Actually, if you check my friends list, junsui_sougen is epileptic. She has mostly absente seizures, although I'm told that while under the care of an especially fucknut doctor doing "seizure testing" in the hospital once she had a grand mal seizure. As soon as she could walk, talk, think and sign medical papers, she packed up and LEFT.
I guess by absente/i> you mean what my doctor called petit mal? Where the higher brain functions just seem to shut down and the person goes vacant? Most of my seizures have been of that type. I've only had one grand mal, when I was 2 years old.
I'm more-or-less used to US-centric quizs. It's not a matter of being offended, just confused. Every time someone from outside the US does such a quiz, we have to figure out what to do with it.
What really worries me is how many of my Canadian friends checked the box "Prostitution should be legalized" without adding a comment. Maybe, like me, they were concerned about bawdy house laws, or they were re-interpreting it as "Prostitution should be legalized in the US" or "Prostitution should remain legal."
But given my fellow Canadians' track record for distinguishing between US law/history and our own, I worry a little. Simple prostitution is legal in Canada, so long as both partners are 18 or older, and it doesn't happen in the prostitute's home.
