Very true! However, that doesn't mean you won't meet a Night Elf whose name is derived from Greek (and proto-Indo-European)!. I saw this Night Elf guy in Orgrimmar whose name I could have sworn was!

See, "thou" (second person singular pronoun) is Indo-European in origin, which became "you," the possessive of which is "your". And I know one part of his name looks like it came from the proto-Indo-European "mater," which has a cognate in Modern Greek! That was followed by a couple short syllables that looked to me like a familiar verb and article, but perhaps I'm reading too much into them? However, another root I noticed in his name came to Europe from Mongol or maybe West Turkic by way of Byzantine Greek - I can't type Cyrillic, but I know this word was adopted into Russian, Polish, German, Middle French, and then English: "horde"!

Amazing the similarities you find among different languages, not only among those of Earth, but Azeroth as well!

Yay, Tio Chano!!!'

That was DiCaprio, right?

Daphne is a name for a Night Elf? Does Greg play WoW?

And I bet they can count in Japanese!

Speaking of which, that's another reason I'd rather keep gratuitous explicit sex scenes off prime-time: "Oh look, group sex... blah... a coupla dudes jerking each other off - seen that how many times before? Hey, a five-some! But do I have the attention span for that, lol? Something else... man, why isn't there anything good on?"

The good news is that everything old is either new again or will be new soon (it just so happens Sodom and Gomorrah are hip right now). A degree of modesty in dress is coming back (look for the articles on appropriate office wear - sadly, there's a need for such articles, but their existence means skankiness hasn't triumphed!); romance is starting to come back, but it's fighting the hookup "culture." I can tell you, plenty of 20 and 30 something women are outgrowing the latter and hoping to meet a guy with balls and class! As long as women don't give in to hopelessness, romance could fully come back into our dating culture. If we win that battle, maybe discretion will be next?

And werewolves with temperatures. ^__^ Actually, I think they're turning to books more often lately - Percy Jackson and the Olympians, 3 of the Narnia books, Dear John, My Sister's Keeper, The Blind Side, The Lovely Bones, etc. I get the impression they're relying on books more often these days - maybe we're not just imagining things and screenwriters really aren't writing anything better than whiny Postmodernist hate-America crap.

Oh, there have been a few posts... I try to use bad language sparingly (so when I do, it has more oomph!).

“Viewers are about to see full-frontal male nudity, heterosexual, homosexual and group sex, and graphic scenes rarely — if ever — seen on mainstream TV.”

But I don't want to see people f*cking each other - I want a f*cking good story! This blows. I guess I'll have to go back to books. :P

OMG, Jesus was Jewish. What a f*cking moron Wright is. Or maybe he's not a moron - maybe he knows the kinds of lies he needs to tell to get people feeling good and victimized.

Or maybe he's crazy.

"Abortion is not right for all women"

Yeah, some women feel bad when their unborn babies die. Others don't care. I can understand the first reaction, but the second is pretty damn callous.

I'm not so upset about abortion being legal - however, I am upset that so many women encourage each other not to treat it as a big deal. "Why should you feel bad? It was just some tissue," they say. But it's normal for women to care about their offspring, whether or not they make it to birth. This is why many crisis pregnancy centers offer post-abortion counseling - they know that those women who acknowledge that they have just killed their babies are going to need therapy.
