    The way you drive that might be valid, but in other cases how much legal weight does your (or my) classification generally hold?

    I don't know what I did, but it was definitely wrong. Perhaps I added the 6s because it had 18 in it, which is nearly twice 10, but that's the wrong way round.

    That's if you can judge how careful they are solely by the acceptance rate, which was the point that several people seem to have missed.

    Well if you are thinking they are peodophiles you don't know much about pedophiles. Peodophiles do not normally display sympathy for peodophiles

    If a jail doesn't have any effect on it (a mental issue), then consoling or other methods should be used.

    Not sure how that would help.

    The NSF is usually very careful about who it gives money to; only something like 10% of funding request are granted.

    If they rolled 3D6 and only gave funding when it came up as 1 1 1 that would make them nearly twice as careful.

    I suspect that "company" is sort of shorthand for "the other people there", but in any case I don't see why X not having emotions means you can't have emotions about X - for example when X is a painting or a piece of music.

    But then again, what do I know - I'm not a pedantic aspie fucktard and I don't play one on TV.

    Totally correct. I got somebody else to do my exams in med school, and only a few of my patients have died this week. And it's not my fault - they were already pretty ill or they wouldn't have gone to hospital in the first place.
