Nah, you're still a bigot, because you are ascribing a set of negative traits to a group and then applying that set of traits to anyone within the group regardless of what they are as an individual. One "us v. them" subset is as bad as any other. Nonetheless, I suggest that if you mentally change the nouns in the next such article you read, it will hardly sound as benign. But then, you're the one defending calling an entire
I think it is an extra punishment not legislated, and handed down by the police, and therefore inappropriate. The police don't punish people. It isn't in their contitutional mandate. It does smack of judge, jury, and executioner. A town in CA is putting up billboards of johns' mugshot
This site is rife with comments and articles proclaiming "Conservatives are XXXXX!" and "Liberals are XXXXX!" while hurling out every invective and pejorative the thesaurus can supply. I can't help but wonder, though, if you replaced "Conservatives" with "Whites" and "Liberals" with "Blacks" (or vice versa, though that division seems to work for Howard Dean)
Why not? The supreme court just burned the Constitution.
I thought Conservatives were supposed to be in the pocket of corporate America. Or is it just that promoting "Big Government" trumps "protecting the rights of the little guy"? What is wrong with people who don't check the top 10 recent articles? I've always thought this attitude was
God loves a CHEERFUL giver, not a harassed one. Sheesh, it's all over the Old and New Testament. Y'all need a new priest.
Thanks so much for your help Gene! It is really, really appreciated! Anytime.
I'm toying with an e-book called "How To Write And Publish Your Own eBook In As Little As 7 Days" by Joe Vitale and Jim Edwards. (If you need me to explain to you what the book is about, go find another blog to read.) Aside from a lot of fluff to fill out the book and convince non-writers "Yes, you can really do this," the system comes down to:

You are a better man than I Senator McCain You're being too generous. McCain, he neither expressed regret for his words (though he may regret the heat he is taking) nor showed any courage. (And stuff like this is why I voted against you. <img src="../images/smiles/grim.gif" border=0 ALIGN="abs
Yeah, I saw this on the news yesterday. Prototypical NON apology. It's right up there with, "I'm sorry IF YOU were offended." Meaningless.
I don't have any funny misheard lyrics. (I mishear lyrics, just not inadvertently comically.) I do usually prefer my versions, though.
If you're old enough, you may remember Gilda Radner 's Saturday Night Live character Emily Litella. Emily would regularly appear on the news segment to rebut something she had hea
LOVE IS IN THE AIR Love is in the air Everywhere I look around Love is in the air Every sight and every sound And I don't know if I'm being foolish Don't know if I'm being wise But it's something that I must believe in And it's there when I look in your eyes Love is in the air In the whisper of the trees Love is in the air In the thunder of the sea And I don't know if I

I don't think I've frequented an ice cream truck since the 70's. I can't help but wonder, though, if this couldn't be applied to virtually any job? If one looked hard enough, couldn't an occupation be picked and enough miscreants be found plying that trade to produce a similar article? BTW, if you freeze the fetus and blend it, do you think it would look like a snow cone or an Italian ice, maybe? Aside from the questionable taste

No, because it will just encourage the perpetuation of outrageously large settlements, and probably make them even bigger. "Well, it is for charity...." Blech. Further, who would decide which charity is worthy? People will start complaining about it being "government giving preferential treatment to one charity over another." Splitting it between several charities would leave some out, and make the percentage go

I guess that all depends on whether you consider "loose" an insult or not! ;~D Just because they are not stuck up and repressed like Conservative women is no reason to get personal. Conservatives don't have an exclusive on mo
Hmm, I don't think too many people would consider Tom Cruise washed up. (Just don't ask Brooke Shields.) Katie's doing better than most TV actors after the only show they are known for goes away. At least she's regularly working -- in movies, yet. Anyone heard from Dawson lately? It is a truism, though, that a relationship between 2 celebrities will garner exponentially mo
I heard a horrible slur on Liberal women yesterday, and I just can't believe it. I overheard two uncouth "gentlemen" (and I use the term very lightly) exchanging advice on "screwing" and one said to the other, "Just remember the old saying: Righty tighty, Lefty loosey." OMG! I don't know where they heard this "old saying," but it is pa
Perhaps "Bitchin"? I have a bad feeling a lot of our more clueless members would see that as a "personal attack." "Someone rated me 'Bitchin' and don't deserve that you #$%#^!" <img src="../images/smiles/joke.gif" border=0 ALIGN="a

I also found this program: Pod Producer. I don't know if it will do what you want, but it looks interesting enough to experiment with. One of the screenshot captions says, "Here you select the input source (Stereo Out, What you hear, Stereo Mix) and ... MP3 mono or stereo and bitrate." I'm wondering if the "What you hear" setting would be what you need? (Sorry I can
