We had some problems, and some arguments, like most all couples do, I guess...but when she dumped me, I decided that was where I had to draw the line. I put my foot down, and said, sorry, it's over, toots.
I tend toward blues, as base tones, and I like earth tones generally above...rarely very bright. If my boss doesn't like it, he can bite me. If my galpal doesn't like it, I hope she'll advise me otherwise.
Madison (WI) News: Thousands storm Capitol as GOP takes action
Green Bay (WI) Press-Gazette: GOP bypasses Democrats, cuts collective bargaining
Is it worth pointing out that Green Bay, WI, is home to a branch of a certain well-known industry that is itself in the middle of a collective-bargaining dispute? I think it might be.
I think I see what you mean, Antjo: it's impossible for any human to truly be objective; it would defy one's very nature as an individual. Still, when your stated goal is to try to do so, you should live up to that the best you can, I think.
I think it's pretty clear, one stands out as far more inflammatory than the others. But the last one might be even more so, in a way, as it presents the news as being some fait accompli that readers might as well get over...
Here's 6 headlines, all from the same event. (For those unfamiliar with journalistic practice, it's editors, not reporters, who write the headlines.)
BBC: Wisconsin union curbs bill passed MSNBC: GOP rams anti-union bill through Wis. Senate NYTimes: Wisconsin Senate Limits Bargaining by Public Workers (the Grey Lady still capitalizes every word) Reuters: Wisconsin Senate passes union curbs as protesters rally PBS Newshour: Wis. Senate's Surprise Vote to Restrict Bargaining Stuns Unions, Democrats CNN: Union supporters to rally after Wisconsin Senate passes restrictions
Now, regardless of your feelings on the issue involved, what do y'all think of the way these 6 present the news?
Again, RG, I didn't mean to be nasty when pointing it out. But I do think it's a little confusing, at first glance. Might I suggest, you might narrow it down to perhaps whichever you hold citizenship in? Or perhaps the two where you spend the most time? Up to you, of course. I only mean to be helpful, here.

If I were King of the World for one day -- presumably, today -- I'd reorganize the CS Forums so that a) the USA had one forum instead of 50, and b) Books and Art were separate from Music.
And as long as I'm King, shouldn't you people be grovelling?
I didn't intend to be mean; sorry if it came out that way. I meant only to poke fun a bit, albeit with a point: is it helpful, marketing-wise, to leave it unclear in one's profile where one resides?
Felixis already mentioned Local Hero. It's a classic, and worth repeated watchings, if only for the Mark Knopfler soundtrack.
A noir film I like a lot from the 80s (or early 90s?) is not available on dvd here in the US; I had to buy a multiregion player just so I could get the UK/PAL dvd of Desire and Hell at Sunset Motel. I gotta admit, Desire is not for everyone; but if you're a movie buff, you're more likely to appreciate the peculiar nature of the script.
That's a pretty sensible-sounding suggestion. Of course, it would have to rely on people not lying about their age to begin with.
I think it is possible already to use the email parameters to block unsolicited email outside one's stated preferences. But there are some problems with that, too. First, it's an all-or-none proposition. Second, a lot of folk only put down an age range because one is asked for in registration, and they're not averse to overtures from someone a year or two outside that range.

It's late night for me, though, and I should be getting ready to snooze. So I'll pass on the coffee, thanks.
RE: For guys: Why did you break up with your last girlfriend/partner?
We had some problems, and some arguments, like most all couples do, I guess...but when she dumped me, I decided that was where I had to draw the line. I put my foot down, and said, sorry, it's over, toots.
