little anxious.
I don't give you smiley faces that roll their eyes and say "Oh what a seasoned cynic."
And another rant, I almost put a comma at the end of my quote because of my Yearbook classes quote format.

 

[Bill3000]

They're children's book, not literature.

 

[choxorn]

They're children's book, not literature.

I was talking about the genre, not the quality of the books.

VCR, DVR, Hulu, or just go to the network sites and watch. The fix is pretty easy.

Yes, yes you can.
And I wouldn't mind.

Now my rant:

I'm out of fags again. This is getting outrageous. This is sheer oppression. The purpose of the government is not to legislate sin. If I wish to poison myself with sweet sweet fag smoke so be it. The idea of a "sin tax" is offensive and patronizing as if the population is incapable of deciding what is best for itself, which is certainely the case for large segments of the population indeed so I guess I support that when it comes to economic arena, but when it comes to personal decesions and matters of the bedroom the government should err on the side of privacy as established in the various contraception cases which are seemingly found in the penumbras of the Constitution. Thus could the argument be made that "sin tax" is unconstitutional?

No it can't because the broad powers of the government to regulate interstate commerce is well established and fags almost certainely fall under interstate commerce. I support this. So I'm not sure what I'm saying at this point. I guess I'm just ranting that fags are expensive.
