. . . Bunch of children, the lot of you. I was under the impression that a soldier was sexless.. they all end up dying for the same stupid reasons, what’s it matter if they wear a bra while they’re getting shot up?

At that point in time, all soldiers got the same weapon unless in a special unit (Special Forces, Rangers, etc.)

M-16. Every time.

Women are doing all the work? Last I knew, there have been far more men killed in combat than women. And don’t quote me, but I’m pretty sure women aren’t even required to register for the Selective Service, even if they just want a driver’s license. Yeah, women are doing all the work.

That weapon is way too big for her. She could have at least grabbed something a bit more suitable for her size. What’s she 5’0″? You would think they would have denied her entry into the military due to her being too small.

You could, but don’t. It wouldn’t matter, really, because it’s not coming from the right party, and frankly, we’re just about getting used to it.

Thank you for the thought, though.

For middle school we did a field trip to a local mission and actually got to help with some of the archeological stuffs. Mostly it was cleaning off pits of things that they’d already dug up, but it was still really awesome. My elementary school also had a colonial day where everyone dressed up like someone from colonial America, and then we spent the whole day doing crafts. Mostly the types of crafts that would have been considered work in colonial times, now that I think about it. Candle making, soap making, sewing, rope making, lantern making…

No. No way at this school. Everything is done accurately. The dressing-up is not optional; it’s part of the curriculum. The history teachers are amazing.

One of my high school English teachers had an annual day when everyone had to dress as a character from Canturbury Tales. As I spent 98% of my time in high school trying to blend in with the walls, I skipped that day.

Now it kinda sounds like fun. Youth is wasted on the young….

By: Naoyusimi

Naoyusimi — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 19:02:17 +0000

That’s another awesome idea!

I was guessing that perhaps they could’ve allowed the kids some leeway in the time period, especially if they could get them interested in the history and participate in the dressing-up.

At my son’s school’s production of Othello, someone brought their one-year-old. It started laughing during Desdemona’s death scene (where she isn’t quite dead yet). My son and his friends were sitting right in front of the baby and kept cracking up. I found out later from the technical director that although the actors couldn’t hear the baby, they heard the suppressed laughter and couldn’t figure out what was going on.

I promise, mabs, you won’t hear what I say to my friend, just her laughter.

Hmm. I thought that was the name. I must be mistaken. I went to a REALLY lousy high school and didn’t learn much history and only took American Western history in college.

Yes, they go to a very good private school and do lots of cool things. In 8th grade they did a mock archaeological dig — each class made artifacts from a specific culture, then buried them, and excavated another class’s site. Then had to determine the other culture from the artifacts.

In the middle of the first Harry Potter, when Filch is looking for an invisibility cloaked Harry in the library and says I’ll find you (or something like that), it was really quiet in the theatre and then suddenly this little voice called out “oh, no, you won’t”. The entire audience lost it. It was great.

“Medieval Day”? She’s beyond beyond Medieval – that period’s not even Dark Ages; she died in 60 or 61.

But that’s a cool idea, to get kids interested in history that way.

PS My son’s friend was Queen Boudicca for Medieval Day at school in 9th grade. They each had to research a famous character, write a paper on him/her and dress up as that character for the day. He was William Wallace.

Ew. Sorry, but usually I go with my SON and my husband, so no.

Wait, you mean other people? Well, as long as they’re reasonably quiet and it’s not “Finding Nemo” that’s full of kids. If your kids are too young to deal with someone making out in a movie theater, then they shouldn’t be at adult (not x, just themes) movies.

By: Naoyusimi

Naoyusimi — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:33:55 +0000

Queen Boudicca led a revolt against the Romans’ occupation of England, for just one example.

Besides, you’re putting conditions on your demand for information that I never said anything about: namely, “in equal or greater numbers” — what does that have to do with anything?

Although I prefer quiet during movies, laughter is not the same as noisy talking, and you are entitled to your sense of humor (warped as it may be ).

I’m the same way. That’s half the reason I was so angry because I was really good for most of the movie but I have issues with people telling me what to do and telling me that I wasn’t allowed to laugh at that particular spot because she didn’t deem it funny ticked me off.

Your friend would HATE me. Whenever I go to the movies with one of my friends, I constantly lean over and crack jokes (very quietly) about what’s going on. Even if I like the movie. There’s something about this particular friend that makes me want to crack her up during movies.

I know, I’m bad. No cookies for me, right?

Oh, and one other thing. The Army still doesn’t allow women in direct combat. The ones stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq are pencil pushers. Up until recently, they didn’t even get combat training. So I’d wager that this was strictly for the photo op.

Well unless he masquerades as a tomboyish woman…

My friend also absolutely hates any talking of any kind during movies. Last summer when we went to see Half-Blood Prince there was a scene where everyone is sitting around talking and Mr. Weasley is sitting in a chair with this weird expression on his face and a pillow in his lap and it looked so unintentionally ridiculous that me and another friend just started cracking up. My one friend was pissed at the end of the movie. To the point that I was angry because she was so angry.

I’m not saying none of them work. I’m saying a lot don’t. I was in the Navy, and even there, away from direct combat, women became a burden. Ever had to deal with being under-manned thanks to a girl getting pregnant just to get out of deployment?

PS: I’m woman.
