I may have over-stated this, as with rare exceptions, I have very little trouble operating in a right-handed world. It's more the principle involved. I rarely think about it, but it can get my goat sometimes when I think on it. Even the language: "sinister" originally meant left, and still...

It's an odd thing.  You can't be racist, sexist, homophobic, etc, but there is a form of discrimination that seems OK.  It's a right-handed world, and nobody gives a rats. Where is the keypad on a ATM?   How about a pair of scissors? Not only do I have to jam my thumb and fingers into weirdly...

Spiders?  I think, as my diplomatic duty to my foreign brothers and sisters, as an Australian, I should possibly not contribute much to this thread.  :) But I can't resist, so I will....    Below is a "Sydney Funnel-Web".  You can see it is rearing up.   Yes, they jump and attack.  After...

I like this thread. Many many good people here, from many, many cool-ass countries. But... um..... well... er... Canada. Enough said, really. There are some folks in that crazy, frozen northern nation that simply kick arse. They know who they are. I will fight to the death for...

I'll vouch for Richard. I'm on the other side of the planet, so I've never met the man. But a heart of gold and fists of steel. He's OK. :)

Homicide.

Welcome from Australia - possibly the most queer friendly country on the planet. Basically. be a decent person, and that's good enough for us. We don't care about gender stuff. Also re Seinfeld.... I am an ex postal worker. The stories I could tell!

I've been there. All the facts line up, apart from the long distance part, but I have been there. Unfortunately, I have no answers for you, other than to say stick to this forum. Some good people here. At the time I signed up last December, I was ready to jump in front of a train. I can...

Dude, I might be 17000km away but you've got my number....

AK-47

I'd get a PhD, and to hell with the cost. I'd not have left school at 15.

Eschaton (stay away from me, hear?)

I do this. Now, something slightly off-topic.  I'm curious to know if I'm alone in this, of if others do it.... Somebody will tell me a joke.   Now, it's not like I'm slow getting the joke.  I get it instantly, but I just don't think it's very funny.  Then, over the next ten seconds or so, I...

Impostor syndrome, maybe? I get that a lot. I'll be doing something grown-up like holding a driver's licence or voting. I'm always half-expecting some "real" grown-up to tap me on the shoulder and tell me to run along home. I'm 47, but I still feel like I'm six.

Yair, was a bit. Sorry. I didn't notice the date. BTW, I like "necropost". Cool word. Ishall steal it.

Train job. I know how to put the signals to danger, out in the middle of nowhere with no cops. :)

Listen up, arsehole (and I mean this in a friendly way..) Enough of this. We need some Canadian-Australian genius happenning. Let's go and blow something up. Napalm a police station. Jam a railroad switch with a crowbar when some train full of highly flammable tankers is coming through...

No brainer. Qantas. No crash since the beginning of the jet age in the 1950s.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here.. I've been separated from my ex for four or five months. I confess, on several occasions (two or three max) I emailed her. They were angry emails and designed to hurt. I feel bad about them. So she accused me of stalking. WHAT??? I know this...

What Callie said. Seahorse, you are now getting REAL help. It might not be pretty, but it **IS** real. This "anti-Seahorse-the-mods-are-out-to-get-me-nobody-cares" stuff only exists in your head. There are some good people here. OK, a few jackasses, but mostly good people. The help is...
