14 is cool, although for me it's whistling like a bird... I've actually had people looking around trying to find the bird!! Then again, I do that all the time, not just in elevators xd

There are so many versions of the elevator list. People add to the chain e-mails, I think.
Why's everyone doing the test for their dragons? XD
Sunday's rating would be worse than my own, but it doesn't get any worse than mine.

I got an R and everyone guessed it -- Reet got NC-17. Of course, he never really curses and he doesn't drink... whee But the sex and violence was enough.

On NPR just now:
A US Marine troop was making its way through Falluja and found a bunch of wounded people in a mosque. They stopped and had their medic patch them up, and generally did their best to tell the injured that they were going to be okay. After they left, another troop came through, and started firing on the innocents. NBC has footage of the massacre, including one of the troops exclaiming "this one's still alive! He's pretending to be dead!" and shooting him again. All the wounded were unarmed, and many of them were so badly wounded they couldn't move.
Granted, the captain in charge of the troop said that they'd been fired on from the mosque, had to fight their way to get into it, and had had problems in the past with insurgents hiding bombs in the bodies of their dead. But is that really a good enough excuse?
Who the ******** do you think you are, President Bush? Are you about to stand by and let this happen? You have to, dammit, because you made fun of Kerry all throughout the campaign for sending the wrong message to the troops by saying what they were doing was wrong. THEY ARE DOING WRONG, and YOU sent them the message to keep going on the way they were.
I'm pissed. Can you tell?
edit: They just ran a followup story saying the marine who shot the guy "faking dead" has been removed from the battlefield, pending investigation. What the ******** more do you need? NBC HAS FOOTAGE.

Also on a lighter note, today on NPR:
A school in Texas was asked by the state school board to remove one of it's spirit day traditions: the annual cross-dressing day. Religious conservatives accused the board of encouraging homosexuality by allowing a school-sponsored movement to encourage men to dress in women's clothing. The school complied, and will from now on will replace the day with "camo day", in which the students are encouraged to dress like american soldiers.
Thanks to them, my brain is going to be thinking 'american soldiers = gay' for the rest of the day. Nothing wrong with gays, mind you, but I'm pretty sure that's the opposite response they were looking for.

The story on the mosque massacre is all over the news. This is why Kerry always only ever wanted war as a very last resort. He was very clear on his terms when he cast his vote for the invasion. They had to find WMD, or they had no justifications for resorting to a violent takeover when they hadn't exhausted all other avenues of negotiation.
You can't prevent s**t like that from happening, regardless of where you are in the line of command. Kerry knows because he's been in Vietnam. Bush doesn't know jack s**t about what it's really like on the battlefield, and how little control you ultimately have over the humanitarian issues and the actions of the soldiers until it's much too late.
And about the beavers, at least they were keeping some for later. sweatdrop

I don't read the news because I don't want to hear about these sorts of things. I prefer to think that humans are good, as a whole, and hearing these things makes me sad and sick.
I'm not saying don't post them (Hell, dropd, your my boyfriend so if it effected you, I'm going to hear about it whether I want to or not), I'm just expressing my feelings toward the matter.
Just to say one thing: An Iraqi terrorist group killed a British relief aid worker, who was a woman, converted Muslim, married to an Iraqi, and had basically devoted her life to helping the people of the country. She must have been singled out because she looked foriegn. They aren't getting much more aid, sorry.

As an off-topic to the off topic discussion. This is why America has a bad reputation for academics, most school teachers are MORONs when it comes to grading logic. As an example I got my daughter's Frist grade Report card today the kid excels academically. she had nine A+s and 4 As and the teacher gave her a B for effort. Then proceeded to give her a C for conduct on the basis that she can't follow directions. Ok if she can't follow directions tell me how the child gets a 100 on 25 of her 27 tests for the trimester. The 2 tests that were not a hundred was a 92 and 96.
If the effort grade was an Average of the Academic marks and the one conduct mark it still would average to a minimum of a 94 which last I checked is an A. If not how does one get a B for effort if you have A and A+ for all classes neglecting the subjective conduct mark.
Needless to say I'm having a thorough talk to this teacher tomorrow

I remember elementary school report cards. It always felt like the grades were really arbitrary, and more or less said what the kid did rather than what they got out of it. Biggest example: handwriting grades--it didn't matter that the letters were the right shape and that you were improving overall (which is the whole point--why teach handwriting except to develop it as a skill?), but if they squiggled even the slightest you automatically lost marks. (Of course now they're trying not to grade handwriting anymore because kids who can't write straight have "dysgraphia" and with a doctor's note can use laptops instead)
Feh, I'm still sore about it. I was always jealous of my sister; somehow I always ended up with at least one B somewhere or another, and she went second through eighth grade on perfect report cards. Damned handwriting...
