If he treated everyone as equals he'd be more... liberal!?

Aliantha · 10-18-2007, 05:13 PM

haha...that's probably true qq.

When I hear thinking I can respect, people... it's not bad just because you thought it; if it's bad it's because it was poor stuff from the beginning. I've heard thinking I can respect, and I've heard it around here.

I don't hear a lot of it from the people who are violently opposed to my kind of thinking, indeed the more violent they are the less impressive their own thinking. My most determined opponent here is about three steps short of commitment, is he not? I don't call it my thoughts, for I do not have exclusive ownership of these ideas, nor do very many of them originate with me. Sometimes I connect a dot or two; what's next is to see if the connections prove out.

Well, he's correct that he can't hear thinking that disagrees with his own.

Intriguing as always, man's obsession with her bosom.
Got my attention though, obviously.

A BARMAID has been fined for crushing beer cans between her bare breasts while an off-duty colleague has been fined for hanging spoons from her friend's nipples.

The 31-year old barmaid pleaded guilty in the local magistrates court to twice exposing her breasts to patrons at the Premier Hotel in Pinjarra, south of Perth.

The woman "is alleged to have also crushed beer cans between her breasts during one of the offences", in breach of hotel licensing laws, police from the Peel district of Western Australia said.

The barmaid and the hotel manager were both fined $1000, while an off-duty barmaid was fined $500 for helping to hang spoons from the woman's nipples, police said.

"It sends a clear message to all licensees in Peel that we will not tolerate this type of behaviour in our licensed premises," local police superintendent David Parkinson said.

I love the way paragraph three implies that hotel licensing laws explicitly forbid crushing beer cans between breasts. I think it is just poorly written, but, you never know, this is Australia...

That's a very funny story in my opinion. I don't know what the countryside is like in Peel, but that's nothing compared to some of the stuff that happens in outback pubs. What I want to know is, if nipples are out, are they allowed to hang spoons off their noses instead? I know this provides hours of entertainment for my kids when they're stuck at various different functions we take them to.

Then you will have to quit representing England for Dana.

Plbbbt!

Aliantha · 10-25-2007, 06:23 PM

I didn't represent England for Dana. I represented my own opinion from the perspective of a nation which has very similar laws, which you implied you weren't interested in anyway. *shrugs* whatever.

Having an opinion on another country, and clarifying what one considers to be the pertinent points in the discussion is very different to holding yourself up as a representative of that country and the views/character of its people.

In fairness to UG I don't think there's much wrong with referring to "us Americans" etc. I do it from time to time myself. It is simply a way of emphasising national character or predilections, in a way that contrasts with the national character or predilections of the other person's country.

To an extent I think most of us do that...of course UG tends to express himself (and indeed seems to hold views) with a greater than normal level of intensity, so it tends to stand out a little more when he does it. Just my take on it.

Well, those views that I hold intensely I write about with passion. Stuff that's milder or more abstract, that gets a milder treatment.
