  • "How exactly do they RELIEVE suffering?"

    [Read the article: Remember the Alamo-dildo!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I'm going to guess...via genital stimulation that leads to orgasm?

    Have you ever had one of those? They're pretty good for relieving any suffering.

  • So this is where we've gone.

    [Read the article: "You don't care what the American people think?"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    From "government of the people, by the people, for the people"

    to

    "fluctuations in the public opinion polls."

    So the will of the people is just a poll that can be disregarded.

    Considering these people think they only have to govern for the people who voted for them (as stated by John Bolton), this is no surprise to anyone. But it is sad to see how much damage these bastards have done to our democracy and the country we love.

    I sometimes wish we were in a 'third world' country, since we would have long ago risen up and overthrown this illegitimate regime. But we apparently don't treasure our liberty as much as others thirst for the same.

    I used to be disgusted by how Che Guevara lined people up against the wall; by how many were guillotined in the French Revolution...but now I have a glimmer of understanding at how someone can be so fed up with injustice that they might go a bit overboard when the Revolution comes.

    Thank God that we will be voting in November for Change and a New Way.

  • Because Apple fans are members of a cult?

    [Read the article: Why Apple fans hate tech reporters]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    That's why they react like Scientologists when their beliefs in the superiority of Apple products are questioned.

    Note the title of the article: "Apple fans."

    I'm not a "fan" of the products I use. I'm not a "fan" of Acer (laptop), or Microsoft (Windows XP). They're simply the tools I use.

    I'm a fan of certain teams...but that's not the same thing. And being a fan is certainly not rational.

    Thus the writer outs himself and his fellow Appleites as cultists.

    "Fan" comes from the word "Fanatic," after all.

  • Lighten up, people!

    [Read the article: The best-laid plans]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    You bitch and criticize about this article yet apparently your life is so empty you can not only 'waste' your time reading an article you hate, but you post a detailed bitchfest about the article.

    Sad, sad little people.

    I thought it was quite a good article. Partly because the first thing I thought (as a 34-year-old man who's never had a one-night stand) was: "She's cute. How hard could it be to have a one-night stand? All she'd have to do is ask me."

    I did think it was funny that she intends to have sex with a guy she just met after deciding that he wasn't a 'rapist.' If you're willing to have sex with him, it's impossible for him to be one!

    Sloane, keep writing whatever you feel and don't let these bitter people (rejected writers?) get you down.

  • Why liberals get the 'humorless' label.

    [Read the article: Finale wrap-up: "Survivor: Micronesia"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Imagine how things might be different if enough Americans paid as close attention to the shenanigans of the Bush administration over the last seven years as they have to nonsense like Survivor.

    -- ikuiku

    Hey, you're right! We should be out there, making a difference RIGHT NOW! But then we'd be wondering "Where's ikuiku?"

    But you're online typing a comment about a show you allegedly don't care about. Guess the revolution would have come if you had just gone out there instead of making your 'point.'

    You must be a ton of fun:

    Someone: "Let's go to the movies!"

    You: "How can we do that when Bush is destroying the country?"

    Someone: "Let's make love!"

    You: "How will that help get the neocons out of power? Where are your priorities?!"

    I wonder why people see us liberals as humorless losers. Then I see posts like that one and say "Oh, right."

    Thanks for screwing it up for the rest of us.
