Your "love our violence" comment made me think of a news report I saw on controversial artwork: one photo was of a cadaver's head split down the middle to show both the inside brains/bones but also the man's face was visible. It was highly disturbing. The next artwork the program showed was a small wooden crucifix…

See - you just solved it there. All we need to do is get hardcore Republicans in there, fighting for the right of the fetus to sit down...

hmph, like a BITCH MOVE could ever be anything less than an AWESOME MOVE.

"Thanks, hon, I was just about to say that myself."

People I know >>>>>> people I'd don't know, but who I'd like to fuck >>>>> clothed apes. Is that what you meant?

"Political correctness". "Entitle[ment]". "Elitists". Meaning, we're a bunch of hang-wringing, bleeding-heart liberals for espousing empathy, if we don't follow the idea to its extreme? *Tap*tap, I think the dragon you're actually wanting is over there, Mr. Knight.

Just curious (as someone with bad knees, too), why you did not feel comfortable saying, "Sorry, I have bad knees"?

"a very large Amish colony" is almost perfect! I only visited once, but even their satanists (with their bulldogs named Balrog wearing a spiked collar) are delightful. I had a teenage boy ask a friend and I if we needed directions when we were looking around for the bathroom at a park. And he was serious, not…

Hmmm, I wonder (and I have my opinion, but I could be wrong) which would be more conducive to lasting behavior change in the person [i.e., in the future the person is more considerate] - the "flies with honey" or shaming strategy?

Wow, I'm s/m-ad that happened to you! I hold the door for everyone, but I actually got in a standoff with a Southern man when I got there first and he refused to go in! After about 5 "no, YOU go!" statements, I just turned and walked away. Idiot.

Hmmm, if men could get preggers and waddle around on sore feet with a bowling ball sitting on their bladders, I wonder if that would change things...

I think you have something there, although lots of people of whatever gender are totally oblivious to everyone around them. Of course, living in a resort town inundated with tourists who have no idea where they're going and who make gawking a vacation pastime, my sample is skewed...

I have gotten into a door-holding standoff with a man who, when I held it for him since I got there first, would NOT go through the door before me, a woman. I ended up just walking away because screw that idiotic patriarchal Southern USA Chivalry bullshit.

Not only downtrodden but downright OPPRESSED - that's what I hear in a certain type of man's statement on feminist issues. A lot of self-righteousness and an inability (or stubborn reluctance, perhaps) to see things in more than B&W. This need not be a zero-sum game; it's called co-operation.

"Oh, look, a vagina!...Give the girl your seat!" Everyone knows vaginas are actually magnetic and that there are in each and every bus seat embedded magnets, so this makes sense.

Oh, anatomy-pun well played, Yoana! I picture a big looming (perhaps pimply) ass backing up into a disgust-wrinkled, indignant (yet lovely) face...

Wait, wait, my popcorn's not ready - I wanna sit back and watch this culture cockfight in style!

Not grammarquibbling, I just loved your freudianish slip "man years"!

And just because they are so that awesome, another pic!

Iranian women ninjas!
