You are my hero.

It's Monty Python's world. We're just living in it.

1. T-PAIN is right.

Witches weigh as much as ducks as well.

I started dieting at age 8 with my parents' complete approval. Worst thing I ever did in my life, and it took years to get my body back on track. Dieting=BAD. It just makes you fatter.

Poor people don't always eat Cheetos and drink Mountain Dew, etc. ::raising eyebrows at that comment::

I don't really know her personally, so I have no idea. But, she does need, as I said, to pay respect to those that came before her and acknowledge her privilege.

You made me snort coffee out of my nose! ha!

I have to agree. Heck, the Joyce fans ... I mean, you think the Austen fans are serious, you don't know what serious is until you've met the James Joyce fans in action at academic conferences.

The existence of a fandom does not dilute the scholarship. How could it? Serious, peer-reviewed scholarship has a process that it undergoes, which cannot be duplicated by casual fans.

You know it's a movie, right?

Lying is one thing. Fraud is another. I can't help but wonder if there's a form of tax fraud here somewhere.

No, it's not. It's true I can't give you percentages. I don't think that sort of study even exists.

Yes, I am. Why wouldn't there be? I think most musicians have a deep respect for the music they play/produce and its history.

Yes, and it's a highly stupid and weird philosophy. I have a feeling that the money is an impetus as well, as was suggested by several others as well, upthread.

I would imagine you'd need the interest of law enforcement and a good prosecutor, plus a few legislators who wanted to help. Yeah, it wouldn't be easy.

I'm unclear why you're talking about those "pro-life" centers here. I feel you're trying to make a point, but I'm just not seeing it. But, I'm pretty certain we can be pissed and want to change both, without any conflict between the two, if that's what you mean. It's not really mutually exclusive.

I guess ... keep looking? I'm sure there are many examples.

If they kill healthy animals mere hours after taking them in, along with healthy puppies and kittens, it seems to me like a case could be made. My guess is no one cares enough to make it.

First, ha! So cute in his box!
