I completely agree. For just a short time in your life, you can let go and trust the author with your mind. Having said that, when it comes to Batman 3 my mind was very annoyed (and would have left if it weren't for friends).

>looking at it is a victimless crime It creates a market. Is there no empathy for the subject of the photo? Would you like your 6-year old son or daughter to be looked at with a sexual gaze?

I went to see the last Batman franchise film last year, which I found horribly boring. I actually had a moment where my hands reached out in the dark for the fast-forward button, which took me by surprise as to how used I am to having those

>decisively murdering somebody Is that what Scott Adams was proposing? I'd think you'd be hardpressed to find someone who is interested in decisive murder. Edit: lostlogin - you're right. Those horrors exist. I'm not

It works very well in countries such as the Netherlands, I've seen that first hand in cancer cases. It is the most dignified thing to do for a thinking person. Do you have examples where a large percentage of the cases are obvious malp

Perl was my first language that I really engaged with, it started my career. Why did it fall out of favour? (I left web development to write applications/C, then returned some years later to write APIs but everyone had stopped using it

Oh, don't give in! That's your role as parent. Do you let your kids eat sugar for breakfast? Fight them for what you know is best, they'll thank you for it. Sneak in some broccoli as it were. Note: those BIC pens to me seem l

This is a really fantastic idea, and really needed - I would enjoy showing these to kids. The illustrations of these classics now in the public domain have so much character (one day the work of Quentin Blake will go alongside these).

As JoeBoy said, little girls and boys will fiercely defend their perceived gender. I remember being a young girl and my parents expecting me to play with my brother's legos: not going to happen. Then an aunt sent some swedish blocks, w

In decent societies nudity isn't even something considered worth taking pictures over. Try visiting Austria for example during the summer and taking a swim. Good luck find any non-naked beaches (at least partial), where anyone cares.

I love seeing modern 2-legged dinosaur depictions with feathers. I wondered why, growing up, everyone didn't see that they were just giant birds with teeth and weird little arms.

I know people who run galleries and such things, who find Wordpress too complicated. Markdown is great because they can do rich formatting without needing to learn HTML, but with more control that WYSIWYG. Maybe you want to post a tutorial

In the context of Music, which I understand better than the visual arts, imitation is what a young composer or musician will do. Once they develop their own voice, 'stealing' becomes a thing of great skill: remixing, as it were. I

It's a beautiful instrument for what it is, but absolutely not as much diversity or complexity as a piano. You can hear the entire music is at almost a single volume, more like a pump organ. The reverb you hear is from the room. I thin
