[B]kingbee, im curious to know if youve ever called or referred to someone as a "bitch," or worse yet, a "cunt." Be honest. And do these terms then imply that a woman is "less than human?"[/B] i havent used that word to describe female humans in general or a specific female in over 30 years. it may actually be longer but im positive i havent since march 1974 (which is a milestone for me because thats when i moved permanently to southern california) i cant recall using before then but im gu

thanks mig. it kills me to think the internet--a venue in which color or ethinicity is even more totally irrelevant than the real world--can be so easily and mindlessly despoiled.

[B]Cheney and Ashcroft are the two best reasons for dumping Bush. I can't, in good conscience, vote for Bush with them around. I believe them both to have a serious disregard for the American people and the Constitution[/B] i was initially more focused on ashcroft when he was first appointed ag; what attracted my attention to cheney was his appearance on meet the press shortly after 9/11. between the two of em its a wonder we havent all been sold, jailed or both.

[B]You have no right to say that I hurt more or less than anyone else, and honestly you didn't need to[/B] i dont believe i said that. i have no reason to cause you or anyone else pain . my point is simply this: as painful as the most inappropriate, cruel or unfair characterizations may be, they still fall far short of the damage done by racial slurs which exist only to express one message: the target is less than human because of his racial/ethnic ancestory.

im not planning on blacklisting or deleting your posts either. i spent most of sunday morning discussing your previous article with you (im not sure you caught my last comment there actually) and i did read your post.

this is an article i never imagined id find myself writing in 2004. during the nearly 2 months ive been here, ive seen a number of variations on the following theme: . 'conservatives are are more responsible, less vile, more pragmatic and realistic and willing to deal with the repercussions of their beliefs' . it could as easily been a liberal claim. thats not the issue over the past 2 days, ive seen several posts about namecalling in which admi

i think this one requires a preface, so please bear with me a moment. contrary to what some of you may believe--or want to believe--i don't hate george bush. hate is an emotion that should be reserved or restricted to people with whom one has a personal connection, and there are only three people who've come close to provoking hatred from me during my adult life. i don't even truly dislike him. i didn't think he was a very competent governor and i'm even less impressed by his performance

Find out where the clitoris is actually i think the first step should be finding out WHAT it is seriously, it dont require any special exploration equipment.

the things i always find most frustrating about this type of situation--or more precisely the people responsible for it--is knowing there are so many people who dream (often in vain) of having a situation like the one these two are so blithely discarding even as i find myself feeling sorry theyre so flawed.

paine has always been one of my favorite revolutionary radicals. "rights of man" nearly led to his execution in england because of its support of the french revolution. so he went to france and nearly was guillotined for trying to get the revolutionists there to spare the king's life. whatta guy!

actually im surprised that at least a few kids havent been seriously hurt attempting to emulate steve irwin or the other guys who make it appear so easy to pick up venomous snakes by their tails or "reaching into bushes or crevices" blindly to grab an escaping serpent. those videos are edited of course. there are--in the us anyway--a fair number of non-venomous snakes that mimic the poisonous species. you dont get a lotta chances to rectify a mistake
