Boys have penises, which means that they will grow up to fight in wars and produce goods/provide services which will be sold outside the home for money.

Girls have vaginae, which means that they will raise children and produce goods/provide services which will be consumed inside the home.

Thus, there is no point in trying to raise children in a gender neutral environment, because our essential nature is determined by gender! It's just nature, people!

is to see illegal immigrants euthanized (sp?) when they show up in emergency rooms.

Who the hell are these people?

why anyone would voluntarily live in that state.

I worked in a restaurant in a hotel. One night, a woman and a man were drinking and chatting it up in the hotel bar. She leaves to go to her room. The man doesn't get her room number, so he asks one of the waiters to get it for him. The waiter obliges! Surprise, surprise, the drunk man is not welcome when he knocks on the woman's door. (Luckily, the drunk man only woke her up, nothing more.)

And the waiter? Gets written up, but never understands why what he did was stupid and wrong.

Were you in charge of the "wow this looks cool!" part of the Antro/UO experience? Or the "holy Christ that's expensive!" part one gets after looking at an Antro/UO price tag?

Sorry, I kid, I kid.

The point is that real life terrorists find it extraordinarily difficult to obtain and use them, but find it very easy to make a conventional bomb and hide it along a road or in a truck at a market or in a backpack. Real life isn't an episode of "24". Real life terrorists attack with cheap weapons and little training. The most well-trained terrorists in real life have not high-jacked or built a nuclear missile. They learned how to fly a plane.

We have limited resources to fight terrorism, just like terrorists have limited resources to fight us. Therefore, even though the thought of detonating a nuke in D.C. might thrill A.Q. leadership, the fact is they are far more likely to attack with AK-47s and C4. Therefore, it makes sense to direct our limited resources to stopping the most likely attacks, not the most fantastical.

I don't like it either.

Too jumbled. The last redesign was really good. I got used quickly. This new redesign is unpleasing.

She said we "want" to fall for them, not that we do.

"But it does get old hearing this cohort of Ivy League toughs -- most of whom one suspects haven't had even a fistfight since third grade -- describe every U.S. foreign policy issue as a testosterone test."

I think you forget that Dick Cheney actually shot someone.

"I want you all to refuse to stand the next time you're in court too

Because fuck those fascists and let them throw you in jail."

Actually, you rarely stand when in court. Usually, if you are standing, that means you are speaking to the court or the jury has entered the courtroom. There are rules you follow to show respect for the court, the judge and the jury, including standing when asked -- but you follow those rules to show respect, not subservience.
