Man Made Boobs Just some technical notes. The hardness experienced by some women with implants is a result of thick scar tissue forming around the implant. Certain types of implants are more likely to result in this problem. Saline implants are the least realistic, silicone gel second and the...

Scoring... Shecat - 1, imcndn - 0.

Retracing the thread... Nothing personal but you're wrong for several substantive reasons. 1) The thread started with reference to a couple of interesting commentaries on the future of Canada's military. Specifically, these articles note that the material component of the CAF will degrade so...

Just because... Yes but if you've seen "The Meaning of Life" you'll realize that Catholics take their duty to create life very seriously. Where and when and who says? You can enjoy it all you want... as a matter of fact, the more the better. This whole "sex...bad" thing is protestant as far...

and now the rest... Really. I'd like to meet some of those Grade 12 graduates ready to take on Aquinas and Augustine. Most of the kids I meet don't impress me with their theological and philosophical acumen. I assume you feel ready to "blow their theories out of the water." Good luck. Let me...

Since you're gonna be nice about it... Augustine adapted Plato to the Church. Saint Thomas reconciled the Church to Aristotle and deserves credit for the modern form of the Church. Rand did what? She was a Russian escapee from Communism who blindly accepted unbridled Capitalism as a...

Sinners one and all... JHG... you're a heathen and since you obviously are not living in the Grace of God you're already in hell. I hope you're happy, though I doubt it. Of course, there are many material ways to pretend you're happy -- sooner or later though you'll recognize hell for what it...

CAF will not get an upgrade Thanks for the links. I would agree that the Canadian forces are presently inadequate for international military operations or even deployment. The suggestion in the paper that the CAF will cease to exist, materially, is a bit much. There are many ways to stretch...

Ah... porn I knew one fellow who earned US$3000 per month from a couple of porn sites back in 1997-8. The gay porn netted about two-thirds of the income. His sites (one gay, one straight) had nothing but images ripped from newsgroups. He spammed for advertising (losing three ISPs before...

I vote for HTML There are a couple of useful features in flash that I have noticed and, true to what has already been stated, these are features that deal with graphical display. For example, maps and technology data. For search purposes, navigation and introduction, Flash is a complete waste...

As I sit here... smoking... Cardinal Fang -- "in the long run, you are dead" Hopefully, I'll have the pleasure of watching a lot of non-smokers die before I go. Truth to tell, I wish second-hand smoke was deadly, I'd love to think I'm doing my part to bring down the current overpopulation of...

Frankfurt What immediately sets Frankfurt apart in my mind is the lack of a definitive identification as a red light district. Granted, it's pretty obvious from the shops and characters but this is an area for the participating tourist -- not the gawkers. Hamburg and Amsterdam are laid out...

Re: Oagre gives it 4 thumbs up... The shows are repeated on Sunday nights at 10:30pm. Personally, the places mentioned so far seem pretty standard "sex tourist" fare (although how Montreal fits in is somewhat beyond me -- maybe I've missed something but it really isn't quite the likes of...)...

Read carefully! Which is it? Gender or life experiences? In my opinion, neither is a sufficient cause for differences of perspective. If you made an honest effort to seek out females with similar life experiences to your own, you would discover that that collection of individuals would still...

For my favorite troll... Well, C4Provider must have at least a little university education. This is a tired argument that I find utterly nonsensical since it proclaims that "understanding" is only possible through experience. That is a load of crap. It is the kind of crap that Harris used to...
