Pretty much, but mostly he's merely disagreeing with my notion of proof.

Yup - here he's twisting around what I'm saying, and implying
sarcastically that I'm unbelievable.  That's even WORSE than
calling me liar.  That's obnoxious!

Anyway, I think I pretty much refuted him - not too difficult.
Common sense meets Ed's views like a steel-tipped boot kicking cat scat.

Yes, Seth considers pizza to be free.

Damn nice t-shirt, designed by Garry Trudeau for Sally's 50th
anniversary.  Probably the classiest pizza t-shirt around.  

Alas, when i was visiting the CIA, (the one in Hyde Park, not the one
in Foggy Bottom (or is that State--somebody please set me straight on
this)) our guide suggested that a t-shirt, even from Sally's, wasn't
quite the attire for their Mobil four-star restaurant.  Some people.
Our guide, btw, turned out to be a science fiction fan from Chicago
(she worked Capricon con suites for five years) so we got the cook's
tour, dinner at one of the Institute's restaurats, a second meal at a
demonstration,  lots of inside gossip, and were introduced as "friends
from the midwest."  "Life is large and the world is small," she said.

I tried those, since I used to live there.
I didn't like Stella Artois, or Brasal either.
We are talking about subjective taste, here.
(The stuff *I* really preferred was brewed right in my own kitchen.)

I enjoyed a good DOW ALE when I could find one.
Last summer, The Satellite (just off the Dorval Circle) was still serving it.

My understanding of current evolutionary theory is that this is not
neccesarily the case; for one thing, strongly gay people (by this
argument) out to have been bred out a _long_ time ago.

The things trying to reproduce are not individuals, they're _genes_ -
so if people who prefer to remain single are a net benefit to the
reproductive success of those with whom they are closely related,
there would be an evolutionary benefit (from the POV of the genes)
to some proportion of the population remaining single.

This leaves out the entire body of argument about cultural evolution
(Lamarkian, rather than Darwinian) and questions about how much value
various present sub-cultures place on reproduction, too.

My guess is that the majority of women (excepting those

with an "honest to goodness nice guy".

Therefore when confronted with this new experience (of
actually meeting one) they retreat into the "familiar",
that is, scuzy guys.

PYM and it's corrolaries POM, PYW and POW are net terms for

Problem Younger Woman
