well, your reaction to my snark says more about you than my snark ever could. And your reaction to that reaction would say even more. As would my reaction to the reaction to that reaction.

if human beings are intent on playing the "not good enough" game, there's plenty of misery to go around for both sides.

As for "Real Dolls"...when a truly accurate synthetic woman is finally created, you can bet that some women are going to be "Real Upset".

the show mirrors its viewers.

is the day there will be equality between the sexes.

Laura is trying to pick up the pieces of her life after the murder of her husband and son, and goes on vacation with her sister to Burma. After losing her passport at a political rally, she is left on her own for a few days, during which time she falls in with students fighting for democracy. She and their leader, U Aung Ko, travel through Burma, whilst witnessing many bloody acts of repression by the dictatorship, in an attempt to escape to Thailand. Based on a true story.

the Love Boat...now that was a good show.

I'm sure you'll be back under some wacky new name.

ReaderReader has completely lost his mind.

as far as I can tell, she pursues her spiritual quest all the time.

however it also has blue cheese on it

what a circus

Just make up some stuff.

You seem to have that covered, around here anyway.

Today on cnn.com there was a story about a dude who threw his girlfriend's baby out of the car on the freeway - to its death. That's bad parenting.

This kind of parenting is just a baby chewing on a low-voltage power cord. It looks edgy, but the risk just isn't there.

Inappropriate Behavior That White People Like - now at a B. Dalton near you.

anything that's at least half-time...if you get fired then look for another one.

not

you seem to be wound a little tight for the letters section...try a padded cell somplace instead.

quite

Compassus was impressed by it.

I knew they were hinting at something.

it doesn't really matter...there's no shortage of people in the world.

but it's interesting that groups like Code Pink and Act Up are always portrayed here as edgy and daring, while fringe religious groups are always seen as twisted losers.

no investigation, no inquest, no hearings of any kind, let alone no trial

Is this the case with the Israeli criminal justice system in general?

I remember after the OJ trial, people were decrying the state of American justice. But I don't think that one case should be used to indict an entire system.

unlike Durian Joe I love the meat.

The actions of one heavy equipment operator - even if completely intentional - don't really represent the moral framework or democratic aspirations of the State of Israel.

This new Salon column features endless arguments about Israel twenty-four hours a day. Come and hang out with Jews, Gentiles and Arabs in a sophisticated, non-supportive environment.

The Jew and You - only at Salon

don't we owe it to ourselves?

when you need him

but you knew that.

but that's only four words.

In college I went door-to-door for a political group. One day they took me to their secret clubhouse in the inner city...and they said, "you know, we're COMMUNISTS!"

That was too radical for a suburbanite like me.

so in that sense this person was amazing.

talk about shutzpah!

what if...we could only save 15 million people by NOT torturing someone. What I mean is...what if? Could we do it? Could we NOT torture? To save 15 million?

I'm thinking we would just go ahead and torture anyway.

the wandering jew.

Unfortunately, I'm 48.

that's a puzzler.

however this fool appears unstoppable.

once upon a time it meant that the online conversation was over...now it means it's just getting started.

the discourse here is frequently fool-driven. And who argues with a fool...?

Looks like the trannies have arrived.

however, from the article it's not clear that the power elite actually is outraged.

Well, it at least proves the hypocrisy of the MSM...if you get all your information from YouTube, anyway.

Normally I don't really agree with you too much, except that I more or less support Israel (at least when they're not killing civilians).

But this AIPAC thing is pretty much a dog bites man story. Wow, powerful lobbyist uses all the tricks. You could've knocked me over with a feather. Crazy Zionists!

oh wait I forgot where I was.

After several pages, I don't see anything that says the risk is zero.

So we're basically talking about the opinion of a second-generation pilot...sort of like Cliff Claven on steroids.

If one googles "box cutter 9/11", one immediately gets an article from Slate magazine saying that we don't really know if box cutters were actually used!

Yes, google is a great source of information.

Did you learn to fly using Google?

that the bad actions of one party are not excused by the bad actions of another.

Or to put it another way...what organization does not seek to frame itself in a way it perceives as advantageous?

Does a powerful law firm, going into a case against an adversary, just say, "you know, we're really big and powerful and we represent people with ethical issues and we don't really need to win and we really shouldn't win, so why don't you just take it"...?

No I don't think so.
