Ja, und ich gebe auch sofort zu, mein "bringt denen doch bei" war gut gemeint, aber eigentlich Quatsch; mein Eindruck ist, dass die meisten Kinder das von selbst verstehen, wenn ihnen niemand mit Gewalt das Gegenteil beibringt.

Und diese Leute, die sagen, es sei für die Phantasie der Kinder so wichtig, an den Weihnachtsmann zu glauben (oder so), bringt denen doch lieber bei, dass es einen Unterschied gibt zwischen spielerischer Fantasie und (teils ja sogar bedrohlichen) Lügen.

I love this, thank you!

Also this battle doesn't even seem all that hopeless, given that none of their plans for the future of plagiarism machines are feasible.

Are there any requirements for the work(s) or can any story participate? I might have jumped the gun a bit in answering question 2) before checking what this actually is.

extremely spicy food, I prefer to eat withou pain.
But that's really it. I'm done. Pinky swear. Thanks, bye!

All right, so there you have it, more than you ever wanted to know about my spice comfort level. Oh maybe a bonus answer to complete the circle: My actual spice comfort level is pretty low. I don't like

When reading, I'm much more relaxed although I don't particular seek out sexy stories. I don't mind sex, but I don't
