Sailor Moon Uncensored

Parakiss, I agree with you on the point of vouchers being tantamount to public schools. I've never been a proponent of them. But for the most part on the whole debate, I think the two sides are both viable positions, neither being factually provable as right or wrong, each dependant on the worldview...

People need food to live. They don't "need" education to live, regardless of how important it is to ones future. And I doubt that every city has a good grocery store. Even if there will be schools in most places, what if one doesn't get one, or the closest one is a few hours away, or the only choic...

That is SO FREAKING COOL. I could only imagine the confused stares that all the participants would get as they ran around the city like that - makes me want to participate a whole lot more :) In Manhattan? This thing is perfectly normal compared to some of th people who run around Manhattan every d...

If there were no public schools, there'd be no guarentee that every area would have its own school nearby, or that those that do will follow any standard that actually teaches kids. If corporations are running schools for profit, how much profits can you make by providing a quality education in poo...

I've read Chick's stuff many times, but honestly I can't work up any energy for hating them. They're a bit too dogmatic and on point. If someone were out to make a deliberate parody of Christian extremism in comic form, it wouldn't look too different from what Chick puts out in earnest. There's no c...

I exclusively eat the shrimp-flavored ramen brick, not the cup--I don't like the vegetables in the soup. Indeed, I don't even take it as a soup--just the noodles. Sometimes I'll add canned shrimp. But I don't eat it as often as I used to because it's really fattening.

This assumes that students who are turned down by one private school will be able to find another one closeby enough that will accept them. Privates schools have a financial interest in being able to advertise themselves to parents as the best, which gives them an obligation to only accept students...

Private schools have the right to discriminate against what students to accept while public schools are under obligation to accept the students that private schools would turn away. It's not just students whose parents can't afford private schools. That's why I believe privatizing the school system...

I disagree strongly with privatization because it has been proven that no matter how ineffectively the government runs something, corporations can run them even worse. I agree that we should help the student who want to learn, but some student who want to learn are stuck in places where they have t...

Several people have disagreed with my contention that students in school should be grouped and separated, so let me defend. If we agree that the school system is a false representation of the adult world, I'm saying that forced interaction is one of the falshehoods. As an adult, a group you don't li...

With so many school-aged people here, and so many topics that touch one way or another on school life, I wanted to give some of my opinions on the American public school system. I think the whole system is massively flawed both in its educational and its social goals, and the inherent flaws are a ma...

Now I know I'm going to sound like a freak and nobody is going to know what i'm talking about. Remember the Jim Henson movie, the Dark Crystal? I always secretly wanted the Skeksis race to win. They held a special place in my heart. High Priest was my favorite. I'd watch that movie over and over ag...

I remember when I was in school, we got a false bomb threat, and basically the attitude was, ok, we know there's no bomb in the building, but we have to get everyone out of the building anyway. This was a few years before the series of school shootings that culminated in Columbine. So all the studen...

I really liked Amy and that one guy ( i only know his jap name ^_^ Umino) yea ! Three points: 1. In the dub, his name was Melvin. 2. Amy and Melvin were never a couple. Thankfully. 3. The term "Jap" is a racial slur. If you have to abbreviate the word "Japanese", use "jp". Hmmm. . . I don't have a ...

Talking of sepia tone reminded me of my favorite old movie: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It is such a feelgood movie, and the screenwriter, William Goldman, is one of my all-time beloved writers.The chase sequence with the mystery men is one of the greatest segments ever, with a wonderful pay...

Well, it depends. There are some people at various ages who need to expand their intellectual horizons. There are other people who simply have the sort of taste that runs to Sailor Moon. My grandfather lived to 70 and watched cartoons every week. He also read books on military history and scientific...

OMG!! I can't believe there's a thread to bitch and I didn't see it ^_^. Right now I have two things to say, one humorous and one serious. 1) Plastic wrap on CDs. Now I can understand that they're there to prevent people from stealing the CDs, but does it have to be that tight?! Then, when you get ...

You may also want to try a different client. I like the Burst client, available here. But it sounds like a network problem, so maybe it won't work.

There's also a Yahoo group dedicated to BT problems here. Maybe they can help more than we can.

Also, from the SuperS movie, when Minako is eating all the chocolate, she says, "Well, you can't put a door on someone's mouth!" Which is true.

Also, what is manic depression? I think I sort of know what it is, and I think I might be it, but I'm not sure. A friend of mine has manic depression, which is also called bipolar disorder. She'll have a couple of months being manic, and then switch to depression for a couple of months. When she's ...
