Comment Re:parts of that seem ok to me (Score 1) 488

I was amazed to learn that a good percentage of teen girls think that when a woman stands with her feet together, her thighs shouldn't touch. Why?

News flash: they shouldn't quite. Especially while wearing shoes. Also, dat gap.

And, even worse, most of them thing Marylin Monroe was fat!

Another news flash: there were times in her career when she was distinctly overweight. Or pudgy. Or fat. Or whatever you want to call it. I call it overweight.

Comment My room is already lit by LED light: (Score 1) 529

The cool blue glow from the computer screen and keyboard backlights. (Keyboard dims on inactivity - such as when I have a movie full-screen. It'd be nice if they'd open the driver to that so that the movie player could control the keyboard backlight, but I can't complain too much.)

Yeah, there are a few CFLs hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the room, but I rarely turn them on. I'm not sure if one of them works (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't). I try to just avoid turning them on because short on-off cycles are hell on CFL bulbs.

Comment Re:Same for sex (Score 1) 343

Let's read that article:
Catholic: no artificial contraception, but allows natural family planning (ie. no nookie while ovulating)

FWIW I've met Catholics who taught against all forms of "perverted" sex, where "perverted" means "not for the purposes of procreation".

So, according to them, that meant beastiality, pedophilia, homosexuality, masturbation, and contraception, including what you referred to as "natural family planning". Basically, to summarize their position, if you're having any form of sex without the express intent of making a Catholic baby, you're perverting God's design for sex.

Comment They didn't "kill his dog" (Score 3, Informative) 367

They killed one of his eleven dogs (three of which attacked them). They also arrested three of his four security guards for not having the proper license to work as private security in Belize.

But hey, the more I read about the guy, the more I dislike him.

He created the McAfee antivirus, which alone is enough to take pleasure in his misfortune.

He has a 17-year-old girlfriend. Don't get me wrong. I think it's perfectly okay for a 66-year-old guy to have a 17-year-old girlfriend, as long as 66-year-old guy is me, when I'm 66.

He fled the U.S., tried to renounce his citizenship, etc. etc. etc. to escape from 5 civil suits that have been brought against him.

He moved to some third-world tax haven country where he thought the U.S. wouldn't be able to reach him (or his money).

He greased a few palms like he was supposed to do, then he got uppity and decided he wasn't going to give this one gentleman any money because, you know, he'd already given a million dollars to the police department.

He has ELEVEN dogs. In most cities in the U.S., that itself would be illegal. He hired four security guards, 3 of whom were unlicensed.

And then when the shit hit the fan, he started crying to the American Embassy to get rescued. Excuse me? Is he an American citizen or isn't he?
