My two favourite novelists are doing an event in conversation with each other at the New York Public Library, streaming live in two hours... this means I won't be getting any work done tonight but I don't care

Thanks SP

Yayy I just bought these earrings.... Angela :D

AUN, I wonder how and why this happened

Stop feeling jealous and threatened SP, I lost interest when I realized you're one side of Apo's personality disorder :mad: Khayr;990807 wrote: Saff, Now that you watched Shitler's List (pun intended), do you feel more empthatic for them? After all, it is a movie based on "historical facts". Why do you call it that? It's a good movie, just incredibly sad and haunting, made even more so by the fact that it really happened.

It's almost 6am, I have to be up in two hours

No. Why would disappointment be an elevated status in any way?

Another suggestion -- allow us to upload our own avatars! Never understood why we can upload a "profile pic" yet we're limited to the website's avatars when we're on the forum.

Payback miyaa?

Khayr;990727 wrote: Saff, Is cursing at a particular idea or proverb acceptable because its a personal choice and it is not against a person? Like I said, that's for the person to decide. There are plenty of people who believe swearing is inappropriate in all contexts, while others have no problem with it. But my point is that swearing at a person is *always* inappropriate because it's about disrespecting and insulting another person, whereas swearing at objects or at situations or whatever doesn't affect anyone. I have to get back to work guys, last paper of 2013 to work on

Khayr;990717 wrote: Ah, so by being an academic you are excused from judgement. It is normal for you to curse but for someone like "classified", it is not acceptable. Huh? :confused: Of course not, what's unacceptable is cursing *at* someone here because it's disrespectful. General cursing is a personal decision... some people swear, others don't. Do you understand the difference?

Khayr;990711 wrote: Saff, I thought that you were an unbiased non-judgemental Intellectual and "Historian". Whats up with your foul language? I don't know many people more foul mouthed than academics, it's not mutually exclusive

I like that one
