Well, let's not start a fight over this one. 50 or 42 doesn't make a whit of difference, something smacks me as "out of place" in that scenario, and I'd bring in the the mental heath folks to run an analysis on the guy in question. The operative thought should be here, "Would I behave...

One word: "Greed".

Stevie, Thanks for the rebuttal to Damon. It needed saying, and I've been in a bit over my head with idiocy at work. Extraordinary claims it is said always require corresponding proof, although this is altogether too frequently lost in the moment. I was just happy to have gotten through the day and ...

As I said, aged 3 or 4 is one thing, but 9 or 10? We have to draw the line somewhere. Indeed, and that's where the focus should be -- on what's reasonable and likely to be accepted by all (preferably) or at least most . As far as the hypothetical "situation" above; that was pure hyperbole...

On, "How far will we have gone?", the answer is easy. The extent of the human presence in the universe extends roughly radially from Earth to the locations of the two Voyager spacecraft. This is not going to change, likely in the next several thousand years. Thanks to "human nature&qu...

I think that one problem we're having is that we're having this discussion across multiple cultures and the viewpoints of those cultures. I tend to draw distinctions based on intents. What is the intent of having a child present in an otherwise adult setting? At ages up to about 4 or 5, I can't real...

Sometimes humour is best delivered subtly. It's more lethal that way,

It's attempting to recall a fantasy past that never existed in the version that's portrayed for the "little people" to believe -- and since nobody here actually reads history and bothers to scratch the surface they believe unquestioningly and the cycle perpetuates itself. In the middle of ...

Offhand, I'd not reference sources like TikTok for advice on social etiquette because (1) it's run from afar in China, (2) is absolutely "current" (and has all the problems with laxity that "currency" has in matters like this), and (3) may not have any actual backing in culture, ...

One answer, of course, is "Yes, of course it's possible, in the same way it'd be possible if one was Islamic, Jewish, a Jedi, or a Buddhist, or of some other faith." However, the answer that actually makes sense for the modern realm is to toss the question aside with the force and power it...

No I am not aware of any boys in skirts, but it may have happened, I am only there from time to time in my role. I believe the girls now wear shorts when they want, which was the main driver of the change in policy. Of course not, because "Men, and boys, do not wear skirts.". Call it &quo...

It's a sneaky use of words "men dont" that keeps men in their place. There's a reason for one of my favourite cracks being, "I may have been born at night -- it just wasn't last night." I've circled our "day star" more than a few times, and some of the memories gained ...

I think it all comes down standing up for yourself. Standing up for yourself is easier said than done for some. It's easy when you are big and bad, not so easy when you are small or you have a lot to lose. That's a decent start on the general issue. I have no problem with standing up to perceived p...

I appreciate that peoples circumstances are different. There's no law preventing men from dressing however they want. I know I'm stating the obvious. However, pointing up that the unwritten laws can be a Hell of a lot more pernicious ones than the ones represented in screed are (1) uninterpretable ...

What I do know is that a number of posts have disappeared from my "Mouse at work and play..." thread where I was discussing with crfriend the relevance of blue and yellow Snow White colours in the outfits we had both worn. I posted a picture of these colours being used in London for other...
