  • The same creeps in northern Wisconsin

    [Read the article: Luxury community of "conscience"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    There's a county in Wisconsin called Vilas County.

    When I was a little kid, we'd go walking in the woods and not see anything which didn't naturally belong thee for miles.

    There were lakes in which we'd be able to see down a good 15' or more to the bottom.

    One of these lkaes is called Little St Germain Lake.

    West Bay in this lake was like that.

    Now, because of the F.I.B.s with their speeding boats and the idiots with boards on thier feet, you can't even see 5' to the bottom.

    It used to be a great fishing lake.

    It is not now.

    The attitude of these invaders toward the local businesses is just as bad as their elitist, destructive attitude and actions against the land.

    I had a small business there.

    When you get finished with the job, they had the high and mighty attitude that we had our nerve expecting to be paid, especially as soon as a job was finished.

    They throw garbage all over and litter everything.

    I moved away and rarely go there anymore as, I can't stand the traffic and these arrogant F.I.B.s.

    And, this is just another in the long line of places these types have ruined.

  • I find it absolutely reprehensible that

    she did this with a bunch of marines.

    Of course, you need to look at the sort of low moral, easy piece she is.

    If she had any real class, she would have done it with a Navy man.

  • I can ONLY speak accurately for myself

    [Read the article: He's just not that into (sex with) you]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I'm 69.(Yes, I do;).

    I'm happily single.

    I'm a successful man and am active in many ways.

    When I was younger, I used to "pursue".

    As I've gotten older, I have found myself increasingly discriminating in my tastes concerning women.

    I have no interest in a woman who has the negative attitudes towards men that are so commonly expressed here.

    Almost all the letters by women to be read here are negative toward men.

    The strong undertone is that we men have either no right or are mysongists if we express any sort of preferences.

    I'm sure as hell not perfect in any way however, I have more than enough self respect to not tolerate these attitudes.

  • 25+ yers ago when I used to drink

    [Read the article: I hit my sister in the head with my purse when I drink]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I called a woman a two bit whore.

    She hit me in the head with a purse full of quarters.

  • Bleeding heart soccer mother pussies

    [Read the article: Mariner defends his airspace]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I miss the good old days of MEN like Don Drysdale.

    The game has been ruined by the types in my header.

    I went to a lot of games in the 40's, 50's & 60's when pitchers were allowed to legitimately back a hitter away.

    Now they have this idiotic "warning' of both benches.

    My good old America has become a world of simpleton weenies.

  • The crux of all this is NOT your bi-ness

    [Read the article: I'm a bisexual Christian husband and father]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    If you are going to be deceitful, dishonest and duplicitous about it, including dissing other LGBTs, then you are qualified to be a gop fundie clergy.

    If you are going to be genuine about all opf it, then you don't need to succumb to judgementalism from those who hide their own self boubts about their sexuality by judging others'.

    If your letter is legitimate, then you only need to search yourself and understand your own feelings.

    You also need to allow your wife to work this all out for herself in her own way.

    Being LGBT does NOT make you a "bad" or lesser person than "straight" people.

    If you are a good person who treats others with respect and genuineness, that is what makes you a good person.

  • I'm a sexually healthy guy

    [Read the article: Should this dress be illegal?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I enjoy seeing a good looking female.

    What I do NOT enjoy is a female who has so little self confidence that she has to "DEMAND" attention.

    It's really a shame that a pretty girl like the one in the story has to do this.

    She would have gotten more attention had she shown up in a sexy and understated great prom dress.

    I would NEVER wanted to be with her on that night and, it is ONLY because of what I said above.

    Unfortunately, it is not only the young people who are like this.

  • Not giving a damn what you think is funny

    and deciding for myself, makes things so good for me.

    If I, not you, react to somethng, it's my decision.

    In addition, I have no neurotic need to analyze the quality of the actor's performance and use it as a means to whether or not I think a bit is humorous.

    What a shitload of non-acceptance you people exhibit.

  • For all of you who support this invasion

    [Read the article: Has our reverence for DNA gone too far?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    all you have to do is google FRED ZANE.

    Of course, those of you who are so seriously ignorant and foolhardy as to trust the various government agencies are as the anti's who are anti everyone else's freedoms and property till it is an anti's freedom or property which is in jeopardy.

    For someone to actually trust that ANY government agency respects your best interests, legal or otherwise, is a simpleton.

    Go ahead and read about FRED ZANE just for starters.

    There are so many many ways that LE manipulates any sort of evidence that the fallacy of 'innocent till~~" is just that, a fallacy.

    The answer to what you have to fear if you're innocent is any government agency, especially LE.

    If you are not convicted of a crime, by law you are innocent ad, you must be left alone.

    Every person is a "potential" criminal and, that is what this is all about~~labelling all of us as "potential criminals".

    Anyone who supports this evil is either a damn fool or one of those who are in a position to misuse their power.
