I know I shouldn't but...

Brightstar65

You're saying

rob a bank, shoot a dog, or drive dad's vehicle off a cliff = wear a tank top.

Wow. The lack of thought that went into that statement of yours is just astounding. Not only shouldn't you ever have children, you really shouldn't leave your home or interact with other people. Ever. If you can't tell the difference between shooting a dog and wearing a tank top, you are seriously deranged.

On the other hand, some psychiatrists think psychopathy is a treatable mental disease. I hope they have some luck with you.

Aw, isn't that cute. An anonymous troll on the comics page.

criminalize talking on the phone while you drive

We'd like you to keep your eyes open too. This is a safety issue and as long as you get a hands-free connection, there's no problem. It is similar to criminalizing drunk driving, people don't drive as well while holding a cell phone to their ear and talking.

who rabidly support unlimited police powers

Sure they do. Lets make up some other silly examples that have no connection with reality. It is fun! Like the conservatives I know who all want to eat the livers of third world babies like fois gras.

This article wasn't about impeachment, it was about a 32 year old book that may or may not have relevance to the current run by Mr. Thompson for President.

And the book in question was about?

Drum roll please

Thompson's role in impeachment proceedings!

Don't they teach reading comprehension any more?

Shouting at more than one person, in public Is a felony terrorist charge, where I live

Sure it is. And speaking disrespectfully to your mommy is a life sentence, isn't it?

Where do you live, Imaginationland?

Why don't the fascists here outlaw speaking while driving?

See, you just can't keep things straight, can you? You started complaining about Liberals and now you're talking about fascists. The fascists are the conservatives and they're also the ones most frequently screaming "won't someone think of the children". Liberals fight for your freedoms, conservatives fight for themselves. Of course, usually conservatives try to get someone else to do the fighting for them, usually by lying to them.

How about

Dems: End the Mourning in America.

GOP: 'cause you're just that stupid.

So your response is to tell me you were exaggerating, and then to tell me you have very poor impulse control? Again, you seem to need psychiatric help.

And for the record, your little idiotic examples of what boys can't do also applies to girls, so there's another flaw in your "contrast".

None of the men I know have to control themselves around attractive women, no matter how they're dressed. They have good impulse control, you see. They understand that women are people too and they understand how men behave as opposed to how animals behave. You apparently consider men to be barely removed from animals and that they have to control mating instincts.

Have you ever been a man?

I'm fairly sure you haven't.

Anonymous with a list

Your list of "Official Salon positions" is pretty funny and equally divorced from reality. Some are true, like A) Sex is Good. Others aure utterly false, like E) Girls bare no responsibility for their pregnancies.

Reading Comprehension seems very low among trolls. You read a sentence like "men bear some responsibility for pregnancies" and come away with your E). You're simply making things up. Why? Defensive perhaps? Done bad things in your past that you're running from and now see accusation around every corner?

The difference between you and me (one of likely many) is that I have no idea if any of that is true and I don't pretend to. Were you speaking about me, you'd have presented it as fact and screamed when someone contradicted you.

Like I said

Anonymous, you just make crap up and pretend other people said it. Are you a recently out-of-work Republican operative?

Wow

You can love a Republican because family love is an unbreakable connection.

Wishful thinking supposed by American myths? Or just plain foolishness? Either way you're pretty damn wrong. Are you advocating abusive relationships? "I know he beats me, but he's my dad!", "Sure, she took all my money, but I love my sister so". It isn't unbreakable, it shouldn't be unbreakable. There are time you need to just walk away, everyone involved will be happier and healthier.

And your little "pretend to be them" exercise seems designed to make the letter writer either pity his parents or dislike them more.

Idiocy

What truly cracks me up about these things is the whole

I left a career to be a stay at home mom! For some reason, my career as a writer doesn't count, despite the book tours and the nanny I'm still a stay at home mom with no career!

Bizarre

I flew to Japan on the 26th of last month on JAL and was astonished to see Japanese coverage of the airplane fire on the main screen of the economy-class cabin! I thought that airlines tended to scrub any airplane disaster news from in-flight television, but it showed on this flight for at least 10 minutes. It didn't bother me, but I'm sure there were some people on the flight that were very upset by this. When it showed, we still had a good 10 hours in the air left. Fortunately, it was a non-stop from JFK to Narita, so no-one had to make the choice of boarding a connecting flight after watching that, but then there probably were some people continuing from Narita. I wonder if anyone changed their plans.
