12/30 Women on jdate look hot. Do I need to give up bacon to
date them?
\_ http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2009-04-10
\_ Don't know, but you may have to give up your foreskin to date them.
\_ I think this is a deal breaker for most men, and why
throughout history Christianity always overwhelms Judaism.
In Christianity the barrier to entry is much lower, the recruitment
strategy is much more aggressive, the church income (10%) is higher,
the marketing is superior (hot women in church), and most
importantly you don't need a painful cosmetic surgery on your dick.
In another word, Christianity is a well run corporation and
Judaism is just another mom and pop store.

\_ What about Catholicism?
\_ I was cirumcised as a child, as are most American men. No
problem for us red-blooded patriotic Isreal-loving Americans.
\_ Most Christians believe in the literal truth of The Bible,
which means they are stuck with a 2 millenial old system
suited for tribal sheepheaders. Judaism has something called
the Talmud where you can argue endlessly about the right
way to do things. So it evolves over time.

http://www.csua.org/u/w2x (gma.yahoo.com)
I can't help noticing in the video:
- how the doctor stayed standing up while examing this Jessica
Schnaider sitting down,
- how often he checked her heartbeat with his stethoscope, while
standing up,
- how convenient for her doctor the way she wore her button shirt was
when she walked in to the office.
\_ Why does her doctor need to listen to her heart so much? She isn't
there for her heart disease.
\_ Exactly. I think she's building up a media presence to pave her
way to a reality show. And I think the doctor is knowingly in
it. |

4/26 Is it correct to say that Godel's work on the incompleteness thm
proved the Principia Mathematica wrong?
\_ It didn't exactly prove it wrong; it proved that the true goal of
PM (a complete and consistent set of mathematical truths)
is unattainable. -tom
\_ Ah cool, no this is good. See ok yeah so the main goal of PM
was to "be complete" but obGodel so that fails. However as a
piece of logic, that is, a system build up from first principles
is PM is still valid, inspite of Godel?
etc.) --OP
\_ What Godel showed is that you can use PM's language (or any
other complete mathematical language) to create a paradoxical
statement. That means that you can't assert that any
statement described by PM's language is true. But in
practice it doesn't change much. (Although why you would
use PM's language in practice is unclear; it's rather a
theoretical exercise). -tom
\_ Would you use it to teach logic to a someone? Is it at
least good for that?
\_ Sure, it could work for that, but it's pretty complex.
-tom
\_ Would it be correct to say, "If you studied logic
and understand how to follow logic, then you should
be able to read the PM." (as a milestone marker)?
\_ It proved that PM is incomplete. DUH!!!
\_ Well, more precisely, it proved that a symbolic logic cannot
be both complete and consistent. It would be more accurate to
say that PM is inconsistent than that it's incomplete. -tom |

6/8 My wife and I are childless. We never had much interest, but if we
don't have kids soon we never will and so we are talking about it.
To us the birthing process and pregnancy are disgusting. I realize
it's the most natural thing in the world, but it's still extremely
nasty to us both. And I believe in childbeating, which is illegal
where I live. The more we learn (plus about all the associated
risks) the more we marvel that anyone is _ever_ born and how
couples who go through it would want to repeat it. I read about
women who like to eat the placenta and I almost lost my lunch and
I am not a squeamish person. I saw a video of a woman giving birth in
high school health class, but that did not prepare me adequately
for the reality. We are left wondering why in the hell anyone would do
this, especially after seeing how ungrateful our nieces and nephews
are. I am curious how those of you with kids managed to reconcile
these feelings. Maybe we're better off not being parents, although
I think we'd make good parents. We could adopt, but raising someone
else's kids is something I don't think I could do (even though my dad
did it). I get very frustrated that we have agonized over this so
much while much of the world just pumps them out without a thought.
\_ be thankful that you like in Northern Cal. Maybe you should move
to SF and feel at home.
\_ we'll thank you for not peeing in the genetic pool
\_ My genes are already all over the place. I have six nieces and
nephews. I wish my sisters would have thought about this as
much as I have, because, frankly. parenthood has not been
successful for them.
\_ Those asren't your genes, they are your siblings. Similar,
yes, but not the same.
\_ Most of them are the same - enough to matter.
\_ Read between the lines. OP is bragging that his nieces and
nephews have his genes ......
\_ Oh! How incestuous!
\_ Either that (hot!), or he's screwing his sister-in-
law (hot!)
\_ get over yourself.
\_ Same to you, buddy.
\_ for many, children are a consequence of sex. Effective birth control
wasnt even really an option until recently. Even still many forego
it, for (short-sighted) economic reasons, or even religious ones.
Oh, and even if you can get past the whole childbirth process,
children are not for the squeamish. Poop-filled diapers, and
more! Whee!
\_ You believe in child beating and you think that you would make
a good parent? Go get yourself sterilized, please.
\_ Some dim-wit added that. I am dim!
\_ I have two kids and I love it. I'm hoping to have a few more.
They are constantly fun and interesting to me, only occasionally
are they obnoxious. But we raise them very carefully.
We never buy things for them and we don't have TV in our house.
This goes a long way to keeping them polite and interesting.
Also, I don't really mind disgusting things, diapers and whatnot.
I don't know why people get so freaked out about it.
\_ I am not disgusted by changing diapers. My wife and I are
disgusted by having another human being living as a parasite
inside of her like some sort of movie monster. The post-birth
aspect doesn't seem disgusting, but the pregnancy and birth
seem like 9 months of hell.
\_ Somehow, billions of people have managed to get through it,
I bet you can too if you really care to. I am also a later
parent (had my first child at 40) and I have to say, I
could not be happier about it even though I was sleep
deprived for the first year.
\_ Lots of people manage to get through it with a healthy
child and a healthy mother, but some don't. |

8/19 Do you think it's okay to bring a small baby to the movies? I went
to see Rocky Horror tonight and these three women came in with a
small baby in a stroller and sat in front of me. The baby never
cried, but it was awake and gurgling and whatever and the mom was
constantly fussing over it and it was very distracting. Concerned
about the distraction and that it wouldn't stay quiet for a full 2
hours, I left 15 minutes in and asked for (and got) a refund. I go
to the movies maybe once per year, so this was a treat for me and
I feel the parent was inconsiderate, especially since she obviously
had "sitters" in the other two women, but none of them wanted to
miss out. I almost said something to her when I walked out, but I
didn't. What do you think? Is it reasonable to bring a baby?
\_ 1) you are right, bringing a baby to a movie is asking for trouble.
But that doesn't sound like it was the problem: the problem was
the mother making noise.
2) If you are seeing Rocky Horror in a theater and you can hear
something like a baby gurgling, you are doing it wrong. That movie
is meant to be watched in a theater full of screaming drunken
amateur comedians. Go see it for real with a real cast...
or not. If you rarely go to see movies and are the type of person
who is annoyed by people "Distracting" from that particular
movie, you may be too anal retentive to enjoy RHPS. The movie
sucks btw. Hence the heckling. --brain
\_ It's probably inconsiderate, but I'm more concerned about the
baby. I think the sound level in cinemas are way too high for
babies' ears, no matter what genre of movie it is.
\_ Are babies' ears more sensitive? It seems I've gotten more
sensitive as I've gotten older. The noise didn't bother me
as a kid, but now I need ear plugs in the theater. -!op
\_ Don't be a jerk. Your baby won't enjoy the loud noise, and

8/10 I'm the person who took care of my gf's sister's cat while she was
away with the Air Force. In return, I asked her to check on my
sons for a week while I was away. She skipped a day (and committed
a lie of omission when she didn't say so but admitted it when
questioned) and the upstairs bedroom was full of my sons' diarrhea all
over everything (wooden floor, bookcase, blankets) - which is not
typical for my litter-trained sons, but probably a result of my
absence - but she didn't clean it up or even mention it to me. I
got in at 11pm at night and spent 2 hours dealing with that. After
I cleaned her place spotless I'm VERY pissed.
\_ I keep a mental blacklist of people I never ever want to be in
contact with. Very few people get on that list. It sounds like
this person needs to be put on this black list. FYI, for example,
this junior high "friend" that I invited to the wedding said he
would come to the wedding. I even confirmed it the week before.
I reserved 1/2 of a table, or $300 worth. My wedding came, and
1/2 of that table was empty. I called him up a few days later
and he said he totally forgot because there was this really
important church retreat. Then he came up with a bunch of excuses,
said he was sorry, and said he would reimburse. Then later on
he said "I don't think it should cost $300, ours was really cheap."
I never heard from him again. He is on my blacklist. He sounds
like the same breed as your gf's sister.
\_ I don't hang out with my friends who have kids anymore. Once
they started the family nucleus, nothing outside matters anymore.
You're an outsider. You're of someone who could help them. Period.
\_ You know, sometimes you do meet people who are irresponsible or
who just don't care. There's not much you can do. Some people are
just like that, just learn to not deal with these people. I've
learned to ignore some of my family members who are totally
wackos. Yeah, they're family... SO WHAT? If they can't help
you, they can't.
\_ I have a bunch of crazy and irresponsible relatives, including
one who has been in and out of prison and another who is a
crazy (literally) drug abusing homeless guy. I have learned over
one who has been in and out of prison and another who is an
insane (literally) drug abusing homeless guy. I have learned over
the years not to trust them and consider my help to them to
be charity, nothing more. With friends, I would expect some kind
of reciprocity, but with a charity case, you just help them and
don't expect anything in return except gratitude.
\_ Yea, that sucks. Get someone else next time, or kennel them.
\_ I totally agree with you. It's not too much to expect a threesome
orgy in return.
\_ that's not an orgy.
\_ Good orgies have an even ratio of men/women present. It's
just simple orgy etiquette.

7/28 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article6727710.ece Yes!!! Women are getting prettier and prettier due to evolution. "In men, by contrast, good looks appear to count for little, with handsome men being no more successful than others in terms of numbers of children. This means there has been little pressure for men appearance to evolve." Yes!!!! I have a chance to win at the reproductive game of human race! -average looking overweight sysadm \_ I believe it. Look at the old paintings of women. Yes, beauty ideals evolve, but so many of those women were downright homely. The men in the paintings look similar to men now. \_ Actually old paintings indicate that women were fat. Thanks to media, they are skinny malnutritioned sticks, the way our culture want them to be. \_ You are talking about Rubens, but not every painter portrayed women that way. I am not talking about their bodies anyway, but their faces. There are a lot of paintings by people like Gainsborough done in the 1700s which depicted the wealthy. The subjects were not fat. However, neither were most of them attractive. Some of them were quite, but that seemed to be more the exception than the rule. I think better nutrition, and possibly evolution, has lead to more attractive women certainly. \_ The wealthy ate better than the poor, and the wealthy had painters. Eating better-->getting fat-->getting more pictures. As for nutrition and evolution, IMHO better healthcare in general explains it all. You ever wonder why the average American has better looking teeth than the British? It's because Americans spend much more on dental care than any other developed nations. \_ Did you completely ignore my comment that the subjects did not appear to be fat? Ugly, maybe. Fat, no. |

Anyone have a theory on why there seem to be a high concentration
of super hot chicks in the middle of nowhere, america?
\_ there isn't actually. Your premise is flawed. I've seen tons
of fat, poorly-aging people in the midwest. Take a trip to Orlando
where all the tourists go if you want to see a sampling of "real
America" and what its people look like.
\_ think OP means "young"
\_ I wouldn't call Orlando "middle of nowhere, america." They have
their own professional sports franchise.
\_ the tourists in Orlando are not from Orlando! That's how
"tourists" work you see. They are on vacation. From
somewhere else. And the ones from the middle of nowhere
go somewhere shitty and commercial, like Orlando, or Vegas.
\_ If you want to be scared, go to Sizzler in Milwaukee. -tom
\_ why don't you just leave CA if you hate it here so much. Leave,
traitor!
\_ you've never been to yreka or places like that huh.
\_ Because many guys rushed to the Silicon valley to jump into the
high-tech bubble?
\_ Women in the middle of nowhere have to rely on their looks more
because they are not career-oriented, so their "survival"
depends a lot more on finding a guy who will marry them.
\_ Don't know if this is true, but it's a pretty good theory. -- !OP
\_ this happens in Cities too, look at all the marketing chicks
swarm to gyms. Attractiveness sells.
\_ Don't know if this is true, but it's a very good theory. -- !OP

\_ seconded on the theory. Also they tend to produce more
babies, or higher quality babies.
\_ What makes them higher quality?
\_ They grow up to be super hot chicks too?
\_ they produce really attractive beings for
further reproduction. they're also more pure, genetically
and healthier because they don't have as much pollutants
as the people in San Francisco. They're also taller,
whiter, blonder, and more attractive in general.

\_ Do you seriously think that women are hotter in
Bakersfield than LA? Have you lost your mind???
\_ actually, on the average, yes. Or look at the
the ones in nowhere, AZ, or nowhere TX. Not
talking about individual cases here, but the
aggregate average over pop.
\_ Rich people, in general, are better looking than
poor people. It is left as an excercise for the
reader to figure out why. Places with lots of
poor people, like Bakersfield, are not full of
of good looking people.
\_ You will find more attractive women in poor
Louisiana or Texas than in rich San Jose.
\_ There are a lot of attractive men in Little
India, Sunnyvale. What you say to that?
\_ I am guessing those men moved there
from somewhere else.
\_ Women in those places, like Texas, tend to care more about how
they look and dress. Along the East coast and mid-Atlantic
you have overachieving women who act like men and wear no makeup.
On the West coast women are more casual in their dress and
appearance. Only in-between do women dress and act like men
expect women to (in a stereotypical way). Women in the South and
Texas won't even leave the house without doing their hair.
\_ At least if you live somewhere that gets really hot and humid
in the summer, the sun dresses come out. In the bay area,
everyone wears the same thing every day all year
\_ Yeah, I lived in The South for three years. The women there
all dress like high class hookers.

7/14 Every once in a while, the woman becomes a TOTAL BITCH and starts
to bitch and whine about every little thing about you and is trying
to pick a fight. What the hell do you guys do when the bitch becomes
a total bitch?
\_ logic and defense will only take you so far. Just realise that
not everything is about you and be okay with it. Maybe it's
brain chemicals. Maybe she didn't eat well today. Maybe it's
that time of the month. Maybe people were mean to her today.
Maybe the potholder she's looking at reminds her of when her
cat died when she was eight. It has nothing to do with you.
I also like the technique of apologizing for things which
logically couldn't possibly be your fault. Use sparingly or
you will be accused of being patronizing. These techniques
will work on anyone, not just your lady.
\_ I usually talk it out. I tend to defend myself and my position and
when she is right, I take it to heart and try and change my habits
so that it won't be an issue in the beginning. If she is just being
unreasonable I tell her and then grovel until it blows over. I don't
have the best success with women though :) In the best relationships
I've had I just had to lick the clit. But all women aren't like men,
some want you to prove yourself.
\_ You "had to" lick the clit? In my relationship I have to behave
really well before I *get to* lick my wife's clit.
\_ That is why I said best relationships!
\_ you can't REASON with the bitch. That's the whole point of
the post "there's not much I can do, what do YOU do?"
\_ I take off and go for a long walk. I only have to do this a few

this is the best answer, but it is better than what I learned from

5/17 Has anyone else noticed that today's teenaged girls are freakishly
tall? The stats may not bear that out because of changing demographics
in this nation (influx of shorter peoples) but even traditionally
short races like Asian are taller than they were. Today I noticed
at least 4 girls over 6' tall at the grocery store (two different
stores) doing shopping with their dads. (I guessed these women were
about 20 when I first saw them until dear old dad came over to add
something to the cart.) So they may be 6'+ and still growing. I noticed
this with female athletes, too. Before, bigger female athletes were
bulky and looked roided up but now women are large but with a more
normal (proportionate or even skinny) physique. What's odd is that
I don't notice the boys being any larger than before, except in
races that were traditionally shorter like Asians. What's going on
\_ girls aren't taller. you're just old. there is plenty of porn
out there for you involving short guys and gigantic women
\_ It's awesome. More to see with the short miniskirts and kneehigh
boots that are supposed to be in this year. Oh wait, you live in
the U.S. Nevermind. Sorry. -John
\_ boys are larger, Asian or not. 6'4" is like normal now for a
20 year old Caucasian boy.
\_ I don't think that's true. I am fairly tall myself and I notice
when men are taller than I am (like 6'2" and taller). I think
men are taller than they were (compared to my dad at 5'9")
but I don't see that many Caucasian guys over 6'1" in *this*
country (USA). In fact, people still refer to me as tall and
I never thought I was anything but average or an inch over.
such that we are breeding these Amazon women over the last 20 years?
My sister is 5'8" and that was considered model tall when she was
young (and she did model) and now I hear it's tough to model if you
are under 6 feet. With the way girls now give out blowjobs as a way to
test if you are boyfriend-worthy (instead of 4 years into a marriage)
I feel like I was born too early, damn it. However, I am genuinely
interested in the factors making so many large women.
\_ Is this a "damnit I'm not getting laid because I'm short" post?
If it is... yeah, Darwin say you're out of luck.
\_ Getting laid, but not by such tall women because women my age
just aren't that tall in most cases. It's a "not getting
laid by leggy blondes because I am too old, but would have
had I been born in 1988" post.
\_ It's the bay area, they're going to be rotund and massive.
They don't have to be anything else.

\_ Both men and women are getting taller, due to better nutrition.
\_ Yes, I have been noticing that young women keep getting taller.
As a short guy, it is hard not to notice.
\_ Dude, it's called high heels.

China denounces US 'rights abuse': China has responded in detail to a US report published this week criticising China for alleged rights abuses. Beijing released its own report on the US, saying crime is a threat to many Americans and racial discrimination prevails in social life across the US. \_ Chinese obviously doesn't know much about America. American are actually very abusive in terms of human rights but we've just accept it as part of the norm. example, USA has the highest incarceration rate, relatively high murder rate, Blacks/Latinos being jailed for drug-related crime are disproportionally higher than the demographics of the drug users, etc, etc. And I haven't start talking about outsourcing tortures, prisoner abuse, detain people indefinitely without trial nor charges... I really don't know what is so special about China and their human rights. \_ We generally don't run over protestors with tanks here. -tom \_ All of China is not Bejing. \_ Virtually no one in the USA goes to jail for just using drugs. In fact, in California, even many small time dealers may be released off the hook if caught dealing the first time. Those minorities in jail you're talking about are not there for just drug use. Most of them are recedivist dealers who negotiated a plea deal where they accept a relatively small jail time for drug possession in exchange for the judges dropping the more serious charges. They do it because most of them know their case wouldn't stand in court, and they would have to go to jail for much longer time. Just go outside of campus and see who is dealing drugs. \_ This is not true. I will do some research and get back to you, but there are millions in jail in the US for possession only. \_ Yeah. Please do so. Find and post whacked liberal web site link of the week to support your liberal agenda. I know second hand from people who had known others who had gone through the system. \_ Well since you put it that way, I won't waste my time. Obviously your second hand anecdotal knowledge is superior than any kind of fact-based reasoning. \_ Please tell us about your facts. What are they? You have a proof that the vast majority of drug "users" were not jailed for dealing? No one goes to jail for using drugs in California. That's a fact "users" were not jailed for dealing? No one goes to jail for using drugs in California. That's a fact Even small time dealers get at worst a probation sentense. Anyone who has gone through this system will tell you this. People who are in jail for the most part are real criminals. No doubt about it. You will tell you this. People who are in jail for the most part are the hardened criminals. No doubt about it. You can't see who is dealing drugs in the Bay Area and elsewhere? You still need to do research on that? elsewhere? You need to do research on that? Puhhlease.. \_ "No one goes to jail in California for using drugs." Having a hard time tracking down CA-specific numbers, but Bureau of Justice reports 250k prisoners under jurisdiction of state correctional authorities for drug offenses in 2005: http://csua.org/u/nnz If you can find a breakdown of CA prison pop. that shows no drug offenders, your case is made. \_ I don't know if he's right or not, but surely you realize that your link doesn't actually answer his claim. (Maybe for the same reason as conspiracy theories are impossible to disprove, but still...) Especially since dealing is a drug offense... -!pp \_ Catch-22, then. I would like much clearer statistics, but the sources are hard to find. \_ Yeah, you'd need to find both: how many people are in jail _just_ for possession, and how many plea deals were struck to reduce dealing to possession. And, you'd have to take into account the DAs who use a dealing charge as a threat to get a plea on possession.... \_ http://mises.org/freemarket_detail.aspx?control=7 \_ You might be right, even the DEA is in favor of treatment over jail for first time posession: http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/demand/speakout/10so.htm There's your wacked out liberal site for you, DOJ. |

The crowd was pretty stunned. I turned to my girlfriend and
said "Uh, what was that?" and she confirmed. If you know
Branson (conservative Christian Disneyland) you'd think it
amusing. Maybe not shocking in Las Vegas, but there was a hush over
the crowd after that. What's weird is that most Irish women are not

"the more people try to chase past behavior the less
it behaves like it used to". in fact, this thought
is foremost of my concerns.

than .2% in just a few years. Individuals trying

8/8 How common is it for (white) married women in their mid 30s
in SF to not wear a ring, engagement or wedding band?
Common? Rare? Really rare?
\_ I guess you've locked on a target.
\_ I guess you've located a target.
\_ Why are you asking? Are you trying to guess from the lack
of ring, or did you guess, move, and get turned down because
she said she was engaged/married?
\_ I know for a fact she is married (because she mentioned him).
I am curious whether there are a lot of people here who don't
believe in the wedding band thing and never wore one, or whether
she stopped wearing one for some reason I know more women are
anti-diamond now, but I thought among Caucasian couples, the
band of gold was pretty standard even among non-trad lefties.
\_ Pretty rare, in my experience. For some reason, Asian married
women are much less likely to wear a wedding band. Why is that?
\_ They might attach less importance to the tradition. My mom
doesn't wear a ring because she's afraid of someone mugging
her or something. She hasn't really been mugged since riding MUNI
in the 80s, but old habits die hard I guess.
\_ My (asian) wife doesn't put as much importance on the tradition,
and also it bugs her. Sometime it gets kinda itchy I guess.
She seems to wear it about half the time.
\_ My parents are one of the most sickiningly happy married couples
I know and they never wore wedding rings, and for some reason the
whole idea of a ring seems strange to me.
\_ That's because they never told you that they're SWINGERS

3/28 Irish+German women = SUPER HOT.
\_ Asian women = little boy figures = satisfy my long awaited but
socially unacceptable yearning for petite underaged lovers.
That is why I think Asian women = SUPER HOT, and I'm sure
many of you closet Asian lovers at Cal feel the same way.
\_ What makes you think we are in the closet about it? I have
a skinny flat-chested wife with braces and that makes me happy.
What is wrong with that?
\_ you need to be closet about the UNDERAGED part or else
the society will frown upon it.
\_ Yes, I do get scowls from white women my age, but I
am just amused by it. I don't really prefer underaged
women, just young adults, though my brother teases me
and calls me a pedophile.
\_ Maybe at the high end of the spectrum, but both Irish and German
women in general tend to be rather homely. Maybe two negatives
equal a positive? I think on average Latin American women are
the most attractive, but YMMV. Note that I am not saying there
aren't hot Irish or German women. There absolutely are. I am
speaking in general terms.
\_ So sometimes there may or may not be in certain cases certain
combinations that could or could result in a woman that is or
is not attractive depending on yours or others personal
preferences in some cases where upon each would have to decide
on their own if someone was or was not possibly attractive in
their view, sometimes, maybe? YMMV. IANAL.
\_ I think there are accepted standards of beauty and my comment
was based on those. You can have your own preferences, just
like you can choose your own editor even though ED is the
standard.
\_ I think there are actually a few different standards of
beauty. Fertility is considered attractive cross-culturally
but that can be represented in quite a few different ways.
\_ Average people look... average. What population do you
sample? For example, younger populations tend to look
better.
\_ Different flowers blossom and wither at a different rate.
Latina women blossom at around 14-15 years old, but they
tend to balloon up and look like Jaba the Hut by the time
they're 24 years old. There's something about the early
release of growth hormones. Like fireworks: great sparkle,
but only for a short period.
\_ You think Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba, Adriana Lima, or
Alessandra Ambrosio look like Jabba?
\_ Don't blame their Jaba the Hut genes. Latina blood has
superior digestive systems. Before the Conquistadores
came they ate grass and grain and looked beautiful.
But when they changed their diet to corn and other
starchy materials they started to balloon up. If there's
ever going to be WW3, skinny people will start to die from
the lack of starch while the Latinas will be the ones who
will survive by eating grass and grains. They will look
beautiful again. Latinas on grain diet rule!!!
\_ Jessica Alba is half Danish.
Alessandra Ambrosio is Italian/Polish.
Maybe they need some non-Latina blood to prevent
ballooning.
\_ Most Latinas do have mixed blood and I think it is
why they are so beautiful. They have the best
features of many races.
\_ Maybe you are full of shit. Who knows!

And she sends long mail to the person right in the next cubicle to

is due to her pregnancy or she's beginning to show the real side of

guys, 36% of asian-american men are married to white women.

\_ They WANT to have more children or they are more CAPABLE
of having more children?
\_ can == capable
\_ The key is SELECTIVE breeding, a known and proven technique
used since the dawn of domestication. Basically, assume
the attributes are either/or (dominant/recessive), which
is NOT the case here but for the sake of simplicity, you
have the followings:
1 25% chance of smart + healthy
2 25% chance of dumb + healthy
3 25% chance of smart + weak
4 25% chance of dumb + weak
So if you have LOTS of children and kill off all 2,3, and 4
then only the smart and healthy one will propagate and
improve the race.

\_ When we try to make our horses/dogs better
(faster, smarter, stronger), it's called
"improving the breed." When we encourage
smart people to breed (e.g. Singapore has
tax incentives for educated ppl to have
more kids), it's called eugenics. Go figure.
\_ When you can tell the difference between live
stock and humans, come back and we'll talk
about it.
\_ Well, there isn't really that much
difference, when you come right down
to it. -!pp
\_ And it is the inability to see that this
both true and not relevant to society
at the same time that separates the
geeks and freaks from the norms.

be an elegant solution. The reality is always
much messier.

9/24 Love flying? Better take a blood thinning medication. Your risk
of a blood clot on a flight is a whopping 1 in 4656.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20974035
\_ We're going back in time!
\_ Here's the original paper: http://preview.tinyurl.com/2lpeo8
They specifically do not recommend taking blood-thinners
prophylactically. Also, your risk of getting a blood clot
is about 1 in 1000 per year even if you never fly. They
estimate that flying a lot increases your yearly risk by 3x.
\_ They say that anticoagulant use is not justified in the
general case, but may benefit some.
\_ This ties in well with the question about drinking. Drink a lot
of booze before the flight and you will not be nervous and you
will reduce your chances of dying, too.
\_ Apparently, alcohol actually increases risks of blood clots.
-- ilyas
\_ How can that be? Doesn't, for example, red wine thin the
blood?

boost the stellar reputation psychologists have in the field

\_ The blonde thing is just one example of the article's actual
point about youth signifiers. It probably applies mostly to
white women of course as blondes aren't found in Asia...
Small girls with long shiny black hair probably evoke youth and
health just as much or more. And not everyone is the same.
Also, there are a lot more white guys around the bay area than
there are young blond blue-eyed women. So if they don't really
have a choice you can't make many conclusions about their
preference.

5/15 What's a good city with the convenience of a city (walkable
retails, grocery, easily accessible clean young women) and the
luxury of a suburbia (new, nice big homes, private, quiet, safe)?
Does such a place actually exist?
\_ If you can afford a penthouse in Manhattan or Wilshire in LA
you'll have a huge place (3500sqft and more) that's quiet, safe,
and is close to retails and people (young women).
\_ If you can afford a penthouse in Manhattan or Wilshire in LA,
you don't have to be close to young women. Young women will come
to you.
\_ Never heard of such a place. Closest would perhaps be loft
housing in a city.
\_ Every city has places like that, but you have to be rich to
afford to live there. See Pacfic Heights.
\_ Vancouver was the closest I've seen to what you describe. They
are also in the middle of building a light rail system between
downtown and the airport.
\_ My home in Fremont is 10min-walk from 99 Ranch and some restaurants.
It's 1500sqft and it's probably worth $600k now. Don't know about
accessibility of clean young women.
\_ Seconded. Walkable, close to mass transit, great dim-sum,
and lots of young & super hot HK women (and wealthy too).
\_ My home in Fremont is 10min-walk from 99 Ranch, Walgreens,
Albertson's and some restaurants. It's 1500sqft and it's probably
worth $600k now. Don't know about accessibility of clean young
worth $600k now. Don't know about accessibility of white young
women.
\_ I'm glad you like Fremont but the positive things you pointed
out are not unique to suburbs. Like all the other suburbs
it is nice and quiet but it just doesn't match the convenience
of a real city.
\_ Many homes in the Sunset and Richmond districts in SF are not
walkable to grocery stores or restaurants.
\_ This is not really true, in that there is no place in
the Sunset that is more than 1 mile from a restaurant.
But some places are pretty far, so far that walking to
your grocery store is not really an option. But everyplace
in the Sunset and Richmond has a bus within a few blocks.
The Richmond is actually very well served by retail, by
the way.
\_ generally economics prevent retail and 'new big homes'.
single-family homes don't provide the population density for retail
places to be profitable within walking distance, for a reasonable
definition of 'walking distance'.
\_ Cupertino
\_ Far from mass transit. Too insulated, you don't meet hot
young women. You can't walk to grocery and other retails.
Cupertino has all the great amenities of a suburb but it
does not have the convenience of a big city.
\_ Safeway is like less than 1 mile from my house and
Target/Trader Joes/AMC Saratoga are like 1.5 miles
from my house as is the Cupertino Library and a bunch
of food places on De Anza and Stevens Creek. Generally
I can get around w/ my bike and there is plenty of bus
service.
\_ Yeah but it's not nice to walk/bike around. Busy
wide streets and typical huge parking lots. De Anza
is not walkable at all.
\_ This is a point worth emphasizing; a walking district
isn't just "services within walking distance." A street
isn't a walking district just because it's not far from
a WalMart; when you walk in an urban walking district,
you interact with community members and shop owners,
see unexpected things, and get pleasure from the
simple act of walking. Walking on big streets to
big box stores where you buy stuff on auto-pilot and
do self-checkout does not replace urban living. -tom
\_ Narrow minded. Stupid. Or both.
You completely failed to realize that most of the
patriotic Americans do not want or care about
interactions with strangers and bums in the city,
and all the inconveniences that go with urban
living like pollution, drugs, crimes, etc. People
value safety, privacy, and better quality of
living (more living space, newer environment,
cleaner) over all those things you mentioned.
\_ Spoken steeped in suburban privilege. You
are clearly too short for this discussion.
\_ HAHAHAHAHA... thanks for the good laugh...
\_ You do understand you are asking for contradictory things, right?
Walkable with close retail implies high density, while private
with big homes implies low density. |

before marraige and it is nice to not have to anymore.
\_ Why are you framing this question for married men? Also, I am
surprised at how many people are okay with having their wives
on hormones. Maybe they should consider vasectomies. I fail to
see how married == no condom. Disease shouldn't be an issue, but
kids still are.
\_ How many men out there do you personall know are NOT ok
with their wives on pills?

contraceptives they use.
\_ Dude, anal sex is so much better without a condom.
\_ You know most women have no problems with the pill. Why should
I care if she has no side effects?
\_ Actually, a lot of women do have side-effects and other
issues with the pill. Not a problem for the Hooters girl you
want to bang. A big problem if it's your wife and you care
about her health.
\_ Vasectomies are cool if you don't want any more kids again ever,
but they're not a reversible form of contraception. Condoms,
the pill, etc. are.
\_ Sex with a condom is not sex... sorry.. after wife gave birth
had to use condom, because she couldn't go back on the pill
because she was breast feeding. It's just not the same. The

3/1 While we're talking about sex, I just want to give you a datapoint:
I've been having bareback sex for many years and have not gotten
any girl pregnant. The secret is knowing WHEN not to have sex.
\_ "bareback" usually refers to gay sex, or butt-sex, so, maybe
it's not too surprising you haven't gotten anyone pregnant?
\_ Have you heard of a BBBJ? What do you think the "BB" is
referring to?
\_ I never heard this before. What's BBBJ? BareBackBlowJob?
\_ That, or you're infertile.
\_ Or they've had an abortion or used Plan B w/o telling you.
\_ Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner!
\_ Actually I read a paper that said that when trained on the
rythym method (including taking temperature regularly, etc etc)
test subjects had less unwanted pregnancies than with most
other forms of birth control. That being said it's kind of
a pain in the ass to follow the full method and does
require training.
\_ Note the recent study that showed the prevalence of HPV among women
(as high as 45% among young women).
\_ Note that HPV has nothing to do with pregnancy.

2/13 The doomed blonde's former bodyguard, Alexander Denk, reveals
exclusively to TV's Extra that he and Smith had a torrid affair
for two years and thinks he quite possibly could be the father
of little Dannielynn.
\_ Gonna be a lot of paternity tests going on...
\_ They should just compare the kid's DNA to the Nat'l Geo.
DNA project. Odds are just as good.
\_ The Son is the Father. Test the dead boy's DNA.
\_ I can see the http://theonion.com article already "3.3 billion males

\_ I am not the father of ANS's baby. I do wonder if she's the
mom though.
\_ How many minutes of the day did her vagina not have a cock buried
in it?
\_ Just curious... if this were a guy who went through women at
the same rate would you be as critical? Or is it high-five time?
\_ Let's see: Howard K. Stern, JD; Larry Birkhead; Prince Frederic von
Ahnalt; and now Alexander Denk. I heard that there is a three-day
period where an egg can be fertilized, and I heard that sperm can
survive in the vagina for three days. Hence her OB/GYN should have
determined the six-day window where the impregnating sperm was
introduced. This means she slept with four different guys at least
once in those six days, probably all without condoms. Hmm. Which
one was her official boyfriend back then, and what does he think
now?

\_ "To The Limit." I watched it on Showtime channel.
\_ "To The Limit." The scene was http://www.csua.org/u/i1v

\_ No, it doesn't mean she slept with 4 guys in 6 days. It means
4 guys who have slept with her (ok probably only 2-3 of them)
at some time want to get their legal hands on that kid so they
can get whatever cash she has and have a claim on the old dead
guy's $400 million.
\- Wasnt that a Charles Dickens novel? Blonde House?
\_ But if some of them knew in their heart that they didn't sleep
with her around that 6-day perold, they'd know there is
with her near that 6-day perold, they'd know there is
virtually no chance that they can claim fatherhood. False
positive from DNA tests are very rare. Unless some of them
plan to bribe or blackmail the lab technicians, or file a
motion to bar DNA tests for the baby and/or for the remaining
motion to bar DNA tests for the baby and/or for all the other
guys.
\_ 6 day period? You think anyone has any idea what that
exact 6 day period is? Anytime in that month give or take
a few weeks is good enough. You can not reverse calculate
from the child's birthday which 6 day period the child was
conceived. As far as knowing in their heart goes, even
if they knew they couldn't be the father this is a good
way for them to get some press, write a book, maybe get
an acting career going, and maybe even get paid off by
some other party to just go away.
\_ You're assuming that these guys know when the 6 day period was.
Smith probably knew, but I doubt she told them. Also, condoms
aren't perfect. |

12/26 1/6 women are victims of [attempted] rape, compared to 1/33 for men.
Wow, never realized that it's that high:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16361153
\_ I don't think it is. They cite the U.S. Department of Justice
for their statistics, so here's some data from them:
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/cvus/current/cv0502.pdf
According to that, in 2005 there were about 115,000 rapes or
attempted rapes (including verbal threats) of women in the U.S.
age 12 and over. Even assuming each one of those was a different
victim, which seems unlikely, that's a maximum of 0.09% of women
who can be victims each year. That can't possibly add to one
in six (17%) over a lifetime.
Also, the article says "experts say men are far less likely to
report a rape to authorities". But according to the USDOJ the
reporting rates are nearly equal, at least if you lump together
rape and sexual assault:
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/cvus/current/cv0593.pdf
They estimate a 36% reporting rate for men and 38% for women. |

\_ Right here, baby. -Fat Albert
\_ You should look outside that ethnic group for men to
improve your odds. Due to racism, unequal application
of the law, and economic factors, a huge percentage of
young male blacks are in prison, leaving the rest in
insanely high demand. Your odds are poor especially
if you're not really attractive.
\_ If you repeatedly get caught selling drugs, stealing stuff,
mugging, or shooting people, you go to jail regardless of skin
color. There is nothing racist about that. You also forgot to
mention a culture that resists assimilation into the mainstream
and looks down upon those who do try to succeed.
\_ I think "get caught" is the operative phrase here. Blacks
and whites have similar rates of drug use, but blacks are
three times as likely to be incarcerated for it.

8/22 I went to a doctor and she misdiagnosed my case. Luckily my second
doctor found the problem and I was given the right treatment. A few
months later I had the problem again and went to see a doctor, but
unfortunately they gave me the first doctor again. Once again she
quickly jumped into the same conclusion and I pointed out that her
first diagnosis was wrong, afterwards she became very upset, defended
her decision with a long tirade, and finally insulted me with comments
like how someone like me could question her authority, after she
went through all the trouble in medical school to get her hard earned
MD. What's the best way to expose her incompetency and bitchiness?
\_ I can't help you here but I don't have much respect for doctors
myself. While there are touching stories of doctors who volunteer
their personal time to help others, two of my friends are now
MDs and I can tell you that they have serious attitude problems.
Ever since I've known them as a child, they have always had
very assertive personalities, so much to a point that they
can be described as being overly aggressive and unapologetic.
Both of my friends have this sense of entitlement -- they've made
it so people must respect their authority. It seems to me that
in the old days, Doctors cared about the people. But these days,
they're simply trying to get through as many patients as possible.
Young doctors working with modern healthcare systems seem to be
the worst doctors.
\_ Oh, how I long for The Good Old Days when doctors cared, gas was
cheap and women were hot, easy, but not at all slutty, oh no.
Newflash: doctors were always just people and a lot of people
just suck. Women were always like this. And gas is about the
same price now as it always was in gallons/value. This doctor
isn't going out of business because the medical insurance
system provides very little and usually no choice in who you
go to for medical care. The invisible hand only applies to
situation with competition. I see my primary care physician
as nothing more than a referal service I pay $15 to send me to
someone off her list who might actually know something. She
doesn't actually seem to know anything or really care that much.
\_ what is your metric for saying gas price hasn't changed
in terms of gallons/value?
\_ This is a free market. If she's really that bad, her patients will
stop going to her. In another word the invisible hand force will
take her out of the free market without your intervention.
\_ great schtick
\_ It's not that easy because such a high percentage of
doctors are like that. They'll just find another job,
or the healthcare system will just throw new patients at
them, who don't know better to complain. The basic
attitude I've encountered is, "I don't know what your
problem is (and I know everything), so it must be all in
your head. Here, take some prozac and come back for
more when you run out."
I used to have Kaiser. I never used it for years so I
didn't know anything about it, but when I needed it, it
was as worthless as a piece of dirt on the ground. No,
it was worse than that, because my life wouldn't depend
on a piece of dirt on the ground. I went through 5
different Kaiser doctors (3 in this area and 2 in San
Diego area) and except for one, they were completely
useless. The one that seemed to care doesn't really
count because I only saw him on the way to San Diego
under a personal emergency of sorts. As far as I was
concerned, there was only one way, which was to switch
to PPO and find my own doctor who is willing to admit
that s/he doesn't know everything. Even PPO didn't help
that much financially because they wouldn't pay for
"experimental" treatments. I have no direct proof, but
I believe I would have killed myself by now if it
weren't for the "experimental" treatment, which I had to
work hard to find. I'm still somewhat messed up (have
slight tendency of autoimmunity), but at least I'm
living a productive life. In case anyone cares,
environmental poisoning is not 100% reversible, so drink
clean water and don't eat stuff that may have bad stuff
in it (e.g. large carnivorous fishes and whales --
mercury).
\_ You want me to give up whale meat?!?!! Fuck off, I'd rather
die young than live without whale meat.
\_ I'm sure you just enjoying making idiotic comments,
but it's never about living long. I'd rather live
healthy 50 years than suffer through 100 years. It's
the state of mind, not length of life.

calls ... figure it out. BTW, I thought the book COMPLICATIONS
