Can someone explain to me why we should send Japan aid (or New Zealand, or Chile, or Haiti for that matter)? We're broke. Because Japan helped us when we were in need? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_response_to_Hurricane_Katrina So? I mean that's nice that they did, but the economic situation ...

civil commitment is an option. i'd like to know why that state hasn't brought it up. Good question, Anyone who would kidnap, rape, murder, and eat a small child then keep the bones as souvenirs is someone who will always be a threat to society. Someone who can go that far is someone who can never b...

Being able to read her words is always a great blessing. Thank you, always, for sharing them with us.

Even though I have not been to the Watch is ages, something told me to come here today.

I think hearing Furls' words is the reason why. :)

Re: No Earthpower in Metal?

Perhaps no one ever studied/uncovered metal lore. *shrug* Perhaps because wood and stone are already understood there was no real need for metal lore or perhaps it takes too much energy to channel Earthpower through metal, making it non-user-friendly. Anyway...my curiosity has been piqued. The ur-v...

The books specifically say that Covenant refused her advances, but somehow it has spread over the internet through the years (such as the site you mentioned and in some Amazon reviews) that Covenant and Elena were lovers. The whole situation is squicky enough without the actual sex ever taking place...

As if this all wasn't bad enough, now the people from the Westboro Baptist Church are planning on picketing the funeral of the poor little nine year old girl.

I see your point, Orlion, and even in shock we had to keep going (hospital, after all) though it sure wasn't in any way easy BUT it is quite likely that Congress was asked to take a break by one or more of the federal police agencies (or FBI or Homeland Security) while safety procedures are being re...

F-d up. I loathe an awful lot of politicians, but that's not call to shoot them (or send them bombs like happened a few days ago here in Maryland). no one should be shot in the head (or be sent bombs) because they are simply doing their job. no children should ever be shot and killed. ever. this wa...
