I'm currently trying to 'see' the words in English letters, and it isn't working for me
Hold on, as is Hebrish? Oh, we could totally do that!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I've said it recently on Facebook, but I will repeat it here:
These ultra-rightwingers, who want no government and no taxes, but lots and lots of guns, SHOULD MOVE TO SOMALIA. No government or taxes there, and plenty of guns.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
No government or taxes there, and plenty of guns.
Also no food, schools, or clean water, but hey! Guns!

Hold on, as is Hebrish? Oh, we could totally do that!
Heh. Would it get in the way of learning to read actual Hebrew later? If not, I'm there. Especially if there's an established spelling system I could look up.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
It still irritates me that I can't learn a different alphabet. I'm reasonably clever (and not used to being unable to understand things :P )
My high school French teacher tried to tell me I should major in Russian, compliment from him, as he would occasionally get bored of teaching French and have a Russian class. But yeah, not so much with the new alphabets thing for me. The first one was hard enough.

I don't think guns make people safer, no matter how much enjoyment you get out of them. The statistics just don't bear that out. But damn, they're fun to shoot.
With too many people I've seen, an increase in caliber is inversely proportional to their brains.

I could see this.
Also, I think a lot of people have an inflated sense of how well they'd be able to respond if shooting broke out.
I have yet another favorite de Becker story about guns.
Sometime in the 90s Texas was debating some kind of open-carry law(like the crazy AZ one); De Becker was testifying "Fuck, no," but just for fun he asked some pros why they were in favor.
"Gotta be prepared." they said."You never know when some maniac's gonna shoot up the place."
"So," De Becker said. " I bet you can do the heimlich or perform an emergency tracheotomy too, right? Cause that's WAY likelier in a restaurant than gunfire.(he used a lot more words than that.)
Pro-Gun said "Euw...I'd have to *touch* somebody,or put stuff in their throats...I don't want the responsibility for that!"
De becker said" Ok, so you just want the responsibility of filling them full of projectiles at 100 mph then. good luck with that." and stole a bit of my heart.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Ugh—a "get off my side" moment just happened at work. A coworker forwarded an Obama health care forum invitation, complete with big, red "donate" button on the bottom. I support Obama's attempts to get health care legislation passed, Asclepius knows, but she's sending around official, partisan emails with official, partisan fund raising links included. If a coworker had done that with one of Bush's things (Support the Iraq invation or whatever) I would have been furious. What's more, we're an organization that gets a ton of Federal contracts. We're really not supposed to do that sort of thing.
