Eeeeek, you brute! Don't you dare! :evil:
Why oh why did I deserve this? First you send me snakes, then my flatmate tries to torch the apartment... Oh, such woe! :cry:
I mean I go to swinger clubs for the company, but yeah, why not church?
In all seriousness, go for it. If it's not about the nutty religion but more about the community, do it. I went to catholic youth camp because that's where the party was at. I'm currently volunteering for St. John's...
I think the point is this: Both Hackenslash and Rumraket received warnings prior to this incident. I distinctly remember hack had a 1? 2? week ban just a few weeks/months ago, not too long anyway. Apparently, Rumraket had one as well.

There are a number of points I want to address.
First, DraganGlas: I found the article I was referring to. NYTimes, I remembered correctly.
Why Are There Still So Few Women in Science?
Second, to those claiming it's still a woman's choice what her career should look like:

Rhed: Apologies for taking this long to reply, it's a busy week.
First a quick word about laws, theories and facts.
A fact is a point of data that's not being disputed or cannot be disputed. For example, it is a fact that the DNA of humans and chimps is more similar than the DNA of humans and...
