  • Up Front: Actors Don't Hunt in Packs,

    But I do resent mightily being shamed about my modesty.

    Thank you Tracy, that is exactly the point I'd intended to make earlier but sort of forgot to say. My modesty is something I value highly about myself, I really like it. It is both fundamental to, and illustrative of, my personality.

    ...it comes from a place of love.

    We know :)

    Now - does anybody have anything about the criminal justice system in the 18th century that they'd like to share? You have until 9 a.m. Monday.

  • Up Front: Actors Don't Hunt in Packs,

    Jackie stop that at once! Of course you should be proud of what you've worked for.

    I have a particular fondness for the word administratrix, as in:
    Mrs Skin
    Administratrix
    Estate of H S Devoir

    It's cleaner and more strict than dominatrix, and probably wears a tailored shirt in a narrow sky-blue stripe. It may use wooden rulers.

    Not that I've spent any time thinking about this.

  • Up Front: Actors Don't Hunt in Packs,

    I'm with Islander. I really like my body, no shame at all there, but I'm an intensely private person. I probably wouldn't actually get changed in the toilet, but it would cross my mind.

    Far as I'm concerned there's only limited classes of people I share my body with, and if you're not in one of those categories then I don't want you to see it. And I'm pretty happy with that.

  • Up Front: Disunited,

    "You used to bully me a lot."

    High five, lady. That's awesome.

    It's not in the least reprehensible to call someone out on their crappy behaviour. And you did it without roundly abusing her, showing more self-restraint that I'd be prepared to attribute to myself in such a situation.

  • Hard News: The next bylaw will ban irony,

    And now, on day one, some thicko from The Tribesmen has set himself up for a court case that will test the bylaw against the Bill of Rights. Way to make bad guys look like good guys.

    Did I miss something here? Russell, did you just say that the Bill of Rights should only apply to good guys?

  • Hard News: Another entry in the Public…,

    Homeopathy can be quite effective with fears, phobias or addictions.

    I would expect something that works entirely on the placebo effect to be most efficacious with mental conditions.

    Stephen, not understanding a mechanism is not equivalent in science to having disproved something. There are studies coming through that provide small amounts of support for homeopathy's effectiveness. New Scientist has a few articles.

    Often these studies haven't been reproduced, or where they have there's negative or inconclusive results so it's hard to say that the evidence is building. But that's true of any area of scientific research. Getting to an absolute truth is generally a VERY slow process in science. Evolution, for example, is still a theory - of course the evidence for it is substantial.

    I also note that addictions are often physical changes in the brain.

    Is the internet flammable?

    Meanwhile, the French media remain tactful and restrained.

  • Up Front: I Love it When a Plan Comes Together,

    Yesterday the homosexual spirit was Talisker, at the Matterhorn.

    (I sometimes wonder if I'm a leetle bit butch-er than I think I am).

  • Michael Jackson: A Life?,

    All his dreadfully unnecessary surgical alteration seems even more awful when you see how beautiful his brother is.
