Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

I think the main thing the whole stupid issue illustrates is the problems with using Sharia law (sorry, misspelled) as the law of the land.

Agreed. But I think that it also illustrates the general problem of basing moral judgments on beliefs about the supernatural. That happens in this country too.

What is even happening?

Agreed. But I think that it also illustrates the general problem of basing moral judgments on beliefs about the supernatural. That happens in this country too.

Everyone in the world bases moral judgments on beliefs about the supernatural (because beliefs about the supernatural include those who believe nature is the only reality--that is, that there is no supernatural). The problem is more about basing legal judgments on beliefs about the supernatural, and trying to regulate thought and expression--in this case, those thoughts are opinions on the supernatural.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dunno if I like the logic here. You could also say:

Everyone in the world bases moral judgments on beliefs about the FSM (because beliefs about the FSM include those who believe nature is the only reality--that is, that there is no FSM)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Not buying that at all.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I had heard it was family members who notified the authorities, and in relation to the custody battle.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Theocracy just seems like a bad idea in general.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

A gutwrenching story, also out of Afghanistan, of a girl who was married at the age of four to her 30-year-old neighbor, whose family abused her for the next seven years until she finally fled them in fear of her life.

I'm confusing myself. If I give my notice on Monday, would my last day be April 14th, or would I have to give notice this Friday for that to work?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Just state your last day will be April 14, no matter when you give it.
