i first saw them in Austrailia where they have a huge following, sorta like the Honda Civic and small popular cars like that. But i've yet to see one here. I don't know if they might have some in Canada either

i'm just north of l.a., ca... it started getting pretty windy outside so i looked up the weather and there was a severe weather alert, this is what it says...

..THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. THE LOS ANGELES BASIN
IS EXPECTED TO RECEIVE MOST OF ITS RAINFALL FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO
FRIDAY NIGHT. ANY THUNDERSTORM WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING BRIEF
HEAVY RAINS AND SMALL HAIL. DUE TO THE COLD AND UNSTABLE NATURE OF
THIS STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...CONDITIONS WILL ALSO
BE FAVORABLE FOR POSSIBLE WATERSPOUT AND FUNNEL CLOUD ACTIVITY.

oops sorry for the CAPS it just copied it that way... but seriously though, waterspouts and funnel clouds? i'm from ohio so we have tornadoes pretty regularly... i've never heard of one out here, and i've talked to lots of people out here about tornadoes. i know they can happen anywhere... but this sounds like an exaggeration? is it going to be that bad?

ps - any time it rains here people think it's a "storm" so...

This sounds very confusing but i have met about 3-4 girls who say they had no idea they were pregnet because they would have monthly periods. I actually think its weird and dont believe them because how in the world do you not see your body change? Is this true and if so why do they still have there menstrual period?

I requested non-religous text only responses because I think it goes without saying that religious texts have been inspiring us and enabling us to change our lives for the better for years! Everyone knows where to go to put their hands on the nearest Bible, Koran, collection of Sutras, etc. Besides, I think it is a benefit to reflect on thoughts and ideas of others from the past as well as the present. I am an avid reader and I love to go find books that are highly recommended! (Even if you leave a response that is laden with sarcasm or humor, I'm still going to check it out, just so you know!)

Hm, yeah, a game in Taiwan (Specifically, Maple Story TW) has blocked access from a load of countries, I'm wondering, other then using a proxy (It's hell to find a proxy based in Taiwan), is there any way to hide it and make it 'look like' I'm using an IP from Taiwan? (Without changing the address with any program, simply putting a 'fake' layer on it) Currently, I'm in Thailand, behind a boarding school's router, I've already tried several proxies but no avail.

P.S> Please, don't tell me to go Global or SEA, I got a high level char in TW version, and tyhe aforementioned versions are far behind, as well as filled with nubs and hackers.

Do you prefer your superhero movies to be campy and over the top like Batman 1-4. Or do you prefer movies that attempt to place themselves in the real world with real world situations and explanations?

Personally I prefer movies like Spider-Man and Superman where the superhero and villains may be over-the-top, but at least the alter egos exist in the real world and deal with real world problems.

I keep reading over and over again various ideas and comments about the fact that the Portuguese Police have set the McCann's up !!! Please can someone explain to me what would be gained from that cause it makes NO sense ??
As that would mean the real person behind this crime is still around and very likely to strike again..Im not at all naive, and im not saying that in the past that sort of thing hasn't happened..but in a case like this what possible reason would the Police have for framing the McCann's...as if this scenario was proved there would be global outcry...and that would do far more permanent damage to the Algarves Tourism than the original crime surely ??????????????????

The Male Privilege Checklist

1. My odds of being hired for a job, when competing against female
applicants, are probably skewed in my favor. The more prestigious
the job, the larger the odds are skewed.
2. I can be confident that my co-workers won't think I got my job
because of my sex - even though that might be true.
3. If I am never promoted, it's not because of my sex.
4. If I fail in my job or career, I can feel sure this won't be seen
as a black mark against my entire sex's capabilities.
5. The odds of my encountering sexual harassment on the job are so
low as to be negligible.
6. If I do the same task as a woman, and if the measurement is at
all subjective, chances are people will think I did a better job.
7. If I'm a teen or adult, and if I can stay out of prison, my odds
of being raped are so low as to be negligible.
8. I am not taught to fear walking alone after dark in average
public spaces.
9. If I choose not to have children, my masculinity will not be
called into question.
10. If I have children but do not provide primary care for them, my
masculinity will not be called into question.
11. If I have children and provide primary care for them, I'll be
praised for extraordinary parenting if I'm even marginally
competent.
12. If I have children and pursue a career, no one will think I'm
selfish for not staying at home.
13. If I seek political office, my relationship with my children, or
who I hire to take care of them, will probably not be scrutinized by
the press.
14. Chances are my elected representatives are mostly people of my
own sex. The more prestigious and powerful the elected position, the
more likely this is to be true.
15. I can be somewhat sure that if I ask to see "the person in
charge," I will face a person of my own sex. The higher-up in the
organization the person is, the surer I can be.
16. As a child, chances are I was encouraged to be more active and
outgoing than my sisters.
17. As a child, I could choose from an almost infinite variety of
children's media featuring positive, active, non-stereotyped heroes
of my own sex. I never had to look for it; male heroes were the
default.
18. As a child, chances are I got more teacher attention than girls
who raised their hands just as often.
19. If my day, week or year is going badly, I need not ask of each
negative episode or situation whether or not it has sexist
overtones.
20. I can turn on the television or glance at the front page of the
newspaper and see people of my own sex widely represented, every
day, without exception.
21. If I'm careless with my financial affairs it won't be attributed
to my sex.
22. If I'm careless with my driving it won't be attributed to my
sex.
23. I can speak in public to a large group without putting my sex on
trial.
24. If I have sex with a lot of people, it won't make me an object
of contempt or derision.
25. There are value-neutral clothing choices available to me; it is
possible for me to choose clothing that doesn't send any particular
message to the world.
26. My wardrobe and grooming are relatively cheap and consume little
time.
27. If I buy a new car, chances are I'll be offered a better price
than a woman buying the same car.
28. If I'm not conventionally attractive, the disadvantages are
relatively small and easy to ignore.
29. I can be loud with no fear of being called a shrew. I can be
aggressive with no fear of being called a *****.
30. I can ask for legal protection from violence that happens mostly
to men without being seen as a selfish special interest, since that
kind of violence is called "crime" and is a general social concern.
(Violence that happens mostly to women is usually called "domestic
violence" or "acquaintance rape," and is seen as a special interest
issue.)
31. I can be confident that the ordinary language of day-to-day
existence will always include my sex. "All men are created equal…,"
mailman, chairman, freshman, he.
32. My ability to make important decisions and my capability in
general will never be questioned depending on what time of the month
it is.
33. I will never be expected to change my name upon marriage or
questioned if i don't change my name.
34. The decision to hire me will never be based on assumptions about
whether or not I might choose to have a family sometime soon.
35. Every major religion in the world is led primarily by people of
my own sex. Even God, in most major religions, is usually pictured
as being male.
36. Most major religions argue that I should be the head of my
household, while my wife and children should be subservient to me.
37. If I have a wife or girlfriend, chances are we'll divide up
household chores so that she does most of the labor, and in
particular the most repetitive and unrewarding tasks.
38. If I have children with a wife or girlfriend, chances are she'll
do most of the childrearing, and in particular the most dirty,
repetitive and unrewarding parts of childrearing.
39. If I have children with a wife or girlfriend, and it turns out
that one of us needs to make career sacrifices to raise the kids,
chances are we'll both assume the career sacrificed should be hers.
40. Magazines, billboards, television, movies, pornography, and
virtually all of media is filled with images of scantily-clad women
intended to appeal to me sexually. Such images of men exist, but are
much rarer.
41. I am not expected to spend my entire life 20-40 pounds
underweight.
42. If I am heterosexual, it's incredibly unlikely that I'll ever be
beaten up by a spouse or lover.
43. I have the privilege of being unaware of my male privilege.

-- When 1 in 3 women are raped in their lifetimes- including in the
United States- we still have major problems in our society! When
sexual harrassment happens to at least half of all women in the
workplace creating a hostile work environment, we've got some
serious societal issues...
Rape is a war where the victims are blamed and continually battled
against by those in their own country. The effects of rape are more
horrific than for any other crime, and yet we don't see the heroes-
the women who had to crawl through the battlefield of the rape,
parts of her being blown up, her mental anguish in many forms
lasting a lifetime, affecting every aspect of her entire being....
if there is a trial, which is so unlikely anyway, she is blamed for
the war she suffered, her history is brought up, she is dragged
through the minefield yet again... do they do the same things for
our male heroes from the war? think about it....

Long story short; a fence behind my apartments was damaged and my landlord sent me a bill for $270. I am not responsible for the repairs because neither I, nor my children did the damage. On more than one occasion, I saw a kid from the neighborhood kick the fence boards down to "cut through the neighborhood", and I told my landlord that I would give the name and phone number of the kid who did it, but that I will not pay for it. So, yesterday in the mail I got a 3 day notice to pay my rent or move out. I did pay my rent, as always, but it seems as though my landlord applied a portion of my rent to the fence bill. Is it legal for them to do that?
