  1. The fact that I commented on your job doesn't make me a homophobe. I merely mentioned the day-to-day realities of your employment with respect to leaks.

    You seem to believe this is some kind of value judgment. Sadly, this says far more about how you view your job (probably in the rest room mirror) than about those of us remarking on the sad life of someone living in an environment where their sexuality is a source of guilt and self-loathing.

    Please try not to take nasty remarks about your sexuality made by those you have just serviced too personally. It's the price of being a conservative, and you'll just have to (cough) suck it up (cough). ;-)

    I'll add my voice to yours on this. My long-time girlfriend sounds a lot like your lady...mostly, we enjoy the same kind of entertainment. However, she doesn't watch any sports at all, and I don't watch the "chick flicks" she enjoys. We're both fine with this situation.

    Several of her girlfriends have either hinted or stated outright that I should be "encouraged" to watch female-oriented movies, usually "so I can understand her better", "so I can be more in touch with my emotions", "so I can appreciate a woman's perspective on the world", etc.

    Name a simple-minded, Oprah-style pop-psych meme, and these women have bought into it. Meanwhile, my girlfriend and I have been together for years, while her friends could best be described as "serial monogamists". They're always on their way into or out of a relationship, never happy alone, and even less happy when they aren't trying to warp their current squeeze into some Harlequin Romance version of the perfect guy.

    For starters, it takes, on average, about 10 years for a person facing the death penalty to exhaust all their appeals. And those typically involve a lot of court time (which costs a lot of money). And keeping somebody on Death Row is more expensive than keeping them in the general prison population. Ec cetera.

    Sorry, I really don't have time for a detailed response (truth, not bullshit), but I looked into this fairly deeply, and just about every reputable study on the subject came out the same. Nobody admits it, but there's far, far more bureaucracy involved in death penalty cases than those imposing multiple consecutive life sentences.

    I guess you didn't know that on balance, it costs more to execute somebody than to keep them in prison for life.

    I don't look down on the USA. I just laugh at it.

    Whenever want to persuade an American to my point of view, I simply start a sentence with "America has the best (fill in anything) in the world". Then I watch as their tiny, propaganda-dulled brains shut down, and they nod solemnly. Then they mindlessly slurp up whatever I present as just a tiny bit of tinkering to make something great even better.

    It never fails.

    Do you speak English? Clearly you don't write it very well. No doubt this is part-and-parcel with your inability to understand science, mathematics or just about anything else having to do with rational thought.

    Just for starters, you might want to review your understanding of the word "theory" as it applies to science. And poseur is a noun, not a verb, moron.

    I agree with you, but I think it will prove to be easier than you believe. They've already sequenced the genome of a lot of mammals, and that's a long first step.
