  1. Not much.
  2. They're all wondering who the chubby, short guy is jumping up and trying to reach my collar.
  3. My favorite Gore - https://www.reuters.com/article/us-gore-arrest/al-gores-son-busted-for-drugs-in-hybrid-car-idUSN0428148420070705
  4. We all know this is the Celeste you're really talking about, chubby.
  5. http://powerfulmind.co/gets-gifts-from-crows/
  6. Pounds zeni, not grams.
  7. And just because the outcome was the way you wanted it doesn't mean it worked.
  8. Too bad it didn't in this case.
  9. I think you're reading me wrong. I'm still not advocating pulling the song. You don't like what someone plays, don't listen to that station.
  10. You mean your cranium, right?
  11. Seeing something that isn't necessarily there. Maybe he just likes spending time with this particular woman and has no malicious intent. Maybe he has that intent. I guess I'm just an optimist that wants to believe in the best in people, despite my own personal experience.
  12. Coming up next on PBS, "Why can't zeni read?"
  13. For me, the argument that this is "rapey" reminds me of the joke about the woman that, on a camping trip with her family, decides to take a break and with a book in hand takes the boat out on the lake. While she is on the lake, she looks up from her reading and sees a park ranger waving her to shore. She paddles in and the ranger, seeing fishing equipment in the boat asks to see her fishing license. She explains that she has no license, and was not fishing anyway, but reading. He counters, "You have all the equipment" and starts writing up the citation. She says, "Well, then I'm going to the cops to charge you with rape". He stammers, "I never touched you!", to which she replies, "You have all the equipment!".
  14. You get it wrong, I'm not a fan of the song. But this is not The Beatles "Run For Your Life" or Little Walter's "Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)" either. Is she saying, "Take me home right now!" or is she saying, "Convince me!". I get the "No means No", and maybe that's the problem - she isn't saying "No!", she's saying "Well, this" or "Well, that". Is there something wrong with just saying "No"? Is it really "progress" to jump to the worst possible conclusion about what is being expressed? Is the problem the attitudes then, or our attitudes now? In a way, your argument that a song might affect the decisions of "impressionable young men" reeks of PMRC.
