  1. That's an embarrassment to Obama or to West Virginia?
  2. This isn't about you, its about understanding other people and why they do things. And its not baseless. Where do you think your nausea comes from when you thinking about siblings getting married? In other words, why do you have that?
  3. Interesting stats, but lol at this line: So which is it, an insignificant number of homosexuals are even getting married or the "institution of marriage is made to suffer"? If they are barely even getting married how is the "institution suffering"?
  4. That's because its so stigmatized. Don't think that's really anything but a post-hoc justification. As someone said, siblings can have sex outside of marriage. I don't see why the size of the minority allows discrimination against them. If there are ten sibling couples that want to get married, why should they not have the same rights to marry as everyone else just because there are fewer of them? Also, the issue about their relationships not being stable is none of your business; the right has argued similar things about gay relationships. It's irrelevant.Anyways, I don't really care too
  5. The fact is that most people have deep moral intuitions about these things that are not really rational, but based on "gut feelings" that they cannot readily explain. For timewakefield's sake, I just wanted to him to access one of his own feelings about this issue -- aversion to brother/sister union is pretty universal, and while it can be justified by the the offspring issue, that's not really the direct source of it. The feeling that something is wrong is not always easy to rationalize oneself out of. Intuitions like these can be very deeply held, and can also be an important source of i
  6. How do you feel about brother-sister marriages and why?
  7. Here's another tip for those of you who had difficulty maintaing eye contact with the screen given that font...You can override the CSS on FCP with your own stylesheet. For instance, on Safari you can use the UserCSS plugin to set your own styles for various websites: http://code.grid.in.th/If you set a rule like the following, you will get a nicer font back for FCP: body { font: normal 13px helvetica,arial,sans-serif !important;} looks like this:
  8. DJ Vu -> Manage Ignore PrefsAt the top there is a checkbox for "Ignore all signatures when reading topics". You can also ignore individual user's signatures if you want.
  9. I think the only workaround is to 'mark forum as read' and then click the thread title. Clicking thread titles always takes you to first unread on the mobile version. It's definitely a deficiency of the mobile skin.
  10. Click the droplet thing to the right of "view new content"
  11. The features on the new board are better hands-down. May take some getting used to, but definitely better. The new font, though, I could do without. I'm assuming the look is not gov's priority given all he is dealing with but maybe down the line we'll get some skin options.
  12. When we did this upgrade it froze several times and had to be restarted. I found that reducing the number of posts per cycle made it less likely to crash.
  13. One thing that I don't like about the new IP Board skins is that they no longer have a separator between Pinned and regular topics. I think the board looks much better with a separator and it's easier to skip the pinned threads with your eyes. If the powers that be agree with me about this, the separator can be added back by modifying the forumIndexTemplate template (Forum View -> forumIndexTemplate). right after <foreach loop="topics:$topic_data as $tid => $data"> add <if test="$data['pinned']"> <if test="$this->hasPinned=1"></if><else /> <if tes
  14. It's very slow for me. I wonder if that's just because the post rebuilder is still running in the background?
  15. Don't think orgasm is a great example. We know quite about about the reward circuitry in the brain. There's also a decent number of functional brain imaging studies of orgasm in humans now, and none of it is too mysterious. Intelligence, now that's a much better example.
  16. There are also several websites devoted to debunking the bible.
  17. There are several entire websites devoted to debunking evolution.
  18. how about the mt. rushmore of american presidents?
  19. It was in the "anything but basketball section". yon: brvy's sick thread was deleted
  20. Seems like the natives are a bit restless.edit: aaand that's the end of that. we only lasted 20 minutes.
  21. Garlic is one of the greatest inventions of all time.
  22. Wait, so you guys are all facebook friends?
