I am now in love with the phrase "cookie shame." Thank you, Calli.
Heh. My first thought was That Would Make a Good Band Name.
I'm going to have some Snickers ice cream bar shame this afternoon.
Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I do not give one crap if anyone I know plays 18 hours of WoW while eating pizzas and chain-smoking. I'm not the arbiter of anyone's lifestyle.
What about helmet or seatbelt laws?
If someone chooses not to do something that I, personally, do, it's really not my place to get in their face about it.
Though I'd hardly equate seatbelt laws with thinking someone shouldn't play 18 hours of WoW.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hmm, so you don't think we should legislate those things? What about speed limits? I see a difference in personal choices, like how one spends one's time or what one eats, but once one gets out in public, it's different, for me at least.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, but then you get into issues of the cost to taxpayers.

Yeah, my reaction to that statement was that it could be taken to mean that we shouldn't have any laws or rules about anything; everyone should be allowed to do what they want. I don't think Tep is an anarchist, but I don't know.
I'm finding this discussion interesting, by the by, even though I don't have useful thoughts.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't know, shame is just generally not useful. It doesn't really stop anyone from doing anything, it just makes us hide it. Aside from where you land in individual rights vs. community standards.

I agree.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That Would Make a Good Band Name would make a good band name.

i.e, being secular girl and live in Jerusalem. I don't dress flashy, but the looks I sometime get makes me feel really bad about myself, while I'm not trying to provoke any scene, just walking in the street. Because having old men spitting at the sidewalk when you walk near them is such a great greeting. I try to keep from those places as much as I can, but sometimes the banks I need are there.

Spit back! That will learn them (actually it won't at all but it may be emotionally satisfying)!
