I mean “lose faith”. When one edits the tense of a verb in a sentence, he ought to do the same for the rest of the sentence. Yeah.

Do you know what else “Good”reads does? They censor posts and reviews (not to mention trivia questions). They flat out delete them. No warning. There are a LOT of writers on Goodreads. A lot of those writers FUCKNG write on goodreads. As in, they do some very small part of their life’s work there, whether using the site as a reading diary or as a forum for discussion and information sharing with other writers. Not all of us are our best archivists. When something disappears without warning, one begins to looses faith in the permanence and thus in the seriousness of the forum as a whole. In concert with this mortifying spam business, they are beginning to disgust me.

Comment on United Airlines, worst airline ever by Mike

Here’s one.
While waiting to take off, I was getting my earplugs ready for the in-flight music.
The Stewardess comes to me telling me that I am being RUDE by doing this,a nd to put my TOYS down until the blue light at the front of the cabin is off. Not to act like a KID.
Then she gets on the P.A. system and continues to belittle everyone on board.
“I can see that some of you are KIDS and not TEACHERS” WTF?

I am Sir or MR.
a nicer way would have been to say,
Sir, while the blue likght is on, please refrain from using yu Earplugs.

I love how genuine she is. Especially the wonderful story she tells of her daughter. And not to mention that adorable doggy!

Thanks for the post :-)

BTW, thanks for the link to Dr Scott.

The article on why Korea should be Corea was very intriguing. http://www.medeasmemoirs.com/corea-with-a-c/

What I know of the timing of the Japanese occupation makes the argument plausible. But the evidence is probably in Japanese archives, if anywhere.

“Ah! But having a person who believes in it take charge will make ALL the difference,” goes the pro-government cry.

Which suggests that they’re talking about witchcraft or faith healing and not reality.

Seinfeld re-runs twice an evening: like my whole family.

I agree. It’s ridiculous to propose an obviously inappropriate plan.

If I drove a bus, a thermos of a substantial soup would figure highly in any ideas for a diet, especially in cold weather. By rotating: minestrone, oxtail, split pea, chicken noodle, fish, etc (about 10 varieties and sometimes making spicy should prevent boredom), I think one could reduce bad food intake. That and any exercise would surely produce some beneficial effect.

My skepticism of the raw food diet comes from the little I know of life expectancy in pre-agricultural cultures: cave men’s teeth fell out and they suffered chronic malnutrition diseases before starving (once toothless) at about 30 years old. A high price to avoid IBS.
