MTV is taking some heat for its refusal to broadcast an
advertisment for Buy
Nothing Day.
MTV, the channel that markets itself to
hip youth, has decreed that our Buy Nothing Day public service spot
"goes further than we are willing to accept on our channels". Gangsta
rap and sexualized, semi-naked school girls are okay, but apparently
not a burping pig talking about consumption.
The single best way to blunt the impact of climcate change is to get by
with less of everything. Mostly, what it takes is a
willingness to ignore peer pressure.

I have a lot of hope for the new generation. My students are wonderful, smart, committed, politically savvy. Much better than the two generations that preceded them, the dead period between the sixties and now (don't take offense; I know a lot of you are, and were, smart, committed and politically…
I was catching up on reading at Female Science Professor's place and came across her post: Women Girls.
FSP, as far as I can tell, seems to be saying that the young ones these days are all hip with the term "girl" for women even into their 30's because...I don't know why, it's a peer thing, and…
Fellow scienceblogger Chad Orzel has a post about ESPN, which is itself a reaction to this post from another blog. I can't say I disagree with some of the reasons from the original post:
You took away David Aldridge and foisted Screaming A on me. From a thoughtful, insightful, coherent reporter to…
I don't think I really recognized how much stuff I've avoided dealing with by only having boys until I read _Cinderella Ate My Daughter_ by Peggy Orenstein. You see, despite the fact that I joke about living in the testosterone house, or being the only female in a house of guys (until C. and K.…

Nach elf Tagen ohne ein Idiot genannt Sam, ist er wieder bei der Arbeit. Wenn die Chefs der Nähe sind, ist er braun nosing. Irgendeinen Vorwand, um die Zimmer sind in Kraft, als wolle er sagen "schau mich an. Ich arbeite." Seine Haltung zu anderen Arbeitskollegen, wenn die Bosse nicht sind rund ist: "Ich bin besser als du". Er zieht ein Witz und es ist lustig (im Kopf). Aber wenn du einen Witz auf sich zu ziehen. Sie sind die niedrigsten aller Lebensformen, und er schreit ihm den Kopf ab wie ein Vierjähriger Wutanfall. Park innerhalb von 6 Fuà (2 m) von seinem smart und Sie sind ihn blockiert.
Yksitoista päivää ilman idiootti nimeltä Sam, hän on takaisin töissä. Kun pomot ovat ympärillä, hän on ruskea käytettäviä mene. Making tekosyitä huoneeseen ne ovat, kuin sanoakseen "Katsokaa minua. Teen työtä". Hänen asenteensa muihin työtoverit kun pomot eivät ole noin on "Olen parempi kuin sinä". Hän vetää vitsi ja se on hauskaa (hänen mielessään). Mutta jos vedät vitsi hänelle. Olet alhaisin kaikki elämänmuodot ja huutaa päänsä pois kuin neljävuotiaana raivokohtauksen. Park sisällä 6 jalkaa (2 m) hänen älyautojärjestelmiä ja Estät häntä.
Ask yourself these questions. (1) In what part of the past would you like to live in ? (2) Why you would like to live at that time ? (3) Could you survive in that time using only the tools and equipment available at that time ?
Küsi endalt need küsimused. (1) milline osa minevikust sa tahaksid elada? (2) Miks sa tahaks elada sel ajal? (3) Kas sa elad selle aja jooksul, kasutades üksnes tööriistade ja seadmete sel ajal kättesaadav?

Missä olemme nyt kehityksestä tiellä? Olemmeko tulossa sivistyneitä tai vielä mennään alaspäin polkua kasvaa tuhoisat voimat? Meidän lääketieteellinen tietämys kasvaa harppauksin jokaisessa sodassa, mutta ei niin suuresti kuin meidän tuhoisia aseita. Jos meidän lääketieteellisen tietämyksen oli kasvanut yhtä nopeasti kuin aseemme, voimme elää kahden tai useamman vuosisadan ajan.
Why do people starve in a world that produces more food than it needs ? On a web page it said it was due to logistics of moving the food. I say, it is more to do with profits than a lack of the ability to move the food to where it is needed. Also some third world countries are exporting food they need so they can get money for other things. If we all were even half way to what we call humanity, no one would starve. But we are humans and fail to live upto our good ideals.
¿Por qué las personas mueren de hambre en un mundo que produce más alimentos de lo que necesita? En una página web que dijo que era debido a la logÃstica del traslado de la comida. Digo, es más que ver con los beneficios que la falta de la capacidad de mover la comida a donde más se necesita. Además, algunos paÃses del tercer mundo son exportadores de alimentos que necesitan para que puedan conseguir el dinero para otras cosas. Si todos eran aún a medio camino de lo que llamamos humanidad, nadie morirÃa de hambre. Pero somos humanos y no pueden vivir hasta nuestros ideales bien.
Was just reading about riots in London and other areas on the BBC web site. They should use rubber bullets, CS gas and pepper spray till the rioters are incapacitated. Then ship them to Afghanistan so they can learn how to behave.

Minun viimeinen viikko työtä hallituksen järjestelmää. Takaisin työttömyys jonoon ensi viikolla. Järjestelmä oli vain kolmetoista viikkoa ja joka päättyy neljässä päivässä. Ikävystyminen ja tuskin tarpeeksi rahaa elämiseen. :( .
Nur noch zwei Tage nach diesem Tag der Arbeit auf die Regierung Schema. :( Dann wieder auf die Arbeitslosigkeit Warteschlange nächste Woche Dreizehn Wochen einen Job, und nur immer 45 Prozent des Mindestlohns für ihn und die Regierung fragt sich, warum das System ist nicht populär Wenn ich Mindestlohn bezahlt werden müsste ich! genoss es mehr und hatte etwas Geld gespart.
Ich habe viele Websites in den letzten 13 Wochen zu besuchten mit meinem Job, also wurden langweilig und andere mistyfing. Haben gewinnen einige Kenntnisse. Wie, wenn in Japan ein paar Jahre zurück, i so nah an der Bambuswald in Kyoto kam. Das ärgerte mich, wie ich sie gerne zu besuchten sie haben.

An elderly couple were having dinner one evening when the husband reached across the table, took his wifeâs hand in his and said , âClara, soon we
will be married 50 years and thereâs something I have to know. In all of these 50 years, have you ever been unfaithful to me?â
Clara replied, âWell, Paul, I have to be honest with you. Yes, Iâve been unfaithful to you three times during these 50 years, but always for a good reason.â
Paul was obviously hurt by his wifeâs confession, but said, âI never suspected. Can you tell me what you mean by âgood reasons?â
Clara said, âThe first time was shortly after we were married, and we were about to lose our little house because we couldnât pay the mortgage. Do you remember that one evening I went to see the banker and the next day he notified you that the loan would be extended?â
Paul recalled the visit to the banker and said, âI can forgive you for that. You saved our home, but what about the second time?â
Clara asked, âAnd do you remember when you were so sick, but we didnât have the money to pay for the heart surgery you needed? Well, I went to see your doctor one night and, if you recall, he did the surgery at no charge.â
âI recall that,â said Paul. âAnd you did it to save my life, so of course I can forgive you for that. Now tell me about the third time.â
âAll right,â Clara said. âSo do you remember when you ran for president of your golf club, and you needed 73 more votes?â
Doctor Dave had slept with one of his patients and felt guilty all day long.
No matter how much he tried to forget about it, he couldn't.
The guilt and sense of betrayal was overwhelming. But every once in a while he'd hear an internal, reassuring voice that said:
"Dave, don't worry about it. You aren't the first doctor to sleep with one of their patients and you won't be the last. And you're single. Just let it go.."
But invariably the other voice would bring him back to reality, whispering:
"Dave you're a vet."
It is not often I agree with you, but...I agree.
I totally agree with you, I for one will definitely be buying less. But can someone please explain all this to my WIFE!
Oh yes, that was a heroic attempt at levity. Now you may have failed in your objective but for me the fun was in watching you try.
You have created the most stylish blog here, I never would have believed a simple post on a website could be so fashionable.
I went to blow my trumpet ( my own ), and some joker had filled it full of powder! So now the printer is absolutely covered in the stuff and the boss is due back in ten minutes!! I have got the feeling i'm in big, BIG trouble!!!
