My husband was fuming mad when he got home last night. He had gotten a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. Well, I basically laughed, and that started the argument. I think that if it's the law, whether you agree with it or not,...

MJay101 What about laws which quite blatantly discriminate against certain groups of people? Not in this instance, but say, laws against homosexuality, or the racist laws of yesteryear? I think the citizenry has an obligation to disobey any laws which are...

MJay101 Pigeon is delicious. Very tender - if cooked right. (Wood pigeon, obviously; not "rats with wings". )

Boy, was I upset. Let me tell you what happened. Basically, came home from work and the Wii was set up on the exercise programme. My children encouraged me to step on the board and 'check in' to the programme. With hindsight -...

MJay101 Also, your link refers specifically to high protein diets (e.g. Atkins), and not low carb diets - they are not necessarily the same thing. I eat a lot of fat (meat, cheese, etc.), which provides energy. It is certainly not a "starvation diet" - I go to bed...

MJay101 katsmeow1213 - I disagree, actually quite strongly. There is evidence on either side of the debate and there is by no means a consensus that the low carb diet is unhealthy. A recent article found that low carb diets not only helped weight loss, but also...

MJay101 cynthiann - thanks for the reply. My life has improved no end since I ditched the carbs. Not only have I lost weight (and my other half has, too), I've learned to cook many more interesting dishes - not reliant on stodge! - and I've been far...

MJay101 Ta very much. Great question! Yes, my avatar is indeed Lenin - or at least, a depiction of him. I mostly put it there to annoy all the kiddy neoliberals in the politics forum...

Ah, yes, the wealthy will finally pay their fair share again and their taxes will help put at least a dent in the soaring deficit. Won't life as we know it in the US be soooo much better when these tax cuts expire at the end...

MJay101 Hey, man - nobody was rich behind the iron curtain! Seriously, though - the vast majority of people had food, and a job, and a home. Which is more than can be said now, under the oligarchs. Hence, a majority of Russians think life was better...

I was born at the start of 70s and was fortunate to get into movies at the start of the 80s, the greatest decade when it came to teen movies. But I am getting worried. Why, because it seems that Hollywood are so short of ideas...

MJay101 Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure was a good (not great) film precisely because it lacked all the bollox (technology) that you now see in cinemas! At least, I think so. A remake would be tragic - besides which, I think Keanu Reeves is a little...

MJay101 Oh, I absolutely agree. It is all the fault of the English. My other half is from Northern Ireland - she should know, like! The sooner Britain is abolished, the better.

MJay101 Apparently it is... at least, according to the twisted views of Mrs Robinson. But it's totally okay, because this is from scripture, so you can't say a word against it. Politicians might all be deceitful liars, but some are worse than...

MJay101 I definitely agree that these people are often totally messed up in the head, and have "major issues" - people like Ted Haggard, a former evangelical preacher who was exposed as having solicited s3x from a male prost1tute, as well as cryst4l m3th, yet who...

MJay101 I was astonished to see the Packers' defence play so poorly. In fact, I didn't see the Packers' defence... at all! They were terrible, though Kurt Warner played a blinder. Next week could be another shootout!

MJay101 I just find it amusing to think that people believe there can be any "doctrine of Christ" negating such instances of abuse and hypocrisy (as mentioned above; Ted Haggard, etc.). And it's curious just how often those in power - whether secular (politicians),...

Anyone else tired of the growing movement of "Fairness" in our society over the last decade. When I was in school I lived in a school district that among other things thrived on competition. Our athletic programs were consistently...

MJay101 I agree with you - I think effort should be rewarded. I'd like to live in a genuine meritocracy (I don't think one exists, currently). But I do think that sometimes, competitiveness is encouraged ahead of effort - not everyone can win, all the time!
