Wasn't it Hitler who asked who remembers the genocide of the Armenians?

Certainly, people don't talk about it ever. I didn't hear about this until I was 15.

They have some sort of estimation for the number of homeless people here...

I agree with Mr. Markee, the numbers are likely to be much higher. All this reminds me, as I was in Manhattan today, I passed a homeless guy with a sign: Family Killed by Ninjas, Need Money for Kung-Fu Lessons. That's definitely worth the $1 I passed him (heck, it was worth more, but I didn't have more to pass, so....)

April is almost over, but there's no harm in reposting this article

Wow. I can use google and find articles!

Taken from thornleaf (I think)

Transparent screens... I especially like the ones featuring multiple computers or cats.

I loved the Giver.

Well, I did when I read it first. Eventually, I saw some serious logical problems with it - for example, it's implied that only one person can take a certain job every year. If that's the case, there can only be one Birthmother every year - and there's no way, if each Birthmother has three children, that they can have 50 children yearly. But really, I digress.

If you're going to complain about a book, do so logically. It does no good to complain that a book promotes euthanasia when, in fact, the main character decides to leave the safety of the village in order to protect somebody from this fate. And it certainly makes no sense to call it especially anti-male when women are shown in no special positions of authority.

An article about journalism, stolen from theferrett

Clicky.

Remember that article I posted a few days ago?

One of the many that makes a point of comparing autism to cancer, no I don't know why?

l33tminion has written a letter to the editor about it. Too cool. And a bit brave. I promised to concede a point if he didn't get horrible reactions, so... how long has it been since the article? I'll give that long before conceding.

Hey Jenn. An early Mother's Day present.

Show these to Mommy as well, 'k? If you use them, put the phrase "by riparoo" in the keywords or in the comments to credit the creator.

Hey guys.

Go meet amkergis. She's my mom. If you can suggest interesting journals (syndicated, user, community) for her to read, that'd be great.

Edit: Yeah, Xiggs, I saw that *right* as the window closed. I'll tell her.

Thanks, wicked_one

Long story short, she went out of her way to modify an icon for me. Several times. Even though she doesn't know me. So I'm using a *completely different* icon to post about it.

Four articles from alternet

One which is loosely about underage drinking.
One on the food pyramid.
One on Iraq and blogs and email.
One on publishing.

Hey, I have a question.

If I play around with a style, can I go back to using this one without having to figure out all my settings again?

Edit: Nevermind, I'm a bit slow sometimes.
