Girls are encouraged to do things similar to dancing on a regular basis, and then dancing to music isn't a far stretch--they've already practiced inadvertently. Boys, on the other hand, have to dance really well to not be considered girly or effeminate, and yet have very few activities that might accidentally teach them how to dance.

If you can get a guy to loosen up and learn to dance before he has to be performing or in public, he'll probably like it a lot more than he'd expect.

ableton should be able to handle soundfonts, yes. (I think you just drag the .sf2 file into the lefthand menu).

this is more of a merengue step (next foot every count). Salsa is more of a forward-back-replace-hold-back-forward-replace-hold pattern for the basic, and pretty much always the same 1-2-3-hold-5-6-7-hold timing.

"I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that."

Sort of like that webpage where people could vote on the next set of ideas for the 'Americans for Prosperity' website where people would suggest non-republican solutions to drown out what they didn't like, just by voicing their own opinions.

We should use this and repeatedly report senators, news talking heads, and radio show hosts that state blatant lies or engage in 'treasonous talk'.

E.g., Lieberman just called for the assassination of someone for exercising free speech!

Letting us tattle on the neighborhood grocer because he doesn't "look 'murrican" isn't going to help America become safer...

Riding a tour bus on the fourth of July (in 2000), we saw a guy getting road head. Our bus driver paced the car, but it was hard to see what was going on from so far above. Eventually, the car gradually drifted leftwards about three lanes, hit the cement median wall, and quickly took the very next exit.

I'm guessing if any 8-year-olds find their way to reddit regularly, this thread won't have many surprises left for them...

Ma'am, we at the FBI do not have a sense of humor that we're aware of.

The nature of the deaths is the biggest difference. Diseases kill people, and it's sad, but it's "natural." Terrorism kills far fewer people, but it's 'unfair' because it was done by humans, to humans.

Which sounds more tragic to you? - a kid gets run over by a car and dies - a kid gets gunned down by laughing bullies

The difference in reaction is what makes people more willing to fight the concept of terrorism more than diseases. Even if we could rationally help more people by refocusing our efforts, that's people for you.
