Brownies
Many parents are hard pressed to explain to their youth why some music, movies, books, and magazines are not acceptable material for them to bring into the home or to listen to or see.

One parent came up with an original idea that is hard to refute. The father listened to all the reasons his children gave for wanting to see a particular "R" Rated movie. It had their favorite actors. Everyone else was seeing it. Even church members said it was great. It was only rated "R" because of the suggestion of sex...they never really showed it. The language was pretty good...the Lord's name was only used in vain three times in the whole movie. The teens did admit there was a scene where a building and a bunch of people were blown up, but the violence was just the normal stuff. It wasn't too bad.

Even if there were a few minor things, the special effects were fabulous and the plot was action packed. However, even with all the justifications the teens made for the "R" rating, the father still wouldn't give in. He didn't even give his children a satisfactory explanation for saying, "No." He just said, "No!"

A little later on that evening the father asked his teens if they would like some brownies he had baked. He explained that he'd taken the family's favorite recipe and added a little something new. The children asked what it was. The father calmly replied that he had added dog poop.

However, he quickly assured them, it was only a little bit. All other ingredients were gourmet quality and he had taken great care to bake the brownies at the precise temperature for the exact time. He was sure the brownies would be superb.

Even with their father's promise that the brownies were of almost perfect quality, the teens would not take any. The father acted surprised. After all, it was only one small part that was causing them to be so stubborn. He was certain they would hardly notice it. Still the teens held firm and would not try the brownies.

The father then told his children how the movie they wanted to see was just like the brownies. Our minds are tricking us into believing that just a little bit of evil won't matter. But, the truth is even a little bit of poop makes the difference between a great treat and something disgusting and totally unacceptable. The father went on to explain that even though the movie industry would have us believe that most of today's movies are acceptable fare for adults and youth, they are not.

Now when this father's children want to do something or see something they should not, the father merely asks them if they would like some of his special brownies . . . and they never ask about that activity again.

I would have downed the brownies, thanked the father for the arguably delicios treat and went enjoying the R-movie thankful to myself for being able to rationalise without having to give in to extremes. Because surely the father would see how if someone is fully aware of the risks at hand is just so much better than growing up as a drone succumbing to religious doctrines.

Sure do (Speed channel for one), but hey, they show it on RenTV as well, that is if you can link back home to it via cable or satellite.

TKWL: Haha, we pretty much agree on every point there, frankly I have yet to meet a non-spaniard Alonso-fan, and I can understand why - winning races because the leader gets out of the race with endless mechanical/hydraulic/electric/wtf-where's-my-4th-wheel problems is just not getting any rates. Kimi on the other hand is always there to provide excitement, and one can only hope for a title to crown all the efforts finally -_-;; As for the car, I dunno I'm a fan of McLaren's just as much as Räikkönen's, and have this feeling they're gonna have the right gear in right time as always (minus the tech. problems hopefully).

And what about Nico?? The guy was amazing, those stunts vs the likes of Coulthard in an arguably better car is what we hope to see showcased by all the Flying Finns - hope he can keep it up and be worth watching just like Kimi was in his Sauber days (and let's hope Williams > Sauber for even more fun).

EDIT: oh yeah, on topic! I'm dating 2 girls right now, here you go:

This is just before attending Rocky Horror Picture Show, by the way. Stupid shitty camera phone.

This one just got cake slammed in her face at her 21st B-Day party (me on the left).

I don't usually have more than one girl at a time, but I like both of'em, so I'll keep this up as long as I can
