TheDubester

So now that TheDubester has shown the way to circumvent “that may come up as a case before the court” dodge, here are some potential questions for Roberts:

Which is more of a threat to society: A boss who sexually harasses his underlings or an abortion provider?

Do you believe that abortion doctors are more of a threat to society then Richard Reed, the Shoe Bomber? No, not all terrorists, just him: The guy who borrowed a match to light his shoe.

What is more alarming to you, the rate of abortions in this country or the repeal of the assault weapons ban?

Is stem cell research more dangerous then medical marijuana?

Is stem cell research more of a threat to our society then Global Warming?

Is preventing prisoner abuse in Guantanamo Bay more important then protecting unborn fetuses?

I don’t think I can top that last one. Think of your own. The key is to make it something that couldn’t come before the court, like comparisons of (radically different) stuff. TheDubester used the example “Is the First amendment more important then the Second amendment?” How could that possibly come before the court or prejudice any decision that possibly could come before the court? Despite its inherent meaninglessness, any response will generate good rhetorical sound bites.

Whatevah

In a fit of complete boredom I found myself watching "Something's Gotta Give" on HBO. My boredom was not alleviated apparently, as my mind began to idly wander until I started wondering what ever became of Sifl and Olly.

I only knew one guy who liked the show other then me. I looked them up on Wikipedia and it turns out that the guy who did Olly also did "The United States of Whatever", possily the funniest minute ever composed. I laughed more just thinking about that song then I had during the entire movie. When I clicked the link for the song I was confronted with this wiki-statement:

This article about a musical group, band, singer, musician, album, or song does not make it clear whether the subject meets the WikiProject Music criteria for importance. For guidelines see the WikiProject Music Notability and Music guidelines. If you have the relevant information, please expand the article to include it.

Needless to say, a response was necessary.

Some brief answers

I'm not myopic.

The reason that people, and especially women, rate attractiveness as more important in 1989 then in 1939 is that in 1939 "attractive" meant "cute face". In 1989 "attractive" meant "no fatties". In other words, the reason Americans rate attractiveness as more important is because we are uglier.
