^ Had I made a racist joke on this site, I would have been lambasted for it. And quite rightly so, I should add. But I was 99% certain that objecting to a sexist comment would be met by an admonition to "Lighten up."
There are times when I'd really prefer to be wrong. This was one of them.
You are certainly not wrong, Terri. The "b*tches" comment was idiotic and not at all humorous (although I'm not even sure if that is what the poster was attempting). You don't need to "lighten up" either.
Agreed, neither racism or sexism is funny in any way.

Thanks, Elf and Pastmaster. I certainly appreciate your comments.
OK, I want to give my sincerest apologies for the comment I made. I obviously was not thinking when I wrote that. You are most definitely right, along with Elf and Pastmaster. Sorry for that.

Thanks, Sublime. No grudges held.
Emigre80! Wow! Hello! You are a girl too, I am so happy to know this! Yep I agree all you said and thank you for that, sublime220 spoke out of context and thanks to you he realized how wrong he was in saying that. That's sweet of him to apologize tho'. Group hug
P.S. The only albums I know and enjoy from Camel is Mirage and Snow Goose. I prefer many other artists btw.

prog during a date? Hell, no!
"I'm gonna show you something huge, baby...ahh, here it is! Pawn Hearts! Confess it, honey, you can't resist the charm of A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers"
What next? Showing her my Magic the Gathering cards?
Friends =/= date

wouldn't prog during a date be a great way to find out if you've met the right person?
If she listens to prog it's not a date...it's a life long engagement
True Story: The girl I liked (she became my gf) loved and loves prog, she was my best friend though, I was talking about dates in general. Most people don't like prog (or don't even know what it is)
Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Well, it would be an effective test case...but agreed it might be a bit much for a first date. Maybe after a few weeks. Once you've gotten to know each other.

On a different note, The Dark Elf,
You don't like my Beatles tracks nor do you like my happy fav pop track Dexy's Midnight Runners. However, I do not give up easily, this bounce, bounce, bounce, happy bounce, ta tatitititititum ... track is for you

Kind of funny to see the the question connected to prog songs from the dark ages... if you're on a date now, isn't there a large chance the lady in question is more familiar with more modern (prog) music. Of course, I'm assuming things concerning age and interests here, but I'd sooner play a song by The Tangent, Ayreon, Pain of Salvation or even more recent on a date (maybe even Oceans 5 or Corvus Stone )
Or something Italian, like Unreal City - for some reason Italian vocals seem to work in some cases, .

If the dear lady liked Zappa, that very fact would intrigue me for sure. As far as music most likely to produce a happy ending I offer Spectral Mornings (the song) looping over and over again.

Ummm....Angelo...most of us are from the Dark Ages, and the women we are with also write with runes.
