yay Calli!
Windsparrow, oh I can barely make it through the Hobbit movies. How funny.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

[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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Right on, Calli!
Despite how much I enjoyed the LotR movies (and I never read the books), I have zero interest in the Hobbit movies. I'd see them if someone I was with wanted to see them, but I wouldn't be the one organizing the outing. And I'm sure I'd enjoy them, but I just have no drive to see them. Weird.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yay, Calli!

Congrats, Calli!

Yay, Calli!
Today was a bit better. I even smiled a few times. And then I ran into a bunch of kids in one of the main streets of Jerusalem, in the center of the city, screaming and chanting in their top of the lungs "death to the Arabs". A bunch of nine year olds. I can't call the police on nine year olds (and I was way too shocked to do anything - and too scared, too). And I gave in on hope for the rest of the evening.
And then I came back home, had dinner, and decided that fuck it, I can't let them win. If I can handle street harassers, I can handle them. There's gotta be a way to get through to them. Or just to make them stop.
Anyway, I'm open to suggestions.

Holy shit. That is horrible.

Our wings are not tired.
With people you know you can argue that two wrongs don't make a right, but with strangers, and crazy kids, it is not really possible.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Mob psych is beyond me. But I can't let groups like these polluting my city with their chants. I just can't. There's gotta be a way, and I've got to be more brave about confronting them.
(I'm now bitterly reminded of a joke. "Let's have the two states solution - in one, those who would like to kill Arabs for being Arabs, and Jews for being Jews. In the other, the rest of us". I'd like that very much right now, thank you).

Shir, I doubt there's an effective way to approach a group of 9 year olds chanting in the street, but kids *are* teachable.
