...not my cup of tea. - 8 (12.9%)
...REALLY hard to swallow, even on a dare. - 4 (6.5%)

Hold on a mo, that means that 87.1% of you are prepared to put goldfishes in your cup of tea, 7% of which are too bloody useless to then even drink it properly.
Shocking.

--- Quote from: Wiregeek on 09 Dec 2010, 22:37 ---*shrug* they started less than 3/4 of an inch long. The only difference between a 'carp' and a 'goldfish' is an evolution st, I mean, about a half dozen leve, no, wait, time.
That's the ticket.

Not that much time, really. The only thing keeping a goldfish from attaining carpdom seems to be the size of the 'tank' and, possibly, skin color. I've seen 'bait' goldfish that got loose in a pay-to-fish catfish farm, and they weren't not exactly teeny. Unless a foot and a half is teeny to you. I was told that one was by far not the largest one in there, and the guy who owned the ponds drug the thing every so often.

Just be grateful that all they turn into is slightly bigger goldfish and not raging sea-serpent monstrosities capable of breathing three different flavours of fire.

Sandman.
Yes.

Oh dear lord, I have enough of you "I-don't-understand-how-percentages-work" people in my classes, I have to deal with them here, too?!!?

--- Quote from: Olymander on 10 Dec 2010, 02:53 ---I voted for silence, but I think there should be a "denial" option up there in the poll. I can easily see Dora going to the therapist and saying, "I don't really think this is a big thing, but my friends made me come and..."
And I also wonder about the numbering (#1816 vs #1815). I suspect typo, but it's hard to tell.

Personally, I think that's covered by "fear." We deny what we're afraid of, for it must not be.
--- End quote ---
I can kind of agree in the general sense, but in the specific sense I was trying to cite, I disagree. I was viewing it more of a "it's not really a problem, sure it might have ruined _this_ relationship, but I'm sure there's a guy out there that's right for me, so I don't really have to change, Marten just happened to be wrong for me and I'm sorry about that, but that doesn't mean I can't deal with this problem if it happened to be someone else". I guess I'm viewing it more as a self-justification denial as opposed to a fear denial. Kind of like the "We are so armored in our certitude that we do not bow to such a trivial thing as reality". She's not so much afraid of the problem, as much as she may not really think it exists.
