    [Read the article: What teen girls are made of]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    What bullshit posts.

    This inculdes the author's favorite post, you know, the one by the professional moralist.

    It is soooo obvious that the majority of those who posted about this topic have no damn comprehension that these girls are human beings with intelligence, feelings, fears, hopes, disappointmnets and, perhaps even more than the moralizing posters possess within theirselves.

    I felt compassion for these human beings.

    I'm ok with myself so, I didn't need to join in with the judgementalism.

    Who the hell made parents automatically superior to people like these girls??

    Oh yeah, theese parents were the "deciders" who decided that they were superior.

    I'm 68 and can remember some of the he,morrhoids who populated my kidhood.

    Two of them were my parents, others were aunts/uncles/neighbors.

    They didn't possess the mental faculties to understand that I was a human being with all the dsame qualities as the girls in the story.

    Adults suck big time.

    Here's how the prick who was my father played "adult":

    He'd drool saliva and clench his teeth as he whipped me with his favorite narrow hard leather belt.

    It would leave welts on the backs of my thighs.

    He'd order me to not cry.

    One day, I looked him right in the eyes and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

    He tried harder.

    He treated my mother like the hausfrau she actually was.

    Thanks to these two, I grew up hating/resenting authority and looking down on women.

    I remember one time saying to my mother, "Where were you when your little boy needed you to stop the beatings?"

    She told me she didn't want to talk about it & had no clue why I NEEDED to.

    To those of you who are the self important assholes who think that you are superior merely because you are "adults", you are neither.

    These girls are human beings.

    Can you grap that??

    They are HUMAN BEINGS.

    They wonder about all the things that you seem incapable of understanding.

    Fuck this "grinding' stuff.

    They ARE NOT whores because they dance like that.

    Obviously these stories really got my attention and, some of the ignorant "superior' posts by some hemorrhoids here REALLY pissed me off.

    Those who are so clearly incapable of understanding others have no right to proselytize.

    Or should that be, "prostitute themselves".

    I don't this that one would understand it is being insulted.

    It's pretty clear that it blames MEN for all of its failed relationships.

    Ir is just as clear that it has no understanding of men whatsoever.

    It's one of those "all men" types.

    Does little Atrie REALLY expect us to believe that his real name is "blessitt"??

    Aww, c'mon. It's really starting to stink in here.

    This bitch and her fellow chickenshit are among the world's worst ANTI-AMERICAN TRAITORS of this and the previous century.

    She is a hateful bitch and schumer has an empty scrotun.

    I don't think even the above expresses my disgust at these scumbags.

  • Why are these cars

    ALL so ugly?

    Do they not realize that, if they made them more pleasing to the eye that others besides the goodytwoshoes types would be interested?

    I'm all for helping the environment however, I'd rather be with an attractive woman who passes a little gas than a hag who doesn't.

  • OK, let us READ the letter from the LW annnnnnnd

    [Read the article: My boss forwards fluffy kitten e-mails!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    see if anoyone can find the following in the letter:

    "If your boss can't recognize a bogus chain letter, or even thinks it's OK to give the impression that

    >>>>>>>>>>>>he<<<<<<<<<<<

    can't recognize a bogus chain letter, you are not in good hands."

    Why does scary cary sneak that "he" in there?

    Is it a surreptitious sexist remark of self hate??

    I have to question whether a "he" would send out things with a "fluffy cat" at the end.

    Of course, there may be that rare sort who does however, those who can see between the lines are not fooled here.

    As to the LW's problem, it seems that it would be constructive to reply to her boss with links to snopes which address each of the hoaxes.

    In addition, a line ot two of how these things make someone look to others MAY make the boss notice the ignorance of sending these things, even if it is a "he".

  • Density

    [Read the article: New New Mexico?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Anonymous said:

    "It's 45th in population density

    losing out to the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming and Alaska."

    There is a difference between population density and the density of the population.

    The population density in N Mex is extremely low while the denseness of the population in red states is extremely high.

  • TO: bebop

    [Read the article: For the birds?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I'd like to comment about two things.

    One is that I'm a lover of bebop and have many many vinyls, cassettes and CDs of jazz.

    The other is about the chicks.

    This was me on the March 1941 cover of a mag called, "American Poultry Journal.

  • I forgot to say

    [Read the article: For the birds?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I used to feed birds in winter when I lived in the northwoods of WI.

    I always enjoyed the many species which came to dine in my back yeard.

    My favorite time of year is spring.

    I spemd a lot of time on the golf course and also fishing.

    It's quiet in both places and I totally enjoy being serenaded by the various songs.

    I live in north central EI and I have found that the cardinals aren't nearly as populous as they were.

    I found out it is due to there being more lutherans than catholics here and all the law suits against priest.

    I gues the cardinals are in hiding.

  • Many times

    [Read the article: Should I take my husband's name?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Taking his name is only the first in a long list of things taken such as:

    his earnings

    his right to his children

    his future

    his sex life

    his trust in human decency

    his happiness

    his buddies and other friends

    ad infinitum.

    Unlike the hysterical "all men are" types, I WILL state that the above theivery is not always the case and, some of these things are done to the woman as well.

    I've experienced some of the things which I listed and will NEVER EVER make this mistake again.
