This is a sweet idea. I can see how people would find a lot of gyms (and some of their members) intimidating.

His stupid organisation's membership has exploded under his leadership. Apparently there are a lot of them.

Old but classic, and faintly relevant:

Well in that sense he was right: it is relevant. But as a solid example of what kind of shit to avoid when trying to find things out on the internet.

...Who the fuck is Adam Carolla? Should I care what he thinks?

I went to a talk by Peter Higgs a while ago and he said that an astrophysicist had told him that the statistical significance of the data already acquired on this probable-Higgs is greater than that for last year's Nobel Prize i.e. the initial discovery of dark energy. May be worth considering.

I agree.

No, and I appreciate you being a jackass in your response. My point was that people are complaining that what she's doing only hurts the people when her beef was with the state. I was saying that if you hurt the state, you hurt the people. You can't solely attack the state and hope to effect any real change without…

When a state doesn't totally represent the people, it's hard to establish whether an action against the state also unfairly penalises the people who don't necessarily agree with their government's actions. For example, economic sanctions against a state primarily hurts the people. The rulers lording it up in their…

I'm not going to respond to the latter parts of the post, only point out that since gay, black and female Americans serve in the US military, hold positions in Congress and the Senate, and attend schools and universities in the US, they clearly face no discrimination in the US.

Shows are no fun once the romantic subplot is resolved and they become a couple, if part of the premise was that they were dancing around each other. They suggested they'd couple up at the end of the 4th series and 'Into the Wild Green Yonder' because there was a chance they'd be the final ever appearance of the…

Spawn is definitely more niche than Spiderman. As is Blade.

They may not have been originally designed as such but putting shackles on the ankles of kids looks kind of dodgy.

Couldn't you design a test similar to the ones that detect color blindness:

Reluctantly agreed.

Have you ever thought of seeing someone about possibly having an anxiety disorder? Not that I mean to be patronising, it's just you haven't mentioned it and it sounds as if it could be useful.

People don't directly blame poor African women for the planet's state, but it's very common for people to identify overpopulation as the primary problem facing humanity, and that seems to inevitably point the finger at the people who are allegedly responsible for the population's continued growth: poor, African/Asian…

Defend =/= explain.

It's definitely better lying down, in my anecdotal experience.

What deterrent? The likelihood of nuclear war being initiated between (supposedly) rational nation states is minimal. It's all terrorists and religious lunatics from here on out.
