I like Angelina Jolie and Uma Thurman; i'd put them on the good list anytime. Pam Anderson may have been cute once but now she is the archetypal surgery-enhanced bimbo. And why did anyone ever like Anna Nicole Smith?? Oh yeah, one more for the bad list: Melanie Griffith. Ig. And Famke Janssen (Jean Grey in X-Men) is another one where I don't understand why people would think she's all that. Although at least she doesn't grate like Julia Ro

Well, first of all I've never watched the whole thing, and secondly no, in fact that is one of the movies in which I would say she was the worst thing about it and part of the reason WHY I've never watched the whole thing.

That kind of mentality is what turned me away from Christianity in the first place. Christianity hardly has exclusive rights to that brand of indoctrination....

Oh yeah, you also need to use the --force switch. That'll force the compiler to produce a functional executable.

I don't think it's fortunate for your sister at all that everyone else in your family is willing to support her in her bad habits.... I fully agree with your position.

And Hitler WAS a genius, he could not have come into power and done the damage he did if he were a moron Here I disagree completely. Certainly Hitler was not mentally retarded. Most likely his intelligence was somewhat above average. But to call him a genius solely on the basis of his political and g

Then too, some people naturally take conflicts more seriously than others. Little whip is, I think, a prime example of someone who thinks very little of engaging in a "flame fest"; as she says, she's laughing while making sure she gives back harder than she gets. Also, her natural writing style simply appears more confrontational. Others prefer to maintain a higher level of civility and become rather alarmed and/or disturbed when a new round of insu

The Constitution was also written while under the influence of a society where a single religious organization practically controlled the strings of the government using its power to oppress any opposing churches. Therefore it was deemed appropriate to make sure that the government could not mandate any form of religious activity. Now I think that it has been carried much too far; having a cross in the state seal is not "mandating religious a

I don't mean for this to sound harsh, but while you may have been around for a while, you have not been interesting enough consistently enough for me to have formed a significant opinion about your personality. Overall I think you sound like someone who is generally reasonable, but I try to assume that about most people. I expect that most people will agree with just about everybody else on something eventually. It's not at all surprising,

For an appetizer, I always like to go for the mozzarella sticks. Hot, cheesy, gooey, delicious. For an entree, a good steak, preferably a T-bone. The smaller side of the T-bone is the tenderest, most succulent meat in the world. There are too many side items to choose from; so many vegetables taste great when properly cooked. For dessert, though, the cheesecake stands alone. As far as things I eat much more regularly, the pizza

the OED makes no reference to the word "tips" originally meaning "to insure proper service". Anyway, surely it should be 'To ENSURE proper service'. 'Teps', anyone? What's more, I don't "tips" people, I "tip" people. "TIPS" equating to "To Insure Proper Service" is clearly a backronym. And a poor on

1/ abortion. I'm much less certain of where I stand on this than I used to be. I was a pretty solid "women's right to choose" advocate for a long time. But to the "It's my body to handle as I see fit" argument, It's not JUST your body. It's somebody else's body too, which just happens to be inside yours. If you were a landlord and you knew 100% that evicting your tenant would kill them, would you still evict them? Even if you're an absentee l

Cheese curds, the salty, deep-fried nectar of the gods. Ahh, yes. I am looking forward to getting some of those next weekend. In Baltimore, folks tend to say "Wooter" (rhymes with 'footer') instead of water. And they often say "warsh" and "Warshington". Here in Minnesota, a common idiom is "go with", as in "I'm heading out to the store. You wanna go with?"

Granted, Kerry has used his military career as his ace in the hole, but so have many other presidents through history (Kennedy, Eisenhower, U.S. Grant, Andrew Jackson, to name but a few). That is simply the nature of politics. Maybe so, but this is more like his pair of threes in the hole, whereas Kenne

What, Microsoft? Bloated code? IE a resource hog?? Say it ain't so! You should delete or rename the IE executable, or maybe just replace the Mozilla icon with the IE icon so that when you unthinkingly click on "IE" you'll actually get Mozilla. (Actually I like Firefox even better than Mozilla these days.)

Sounds very odd, shades. Jamie, if you took away the colleges, you'd still have "Cows and Contentment"... but yeah, without them I certainly wouldn't bother to go to Northfield. After them the only thing it really has is Jesse James Day. I have seen a bit of sumo wrestling. I liked Akebono and the hawaiian (?) guy whose name I can't recall at the moment.

lifehappens, By all means let your thoughts pour out straight from your head to your fingertips. Just remember that when you're done with your pouring, you need to go back and clean up all the little extra drips and drops that landed in the wrong place before you hit "save" or "post". apdelong, I agree, that would bother me too. That is what's known as a "subject complement", a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb (such
