It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

weird thought of the day, how is it homophobe but homosexual? Shouldn't it logically be homophile? Why do they have to be so darn sexual?

Tyr, because a homophile is a gay librarian.   :rolleyes:

:mellow:

A homosexual is an individual who is sexually attracted to people of the same sex. A homophobe is, at least theoretically, someone who fears homosexuals.

One of the old-timers from the Paradox OT finally gave me the go-ahead to directly meet one of his daughters; will try later this summer. He previously let me go to a party three years ago with the eldest on the condition that I not interact with her. Very funny. :D

Had my hair cut by an Asian woman today. They know much better how to keep my head attractive. :)

You must be the only person on the planet who looks good with a bowl cut.

Asian hair dressers are more common than convenience store workers in my experience. They give normal haircuts.

But paedophile/paedophobe amongst others (that is the only one that comes to mind which is 100% about the icky side of things since I can:t be researching that sort of word on my school computer). Hetero/homo is the only one that says sexual.

anti gay marriage guy who killed himself in protest of france passing the law.
idiot

Yup. But at least he had the decency to kill himself and not someone else to make his point, so that's to his credit.

You have to admire someone with such strength of convictions.  The world would be a better place if more people were like him.

Homophile is a word. It just isn't popular.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
