  What can we do as Seattle citizens to make it safer for cyclists?

  4 1 We can institute something called neighborhood greenways, which they have in Portland and provides alternative paths all over the city for pedestrians & cyclists with minimal gas traffic. Seattle seems pre-equipped for this, since nearly every neighborhood block has an alley up the middle of some kind or another.

  what movie should i watch?

  1 0 Nine to Five is a really great comedy which was also one of the only (other) movies written & directed by Colin Higgins, who wrote Harold & Maude. It came out before the term "sexual harassment" did and it deals with it forcefully and hilariously so that should appeal to your feminist side. Also it's an early office comedy so there's your hat trick. I wouldn't call it slapstick, but it uses a lot of visual humor. See it if you haven't! If you want to watch something more serious or maybe violent, I'd also strongly recommend The Baader-Meinhoff Complex, which is a true story, and Pedro Almodovar's Matador which is like a romantic horror movie. Those two are in German & Spanish, respectively. Ivanhoe Beanstalk answered in Entertainment & Film about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 9 more answers »

  0 0 Just to follow up about this matter from the secular point of view: When talking about this and other psycho/social studies, there seems to be a common position implied and accepted by many without explanation, which involves a hypothetical removal of a subject from all social conditioning for the purposes of distilling whether something is "nature or nurture". Perhaps this is a wish for an impossible control group who could be studied without any social conditioning. Without the benefit of something like a Skinner box or Kasper Hauser this would be impossible and cruel in any case, but it seems to be a pernicious and pointless thought experiment that is usually present in some way when this subject comes up. Can anyone follow what I'm talking about? I'm having trouble because I'm not versed in philosophical terms but I'd like to know if there is a term for this logical fallacy. Professor Mudede?

  0 0 Yeah they're usually tank tops or cutoff sleeveless shirts, but cut way down to the waist, almost. It seems to be a trend, at least with athletic guys, but if there isn't a name for it yet I'll nominate yours. Ivanhoe Beanstalk commented about 1 year ago

  0 0 Ha ha well there's no accounting for taste! You could be right, though. I still crack up whenever I think about the '80's "half-shirt" trend. That's one '80's fashion that will not likely rear its head the second time around! Ivanhoe Beanstalk commented about 1 year ago

  0 0 That name sounds like it would be right, but none of the pictures I see look like it. It's an athletic shirt men wear that's sleeveless and the sides/armholes are cut almost all the way down to the waist. Mostly worn by jock-types showing off! Ivanhoe Beanstalk commented about 1 year ago
