    Don't Wink With Both Eyes Simultaneously

    Why does every word in the title start with a capital letter?

    Dangerous Family Member

    These sorts of people don't change. Just hope that he fails at one of his crazy outbursts and hurts himself enough that he won't be a problem anymore

    Another "I'm bored what should I do" thread, but with a twist

    This..40 minutes of hard exercise 4 times a week, with a high protein diet. The rest will fall into place. The body and mind are so closely linked and once you find this connection exercise actually becomes addictive. Also learn an instrument. I got an electronic drum kit about 18 months ago...

    Why are people afraid of the trades?

    All of what you say is true OP, you can make tonnes of money in the trades. The big tradeoff though is that you have to work your ass off. In my early 20's I did a tiling apprenticeship and later on moved into carpet laying. I earnt awesome money but the body gives way early and even now in my...

    First-cousin Marriage?

    Its ok, I have my pet peeves too. I have learned something here as its not a subject I have ever really thought about and do just go with the 'generalisation'so your right but this happens with many other things as well. So maybe not for first cousins, but what if say a brother and sister...

    First-cousin Marriage?

    Man its a forum. Don't expect everyone to be an expert, I said I stand corrected above. Its not like the world reads this forum and runs off quoting everything they read. People really shouldn't take too much what they read on forums in general, like you have. Your whole essay makes it seem...

    First-cousin Marriage?

    Ah well I stand corrected. I mean its not something that I really ever thought about and the 'general consensus' is that its not a good thing. The numbers there though show its not as risky as its made out. It still doesn't make me want to go out and nail a family member, even though one of my...

    First-cousin Marriage?

    Just google "Inbreeding" or "incest" and I am sure there will be plenty about health risks. Of course I am not an expert but this has always been my understanding and that of everyone I know. I think you have it the wrong way around. It would probably take several generations of inbreeding to...

    First-cousin Marriage?

    Its legal in Sweden? I knew you guys were a progressive type nation, but I didn't think this was "legal" anywhere. I mean I know its always gone on in certain parts of countries throughout the world but not legally. While yes it is very frowned upon in my country (Australia) and most other...

    My problem with "musicians."

    This. Being able to play with other people is what makes a "musician" in my eyes. There are plenty of people out there with degrees in music, sure they can probably play more complex, structured instruments (like violin or even piano) but not neccesarily able to play anything more than solo...

    Exotic Pets

    Ah ok..I have a mate with ferrets and they do that really quick chattering with their teeth on your skin and your right there is no vicious intent but it can hurt if they manage to dig in. I have never seen a fennec fox outside of a zoo or docos it was just something I heard about them..I know...

    Exotic Pets

    Man that Ocelot cat is a thing of beauty..If posed with the question in the OP, it would have to be some sort of wild cat, a panther, leopard or anything like that. I also love Fennec foxes. I have two burmese cats and one has particularly large ears(not as big as the fennec fox of course)but...

    If you could remove any one insect species from Earth...

    Haha you want a source to prove a bluebottle is in fact not an insect? I hope your kidding Edit having re-read both posts. We are thinking of different types of bluebottle. I had never heard of a 'bluebottle fly'. Where I come from this is what bluebottles are..sorry don't know how to...
