My scheduele this past year basically involved me staying up until 3 am and sleeping till noon with classes falling between 1 and 7pm. Yeah it kinda sucked, but I think I would have trouble re-adjusting back to 'regular' hours.
I like to do all my work in the morning for some reason. If I could get used to it working from 4 AM-12 PM wouldn't be bad at all.
 
My Odin is the manliest of mans.

I'm sure he is close, but RAT MAN, my very black and very fat feline, is about as badassed as cats get. He's from da streets, bitch!

As for Imus: Yadda yadda, second rate shock-jock goes a step too far with his joke. Big deal. Anyone who knows Imus or his track records knows that he certainly did not mean it. Shitty, unwise thing to say, for sure, but not malicious or even that bad, really. The alarming thing is how fucking outraged people are, as if this guy ever intended for anyone to take him seriously. From what the Rutgers people are saying, you'd think he had gone on the radio and said "ALL FUCKING my pals MUST FUCKING HANG ALSO WOMEN ARE NOTHING BUT BREEDING SACKS FOR MY OWN WHITE MANLY ENTERTAINMENT". It was a rude joke, nothing more, and these people are talking about making sure these women have the proper counseling to get them through the rest of the semester. Please! The coach (in her fucking long winded, over zealous speech) said "we're preparing these women for life!" and then, when told that Imus mocks anyone and everyone in the public eye, cries "oh well they're just kids". Make up your mind.

Yeah, Imus = dick, but Rutgers = blatantly trying to create drama, I guess to bring attention to their accomplishment and Al Sharpton = slimey cocksucker exploiting this whole thing to get ratings for his fucking show.

edit: Added "white" in front of "manly".
 
Rutgers is trying to create drama? What the fuck are you talking about? They merely had a press conference to address the issue upon request and released a statement.

Did you fucking LISTEN to the press confrence? I did, and I couldn't fucking believe my ear (just my right one though because I currently can't hear shit out of my left). It's incredible the shit they were saying about one shitty, rude comment.

"Abdominable", "deplorable". Going one about "this world needs to change. This is a very serious issue". The coach giving her speech with a five second gap between each sentence about the hardships faced by the women to get to the game and how Don Imus single handedly destroyed each and every one of their spirits and they will never feel the warmth of the sun again or the sounds of childrens laughter or the taste of ice cream ALL BECAUSE OF DON IMIS, THE MOST EVIL MOTHERUCKER OF ALL TIME.

The Athletic director (or was it the pres.?) talking about making sure the girls have the support they need to "get through" the semester after the trauma, about calling each and every one of their families to let them know that Rutgers- and the state of New Jersey (actual words) are behind them in this time of chaos and darkness.

Their attention-seeking is made more blatant by the fact that most of what they talked about during the press conference was their run to the champinship game and how they made history. About how their run "captured the heart of the nation" (which it fucking didn't because no one knew it was happening). It's blatanly (and understandably) obvious that they are annoyed at their accomplishment recieving zero media attention. They're upset because they did something great in a sport that no one fucking cares about, and now they are using this to bring attention to it. If Imus had said something like this about the mens team, there would likely be the obligatory flack and calls for an apology, but nothing like the epic monolouge fest that was todays press conference.
 
I wrote a blog on breastfeeding. Please read it if you consider yourself an intelligent specimen.

It might have been an interesting read if you'd actually supplied some sources for some of the dubious claims you make there. I agree with the premise that breast feeding is better than not doing so (and so do most doctors/scientists really, mainly for the immune system reason you mentioned) but some of your reasons for why artificial milk is bad aren't very convincing. Show me some reliable scientific data (ie. something published in a renowned medical journal) that proves or atleast suggests that babies who are fed on artificial milk end up with a lower IQ.

http://www.breastfeeding.com/all_about/all_about_iq.html Great article with other articles that also back it up about some studies performed.

Breastfeeding Your Baby by Sheila Kitzinger (edit: I read the revised edition of this).

I can list more sources if you want... However, I read books, not medical journals.
 
Oh? Explain how I'm wrong. If you actually think that the press conference and what was said there was anything less than melodramatic attention seeking than you are fucking delusional.

I wouldn't expect a reply from Necuratul, but what do I know, he does know it all.

Anyways, I totally agree with you on your thoughts on the PC. I watched it at work and I wanted to rip my hair out it was so unbearable to listen too.
