I knew it would happen. I just didn’t think so soon. Absolutely no response to my thread on Justice in Space.
[bitch and whine session]
Doesn’t this matter to anyone??? We could be on the verge (sp?) of total anarchy in space and no one gives a damn. What the hell is wrong with society?
[/bitch and whine session]
First of all:
Why the hell does a discussion of legal jurisdiction in SPACE belong in GD? or IMHO?
Seeing as how the issue isn’t going to arise for awhile I figured it was probably mundane and pointless. If I’m wrong, I apologize.
Second of all:
I think that Jerry would have very strong feelings about this subject.
The forum is Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share. It’s not for discussing issues. Great Debates or IMHO is for discussing issues. And I think that we should discuss issues NOW, rather than wait til the last minute.
Your monthly visit from Auntie Flo has nothing to do with the moon, its tides or its waxing and waning. It’s a biological co-inky-dink. Of course, there is the fact that the moon is a cold harsh place…which does fit women well, but not enough of a claim from that!
In fact if anyone should own the moon, it is men, in repayment for all those years you women claimed to have it.
So there!! Nyah-Nyah ::: Sticks out Tongue :::
You people are sick! You sound like my kind of people!
By the way, not trying to hijack this thread, but I noticed we now have a face for “happy orthodox jewish man.” ;j Why not “unhappy orthodox jewish man,” or “happy unorthodox jewish man,” or “unhappy unorthodox jewish man.” And why are there no women in this list! Are we trying to marginalize unhappy, unorthodox men and women? [end of sillines (for now!)]
matt_mcl – you may rise, one that understands the power of the female.
cleosia – you are slapped and tickled until you pee your pants for such a jack. You didn’t mean to means nothing! You did! Or at least you tried to, so slap, tickle. After her! (Although, you made a great point. One that I think you should start another pit thread about)
And what’s-yer-face: I don’t know about you but my period is in sync with the moon. I know that I am one of the few but I also know this isn’t as rare or special as some would call it. I can very accurately chart my menstrual cycle by the cycle of the moon. Dunno. Seems weird but I’m telling the truth. (Great, now a bunch of folks are going to go back and see if they can chart the bitchiness of my posts by the moon. Charming!)
Byz:
I don’t give too much weight to sexist pigs. matt:
How did you get that great smiley? (I want keystrokes, if they exist, like to get you type : D without the space.) Are there any other ethnic smilies around?
BTW: Women in groups tend toward all having periods in synch. This allows males to have more of an option when breeding time comes around. So, Byz, changing jobs could wipe your little talent. Or you could spawn a whole group of women who feel just as bad as you do right around the same time.
Derleth – I rarely give notice to newbie swine; however, it is true that women, in close quarters often find their menstrual cycles fall into synchronisation. This has nothing to do with men. Although, I’m sure they would LOVE to think it does. It doesn’t. It has to do with very subtle pheromone signals sent out by all the women (in their sweat) in the close quarters. There have been studies done where women were only to sniff the armpit secretions of other women (over the course of many days) and this supposed “phenomenon” took place.
But, if you will also look at some of the studies done, the woman with the strongest connection to the moon was the woman to whom everyone else’s flow fell in line to.
And just to blow you out of the water a bit more: I work at home, alone. I am very deeply in tune to the earth, the moon and other natural forces as part of my Path. Again, to blow you out of the water a bit more, I don’t get bitchy due to “that time of the month”. As I’ve said on other threads, I become even more creative. My being a bitch has nothing to do with my vaginal secretions. What’s your excuse?
What the fuck, over? Since this is the Pit, and lovely Lynn said it belongs here, where do you ‘Ladies’ get off, tearing tongues and genitals out, bashing newbies,making smiley face inquiries, or quibbling about your ‘flow control’? Jez! Let someone hijack your thread on ‘whatever’ and all fuckin’ hell would break loose!
Get back to the OP or start your own moon/flow/genital ripping thread. Maybe you could even be nice and say ‘sorry’ to Winky!
Now, with that said, concerning the OP:
I work in the space industry, and it is ‘Big Business’.
I can’t help but think that in the end, space is going to be controlled by large corperations. They are poised to rush in as soon as governments fund a better way of getting there and staying there in a cost effective way. Just look at what may be going on with MIR. Private conpany wanting to make a space hotel for the rich, eccentric folks! Like anyone with a brain would want to stay in that stinking deathtrap!
Once we get the moon as a permanent mining settlement, it will be used as a dumping ground and jumping point to rape the rest of the planets to make BIG $ for that small band of rich fucking corporate assholes.
But that’s just my opinion and I’ve been wrong before.
later, Tom

Tom, it is just the spirit of the pit. Kind of a over the top attitude at times. I’m pretty sure that Byz knew my response to her was in that vein, save of course for the part about cycles being ruled by the moon, that part is accurate, though from her later post subject to some more coincidence.
Though I do admit that her response was rather…erg.
