  1. Heh. We stopped calling our fishing trips ... fishing trips, and instead called them kitten slaughter fests.

     

    It didn't work, so we went back to ignoring PETA.

  2. The ninja star dorito won. The Tebow anti-abortion one lost. Huge.

     

    And the game was awesome. Not much of a fan of NO, and not a fan of the Colts, but the Saints played a much better game. And, it gave me pleasure to see Peyton not make one of his 4th quarter comebacks. Now, if only teams can continue to exploit his weaknesses during the next season...

    This is the exact problem to which I alluded. His parent will demand that he remain as he is, at the bare minimum, for God intended him to be exactly as he is.

    Unfortunately, that means Lilith will remain depressed, lonely, and adrift.

    So, not really a solution for Lilith.

    Please specify the reason that individuals "just don't play well." Are you saying groups, or "society" plays well?
    I don't pretend to have discovered this reason, and I'm not drawing any conclusions about groups.

    How can you know what goes on inside any other individual for certain? Is your explanation the only possible explanation for what you observe? Is it an absolute reality or a projection based upon a belief, a meaning made out of what you observe?
    Studying their actions, which we believe are a true indication of internal processes, unless we want to rationalize that individuals are all acting falsely. Of course there could be other explanations, I'm not a narcissist, but I think (obviously) that the one I provide is the most likely explanation. Yup, just observation of human history.

    I don't know if that is the only thing, but it is the thing I cited.

    Heck, isn't this /section/ of the thread some kind of indication that humans are interested in promoting their interests above those of their fellows? I certainly don't see you admitting that you could be wrong, which would be a way of keeping the peace.
  5. Spring salmon is superb cooked over an open fire on the beach, immediately after being caught. Fall salmon, once it enters the river, starts losing fat reserves, and does benefit from seasonings, but ocean caught salmon is my favorite for smoking, grilling, or canning. Atlantic salmon, or farmed, is what I suspect you reference, and either would be better baked.

     

    Poached, of course, refers not to the cooking method.

    This. That'd be me.
