/. has so few goatse links these days, I raaarly see them, not like a few years ago when a reader had to carefully check each link they clicked on before going to it, and goatse redirects where popping up all around the net.
Goatse is old any ways, I seriously doubt that it has offended anybody but the weakest minded individuals since it first came out. *yawn* Old troll, unoriginal troll, unoffensive troll, is it really a troll anymore or just a desperate cry for help?
masturbation - 1766, from Mod.L. masturbationem, from L. masturbari, altered (probably by influence of turbare "to stir up") from *manstuprare, from manus "hand" + stuprare "defile." Masturbate is first recorded 1857.
So you see, it means to stir it up with a hand. You could jerk someone else off, and be mastrubating them.
You make me sick, you uneducated piece of trash.
Yah these may be trolls bitching back and forth here, but I gotta agree, any idiot who doesn't know what masturbation means IS a complete idiot.
Stimulation bub, doesn't really matter by WHOM (or even by what. Though some assumption of the 'what' having appendages is generally made. ^_^ )

Not all shoppers prefer the human touch. I often find the minimum wage lackeys on the other side of the cashier are slow and obnoxious.
Depends, there are some restaurants that I go to that I love the human touch, the independent small restaurants kick ass for this. Places where you get to know the people on a first name basis and all that.:-D
I'm sure it sounds great, but the fact is I have no use for anything less than a 160kbps MP3 or its equivalent, so it really doesn't do much good as a non-streaming MP3 replacement (and let's face it, 99% of MP3 use is none streaming).
I am on broadband, I can STREAM 160KBp/s MP3s,
and if MP3.com ever offered them, I sure would be!
Well after enough neutron bomb 'testings' it should be possible to convince them that the neutron bomb is that which is summoning the evil spirits, and quite frankly 'evil spirits' is close enough to 'radiation' and lets just call it a done deal.:-D

Easy, bring them on a fly over as a neutron bomb is dropped on a major populated city. Ask them if they want to fly in a plane with lead shielding or not, if not, laugh at them a they wither and agony and die from radiation exposure when the low fly by is done.

Wait a few generations, I am talking about the species wide mind set. It seems as if more and more of each generation is satisfied to live in some small bundled room surrounded by other people in small bundled rooms, not even being able to take a piss without half a dozen neighbors knowing about it.
The reason we have poor eyesight is because of rampant literacy. Kids are sitting on the floor with books inches away from their face, rather than out working in a cotton field or something. Their eyes atrophy. They should probably be playing more sports. My eyesight is shot and what do I do? Stare at a computer screen for 12+ hours a day.
I would respond to this, but I cannot figure out if you are trolling, serious, joking, forgot a few words in there someplace, or just have no idea WTF you are talking about. . ..
To refer to a previous post by yourself;
I do believe that sarcasm tags are called for sommeliers in that post. . . .
Now you have kids that die after smelling a peanut or getting a cold.
Mind you MR lion tamer could be dumb as a fucking stone and eat his own shit, but hey, smart enough to run away from lions, and can discern color, sounds like good material to spread around the ol' gene pool!
See, the dudes with bad eyesight? They invented projectiles, sold them to the dudes with good eyesight, and then they invented glasses cutting out the middle man altogether.
Humans are pathetic in the natural world when it comes to physical superiority. Our species best ain't but jack fucking shit compared to even what the middle weights of Nature are like.
Besides, Lions run faster then humans, that dude with good eyesight? He better be able to run faster then the dude with poor eyesight, because even with the head start, if the guy with poor eyesight can catch up. . . . well you know the saying, don't gotta run faster then the lion, just gotta run faster then the guy behind yah.;)
But yah, the only advantage human's really have ever had is their brains. Sure a certain minimum level of physical fitness was required in the species for quite some time, but even then a good mind would be able to survive better then a strong fist.
Seems to me that there should be some sort of "keep your fucking hands off" rule, nobody fucks with anything and everything is left just as it is! (though minus the pop-up ads would be nice)
how many corporate exec's go mugging for fun, or boost their neighbors Acura Integra.
Lord no, they just have some 'fun' with some poor girl or use some 'social' drugs, they wouldn't break any real laws!
Bleh.
The only difference between the rich and the poor is that if some poor guy fucks up he can be arrested and thrown in jail in a second, some rich shit rapes somebody everybody else is too afraid to speak up.
Depends, if some tyrant is trying to kill a bunch of villagers with some cheesy foot soldiers, a bunch of dudes in huge tanks that are virtually immune to RPG fire, could have a definite "peaceful" force to them.:-D
WRONG:.RTF is a standard, very few people use it..ISO is a standard, but there are many others. and there are many standards that Microsoft chooses to simply ignore
Says who? It is used internaly by a wide variety of applications, quite handy. Just because the end user does not save stuff to it does not mean that it is not used..ISO is not so much a standard as it is a bitdump, heh. And they are verrrry common thank you so very much.:-D Ask any window's warez kiddie, they know about them! (and isn't that the true sign of popularity for any file format, 'standard' or not?)
``full reader''? How can you be a ``full reader'' when you don't know how the hell English spelling is organized or what the purpose behind it is?
Full reading, the methodology of reading that employees the recognition of the shape of a word rather then the words individual component characters or phonetical symbols.
And second, no, a phonetic reader does not have to `relearn' each word. That statement is based on your false view of reading---that it means matching sight with meaning.
Uh, no, that is how full readers read, phonic readers do as you say thus;
Phonetic readers match sight with sound (very fast) and then sound with meaning (instinctive).
First off, I see people even in their forties still saying/sub vocalizing each word that they read. It is dog slow and limits reading to the pace at which a person can verbaly read a text out. Verrrry icky.
Phonetic readers match sight with sound
Full readings look at the word and just know what it is. Tada, bing boom bang, it is done, no work, no thinking, the word is just there. That is why a full reader can walk down an aisle of books and come to a stop at the exact book that they want, or why they can scan over an entire page quickly with their eyes and find an exact chosen work quite quickly, it is easy for a full reader to setup a pattern recognition system in their mind that allows their eyes to ignore all else but a desired pattern or shape and just find or look for that one shape.
Err, an analogy maybe?
Say there are three shapes sitting on a table, a circle, a square, and a triangle. You do not need to count the sides of each shape to know what they are, you just know that the object with 3 sides is a triangle, the one with 4 sides is a square, and that the round one is a circle.
That is what full reading is like, full readers recognize the shape of each word, and just as you can walk down a long row of shapes until you come to say the "green triangle" without having to go;
"This is a (1,2,3,4) yellow square, this is a (1,2,3,4,5) pink pentagon, this is a (1,2,3) green triangle!";
Full readers do not need to go "Mississippi, Mi-ssi-ssi-ppi" or "Galadriel, Gala-driel" (or how ever the heck you could sound that one out, iiiiiick, I could never stand reading fantasy if I had to sound the words out, heh. Series like The Wheel of Time and Dune would become unreadable!)
Now as for some of the REAL disadvantages of full reading:
Remembering a character's name from a book can be very difficult. Show a full reader the name written down and they can identify with the character just fine, but without that they might be able to tell you everything the character ever did in the book and all details about a character, but darned if they can remember the character's name. This is especially true for those really hard to pronounce bizarre names that some fantasy and science fiction books are known for, heh. (or I would assume any other name that is way outside of any basic phonics that they might have learned.)
Spelling sucks, needless to say. On the plus side a full reader can easily gloss over any minor mistakes in written material that they are reading. "actually" and "actually" look darn close and alike. As do many other common misspellings, such as transposed letters or missing/additional double letters.
(this is why the link in my sig is to writting.html and not writing.html:-D I really need to change that, heh)
Oh, and onomatopoeias* are fun, that is why I know them.:) (and make verrrry liberal use of them, hehe)
*I gave up on spell checking that one, I just did a search on google for 'words that sound like sounds' and scrolled through the results until I got a page on onomatopoeias. ^_^ eeeevil hard word to spell, phonics gets thrown on the window on that one, heh.
