Obviously enough men and women cared about equality in this club to put it to the vote. It is incredibly condescending to say they are "shoehorning" by merely asking the club to be open to women. You obviously see no connection to wider issues of equality in their decision-different strokes, indeed.

THANK YOU. SO EXHAUSTED OF "They have a right!" "I have a right!" when it offers NOTHING to the discussion and nobody has even been disputing anybodies damn RIGHTS. I have a damn right to disagree with something and think it's ridiculous.

Well, great. I do. And I don't think it is "shoehorning" (By the way, GREAT condescending language!) to ask for equality, but clearly we disagree on that point.

I agree. They are probably not weird, and hopefully they will, like other out-moded thoughts and philosophies, die out with that generation.

I never actually said they did not have the right to their stupid decision. I merely said it was a shameful and dumb one.

I just truly don't understand how any man- in this day and age- could take that position and not be ashamed of themselves. I hope they all have daughters who grow up to tell them what asshats they are.

This REALLY is a big issue. In LA they are trying to pass through a proposal to make it unlawful to feed the homeless basically anywhere in public. A great site for anyone interested in how this is playing out in every community is....

Well, yellow cake is what we called it growing up? Maybe it's a southern thing?

No, I believe we decided that Madeira cake was similar to what I call pound cake. (Which of course, he had never heard of....) It was such a "Who's on first?" conversation that I can't even remember how we resolved it! I am going to ask him and check back!

This sounds almost exactly like my Irish hubby and I trying to plan a wedding cake. Him:Do you like Madeira cake? Me: What the hell is Madeira cake? You mean, like Yellow cake? Him:What the hell is yellow cake? And on and on and on. It was hysterical and I have never googled so many recipes in my life.

Ever since my husband moved his cat in, I drink out of a camping water bottle. The only way I can insure it has not been CATFACED.

Are girls invited to your revolution, Russell?

But then boys might complain. ESPECIALLY rich white boys. And many colleges seem to prefer handling rape than handling disgruntled men who whine about enthusiastic consent. (Because those poor boys probably because they have no idea what that looks like!)

Exactly. And I live in LA. Lots of pretty people here. But the pretty wears off when they are shallow, or treat the waiter poorly, or otherwise act like a jerk. As you said, the pretty might get you the date, but it's the values and personality and kindness that make you a keeper.

Exactly. I met people I thought were handsome and nice, but I jsut could not dig weird things like the way they smell. Smell is essential.

I met my husband on okc, OF COURSE I thought he was cute, but it was his soup making abilities that got me in the sack!

I am begging for a Christmas EXCUSE permit. I will push it back to it's original border when I don't have to send presents over the damn seas. I HAVE to shop early because otherwise there would be no holiday for Mr.damn kinjas family!

I am so sorry it was not clear! I meant here! There are some sorry ass comments to this story right here.

Good lord, I expected some of these comments to be disappointing, but there are a whole series here that are just sad.

Don't even get me started on how many times I have tried to get rid of my bloody myspace. Even when you ask, beg, cajole, and complain, it never ever gets taken down.
