For some odd reason I have the urge to tell you that before you start researching, plotting and characterizations (which are important) I think you should focus on the basics like grammar and spelling. Having read your fics and reviewed them before, I feel that my 2 cents might have some value, although, of course, you are free to not follow it if that's your choice. Personally, I think that you have a very long way to go, and frankly, I wouldn't bet on making a living from it if I were you. I'm sorry if this seem harsh, but if you are as old as you say you are, then your Lit teachers ought to be spanked. For instance, what in tarnation does this sentence mean? It befuddles me. Your tenses are mixed ("showed" and "decline")

God, my cousin used to do that to me! Even now, as you mention it, I hear her mocking tone: "I don't know. Can you?" I read this out loud to my daughter. We had tears in our eyes. (also the part about the g-string) Priceless.

I'm no longer allowed to adjust my panties when I think no one is looking.

you got me there, me neither. I've never hang-glided.

You mean you actually like squee-ing fangirls? The Queen of England.

so guilty I could show you the whip marks. g/ng: likes the whip marks.

I am happy I got a little angst in. I am particularly proud to have pushed the emoticon envelope in that post. I am in a weird mood afterward, though, since I looked over someone's (who shall not be named) thread here at the forum, which brought back some catty memories for me. I am breathing through flared nostrils.

Australia? Will you watch old Mel Gibson movies now?

The only molecule I know for sure is H20, angled structure for cohesiveness. Can be a vapor, liquid or solid, depending on its temperature. Poly? (Or did she go?)

4000 (sighs) It's the simple things in life.

I'm just saying that there are all manner of negative connotations that really, one can take into consideration while making a life-changing decision. Babylonians used to throw newborns away, as did the Romans. Farmers do it to animals all the time. Death is everywhere. I could debate the same side as everyone else. We are born to die. However, I am not so physically inclined, since the thought of pain blood and broken promises, and throw-away people just sicken me for some odd reason. I guess I shouldn't be so sensitive. I know I keep saying "I'm a cold bitch" and all, but you're debating with a person who cried (not just once) when picachu kept zapping the stone-cold Ash. Some other trivial information I know about abortion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergot (scroll down to: Effects on humans and animals - Ergotism)

I think a debate needs to have all the elements in it. You can't stick your head in the sand once you have all the information you need in order to make a sane decision for yourself, and to let others know. Ignorance is death as far as I'm concerned, and hey, women died in childbirth just as much as they did any other way. But the legality of it (abortion) came into being through the communist regime, which was my point, and not really off topic. I think that should be a consideration. Oddly enough, those who "give themselves" to God (and Red, I'd go a step further and say they ought to be giving their entire being, not just part if they are following the doctrine correctly) consider themselves more connected to their fellow man. To legislate for the people, the legislators have to realize that the people are not all atheists. One wonders if by that statement all atheists are as politically goal-oriented as the average joe, or are they just as disillusioned and uncaring as everyone else (regarding political participation) Also, one wonders if atheists can make "good" legislation for religious folk.

lol That's hilarious! or what about Psychostorm's stories! (shudders) although I didn't have a pc when I was growing up, I did name my bed Sylvia. (am I a geek?)

There are 3 kinds of lies: 1. Lies 2. Damn Lies 3. Statistics.

But, but, the addition of 3 Scotsmen...? It boggles the mind.

I'm sure that times have changed since then, but man, that Russian revolution left a bad taste in my mouth. This is but one of them, and frankly, I didn't know or care about it until like a few years ago. But it makes a kind of twisted sense, doesn't it? I mean, I've heard stories in the Ukraine after 1919 regarding suicide rates amoung young women. I've heard stories about how the monasteries were shut down, and everyone in them disappeared. "Siberia" they said. One of the first things the Communist regime did was take over the media. They told the newspapers what to write, and if you didn't write what they approved of, well, too bad for you. No one knows the holocaust that happened in the Ukraine where millions were starved to death, the borders were closed. The word "genocide" was not part of the human language until the Russian revolution. This was an attempt at separating church and state. So. Am I wrong? On the one hand, the wonderful example of the middle east by Mr. Sliver, and here, an opposite one, of the scale upon which you have no clue. Just because things are "OK" now with Russia, do not think for one minute that the things done behind the iron curtain are forgotten. They might want to sweep things under the carpet, but they were things that were done. (Man, I thought for sure someone was going to bring up the Russian revolution! What do they teach you in school?)

not to be the devil's advocate or anything, but I'm pretty sick of people blaming the government for things one person did. A government is only as good as the people it appoints or hires. That's what it amounts to. I don't like it either, but when law and morality are suddenly two different things, I think that very bad things are going to happen. I'm interested in knowing how law and morality are different. How would you seperate church and state? Go ahead, I wanna see your head explode.
