- in most cases, I agree with it 100% -- nm - groiny Dec 4, 11:28
- Assuming X concerns children, that's a sentiment that, while probably true, isn't nice to go around saying to people - con_carne Dec 4, 11:28 3
  - this is what I meant with my post -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 11:29
  - you mean like a lawyer telling us all about lawyery things that we are too dumb to know? -- nm - groiny Dec 4, 11:29 1
    - Ha, no. There is just a danger of silencing people/scaring them into shutting up, and who's to say they won't also have good insights? -- nm - con_carne Dec 4, 11:35
- it depnds what X is - if it's specifically about raising kids, probably true. if it's about other things, not necessarily true. - Andie Dec 4, 11:23 13
  - [deleted] 12
    - Better to drop that conversation. She is crazy but will never see it. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 11:33
    - It might hold some water if it wasn't for the whole completely unrelated nature of the events. - Will Hunting Dec 4, 11:32
    - expanding: being a parent doesn't give you any magical abilities to say what makes for good parenting - Reagen Dec 4, 11:31 4
      - Yes, but I think where the statement is true, is that sometimes people without children don't appreciate how difficult it can be to implement what you - pmb Dec 4, 11:36 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        I agree. the difficulty is something you can't really prepare for. having an opinion on what may or may not be a bad idea is of course possible. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 11:40
        
        And, to be clear, I think it has nothing to do with Dawson's situation where I think the "you can't understand" argument makes no sense. -- nm - pmb Dec 4, 11:38
    - that's, yeah, that's insane. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 11:28
    - hrmmmm. yeah, i probably wouldn't respond because that's the whole helicopter parent thing that drives me nuts. -- nm - Andie Dec 4, 11:28 3
      - also - if i had a child with cancer, i would *hope* i would be encouraging them to do EVERYTHING they wanted, here and now. - Andie Dec 4, 11:29 2
        
        but then isn't it a very Catholic POV to avoid the big bad world? -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 11:33

- I find it kind of condescending really -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 11:23
ST Movie Poll, rank these from best to worst: Hunger Games 2, Skyfall, Star Trek Into Darkness - Strongbad Dec 4, 11:15 11
- If I had to choose to rewatch one of them, it would be Skyfall. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 4, 11:24 1
  - (Or else maybe I'd just go finish watching Johnny English Reborn) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 4, 11:24
- Hunger Games 2, Skyfall, ST -- nm - groiny Dec 4, 11:18
- ST........................................... ............................Skyfall.......... ............................................. ............... - Loyola Dec 4, 11:18 1

A girl just walked by me in the deli looking like a twin of Alice Eve. I almost fell down just standing there. -- nm - Max Dec 4, 11:14 2

  - boobies? -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 11:15
LYC, now entering Day 5 in my persistant little undiagnosed illness . . . - call me Ishmael Dec 4, 11:03 13

        Did you ever try flat sprite? Buy a bottle and shake all the fizz out of it. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 11:22 3
        
        Forgot to say, then drink it. Just shaking it and putting it down again won't make you feel better. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 11:22 2
        
        i was like . . . "Whaaa -- ?" . . . but seriously, flat Sprite helps? -- nm - call me Ishmael Dec 4, 11:23 1
        
        It will for intestinal and stomach discomfort. Don't ask me how. Stay on that for a day or two and see how you get on. - Loyola Dec 4, 11:25
        
        That is part of it. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 11:17
From the BBs ... I am flippin' gobsmacked at the hiring of Mike Riley. That was completely out of the blue, but I think it was a good decision. - ReluctantCynic Dec 4, 10:56 2
