  - Persecution! -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 17:47
- I like her amusing brand of nutso. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 29, 17:42
- but the fact that she's a stark raving lunatic is okay...? -- nm - znufrii Jun 29, 17:40 2
  - well yeah, as long as you pass pivotal legislation like the Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act - Stewie Jun 29, 17:50 1

- I would think (not having read your novels) that the central question is this: - mara Jun 29, 17:00 9
  - More so in Freakshow than in Later, Skater. Erin in particular is a well rounded, dynamic three dementional character with strenghts and weaknesses. - Qale Jun 29, 17:07 8
    - Having a villain that's female is *not* misogynsitic. A female who is strong-willed, independent, determined, and strong is the opposite of misogyny. - mara Jun 29, 17:12 7
      - I think it can be misogyny in some cases. depends on context. There's an author I like whose female characters are all strong, independent, etc. - loosilu Jun 29, 18:25
      - *nods* Yeah, I'm just wondering if maybe they're upset because of the way certain plot winds up. I would think Bret Easton Ellis was misogynistic. -- nm - Qale Jun 29, 17:17 4

        Yes. -- nm - Qale Jun 29, 18:31 2
        
        *smug grin* His take on humanity isn't generous enough to allow him an opportunity to realize his full potential for misogyny. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 18:32 1
        
        The females seem to get the worst of it, though in his quest to hit bottom. -- nm - Qale Jun 29, 18:35
      - I could write some misogynistic stuff if you need an example. - Redmond Jun 29, 17:15

      - Um, load game. Press B for about 3 minutes. Get 1,000 points. -- nm - Tim Jun 29, 17:02 4
        
        What game? -- nm - David Jun 29, 17:23 2
        
        Avatar : The Last Airbender - The Burning Earth (nm) - Tim Jun 29, 17:27 1
        
        : Unneccesary Subtitle. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 17:39
        
        I think getting to the part where you actually fight guys (so you can press B a lot) took longer. -- nm - Tim Jun 29, 17:03
    - Aw, that just brings you back to the main page. -- nm - Tim Jun 29, 16:53
Also on the wack-job front, apparently the Ethiopian Patriarch apparently did NOT promise to show the Ark of the Covenant publicly. -- (link) - Mop Jun 29, 16:42 4
- God forbid they put their 2000 year old claim up to scientific review. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 29, 16:53

      - That was the Ryan Reynolds Deadpool movie version from Wolverine. -- nm - Remlik Jun 29, 16:53
"About 17% of households would default � even if they could pay the mortgage � when the equity shortfall hits 50% of the house�s value, they found." -- (link) - Loyola Jun 29, 16:40 2
- Fascinating stuff. More people should read this. We're only at the tip of the iceberg on foreclosures here. -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 17:02
- We would have walked away from the last place. -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 16:44
The video footage of the moon landing is grainy because of the rebroadcast from Australia. NASA may have just found the original - non-grainy - tapes. -- (link) - Mop Jun 29, 16:33 22
- Aside: For those who don't recall, there's a cute little movie called "The Dish" about the Australian relay station that broadcast the landing. -- (link) - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 29, 16:47 3
  - thanks, added it to my zip list -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 17:05 2

- Can I take my tinfoil hat off now? -- nm - DaMENACE Jun 29, 16:36 11
  - I find that if you wear tinfoil as socks you don't look as ridiculous. -- nm - Loyola Jun 29, 16:38 1
    - I have those on too. Athlete's foot is caused by the grey aliens impanting the space between my toes with microbes. -- nm - DaMENACE Jun 29, 16:40
  - Now we can see the flying saucers in the background! -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 16:36 8
    - I knew it! Sales of my tinfoil hats are going to go through the roof! -- nm - DaMENACE Jun 29, 16:38

        (* The fact that I had to look up Michael Collins' name is a sad statement about the If-You-Ain't-First, You-Layast mentality :)) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 16:39 2
        
        Collins didn't even "show". He stayed in orbit. But he's Han Solo. He gets to drive the space ship. -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 16:43 1
