It might also be that modern medicine means folks who have gluten issues 'thrive' better than before, instead of falling off early; also, given celiac disease does seem to have genetic components, this may have limited its prevalence in the gene pool before now. So it may just be that the only thing that really…

I didn't say you were, I said the term was. (And by extension, who used it.)

Anything that leads to a more targeted approach, rather than the chemical/radiation shotguns we have now, is gladly welcomed.

1.) "Man-splain"? The heck is that? Implying my nature makes any viewpoint I have irrelevant? Do yourself a favor and drop crap like that, it weakens your response and your point gets lost—or ignored.

Parody is protected under the First Amendment. And anyone who seriously thinks he's challenging that copyright needs to mellow out a bit.

Perhaps, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't track down and alert people to the ones we can account for ourselves.

I would hope so. Unexploded ordinance from the World Wars is still a problem in parts of Europe. SE Asia is probably at least as bad. Later conflicts with more targeted weapons may not have as many issues, but it never hurts to make sure.

It's true. I had one when I was a kid.

Not to mention that they've forgone 'Potemkin villages' for full-blown Potemkin metropoli. Seriously, believe what you hear about the Chinese economy with a grain of salt. (I'd suggest the whole salt mine, but too much sodium is bad for ya.)

Huh. Wouldn't let me post that. Curse you, fickle Internets!

I'll just leave this here.

I'll just leave this here.

What.

The brackets get used to paraphrase too, though that can (and sometimes is) abused very badly, to the point where the Gettysburg Address could potentially be bracketed down to "[I][like][pie]".

I'd like to see it do a jump forward a bit, like happened between TOS and TNG, and see the (re)establishment of the Second Federation...replace the 'Federation Sue' mentality of the later shows with 'yes, we make mistakes, things go wrong, but we can learn and start over better'. It's a message lots of folks could…

(Note to Ronald Moore & Co.: The implications of the common ancestors of the African survivors that gave rise to humanity being effectively Eurasian give me a massive migraine. I will be forwarding my analgesic bill.)

Not saying it was...oh nevermind, it was Cylons.

I knew there was a shortage of women in China, but this is starting to get silly.

Congratulations! You've all been trolled by Christopher Nolan!

Anyway, I'll just leave this here.
