Thanks for the commentary on the idiocy of standardized tests. If parents would educate themselves about the situation, maybe we could get laws changed.
Thanks, also, for the link to the proposed law to regulate men's sexual health. They should include a law against masturbation because it wastes potential human beings.

The meat article is somewhat misleading and sensationalist, as revealed by the very level-headed comments. Normally any discussion to do with meat-eating or vegetarianism gets rather heated, so this is a refreshing change.

Also, that photoset of the exotic dancers is fascinating - thankyou. Amazing how much social perceptions can change in a relatively short amount of time.
