I demand to read 'Two Monks Discuss Childbirth and Nursing' immediately. Get on it, Ortberg.
I don't think they owe us that duty, but I'm less inclined to read bloggers who don't retract or correct errors, I think. The same way that I'm less inclined to read blogs that lie or misrepresent themselves.
It depends what you mean by obligation. Correcting one's errors is the gentlemanly thing to do, and not doing so reduces one's credibility. Apart from that, it's up to the blogger, since morality is just pretend.
I agree with what you say, but if he said, 'why do you think equality is a good thing?' would you have an answer? I'm atheist but not humanist, so I am interested to know how you'd respond to that.
Or, from the other side, 'Tories: better than sea monkeys'. Which may be their next campaign slogan (I've never seen Cameron and a sea monkey in the same room, mind you. Deeply suspicious. Maybe he'll do nothing and then die after a fortnight?)
I got sea monkeys when I was younger. Single most disappointing experience of my life, even including the results of the recent UK election.
This list makes me feel that I have failed as a white man, but then I checked under the bed (as instructed) and found five pounds, so I feel today has been a net win.
Oh my fucking god he so should.
I have just been reading Wynne-Jones' 'Tough Guide To Fantasyland' and she is so scathing about everyone eating stew all the time in fantasy novels. 'We're making a perilous journey where we may be attacked at any time and are in kind of a hurry. What shall we have for every single meal? Stew! It takes ages to prepare and you need bowls and actual cutlery to eat it! It's perfect!'
In my first grown-up job, the offices were above a warehouse. The toilet was in the kitchen. With no divider between the toilet and what would be the food prep area if everyone wasn't too disgusted to prep food there. I didn't stay there long.
