  1. There's something you need to learn about people- all people.

    They are stupid, mean, jealous and petty and think that they are brilliant, magnanimous, trusting and generous.

    James, ALL PEOPLE means everyone. You're including me and a lot of my friends. Some of my friends are mean, some are petty, and some are jealous. Some have more than one of those traits. But none of 'em are stupid because I can't be around stupid.

    Also, there are people here I like (and people I don't) but I can assure you, speaking only for myself, I am not stupid. Am I mean? Yep, and I don't much care. Jealous? Nope. Petty? I don't think so.

    But you've taken a lot of very negative traits, lumped them together, and then accused everyone on the planet of having all of them. While I would say with 95% of the planet you're absolutely right, I have come to realize over the years, that not everyone on the planet sucks. I used to feel like you, for many years, but there are people who have proven to me that not everyone is like that. If you want to say all Evangelicals are like that, you're probably right but don't lump all 6+ billion people on the planet together. I take exception to that on behalf of me and my friends. You don't even KNOW my friends so how do you know what they're like? You don't.

    And it's fine if you want to feel that way. But you're wrong.

  2. I'm sorry, James! I simply didn't understand what it was.

    You listed it as an experiment. Then you posted more or less the same thing twice. Then you posted a list. Taken together, I was more confused than anything else. And, or course, if this was a story, there should be much more, so I was waiting to comment till I read some of the 'more' and had a better idea what this experiment was all about.

    I'm in with Cole here. I didn't realize it was ready for interaction yet.

    As for your personal issue, I commented directly on your blog.

  3. You're still wrong though: the "black" on white is DEFAULT on white.

    My default text colour is navy blue so I get "Navy Blue" on white.

    Your results will vary depending on how much you change your browser default settings. But the correct answer is BROWSER DEFAULT FOREGROUND on WHITE. (The background doesn't use browser default because I've got pale grey as default background.)

    This has been provided as a service of Orangutan Exterminators LLC

  4. I get a totally white box With my default browser text (navy).

    You need to see what your default setting is.

    1. MY CONTROLS (above)

    2. Way down the list click BOARD SETTINGS

    3. Select RICH TEXT editor

    4. Also your browser must be set to "allow the site to override default settings" or things go to shite. (This should never be changed unless you have a handicap requiring your settings to override what the site selects.)

  5. I promised I'd never do a sequel. Ever. No matter what. So, as my holiday gift to my readers and the residents of AwesomeDude, I present my latest short story.

    1. It's a sequel. I broke that promise because, I finally had something to say. To quote Sir Ian Fleming: "Never say never again."

    2. It's not my usual sort of story but I am quite confident most everyone will like it.

    3. To answer the questions in my e-box "Will there be more?" To which I will only reply, it's best to ask Mister Fleming.

    See you all around 2 Jan give or take.

    And to Paddy: Would you write me from your real email? I want to talk to you. I promise I don't bite unless you ask really nicely. :)

  6. http://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/adult-youth...-pride-and-joy/

    I wasn't going to read this. Had no intention of it. But a friend said it's not really A/Y so much because the adult is very young -- just 18 and completed high school. The kid's a bit young. I read it. It's written okay but not great. Needs some editing.

    So why am I still even writing about it?

    It's got GREAT flow. The dialogue is awesome. And, more importantly, it's a true love story. I've read all five posted chapters and he just writes a truly convincing story of two people in love. That's what I like a love story.

    (A little too much sex, but that's my preference.)

    I gotta' say, this story would make a GREAT addition here.

    I loved it.

  7. My employer uses IE as the browser for the network. Fortunately, I have administrative privileges to my desktop computer so I downloaded FF. A website that I goto to place a weekly order isn't set up for FF, so I'm glad I added the extra so I can use the IE fooler.

    There is a tool called "USER AGENT SWITCHER" for Firefox. You install it. When you need to use your browser as (IE/OPERA) you just change it and your FF pretends to be IE. It works on MANY websites (not any that use flash or ActiveX) and you can not even use IE. It fools my bank. It's important you switch back because if you try to use any flash page your browser will blow up if the user agent switch is wrong.

    Is IE gay? Hmmmmm!

    It isn't good enough to be gay.

  8. Speaking as someone who has lived there at one time or another, I can say I've seen Christmas celebrated in Korea and in Japan, both nations being places where the majority of the population are members of other faiths.

    Ditto China, Hong Kong (especially), Taiwan, and Macau -- all from my person experience.

  9. I love your reasoning Graeme, it has a depth of love, honesty and rationality ....

    I agree, his answer is very very good. Double points for him.

    To be clear this is the part, I was referring to. It shows a good thought process:

    To even consider it as a possibility, the person would have had to have killed both of my sons. One wouldn't be enough because I would be risking denying the surviving boy of his dad. The same applies if my boys were raped -- it would be more important to me that I was there for them, rather than potentially going to jail because I took revenge on the rapist.
