    No way. My average work day runs from 10pm to a round 9am at the moment. I like the peace and quiet. If I work during the day I get distracted by TV and stuff, and I find 5 hours have gone by and I'm still watching repeats of Top Gear.

    I feel you. I find myself way too easily distracted by those awful court shows my mother watches on TV all day long. I can't stand them, but when you have angry judges yelling in the background how can you not stop and stare?

    Thankfully, I can multitask quite well most of the time.

    I don't think we have those shows on British TV, thank god, but I've heard of them. I've got about 290 channels on my TV, so I just can't trust myself to work during the day (of course, only about 3 of those channels ever shows anything worthwhile, but still...).

    Seriously, they are the most annoying things to hit television since... well actually, they are probably the most annoying thing on TV with the exception of soap operas (EWWW.) We have 50 of them, I swear -- it's getting ridiculous.

    You have to wonder where they find their audience. Surely there are so many of these things on TV that each show must attract 10 unemployed people and a dog.

    There are TONS on television, you have no idea. I don't know where they get their audience, but as long as there are people like my mother these shows will still come on.

    I am gay .. ive always known i was gay. I had a hard life growing up in school with teasing and such.. By the time i got to be a junior in highschool in 1997, i came out and it made me more popular.

    I know many gay couples who raise kids.. one of my best friends has a daughter and he is gay. She goes to school and says "my daddy likes boys"... she does not get ridiculed and neither does anyone else. It is not wrong to bring up kids in a gay relationship anymore. Society is changing and unless your talking about people in Texas, then your wrong. Its a lot easier these days and in 15 years no one is going to give a damn.. Not in the US anyway.

    Well said. I think gay couples should have just as much right to raise children as anyone else in this country. It's not gross, disgusting, or wrong. If they have the capability to love and nurture a child, I say let them.

    Children are going to be teased regardless of whether they have straight or gay parents. That's a pathetic arguement someone came up with.

    Sorry I'll backup gay people up until having kids. Gay people always say that they are proud of who they are, with being proud of who they are does that not come with the 'bad's as well including NOT being able to have kids.

    Talk about having it both ways... With this I'm done with this topic, be proud but not proud enough to embrace it fully...:rolleyes:

    Um, hello Grim... why can't gay people have kids? There is always adoption, or other methods of conceiving a child. Women who are single but want a baby do this. Why can't gay people?

    Being single does not make you unable to have kids, you can easily go out for a one night stand.

    Naturally being gay takes away that ability, there is no way at all of any rational thought process to say that being gay does not take your ability to have kids away naturally. Come up with one and I'll support it, until then be proud of being gay if you are that includes removing things you 'want' but can not naturally have being gay. If you want to have kids and are gay you do not fully accept who you are, there simply is no way of denying it.

    Yet again...I'm done with it :)

    I have nothing against gay people, but come one be proud of who you are, if you're proud of being gay that = the goods and the bads. Don't try having it both ways.

    Then I guess we will agree to disagree with this one :)
