Epithet

And where were the conseratives when the luxury of protein supplements was accorded death row inmates?

I'm struck by how amateurish a lot of the stuff on Wikipedia is.

So, likelihood of deletion is a function of: reissue date, artist obscurity, membership in a limited-edition series (?), availability of a K2 release, availability of MP3s...?

Possibly but her daddy would have one of his patented fits. Does he want a family of Italian proportions or not?

Wanda wouldn't like this. You'd think a few chromatic octave runs up her spine would brighten her disposition.

Yes. I tracked it down to her also. For some reason it didn't click; maybe because she annoyed me so much in The Pink Panther I placed a mental block on her. As for 8 1/2, the pre-Vatican-II popery drew me in, one Eddra Gale kept me there, and that left little room for Claudia.

But then I do the chivalrous thing and pass the buck to ariceffron.

'IF I SAW THAT CHICK WALKING DOWN THE STREET I WOULD HAVE TO INSTANTLY FUCK THE SHIT OUT OF HER.' Who is she?

Drama all the goddamned time. And, funny you should say that; I want ariceffron back too.

What sets him apart from Peterson?

Hmmm, good recommendation, though it applies to sonatas 5-10 (especially #9 "Black Mass") and less so to the first 4. Guy ← What? The first even has a funeral march in it.

Better get out the Alberta rat picture book.

Hell yeah.

A = fucking A, man. Danielle Steel ain't all that in Boston, huh?

'What? What do you say to a man who's crying in your bathroom?' Oh, and the pancakes and taking-her-to-bed bit in Zelig. I can't remember this one verbatim, unfortunately.

That's right, motherfucker.

Hell yeah.

You should be banned for that post .... Now how can someone be so .... I mean the sick people who did this and put it on the web?!?! That's hysterical.

I like Levine's recording of Berg, Webern and Schoenberg orchestra pieces with the Berliner Philharmoniker. I don't believe it's widely touted (he tries too hard to make them palatable?) but I've heard Abbado's and Karajan's takes on the Bergs and couldn't get with them at all. Remind me to listen to that Gielen recording again. Also heard Scherchen's take on the Passacaglia, op. 1 with some Italian radio orchestra—it's a scream.

This does raise an interesting point, and this isn't the first time I've wondered about this kind of hypocrisy here on the board. Being a Christian or a Republican is a choice people make. (I dunno about fatness.) And many people are born into Christian or Republican families. As for being gay, one can choose to be gay, and one can be born gay. Either way, it doesn't make a difference. What is "PC" shouldn't have anything to do with these factors. There's gotta be truth to this. Look at the disproportionately high number of gays and lesbians who suffered through some sort of sexual assault as children. At that point, I'm not even saying that it's a conscious choice, but the flip side to that would be absolutely ridiculous to ponder: that more gay children get molested than straight children. I'm not saying that there's not a large percentage of people who might be born gay, but to ridicule vibes for what's actually a pretty common sense remark is pretty silly. I'm not denying that some people 'choose' to be gay in some sense of choice, because I neither know nor care about that. I think that, for the purposes of the PC question, it's irrelevant whether you'll find people who've come out gay after some kind of trauma. If the public perception is that some people are born gay (even if it lacks evidence: this is PC after all), one is more likely to put sexual preferences along with gender, race, disability, etc. in the list of things you're not supposed to poke fun at, and without hypocrisy. But I must've been high on farts when I said that Christianity could be switched on and off, because I'm staring desperately at the toast and nothing's happening. I guess that's why I said 'in principle'. I'm now officially done with that discussion on this thread, so if you want more (you don't), PM. Still saddened Bolivia's not on the itinerary.

What is "PC" shouldn't have anything to do with these factors. I disagree. It seems one of the reasons why racial jibes are unacceptable is because people don't have a choice in the matter. Christianity and Republicanism can, in principle, be switched on and off. And so can being gay. And it does happen frequently enough. So, tell me why it's not cool to refer to Kenny G that way, but why it's perfectly legit on this board to rip on Republicans and Christians on a regular basis. For the sake of argument, let's have it that choice is a determining factor. But then it's completely spurious for you to suggest that because some gays can switch it on and off, that makes ridiculing gays PC. You said that some people are born gay, but you should note that people are at most 'born into' Christian or Republican families, which is very different. Now, I don't see why whether something is PC or not shouldn't have anything to do with these factors. Since you prefaced with you haven't given any reasons why not either.
