Actually it seems they are. The tax code is hard to read, but I am currently not seeing why they should be exempt. I am not a lawyer or anything, but the only category they seem to fall under is "educational purposes" but they lose out there because the political bent to some articles.

Too bad it isn't because the IRS realized this or anything, but rather just because they were highly neglectful at filing some paperwork. Of course, maybe that paperwork was "Why exactly should you be tax exempt?"

Thought about this today: How do people feel sadness, fear, anger, joy, and love? Figured it would fit in the Rage thread.

Interesting findings (obviously from a western cultural -appears to be British- standpoint):
http://www.emotionallyvague.com/results_01.php - Anger trends in the impersonal, general "people". Joy and Love comes from the personal family and friends and other such specifics. Death and loneliness are at the top of Sadness and Fear. Music is high on the list of things that bring Joy and Love; other forms of art do not have the same effect.

http://www.emotionallyvague.com/results_02.php - Anger is concentrated in the head (even shoots out of it), upper body, and fists. Fear settles in the stomach and cages us. Sadness flows down from the sky and sticks close to a person, weighing them down. Joy is open, and Love open even more, all over the body and throughout a person's being.

http://www.emotionallyvague.com/results_04.php - Colour coding seems to have obvious results: red for anger and love, blue/dark for sadness, bright colours for joy. It's worth noting that Love and Anger share the same shade of bright red, however.

http://www.emotionallyvague.com/results_05.php - Anger is once again focused on the mind. Joy and Love extended mostly outwards from an individual. And in the case of Love, happy squiggles.

Angerperson is terrifying.

Nice find, Kael. The results to the second experiment seem spot on, especially.

Look person looks pretty scary.

"People" is one of the top row responses for both Anger and Love. Considering that they also share a color association, I'm seeing a trend here.

[KaelGotDwarves]

Yeah, they do. However anger is just "people" and me/I, while Love has friends/family ranked before generic "people", and many more specific people listed throughout the feeling list.

EDIT: and people hate cyclists. I'm guessing this was an urban-based survey.

Double-edit:

Lastly, I would like to thank all the unnamed people in London, Ireland and Berlin who completed the survey with such honesty and humour.

Good hypothesis for me.

People is among the top of all the emotions. I can't say whether this makes me feel good or bad.

Just shows us that we're very human-centric in the way we experience the world.  Nothing we didn't know over a hundred years ago =)

This brings me a strange sort of satisfaction and joy.

I can't believe "cyclists" is one of the top results for anger. Cause we make motorists suffer SO much

Do you have any idea how hard it is to clean one out the grille of a bright yellow hummer?

Cyclists may not refer to you. Do you use hand signals, stay in one lane, and keep a cool head? If yes, you are not a cyclist. Do you weave across lanes, pedal slowly (5 mph slow) and flip shit and assault cars at stop signs and red lights? If yes, you are a cyclist. My friend still has scuffs across the hood of his van where a cyclist lifted and threw his bike at it.

(Warning: Graphic image of a healed but acid deformed face) Ameneh Bahrami, the woman who was blinded with a cup full of acid by Majid Movahedi when she refused to marry him, halted his court-ordered blinding through chemical acid drops minutes before it was to be carried out.

Spoiler: My reaction. (Paraphrased) (click to show/hide)

I have no idea if I could be as merciful as Bahrami was in a situation like this, but damned if she isn't taking the high road here. There aren't many people who can rise above their sense of bloodlust, unfortunately.

Fuck yes.

Not looking right now, but fuck yes.

My respect for that woman has regenerated a lot (I was aghast when I learned she was flying back to Iran to carry out the punishment. I found it to be an endorsement of all things that are wrong in Iranian society and which led to her attack in the first place).
