[QUOTE=AzureWolf][FONT=book antiqua][SIZE=2][COLOR=blue] Also, it's almost impossible to create a female viagra: women's sex systems are just far more complicated than originally expected. One hormone triggers a cascade, with various checkpoints. At the same time, if two hormones within the cascade are in large amounts at the same time, they may actually hinder sexual activity instead of setting off the series of events. So, administration of a few hormones and a sprinkle of a few "feel-good" chemicals just isn't the answer for women. (women are "ewww" when it comes to reproductive systems *shudders*)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]Ever hear of Levitra? It's a female sexual enhancement drug...at least I think that's the name of it. Why should men, who have no problem reaching orgasm, be provided with more enhancement than women? Don't you know that the average women doesn't even know how to orgasm? Ok, sorry, graphic. And I don't reguard my reproductive system as eww. I made something with my reproductive system, a beautiful baby girl. You try doing that. Maybe you're just jealous?[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Ok, I don't know why I thought of this except that both of these men had apperances on the tonight show with Johnny Carson and they were both influenced by the late comedian. They were also friends for a while until Johnny chose Jay Leno as the new host of the Tonight Show in the 90's over David Letterman and Letterman started his show on CBS opposite the Tonight Show at the same time. So I wonder who do you like better, if you're familiar with them....I keep forgetting that there are people from otehr countries who may not know about them. As for me, I tend to lean more towards The Tonight Shwo with Jay Leno. I love headlines and Jay walking. Those are two of my favorite segments. The Late Show just doesn't seem as entertaining to me and the monolog isn't as funny. So I like LEno more.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I got to watch a few episodes of Saiyuki and really liked it. But Lincoln is quite evil and he took it back to Iraq with him. So I have no choice but to wait and re watch it when I go to Texas next month. Oh well I guess it's fair though I have Princess 9 and Ayashi no Ceres. [/color]

[QUOTE=AzureWolf][FONT=book antiqua][SIZE=2][COLOR=blue]I think you are mixing raisins and nuts (just seems more appropriate than apples and oranges). You are comparing regeneration to sterilization. That is, one option restores function, while the other stops natural function. What I'm trying to say bluntly is this: it would be hypocritical for a "health" company to condone "unhealthy" things (anything that makes the body act how it shouldn't can and is considered unhealthy). Also, Viagra restores not only a man's potency, but also acts to trigger a lot of emotional responses, most noticeably happiness (not THAT kind, but the assertive kind). I don't really condone Viagra for sexual purposes, but I understand why it is considered a health-related drug. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]OOOOOKay, let me just reassure you that birth control pills do [i]not[/i] make a woman steril...if that was the case, I wouldn't have my daughter. They just allow a woman to control her cycle a bit better. Sometimes they also help the woman become less uh...witchy and reduce menstral cramps. A woman will eventually get a period whether she's on seasonale which only gives you four periods a year or Orthtrycyclin or Depro (A.K.A. the shot) It doesn't stop the natural funstion of having your period...trust me, I've been on the pill since i was 19, with the exception of over a year off of it. Also, the pill is only 99.9% effective when taken regularly. You can get pregnant while on the pill, that happened to my high school Bio teacher's wife. As long as you follow the directions such as don't smoke and are healthy and usually under 35... birth control is usually healthy. It can also help a woman to become pregnant when she wants to become pregnant.Which debunks your theory on how the pill prohibits reproduction. If you're sighting the recent case of a woman dying while she was on the patch it's very rare. Banning the patch or the pill because of a few deaths would be like banning tampons because a few women got TSS (toxic Shock Syndrome). Also these perfomance enhancing drugs have side affects too. They can only be taken by healthy men, and you can't take them if you are at risk for a heart attack or stroke. There are more restrictions and side affects for viagra and other such drugs than there are for the pill. Isn't it hypocritical for a health care company to say that men can go ahead and have control over their reproduction, but women can't have the same control? And in saying that isn't it hypocritical of our government as well? People are up in arms about abortion, but allowing women easy access to the pill or other contraceptives would help to cut abortions in half. Take that into consideration when thinking about health care covering birth control. If you'll excuse me I'm going to build a shrine to the pill. chibi Horsewoman[/color]

[color=darkviolet] I should never be allowed to watch the news and be on the computer at the same time because it just gives me more ideas for threads. :D This time it's a debate over Viagra and other performance enhancing drugs. For some reason these drugs that help a man with impotence are covered by many companies that don't cover birth control. Medicare is about to become one of these companies. Ok, so many 50+ women have already hit menopause so they have automatic birth control but there are still younger women who if lucky enough to have health insurance don't have coverage on birth control so have less of a say on their reproductive rights. Yet these same companies will cover Viagra. Go figure. Is a man's ability or inability to have an errection more important than a woman's right to decide if she wants to be pregant or not? For those who wonder or think that birth control pills kill the embryo and are against oral contraceptives for moral reasons, allow me to reassure you that birth control pills don't allow sperm to fertilize the egg and you can't kill something that isn't alive. Ok, so I've prepped the thread for what I hope will be a spirited discussion I'll be back to reply later. Wasting away again in Margaritaville, Chibi Horsewoman[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Man, this has been going on for only 3 days and I already have 3 pages...man...I guess I found a good topic.[/color] [QUOTE=Chabichou][COLOR=#004a6f] Interesting. So, is that all you really want? Are their not any other motives behind the war? Are their not benefits for America for engaging in this war? No James, we should all realize that oil plays some part in this war. America's economy depends on it. [/COLOR][/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet] Well, considering that 1.) Iraq's oil accounts for roughly 3% of the Unted States' oil consumption and 2.) The oil production in Iraq has been halted by insurgents I'd say oil is a small part of this, but thank you for playing. Yeah, [i]maybe[/i] we'll get some oil out of this. But aren't you looking at a rather small picture? From what I can figure Bush either went to war because he would rather listen to his advisors than his father who had said back in '96 that this war would be a bad idea. Smart man that Bush Senior. I think democracy and Iraq's first free vote in over 50 years (that I got yelled at on Sunday for not asking Lincoln about by my riding instructor) is a pretty good reason for this war, and an extremely good reason at that.[/color] [QUOTE=Chabichou][COLOR=#004a6f]The oil in Iraq has been pretty much left alone during all these years with Iraq under U.N sanction. Meanwhile,Iraq's neighboring countries like Kuwait and Saudi continued to sell theirs. Iraq has more oil than these countries right now, and America has found a new source for oil, but how to get it? It's not like America can just take the oil like that. Therefore, they must remove the current government and replace it with a more "relaxed" one like that in Kuwait. Then, America can get oil sold to them, and at a cheap price to boot. [/COLOR][/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet] Yeah, funny thing about those sanctions, they kind of you know...stop oil sales. Especially when you want to be a law abiding country and not take the oil. Yeah, we would like a more relaxed, less agressive government to be placed in Iraq. One that wouldn't gas its own people seems like a pretty good idea as well. So lets blame the US and say that all we want is oil....Because we really don't give a damn about anything but ourselves. Good Goddess are you jaded. Yeah, I don't like this war and I think that the American people were lied to about the reasons for invading Iraq. I think we should have waited until things were more settled in Afghanistan, but I think having an election where 90% of registered voters showed up..., which is more than [i]any[/i] US election is proof that we've made a few differences. So Maybe now that that's happened we can send more troops home, which would be good for many families.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Well, on further consideration I'd have to add that I'd take my husband's cousin along with me to vegas and let her have some spending money. I'd also take my best friend along because she's never been to vegas. While in Vegas I'd want to go get my vows renewed at the Flamingo Hilton (they have a really kick arse pool area and gardens) so I'd have to fly in my parents, Lincoln's best friend and my brother-in-law and his girlfriend. Not my mother-in-law though because she's just too...too I don't know. But yeah a million isn't all that much when you think about how much some things cost... I need to invest and put some away for my daughter. [QUOTE=Arcadia][size=1] Now, Manic's challenge. As much as I'd like to think that I could spend a million dollars a day for thirty days, after a while I'd probably be burnt out. So I'll just take the first option and the thirty million, thank you. (I have no idea what show that is.)[/size][/QUOTE] I could spend a million a day...just take me to Vegas Baby! Keh, I'd become a high roller and give some to strangers and family. He said no friends buit not family and strangers. And the name of the show was Million Dollar Hoax (atleast here) I wanna be rich, CHibi Horsewoman[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Valentines Day for spouses of deployed soldiers unless the soldier is home on leave is just one more day of finding a pciture of GW Buch to deface...hey the guy that owns the farm where I ride has a nice one....:devil: . Last V day was spent with my aunt Marty's Pit mix because my aunt had taken my cousin to a hockey tournement in Canada. Sabre loves attention on anyday but I guess v-day is special. I'd like to know who's spending extravagent amounts of money on boyfriends and girlfriends, where did you find that kind of job? As for myself I bought my husband a $1.99 bright orange heart shaped pillow at Target that says 'I'm yours' in red stitching. I'm also sending him a Hello Kitty valentine. It's not the big things that make a difference it's the little things. Besides, how friggin' romantic is a holiday that commemorates a murder in the 13th century? That's what I want to know.

[quote name='Gravy Train']Okay Morpheus, let's see. In nature, all animals mate with animals of the opposite sex. So, humans doing the opposite would go against that. I don't see how to make it any easier to understand.[/quote] [color=darkviolet]However I read somewhere that there was a study done on some monkeys in asia where female monkeys were seeking partnerships with other female monkeys...yeah, take that nature! Ahem... Drix, I have relatives who are both [i]Christian[/i] and [i]gay[/i]. I have no idea what else to add to that except a religion that refuses to change it's veiws on everything doesn't have much of a chance of survival. I understand that just becuase you hate homosexuality doesn't mean you hate homosexuals, but hey...all they really want is to be treated as equals. And like I've offered, you want to debate me my Yahoo IM is Chibi_horsewoman. Ok...let's see, their are only two problems I can see with homosexuality, one was brought up by my mom and the other is well, not much of one ...let me explain. The way my mom explained it is that companies and the government are looking at same sex marriages from a completely economical point of veiw. Not very fair for the people who want to get married, but I guess it makes sense. My only problem is with the ones who wave their gayness around. My friend Tommee does that...it's very annoying, but that's my only gripe. For a while the Gardenarian tradition of Wicca debated about allowing homosexuals to practice their trad of wicca because of the affect they would have on the 'balance' because in the Gardenarian Trad they even go as far as having men teach women and women teach men to support the whole balance. They finally decided to allow them to practice. I guess what I'm trying to say there is discrimination because of something God (or in this case Goddess) made you is stupid. Drix, I'm waiting....

[color=darkviolet]I'd be rich. This is not to be confused with the [b]You'd pay a million dollars to see...[/b] thread, This one stands on it's own because it asks what would you do with a million, so yeah, completely and utterly unique...just like everyone else...I'm going to get a burn out 3 threads today :faint: Well if I had a million dollars after taxes I'd pay off my bills and my student loan. Then I'd buy the rest of the Urban Decay body powders I don't have. They're flavored body powders and I want to have the rest of them. Hey come on they're $25 a piece and I already have 3. After that I'd take a trip to Vegas and use $500 on the slots...I hope I'd win some money. Then I'd go home put the rest in savings and go back to work. A million dollars really isn't all that much...stupid Bare Naked Ladies song... :flaming: So, what would you do ? [/color]

[QUOTE=Raid3r]My first thought is...a little riske for this arena, but I think my second will do.

And then the party afterwards of course. ^_~[/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]Dude, don't you think that's a bit of an over kill? Take Michelle Yoeh to the prom and Lucy Lui to the after party.

[color=darkviolet]This question was originally posed by CNN this morning yesturday morning so don't beat me up for this idea. So yeah, the question is 'Is this war in Iraq worth the Sacrifice? I really don't think so. Yes, part of my saying so is on a personal level. But aside from that where has this war gotten us? Over 1,400 soldiers and Marines killed from the US alone. We're spending millions on this war putting the country more in debt and we were lied to. And there's this too [quote name='Chris Rock]They told us that Iraq was dangerous and powerful. It took us 2 weeks to take it over. Two weeks, you couldn't take [i]Baltimore[/i'] in two weeks.[/quote]. So that's my opinion, what;s yours?[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Well yes and no.... If you actually think up a post with a real topic that others can discuss...like oh Dumbest thing you've ever done. Favorite subject in school and why. Well, you'll be here. But if you keep doing this well it's ariverdertchi ETJ :D [/color]

[QUOTE=Xander Harris]If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. [B]Definition of Love:[/B] [I]Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not selfseeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. [/I] Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. I tried to think of a way to put that in my own words, but I think the original said it best.

[color=darkviolet]Ethnic discrimintation is definately still a probelm along with religious discrimination and age discrimination. I'm an Irish amaerican, I've never been discrimated against by my ethnicity-probably because by the time I came into existance discriminating against the Irish was out and discriminating against some other race or ethnicity was in. But I have been discriminated against or just plain treated rudely because of my age. Last year I was out with Lincoln looking for this pizza shop a few towns over We pulled into this one gas station because we got lost and couldn't figure out where to go. I went in to go ask for directions and the lady was just plain rude. I asked if she had a phonebook so I could look up the address and she told me it was locked up. I asked her if she could get it for me and she said it's locked up. I just told her that maybe she should be nicer to her customers and walked back out. Lincoln asked what happened I told him how rude the lady was and he went in to see if he could get directions. The lady was just as rude to him and said 'I already told your friend that I didn't klnow where it was and she couldn't use the phone book. Didn't she understand?' he said 'No she doesn't understand rude people' and left. So there are all type of discrimination and none of it is very fun. and all types of discrimination are still a problem.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I have to confess that the beginning of this thread started out a lot smoother in my head than it's coming out on screen. The question is as shown meaning what do you define love as. I know it may not be as broad a question or as varied as other questions in other threads, but I figured I'd ask anyway. I know I'll sound stupid by saying this, but I think love is about trust and being able to care more about someone else rather than yourself. It's about compromise with a bit of sacrifice as well. Yeah I know it looks like a Halmark card you find filed under romance. Maybe I should sell it. Well, ok, I made myself look stupid, now it's your turn.[/color]

If I see one more female celebraty with one more anorexic dog, I'm going to call the ASPCA. Ahem, ok, while I would like to see Paris get lost in the woods, I'm sure Pumpkin and Captain Anarchy would be nice enough to share the wealth. So, what would I pay a million $ to see? George W. Bush admit that he was wrong about the war in Iraq on live tv wearing that same Versacci dress, or a replica of it that J-Lo wore to the '99 Grammy awards. I'd buy him the dress myself if he was really going to do it. And after that he'd have to give all enlisted men and women (and reservist men and women) a General's year pay. Because I had to see the guy in a dress. Why do I want this to happen? Well there have been over 1,400 deaths in Iraq since the war began and the majority of them after the cease fire in May 2003. Plus he'd be in a dress and give enlisted and reservists the year pay of a general. [/color]

[QUOTE=Methuselah][COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=1]There is one flaw with the idea of having Cristine's child and the Phantom's child meet. That flaw is that the idea of the Phantom is mystery and fear, yes? Now why does the Phantom wear a mask on one side of his face: because he was horribly disfigured since birth and beaten to oblivion turning him into a spiteful and bitter man. Somehow I don't think he'd be able to find a woman to concieve his child OR if his child would have a disfigurement OR if he would turn into the same spiteful, bitter person who haunts an Opera house that by the time he reached the right age may not even be there any more. Just felt that I should point that out ^_~ I personally think a parody would be good, Trev couldn't ruin this classic, he writes this kind of stuff too well. Of course, I'd only support the idea of a Parody if I was in it, heh heh.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]Eh, like I said I've never seen the play. But...if the Phantom could have been so angry and spiteful what's to say that he didn't [spoiler]rape[/spoiler] some woman causing her to bear his child? Then the woman abused her child so badly that he ran away ect ect ect. It could work.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]-Maybe a sequel or prequel to Phantom of the Opera. Maybe a decendant of Christine and a decendant of the phantom can meet some how? I don't know...I've only heard the soundtrack, I don't know the whole story . and please don't beat me it was only a Joke[/color]

[color=darkviolet]When I saw the topic I thought is was about tourturing people and making others watch it as entertainment. Well, I'm so cool that everything I do is suddenly cool.

I love to watch them. [b]Jerry Springer[/b] Heck any show that can make my mother-in-law seem close to normal is worth watching. [b]Singing and adding on verses to children's songs[/b] I have a daughter so I have to sing the children's songs, but well... I sing them with my 14 year old cousin, her friends and my friends. For example, my cousin added a verse about a bomb being in the bird in the Green grass song. Then we just got really silly and everything we talked about got filtered into that song for example: [i]There was a toilet in the middle of the bathroom the prettiest toilet that you ever did see. Well, the toilet's in the bathroom and the bathroom is in the bedroom and the bedroom is in the apartment and the a-partment is on the ground. and the green grass grows all around all around and the green grass grows all around.[/i] We did that yesturday and it annoyed the crap out of her mom.

[color=darkviolet]You notice how the majority of my posts talk a lot about me? That's because I'm a Leo :D . Ok, so I was technically born on a cusp, so I have some Cancer in me too so if I get too much attention I'll go back into my shell, but yeah, I like attention. Leo's want to be on top (says my Little Giant encyclopedia of the zodiac) Potential competetors should remember that. Leo is not interested in winning, but in being king or queen of a particular castle. That said, if you're anywhere near a space I occupy, don't expect me to back down. I don't have a particularly slim body (unless anyone out here is a size 22 or larger) but at times I can be graceful. I take a lot of pride in my hair even if I don't have enough time to take a full shower and wash off my whole body I'll wash my hair so in that I'm, defiantely a Leo taking care of her mane. I'd say my face is more squarish than oval, but my eyes are large. And my voice well...nobody has much trouble hearing me so I'd say it's strong. Yep, mostly I'm a typical Leo female in apperance. It would take too long to site my positive and negative characteristics. But I am loyal, friendly and generous. But I'm also stubborn, I have a tendancy to cut others down to size (ie my mother-in-l;aw when she said I wasn't very protective of people) and I'm cold hearted when hurt. There's also the whole sex thing, but well...we're not going to get into that right now :devil: [/color]

[color=darkviolet]One very logical nickname I had that turned into a very stupid Nickname was and is Donnelly.

I was called Nutmeg by a guy in my high school chemistry class. I guess that makes sense I mean, my first name is Megan. Add on to that the fact that the guy's nickname was Crunch after her crunched up his car when he ran into a telephone pole. And yeah, perfect sense. Ok, that's it for now.[/color]
