Figaro: what the hell race is H?


It should stand for "Human". We're all one race.

It's not about the rules, it's about sex. Americans are uncomfortable with it, and it causes them to freak out.


I'm sure that in whatever Utopian society you hail from, if two school teachers were farking in front of the students, they'd be fired, John Cleese's Sex Ed class notwithstanding.

Kind of but not really.

All dogs are 'dogs' but there are lots of different breeds, same as humans.

Death by Misadventure: Wow, there were more blacked out words in that police investigation than the 9/11 Commission report.

I love how they censor the phone numbers, but leave in the street addresses. It's a lot easier to change your phone number to eliminate harassing calls than it is to move away from the people who keep showing up at your front door.

on the juice: I guess a Porky's reference would be to easy here.


Done and done:

I don't buy that. I'm more of this opinion:

Race is a social concept without much basis in biology, say geneticists. Group differences between races are so minuscule as to be relatively unimportant, and have little or no biological meaning.

* Scientists estimate that 99.9 percent of the human genome is the same in everyone.

* The proportion of a human's genes reflected in external appearance seems to be in the range of .01 percent, according to Harold P. Freeman of North General Hospital in Manhattan.

* By contrast, traits like intelligence, artistic talent and social skills are likely to be shaped by thousands, if not tens of thousands, of the 80,000 or so genes in the human genome.

* Human genomic history indicates modern Homo sapiens originated in Africa 200,000 to 100,000 years ago, at which point a relatively small number of them began migrating into Europe, the Middle East, Asia and across the Bering land masses into the Americas.

Since the African emigrations began, a mere 7,000 generations have passed. Because of the limited founder population and the short time since dispersal, humans are strikingly homogeneous -- differing from one another only once in a thousand sub-units, called bases, out three billion. And of the differences between individuals, 88 to 90 percent can be found within a local population, while only about 10 to 12 percent distinguish one "race" from another.

Yes, it will give them cancer.... sigh


Look, I'm not trying to convince anyone. I know there's no sense in trying to convice Fark at Large of the fact that having sex in front of students, at any age, is inapproriate. If you don't think it is, then fine, no worries.

But I present for your consideration the time-tested logic that someone once presented to me as the '10 Million Dollar Question.'

What would you do for 10 million dollars?

And the twist is, that he said it never mattered what anyone told you they would do for 10 million dollars.

It only mattered what they would do when the 10 million was in cash, on the table, and if they did "whatever", they could take the cash away.


In other words, people talk a lot of sh*t about hypotheticals, but when the situation is real, their minds change.



You can say it's fine for kids to see their teachers farking, but if they were your kids, and they came home and told you what they saw, and if you looked into their eyes and realised they weren't okay about it, nothing you could say would fix it. And at that point, you'd be after the teachers to be fired, or worse.

That's parenting, IMHO. It's about all the hypothetical things you say you would do before you have kids, suddenly going totally out the window once you actually have them.

if not, the worst punishment these 2 deserve is a transfer to (seperate) schools.

If not what? If they hadn't been caught in the Camaro...? I don't understand what you're asking.


But it seems to me like no one wants anyone to be fired, until they do something that offends them personally, and then they want them out on their @ss by that afternoon.

It's just funny, I guess.

Kinda of like guys I would meet that would be all into getting into some group action with other women, etc.. talking it up big and what not and then once they got things would be drastically different.


Yeah.... look, I'm really sorry about that, but I can't even really explain it.... I think more than anything else, it was the smell.

No, I'd be after my kids to deal with it and move on. What kind of life-lesson would I be teaching them if I taught them that everything even mildly disturbing in life could be removed at their request?

I'm not saying you're wrong about life lessons, I'm just saying that it's not appropriate for teachers to have sex in front of students, or in any place where they might be seen by students. We disagree on that, no big deal.



And why's this? Shouldn't that be up to Mr. and Mrs. CantKeepHerLegsCrossed? I mean, some people are able to forgive. It's not like she killed his parents, cut off his peener and ate it. She's still human, and might still be a reasonable wife, who knows.

People are perfectly entitled for forgive infidelity if they want... I personally have never seen an example of forgiveness-of-infidelity work out for the best. People can fool themselves all they like into thinking they'll get past it and everything will be fine, but IMHO if one person cheats, that's the end of the marriage/relationship, and you should split the wagons and go your separate ways as soon as humanly possible. It's just my opinion, like I said, and people can forgive it if they like, no problem, just don't ask me to.
