Screencaps, News and a Meme

[misscam]

Been screencapping season three and season four of CSI (season one and two to come). Here's a small selection, rather Grissom/Sara, Catherine/Warrick focused, but with other stuff as well. *coughlotsofWarrickcough* High resolution, feel free to use if you find any use for them or want to make me something pretty (I have no shame).

S3&4 Selected Screencaps

A BBC story that caught my eye - A growing number of pharmacists across America are refusing to dispense birth control and the morning-after pill

I find this more than a little troubling, to be frank. All in all, there are more than a few rather fundamentalist Christian campaigns out of the US of late leaving me feeling vaguely disturbed. I am not Christian. I do not want fundamentalist Christian morals to dictate *my* choices or the laws that govern me, but the US is great influence on the world. On my little sheltered Norway, too. But there are other forces at work too, of course. Fundamentalist Islam, growing secularism.... The future is still ours to shape and nothing is ever much certain.

In Norwegian news:
Crocodile seized in Oslo
'Russ' challenges draw ire
Football season starts

Five questions mem, as asked by belegcuthalion.

1. Norwegian people seem to be rather patriotic. What makes you love your country so much?

We're small and tiny and no one ever notices us much, so we have to love oruselves extra much to make up for it ;) Okay, kidding aside, I think it's a tradition bred into us by first the independence movement up to 1905 and later our occupation by Germany during WW2. And it is a beautiful, peaceful, quiet country where we live well.
2. If anyone gave you 1.000.000 $, what would you do with all the money?

Buy a little flat, then half the year work for various volunteer missions, the other half of the year I'd write, relax, run various web projects I'm pondering - just live. Eventually I'd use my experience to get a job at the UN or maybe even suceed as a writer.

3. Which famous book would you love to have written yourself?

Heh. Lord of the Rings, obviously.

4. What's your favorite drink?

Ice tea, green tea.

5. What kind of music makes you run anway screaming?

Neo-Nazi heavy metal with Viking references.

If you want me to ask you five questions, just make a comment.

And I had the oddest CSI/Amazing Race crossover dream yesterday. Grissom and Sara were racing and were in the final three teams, as was Warrick and me, though I'm not sure if I was dreaming me as me or me as Catherine. Most peculiar either way.

[alice-to-qs-8th.livejournal.com]

I would love to look at your Warrick/Catherine and Grissom/Sara screencaps (as I have been contemplating icon ideas). However, the album seems keen on me giving it a password, which I don't have. This makes me a sad bunny.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Whoops, my apologies, I forgot to make it public. Link should work now. Sorry!

(Hee, icon!)

[krazykat.livejournal.com]

*begs shamelessly for questions*

I agree with you about the BBC article. I wrote up a post about it, so I won't bother saying here what I posted then. That practice has me deeply troubled and worried.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

1. Why are you a Ravenclaw?
2. Jane Austen - early feminist or not?
3. What's the greatest herb name you know of?
4. Why are humans so attracted to mythology?
5. Your favourite science fact that few people know.

[hadria.livejournal.com]

I'd make you an icon, but when I went to look at the pretty caps, photobucket asks me for your password, and after I tried "warrick" and that didn't work, I gave up. I think you need to go into 'account options' and click the button that makes your photoalbum public/private.

Hit me up with some questions?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Duuuh. *smacks self for stupidity* It's fixed now, so link should work. Mesa has a brainsa, I swearsa.

Questions, questions...

1. Whose babies would you have just to spread his DNA among humankind?
2. What's one thing you want to do before turning 30?
3. Hockey - beautiful game of skating skill or men skating for reasons to fight?
4. When it is most advantageous to go for a Fast Forward?
5. What's your favourite CSI experiment ever?

[mystefaction.livejournal.com]

The BBC article is worrying. I am sympathetic to the feelings of those pharmacists who are religious/pro-life (undoubtedly they truly believe that filling birth-control scripts is facilitating murder), but a woman's right of access to birth control is equally important. A "conscience clause" would only really be feasible if the right of access could be ensured some other way - hard to do, maybe, in small towns with only one pharmacy/doctor/health centre/whatever.

Questions please?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

But women couldn't fertilize all our eggs even if we wanted to, so the egg=life thing is utter balony. Birth control ensures the egg meets no sperm and thus never starts down the road to becoming a little baby. There is no killing. Gaaaah! *rants*

1. Should Australia knock the Commonwealth and become a Republic?
2. You could choose one author who would come out with a new book - yes, he can be dead. Who?
3. The best Tim Tam flavour?
4. Does a bad ending ruin a fanfic for you?
5. All fanfic authors can be banned from doing one plot. Which?

[sinneahtes.livejournal.com]

*fumes about the birth control thing*

"While they have the right to obtain the prescription, as an individual I always have my own rights not to fill it."

Ooh! Ooh! As an "individual" myself, do I have the right to go up to this person and punch him/her in the face then?! Because my line of thinking tells me that's what s/he deserves!

It must be really nice to believe you can refuse to do your job (to the point even of being rude to a customer or preventing her from keeping her life from being ruined) and still expect to keep your job (or else raise a stink about what a martyr you are). Really nice. Maybe I'd be sympathetic if a person REALLY believes birth control isn't something they believe they should be dispensing, if they let someone else within convenience dispense it in their place. But lecturing on morals, humiliating customers, preventing them from getting their prescription? Good bye to all traces of sympathy.

*grumble*

If you've got 5 questions to ask, my LJ will be glad that I don't rant myself blue about school in it tonight. ;)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

1. Why a pink layout?
2. What do whales really sing about?
3. You can bring back on extinct animal/fish/reptile. Which?
4. If cats ruled the world, the world would be...?
5. Your Sailor Moon name would be...?

Maybe people next will start muttering about how they as vegetarians can refuse to serve meat to people in resturants they work at. *rolls eyes*
