• Commented on Junky Styling: a manual for thrift-shop clothes-remixers

• Commented on The American Burqini, and modesty throughout the ages.
  Here is a link to a much 'whiter' version of burkinis. Enjoy! http://www.modestswimwearsolutions.com/ I think it's all about choice. I would guess many muslim women can't really chose to wear less at the beach because of societal pressure, but then...

• Commented on Treatment of intersexed African athlete appalling
  Actually - I think "disorders of sex development" is far more insensitive. Hmm disorder or Goddess/God? How would you rather define yourself? I guess it reminds me of when being gay was classified as a psychological disorder....
• Commented on Treatment of intersexed African athlete appalling
  Yarg. Leave the girl alone. Wow. Thanks for posting this Xeni. I also had no idea Hermaphrodite was considered offensive. I am not intersexed nor do I know anyone who is. I read the link - and honestly I can't...

• Commented on Firefighter allegedly shoots cyclist in head to teach him not to ride on a busy street
  #96 Uniquack, - I like your explanation - but it doesn't explain how I get treated. I am very definitely a girl and I get yelled at, spat at, I've had bottles thrown at me - for absolutely Nothing! I'm...

  Tak? I thought we were at least comment friends! Now don't go running over cyclists with helmets, you might run me over. Trust me - I need the helmet - given the icy streets and the frequency that my head...
• Commented on New age holy water
  I've been places (sadly in Canada) where the tap water is only safe if you boil it. So there bottled water is useful. Generally though - I agree - bottled water is very silly!...

• Commented on Xeni on the road in West Africa: Ritually Stolen Penises and Vaginas - Not a Joke Here.
  Noen. I see you missed my comment. Was it perhaps too rational for you? Here is the thing, I totally believe that a person could be harmed if they believed in curses and believe someone cursed them. That's totally fair...
• Commented on Xeni on the road in West Africa: Ritually Stolen Penises and Vaginas - Not a Joke Here.
  Noen. I think you may find here Universal Declaration of Human Rights where cultural relativism ends and 'Hey your murdering, mutilating otherwise harming people - Stop!' begins. I think this is pretty agreed upon. You know the whole - universal...

• Commented on Magenta isn't a real color?
  I've never believed in Indigo honestly. If you underpaint magenta and green (mixed make a nice blue grey) on a set - things will reflect colored light better. It gives more depth in diferent colors - maybe because it reflects...
