'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Eh. My kid will probably grow up believing in the lineage of Slayers.
Hmm. Self-Sacrifice for the good of others. Protecting the helpless (even the ones you don't like) Standing up for yourself. Doing what you believe is right and accepting the consequences of your actions.
Pretty good things to grow up believing in from where I'm standing.
I know people who go to a liberal church, work for liberal causes, live in liberal neighborhoods, only have liberal friends.
Boulder, Colorado can get like this. I have friends (dyke folksingers ferchrissakes) that couldn't deal with the practically intolerant level of "tolerance" there.

And necrophilia. Don't forget sleeping with the dead.

My college could get like this. There were occasions I mused out loud that I'd like to stand in the middle of campus in a girly suit, leather spike heels, full metal makeup, chewing on a bloody steak. Armed. With a gas-guzzling SUV running in the background.
Sometimes it got a bit shrill.
Funny, just realized that of that list, I'm only missing armed & the vehicle. Heh.
The biggest problem I have with Intelligent Design, is how do you prove it? Merely saying that stuff is too complex isn't enough, it must able to be tested.
I believe in Intelligent Design, I just don't believe it's a science. As a matter of faith, it need not be proved by scientific method. It also shouldn't be taught in public schools. And this whole push by the ID community to teach it alongside evolution really annoys me because it opens up religion in general to ridicule. You want your kids to learn religion? Send them to a religious school, or teach them at home.
I'm sorry your work place is getting less fun, sarameg.
There was an editorial in Analog some time in the last 20 years about whether 20th century American culture should apply its ideals of tolerance towards allowing other cultures to be intolerant or whether we should insist on tolerance as a universally desirable good.
