Actually, I support this. If the fetus can procure itself a gun, load it, and shoot, then why shouldn't it be allowed to defend itself? Too bad if it did manage to defend itself it would die anyway. Guess it really isn't a person after all.

Oh man. Are you full of it or what? And you know what? Clearly her website isn't for laypeople. If you don't understand the 'about' page you aren't going to understand anything else on her site. Especially if you are going to assume her words are gibberish rather than using google.

It was more than that. You showed a clear disdain for the authors of the site and their field of study. 'wtf does that even mean' isn't a neutral question- or was it a statement? You didn't use a question mark, after all. Seems to me you didn't understand something and you made no effort to before deriding and…

I didn't get down on you for being stupid or otherwise unknowledgeable. I got down on you for being judgmental. For assuming you knew better than an expert in a field you were unfamiliar with. In short, you assumed they were dumb rather than assuming they knew something you didn't. You also exhibited a hostility…

Parodying? You are much more generous to the author than I was.

Thanks for that. It's sad that people assume something is gibberish just because it's outside of their field of knowledge.

I'm just saying you sound an awful lot like those people who hate liberal elitists. And since you're on this particular website I'm guessing you actually are a liberal elitist. So there's some cognitive dissonance.

Maybe it's time to look up a Sociology 101 class at your local community education center.

Have you read the site? If not, than aren't you exhibiting some creative prejudice yourself?

Well, aside from the "sociological imagination" part I think it makes perfect sense. "Compelling and timely imagery" holds no meaning for you?

I dunno, it makes sense that some imagination would be required in trying to understand why people do the things they do.

What does what mean? Sociological? It's the study of human society. Granted, I don't find it to be the most well written 'about' page, but it's pretty self explanatory.

This is reposted from a blog called 'Sociological Images.' Get it?

I've been wondering about this- seeing all the videos of the crash and pictures of the aftermath it's really hard to fathom how it's possible there were so few fatalities. Thanks for covering this angle! Let's all remember to be as kind as possible to our flight attendants in the future.

My thoughts exactly. Especially as more and more people seem to be thinking like this lady.

I saw that the other day and thought it was really good too. I don't mind his use of the word "victim" because in a sense he's right. In the late 70s the government went through a big debate about fat vs carbs and what kind of diet should be recommended to the American public. Carbs won. Coincidentally obesity has…

This is my response to JoeBuckMulligan which he dismissed because evidently he is holding some bizarre grudge over comments made months ago and wants to rewrite history:

Perhaps you should have been more specific, as the question you asked was addressed in the article very plainly.

Wow! What an incredible revision of events! You must be a fiction writer. I asked *only* for a warning about the graphic images of people with limbs blown off. That's it. The events had *just happened* and news was scarce. Must to it's credit Deapspin was quicker on the story than many other news sites. And they…
