Addendum—boy, am I a knucklehead. The Dragon does have a cluster of four studs at the middle of its back, exactly positioned for a minifig to sit upon it. While penning my dazzlingly eloquent review, I had the wings swept back in such a way that the (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

|

This is from the Dragons: Metal Ages series, continuing the line of “Dragon Eggs” that we’ve seen before (but now better, IMO). In brief, each set is a large egg containing a single dragon figurine in ten pieces. I haven’t previously been thrilled (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) I know almost nothing about Rose Art, except for what I've seen of the Magnetix toys on stores' shelves.

(...) That's legitimate, IMO. Heck, if the sentence included some kind of "you may not withhold this information from prospective employers," then there's no problem with due process, either.

(...) Agree with the above, and further I don't support name-and-shame as a punishment mechanism unless it's imposed at the time of sentencing, but I do support the notion of being able to inquire "is this potential employee already convicted of (...)

As it turns out maybe I'm biased, we had a recent situation where having the convictions published was a good thing as it got someone outed that really didn't need to be around (...)

In this article: (URL) is proposed that the government keep and publish a list of all accusations of child molestation.
