Right. I forgot people tend to not think and usually react. I guess I should tone it down a bit.

If you want people to take you seriously.

Syn, you're such spaz, you know that something doesn't need citations to create lulz in the opinion section of a wiki. XD

Spoot didn't cite his opinion of my nice tits and it was still lulzy as hell.

And even then, they may not anyway.

Of course, then again, it is Gaia. Why would I waste my time actually putting effort into s**t here? IT'S GAIA. I can't take anyone seriously just cuz of the anime avatars alone. XD
     
To go back to the first post, one issue that I thought was very interesting was related to our public health care.

Of course, as everyone knows, Canada has public health care. This includes sex reassignment surgery. At least, it did until just this past summer.

In Alberta they decided that it no longer counted as a necessary procedure so it was reclassified as cosmetic, and those wanting to have it done must pay out of pocket.

I think this is awful. Opinions?

You seem to be trying pretty hard, in several senses of the word.

Eugh. It's just transphobia and greed. We're expendable and they want to lower costs

Don't you refuse to adjust pretty much everything you say no matter how nice people ask you? Haven't you even thrown around the n-word here once or twice?

I'm not sure there is a way to be productive with you when it comes to getting folk to change what they say so I guess I'm not that worried. XD
Nope.

Alberta is pretty much the Texas of Canada, so even though this is a d**k move, it's not really surprising coming from them.

I think it's a rather cynically optimistic view of life.


I think you just paradox'd us all.

sweatdrop Yea I kinda do that.

I think that's why people find me so confusing. I'm tiny but I have such a big personality, I'm still cute but I'm a huge nerd, I like to stay in but I like to go out, I'm lazy but I always want to be doing something, I'm so frigid when it comes to actually having sex but I'm positively a porn fiend via the internets.

I'm terribly negative but I say it in such a positive manner people aren't sure if they need to be disappointed or nor.

^_^ it's fun being me.

You are a lady of contradiction. A living paradox, if you will. XD

I don't recall using the n-word in here, and I respect people's wishes as long as that person is nice and/or I like them. So it can't be.
