There are some languages, like French, where a double negative is still a negative. But there are no languages were a double positive is a negative." A student replies: "Yeah. Right."

Cheers and happy weekend!

Three days ago my younger sister found out that mom had put the baby up for adoption, and found her. I have a new baby sister. I talked to her yesterday. It was incredible.

I do not smoke, nor do I like to be around cigarette smoke and cigarette smokers.~

How soon before the advertising people decide that every single television commercial also needs profanity in order to appeal to the target demographic by seeming cool, hip and current and therefore boost profits?~ less

(You may choose either the third from the left side of that foot or the third from the right side, whichever you consider to be the least interesting.)

A little backstory, some interesting facts about the performers, or the production, or the studios, or the public's reaction, fine. I wouldn't mind a word or two about the movie, a thumbnail view, it's just that they practically tell me everything I'm about to see onscreen, which to me defeats the purpose of watching the movie! If I wanted someone to tell me what's about to happen before it happens, I wouldn't be watching it. I always hit the mute button when they start their spiels, and once the opening credits roll, I turn the volume back up. ~ less

What are some reasons for this wish? I think when we made some mistakes, we would make similar or totally other ones in that second chapter.
