Hello everybody, I play a HUMAN on TV...

And advertisers are only equal to their advertisements. And do not try to school me about my confusion, because I WILL have confusion. But I also create software for a few (aka 3) of the largest companies in the world. So STFU, child.

If by big in a couple of niches and by narrow you mean very very deep, then OK. you do know what money is, right?

And you are not well thought out, and thankfully not a political cause.

Me either, but I just did.

I got 200K to blow. Wanna patrol back?

Basically, the minimal things that life requires are,1) an energy differential into which it can pump "work" and create an environment where entropy can locally decrease, 2) mathematical combinations of participating elements (which may be amino acids, or shit that we don't have a clue about) that can exploit these energy potentials and 3) the likelihood that they will at some point reproduce themselves and eventually exhibit selection for better forms of what they reproduce. We should not presume to know all of the forms that that can take, because the math says that we don't know even a small part of it.

Good point. The stick and the hole. GOOOOALL!! (She'll say something similar I assume.) XX chromosomes are delightful, when used in delight, and they have brains too, sometimes.

But at least to some extent, sex IS a "stick and ball" game.

I beg to differ. The example that I meant to portray is that any man, any father, with any sense, does not beat his children. Most fathers have no desire to do so anyway, 'cuz your kids are the best thing you ever did. I meant that that child abuse is not acceptable within society, and it might be met with one's own severe punishment, despite one's arrogance and vitriol. And "within an inch of your life" does not mean that you are beaten to death. It does mean that you know not to beat your kids again.
