There were plenty of women who drank before prohibition, whether it was wine with dinner or gin anytime. My ancestors were storekeepers during the goldrush in Victoria. Looking through the records there are plenty of references to women buying gin (the most common spirit readily available). We even had the rum rebellion in Austraila, where runm was used as a virtual currency in the NSW convict settlement.
I have a tendancy to suffer from both sleep onset and sleep maintenance insomnia. Not at all helped by having a husband with severe sleep aponea and snores like a freight train if his mask isn't holding it's seal.
Not arguing that you have cause for complaint if you are being unfairly targetted due to raicial profiling, but ultimately you are being selected because *they* think that you are a potential security threat and deserve closer screening to ensure that you are not a threat.
The women in question were not being selected to be screened because they were perceived as a potential threat (the mandate for screening) they were being selected simply to perve on. This is totally unjustified under any defensible scenario.
I was told by a doctor 20 something years ago after an adverse reaction that I was allergic to erythromycin. My husband was told for years that due to a inherited genetic disorder he was highly likely to be allergic to penicillin. We won't be sharing anti-biotics in a hurry.
I consider myself 'allergic' to strawberries and crustaceans. In the case of the fishy things, I came to this conclusion after the third incident out of three times I tried eating it that resulted in me throwing up for a number of hours shortly after ingestion.
The strawberry thing 'might' be psychosomatic due to persistent doesing with a childrens strawberry flavoured medication as a child which made me ill, but all occasions that I can remember ingesting strawberries - even unknowingly until after the fact, damn mixed berry jam glazes not marked on the packaging - have resulted in migraine and prolonged vomiting. The speed of the reaction is in anaphalxis territory and the required dosage to trigger a reaction is quite low.
I wouldn't have a good idea of whether I've 'grown out of it' simply because I go to great lengths to avoid accidental consumption.
Bethselamin is a fabulously beautiful planet which attracts billions of tourists each year. Unsurprisingly, erosion is a serious concern of the local authorities. Their solution is to calculate the net imbalance between the amount of matter eaten and the amount subsequently excreted by each visitor, and remove the weight difference through amputative surgery. Thus it is vitally important to get a receipt after every trip to the lavatory while on the planet.
Personally, I prefer the platform of the Australian Sex Party. This is a real polictical party and they came very close to winning a seat in the Senate at the last Federal Election (Fiona Pattern actually got more votes than the Family first candidate, but lost out on preferences - yes we have wacky voting practices, get over it.
I lived my teenage years in the bush, I could identify a number of poinsous snakes and spiders by sight, from our back yard or the school yard. One of my class mates brought a (dead) 3m tiger snake into to primary school one day for show and tell. Her mother found it stretched across their driveway the night before and hit it with a shovel.
It's very nice to be hysterical, but let me point out to you that countries like Switzerland don't have such issues. Not only do they have guns, but military grade guns, since most join the militia. Not many people get killed with those guns over there. When every civilian is armed to the teeth, thugs think twice before they break in.
The Swiss also have compulsary millitary service, so people are trained how to handle guns safely and effectively. They are also culturally less anti-authority than Australians. Some of the most cynical anti-government people I know are ex-Australian millitary, most have sharpshooter qualifications.
His rants have come back to bite him more than a few times, but he's been better at keeping them under control lately.
And that's the scary bit. People forget how conservative his personal views are. Imagine what he'd be like with Howard's level of power over the Governement and public policy.
The only thing more frightening that an Abbott led Liberal Government is an Abbott led Liberal Government with a clear majority in both houses.
Personally I have concerns about how he would try to impose his personal (religious) beliefs on public policy, such as being pro-life/anti-abortion just for starters.
If you want the NBN you'd better hope Labor hangs in there for a while longer.
As for civil rights, you'd really better hope Labor hangs on there longer, at least until Abbott has been shed by the Conservatives. Wish they'd bring back Fraser, at least he had a recognisable moral centre and didn't just deny everything th Government of the day proposes without presenting a viable alternative.

I'm no fan of Julia, and I live in her electorate, but Tony Abbott is by far worse. Howard wanted things to be like they were in the 50's. Abbot wants things to be like they were in the 50's and have everyone following his Catholic morality code and everything that implies.
They're the largest Foxconn customer, and therefore have the most power to improve things.
Are they actually Foxconn's lagest customer, or simply their most visible? I would have though Dell would have been bigger given the size of it's corporate market. Do you have any stats?
To be fair, the Apple bashing trend isn't new. I remember the early '90s as a time of spirited Apple bashing. It was a fairly well established meme even then.

I think you mean 'passed', unless you are implying he got over the hate...
*Snort* Now I need to clean my display.

I though it meant they'd been sued down to the bare boards.

Possibly true, but I'd like to see you try it. I'll bring the popcorn.

Topical because I'm off to see Roger Water's The Wall tour tonight with my inlaws.
I didn't know her name was Ignis.
