I agree on not being able to fully control thoughts, but I think the idea is to at least try to minimize certain thoughts as much as possible. I believe the idea may be that the less likely they are to see a woman dressed a certain way, the less likely they are to have thoughts of her body linger in their mind. I…

Yeah, I want so badly to believe it is a joke, especially since they apparently skidaddled without even putting out the fire. Also, did they leave the bowl? And putting the bowl on the ground? I started laughing hysterically when they happened because I could only think of "use this fire to put out the other fire" a…

Or use it to cover up embarrassing crap. I'm being slightly tongue in cheek here, but I could imagine government officials going "let them believe anything to avoid them finding out we had worse ideas we spent time and money on than telepathy and a gas to turn people gay."

Not to mention reselling. Some of the ebook versions for my class are only $10 cheaper, so I might actually come out better or break even buying the hard copy and reselling. Even if there are books I actually use in reference at the job once the class is finished, I'd rather have them on my desk (and pulling out the…

I am disturbed by how some of the female characters who are turned into male characters seem to practically think all men deserve gold stars and cookies for not being rapists.

Travel should be conducted internet-style via a series of tubes. Or, modified Starship Troopers style where people are taken up to a launch pad in a space elevator, and then shot out of cannons in little capsules that are programmed to land at pre-determined coordinates on the earth's surface. Also, I think both of…

Actually, it would be the government saying "we are going to recognize everyone's rights to choose who to share their benefits with regardless of familial relation and the government has no business regulating romantic partnerships and elevating those partnerships over other relationships."

But you can't fill out a marriage license with close relatives, even if you want them to be the ones to share your benefits. And in some states, there are laws regarding cohabitation, bigamy, and consummation that could be violated in filling out a marriage license with one person but having a relationship with…

It makes me wonder what status music with instruments have. I wonder if they are used in the dance? Making musical instruments is probably not in order because while it is creating, the end use is for something recreational/without tangible value (unless they might be used for the dance). I'm also very interested to…

This might very well devour more of my time today than TV Tropes, in part do to gyms like this:

And I believe that in the "End of Time" when the 10th doctor regenerated, the 11th initially thought he had been regenerated as a woman (he felt his hair, then moved around and realized he had an adam's apple). No set race has been established too with River Song being regenerated from Amy's childhood friend Melanie.…

I mostly agree but think recent conversations (not your comments, but the posts that the stories themselves address) have been placing all the attention on the women themselves. I agree with most of your posts, and as to the one I replied to, agree with 1) above. I think the picture accompanying the story is offensive…

I responded to the example you actually posted, not the comment you almost posted. The "nerd" in your comment is directing their comment at JWoww and not the company. I think the Voice of God would be more likely, not to come back about JWoww needing to be at the con, but about the fact that the company is escaping…

Or instead of Booth Generic Apes you could have Booth Bonobos? No wait, bad idea. Bonobos aren't as cute to me as other apes and costumes of them might be hard to get, plus, they aren't that rowdy and depicting them as such would have anthropologist and primatologist distracted from the nachos.

Or: WHY IS MORE IRE DIRECTED AT J-WOWW A PAID MODEL THAN THE COMPANY THAT PAID HER?!!!!!!!!11!!!!!

That's nice and all, but I don't want her to be sorry just because she hurt some people's feelings, I think she needs to be sorry for saying something homophobic, sexist, and erasing for the apology to mean anything and be indicative of personal growth regarding homophobia and stereotypes. Some people have their…

Because without context, it seems to be drawing incompatibility between hijab and the spirit of Judo. What does any of the quote you provide have to do with hijab being incompatible with the spirit of Judo? The quote suggests that to fight wearing a hijab, is not to compete in the spirit of Judo.
