  1. Sports, religion, politics - all have die-hard fans, but DAMN those fans annoy the rest of us.

    the exclusive possession or control of the supply or trade in a commodity or service.

  4. Thank you, sir/ma'am. VERY well said.

    That's so fucking stupid, have you even been born yet?? Here, let me put this into words that you can understand:

    TRUUUUMMMP!!!

    Also, you're wrong. I get the Discover magazine every month.

    It doesn't matter that you think that way about me, because there are 3 sexes. Why? Because Egypt did it.

  7. Perfectly excusable. Cheers!

  8. Sex is as sex does, sir. The rest is a label.

    No, I know better than to challenge anyone. But, my friend, in regard to the sex of a being, there is only male or female. Maybe a male FEELS like a female, and maybe a female FEELS like a male. And in that case, please do dress however you feel comfortable. But to purport that you're the opposite of your physical gender is just a lie. Just like a short person purporting to be tall, or visa versa.

    I want to live where you live. In every city that I know of, they designed the roadways for less than half of the current traffic load. Almost everywhere, there is a traffic jam twice a day.

  12. Did you know that there were more than 2 genders as long as 4000 years ago?

    *Citation needed*

    So, my question is when were there only "2 sexes"?

    Right now.

    When have their been no wars?

    Never. It's sad.

    No, on slashdot all arguments are resolved by arguing on other topics.

  14. I don't understand your point. The parent pointed out that today we're able to feed so many people due to advances in technology. But then you say he'll be modded DOWN by people that think we should be able to have as many babies as we wish? Seems like people that would argue against the OPs post, would LIKE a post about our ability to have as many babies as they wish, because agricultural advances allow us to.

  15. Not sure they're trying to say that those things are similar. I think they're just trying to point out that things are simpler when there are 2 sexes, regarding laws and organizing things in general. In the same way that things are simpler when there are no wars.

    There used to be a phone book that was released by the phone companies. It listed (if you had an account with them) everyone's name, address and phone number. If you wanted to NOT be listed in that book, you had to pay a fee. That book was given to all of it's members. So if you had a phone, you had that book.

    But seriously, Lynx is better for security because it doesn't support graphics and it can white/black list cookies, or totally disable cookies altogether. Lynx is still being developed, so don't forget about it.
