in fact on that note, evolution can be part of this rant. how has this not understanding wtf the deal is with the opposite sex (from either point of view) not been sorted out yet? it is NOT beneficial for the sake of survival its nothing but a hindrance.

read "How to become a lesbian -or- find the perfect partner"
by A. F. Inlesbian. It made my female side happy.

It's societal pressures and influence on top of generations of tradition and culture, nothing more.

Oh really??! Saw him live back in 2002, right after my first marriage broke down. Played 20 mins of his solo stuff and then some wag yelled 'Play some Alice stuff!'

'You want it? You got it man!' - nothing but AIC for the next 90 mins.
When he started up the riff to 'It Ain't Like That', I swear, I didn't care about anything else at a time when I was just trying to hold my broken heart together.

For THAT, I can only love the man

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people. That shooting is absolutely awful. America NEEDS gun control.

So so awful.

While I wish I could agree that gun control would help, knowing the way this country is I just don't think it would. I don't even know what to suggest to prevent this sort of thing. This is a very terrible thing to have happened, my heart goes out to those hurt by this.

Agreed. I am 100% for gun control, but I think violence is so deeply seated in our culture that it won't do much good. Still, it's worth a try.

Gun control is the most rational solution to these mass shootings, but unfortunately between the two coasts of at least somewhat educated citizens is a 2500 mile stretch of gun toting yokels, millions strong.

Its also the general alienation of "outcasts" which contributes to these events. This isn't an American thing per se, but it's definitely prevalent amongst American society and culture.

I remember there being a particularly poignant scene in Bowling for Columbine where Moore interviews some girls from the boys school, and they go on about how they were "weird, rejects, nerds..." etc...

In my opinion, peoples general selfishness and intolerance for others contributes to these crimes just as much as prevalence of guns

My best friend, an avid photographer, got me a beautiful old Nikon SLR for Christmas. Everything works fine on it until I try to load film. That function is broken.

Of course, now he feels bad, but I don't want him to. Shit happens, I guess.

Which model is it? I have a few old ones I never use that might get you some parts to play around with.

It's an N8008 (F-801 in europe/asia). You're a true gentleman for making the offer, though I'm taking it in to a photo place this weekend to get fixed: I'm not great with my hands. Still, thanks for being so considerate
