Several years ago, I noticed something about a patch of skin. I looked it up and asked the dermatologist about it. He, of course, ignored me and the question.
Three diagnoses, two prescriptions and 7 office visits later, he consulted with several doctors around the country.
I had been right from the get go, though he would never admit it.
The Russians had the Great Patriotic War, which was exclusively against the Germans and their western allies. They fought in a theater of World War II. Not until very very very late in the day (August 1945) did they do anything whatsoever against Japan.
The reason they had such massive casualties is because the Soviets theory was that if you threw enough people at the Nazis, the Nazis would run out of bullets.
"unhappy people watch an estimated 20 percent more television than very happy people"
Uh, if it is only a 20% difference, perhaps unhappy people do not have anyone to socialize with during that non-television time of the very happy people. And maybe that's why they are unhappy.
"so I would guess the above is a phrase he habitually directs at a woman he abuses in real life"
Of course you would, as you are a stock example of the misandrist cult.
Pretend that you are not just another man-hating feminist: "He was a perfectly nice kid." But of course you must attempt to humiliate him: "I wrote an equation on the board behind him that he didn't understand." And of course you are the uber-capable, twice as good as any man, blah blah blah woman.
The old school approach was the cumulative final. Girls did poorly on that so research was done on how girls could do better. What they found was that girls would do better (and boys worse) when there were more tests, more quizes and more homework. So the curriculum was changed to the system which played to girls' strength and boys weaknesses.
According to the data I've seen, when it comes to test time, the boys do rather better than girls. It is homework in particular which girls are better about doing.
Anecdotes: I've seen several professors/teachers independently give similar opinions on what they see in their classrooms. The girls are on average much more dutiful, but those that are inquisitive are overwhelmingly male. And a quote from the article which reminded me of this: "the boys tend to be a little more idiosyncratic in solving problems, the girls more conservative in following what they've been taught."
"Show me a movie adaptation of any publication that is better than the original?"
Godfather.
"it will likely be a watered down version of the graphic novel"
Not sure they could do anything other than water it down; it would take 12 hours to put everything in it an would cost a billion dollars.
From everything I've read and seen, the movie people are trying to do a faithful adaptation, though I have reservations about some of the stylistic choices.
You protected Gotham from the personification of fear, the Scarecrow.
You protected Gotham from the personification of chaos, the Joker.
Now a new threat has arisen.
Your people need you now, more than ever for the personification of annoyance, irritation and aggravation has escaped his just imprisonment, the Spam King!
While I know how adverse you are to taking a life even in the most dire circumstances, in this instance I believe I speak for everyone and say that this man is a threat to sanity itself. So, should he threaten innocents with p3n1s en1argm3n7 or heirs to Zimbabwean fortunes, we'll understand if you have no choice but to drop him off of a building or something. Pummeling him to death would be acceptable too.
Oldman's wonderful Jim Gordon, I think, is overlooked because of how subtle the performance is. No one mentions how terrific he was when evading Dent's questions about the Batman, equipment malfunctions and all. Gordon is portrayed as a damn good guy and that is not easy to pull off without being hokey. I'd pay money to see a Jim Gordon-in-Gotham crime movie.
Eckhart had a hell of a tough role with Dent. He had to be the All-American, tough on crime D.A. as well as portray his deep love for Ms. Dawes (giving him a vulnerability to exploit) and, on top of that, transform into Two Face. All in one film. All in a *supporting* role. That's a lot to have to pull off.
And Bale as Bruce Wayne. I think, of all characters in film or comics, this one character practically invites writers to figure out new ways to torment him. The popular audience, not usually wanting to see a lead character suffer with no end in sight, even expects this to happen to Wayne. Bale does a hell of a job in what is essentially three roles: Bruce Wayne-playboy, the Batman and Bruce Wayne-scarred man, trying to do right in a world permeated with corruption.

Oddly enough, Mr. Kalashnikov invented his own lawnmower.

Yeah, the Russians did a magnificent job fighting the Japanese for all those years.
Dude, that is a totally unfair trade. You have to keep Dion.

Really? I don't remember seeing him on my Louisiana ballot... I may have simply missed it. :(
... that I'm happy that it will be over at goddamn last.
Sad thing is that, as pathetic as this is, Obama's supporters mostly spew stuff they read on bumper stickers.
I'm thinking that 700 years might be a bit past the statute of limitations...

Not necessarily... Many Linux users tend to be pragmatic, preferring FOSS, but not insistent on it.
I do appreciate your views, don't misunderstand.

You are a stereotype.
Insofar as the shortest, I think the current shortest is an Indian girl who is 1 1/2 feet tall. (roughly half a meter).
Five of them, actually.
Neither boys nor girls can ever become pregnant at age 10

And oddly enough that is actually true. The study was done by five women.
"more gender neutral fashion"
Want to explain why the verbal test gap remains? Or does that not count since it is in favor of the girls?
Fuck off with your whining.
Ever consider that people don't particularly like you because you seem to do little other than whine, complain and demonstrate your pettiness?:
If you've been in school, you've encountered one.

Dear Batman,

Well, I'll be damned.
