chilli

Ok I am psyched.. I just cut my hair and everything! Tomorrow I will be checking in and posting on this thread from my phone from the meet, so if anyone is struggling to find us and hasn't got anyone's numbers, be sure to check in here and write a post or PM. Hey jwerta, did you end up getting hold of that scop cutting?

I am not on your side Balzac, I am not on anyone's side This discussion has challenged and thrown much of my thinking on this into flux, and I would like to go back and read the thread in detail when I have time. So far I have not been able to give it much more than cursory attention, but from what I have read I was surprised when racketemensch dismissed your points and claimed to have proven hius point, because I thought your previous post had rather pedantically explained how you thought he had erred. I think the best explanation is that he did not understand your point, but I'm not sure why, maybe he just didn't like it lol. I know some brilliant feminists who I would love to invite to participate to argue the opposite view to balzac, but I am not comfotable enough with them that I would be happy inviting them to an ethno forum. Has anyone got someone they can invite or debate on this topic between knowledgeable and reasonable participants elsewhere? I would really like to see some of these MRM/MRA claims put to the test but I lack the requisite knowledge and time to attempt it myself right now.

water by itself won't work, you need a surfactant to break in and oil to suffoacte them just scrape them off and throw away, then apply some white oil, which is basically a bit of surfactant like detergent, oil and water. god i hate scale

welcome to the forums and the meet akasha it would be great to see you here and there

I have given quite a few away recently, and am focusing on propagation again, but I will try and remember to bring a couple of bits for you migraineur.. don't worry about payment, I don't charge for weeds!

The way I read it, the context of that comment is a sarcastic satire of what he sees as being wrong with the way society sees women, so I read it as saying something like 'society says it is not okay for a man to be weak, but of course it is fine for women to be weak' Maybe whitewind can confirm how he meant it, and then things can move on, because it would be a shame if the discussion stopped moving forward over a simple misunderstanding that could easily be cleared up if everyone stopped judging each other's motives and accusing each other of being bad in some way (I know I am the worst at this, but that is what qualifes me to say it )

First you would have to convince him of his error.

As a good philosopher and critical thinker, I would urge you to rethink your rationale for deciding and instead adhere to one of the most fundamental principles of constructive argument and remember the Principle of Charity. Under such a rubric, you would choose 'honest mistake,' at least initially. If we continue to try to view racketemensch's response from this charitable perspective, it is easy to see evidence that confirms hypothesis B. To wit, whitewind edited his post, and the wording that racketemensch copied above could be easily misinterpreted as it is supposed to be sarcastic and satirical but the text contains no indication of this, which would usually be communicated via intonation and body language.

You know perfectly well that racketemensch just made a mistake. This would have been a great opportunity to gently point out his error and move on with the discussion. Instead, you decide to misintepret his post as wilful obfuscation just so you can argue. ;)

Did you go whitewind? What kind of stuff happened?

I was going to mention the follow feature, I think a lot of people probably don't know it's there.. ooh and now I am going to put a link to this thread in my sig like Freaky Chicken... okay that should do! If the thread doesn't get more followers I will upgrade it to giant letters in flashing neon pink, that should make people take notice....

Weather should be perfect! 30 and sunny, gentle breeze... http://www.weatherzone.com.au/region.jsp?lt=wzdist&lc=w00&d=3

cool! hey are you bringing the big banner Freaky Chicken?

GOT that is quite the image you've conjured there

lot's of people post to Perth, but as handy as used coffee grounds sound like they may be, I don't think you're going to have your door banged down for postage on this one... lol I just imagined someone offering this is the free ethnos thread it also brings to mind long ago exploits of foaf's sending ounces of weed wrapped in coffee through the post

heh, well at the moment I have a few growing from last year, and some seeds.. nothing very exciting. I meant to get some more happening this year, but keep getting distracted by cacti and acacias.. but yeah, i love chilli! dude, seriously? that is so cool!

okay, okay i get it.. you could have just said 'no chillis allowed'

at one school, everyone called me 'Doogie' because they reckoned I looked like Doogie Howser, M.D. We were cute kids, shame we both turned into such monstrous freaks.

Me and the heavily pregnant missus are still keen and planning to be there! We will be bringing some food and drinks, a few trades and a very sociable but slightly mad puppy! Weather looks perfect!
