When I was a teenager, I became convinced (because I knew everything) that the 'utopian' future that Star Trek was premised upon was flawed. Humans, fundamentally, can't change, and we'd be stuck with things like greed, poverty, famine, cruelty, etc...

In a college biology class, I learned about the tame foxes in Russia

You know what I've noticed in addition to this, stating "I hope you don't land on [insert property I have a hotel on here]" seemingly makes them roll exactly the number needed to land on that property. My friends get pissed because every time I do say it then it happens and they get screwed.

The last time I played Monopoly, the pipe-sucking slum lord I was RPing wiped the floor with my opponents. They were none too happy about losing so hard that we didn’t even finish the game and haven’t played since. If they ever read this and ask for a rematch, I’ll declare my retirement as the undefeated champion of…

I wish someone would write an article called, "How not to get ridiculously unlucky on die rolls on your first lap of the Monopoly board EVERY SINGLE GAME."

It's like Van Gogh and Timothy Leary had a baby then taught it how to paint!

BUDDY COMEDY PROPOSAL: a lonely eccentric buys a jar of human remains, which turns out to be haunted by the ghost of a young woman institutionalized for hysteria (the psychological crime of wanting to do stuff when ladies weren't allowed). Together, they solve mysteries of the mind, and travel the world.

Hee, hee "grind me" as a curse word among baristas. Brilliant!

Oy, yeah. You really have to look at it in the context of its time. It might look silly and perhaps a little sexist today, but miniskirts were a regular thing back then. Hell, a lot of people saw them as a symbol of female empowerment, and the idea behind Star Trek was an equal future...

LOL, yeah. If a chick is going to take the time to make a nice costume, she obviously values the source material to a certain extent. Hell, even if she just bought the costume and went to the convention, that could still be a lot of cash to spend. Again, not something she'd do if she didn't care about the stuff.

So, because you've suffered emotional pain, you feel enabled to exclude and deride others, thereby inflicting emotional pain on them? With a revenge streak like that, no wonder you got shot down.

Hmm. I guess this is supposed to be striking a blow for feminism. You bust out some 3rd wave feminist terms here to make your case. However, I'm about to drop another layer of feminism on you.

Guys, it was the '60s; mini skirts were everywhere. You could see young women in skirts as short as The Uhuru on the streets of any city. It was a wonderful time to be a young man.

This is way over-thought.

look, i will use small words. you took this completely out of context:

Dawkins didn't come out with this remark "right away", there was a heavy discussion going on about the whole Elevator thing and eventually Dawkins wrote his "Dear Muslima" as a comment on PZ's blog. I think it was the second or third "attempt" by Myers to raise awareness and it turned into a full out gender war.…

Allow me to be the first person to stand up for the other side of the equation here. The comment thread below is full of praise for this article and castigation for the "offenders"... so allow at least one point in rebuttal, if you will.
