Absolutely terrified by what's happening...
[Read the article: Have we fallen behind our parents?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]In my late 30's, been divorced 6 years, no kids, have a MBA, Master's in Accountanting, CPA, CMA & incredible job insecurity. I've worked for 2 large corporations in the past 10 years & have had nothing but total chaos in both. I'm terrified of getting married or having children solely because of financial reasons. I've stopped listening to news or watching news on the radio, TV or Internet. That & I've purposely stopped looking at gas signs. All I was hearing is how I'll be working until I'm dead & be lucky enough to eat even with all this goddamn education. Psychologically the constant drum-beat of bad news bad news bad news all day & having it endlessly reinforced was enough to almost drive me crazy. I know I'm getting fucked & can do almost nothing about except not have kids or a 2nd wife. Hell of a trade but thank you to that asswipe George Bush that's how it is.

Nice article, but fundamentally what is happening is economic bullshit.
[Read the article: Why gas is so expensive]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]No way, no fucking way, could this run up be caused by the variables being described. This shit has been building for years & years & years & how many eyeballs have been pouring over the details? Now suddenly, out of nowhere, NOWHERE, is this breathtaking spike. Sorry, we're being fucked by speculators & those in bed with those fucking Bush-cronies. Gee, how did the mortgage mess happen? Same thing. How about the Iraq disaster? Same shit. Basically the rich can fuck everyone else & there's not much anyone can do except pay & bitch. It's really quite sad that the US is now fucked forever & will be on its knees to the nations with the oil. Thanks government.

Coil of poop?
[Read the article: How crazy are women on reality television?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Haven't laughed out loud like that in awhile. I'll add this to my quiver of verbal arrows along with other descriptors like "bolt of cloth"...coil of poop...nice!

May Khalid live a long time...
[Read the article: "It's an inquisition, not a trial"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]in a tiny cell with no articles of clothes or tools that he could somehow end his life. He deserves many many many years in psychologically crushing confinement so deliciously designed by brutal prison architects. Day in & day out he'll sit & stare at 4 walls wondering, "Where the fuck is Allah when I need him???"

Hopefully multiple assassination attempts after leaving office

Sorry, but women can & should have their bi thing
[Read the article: Are all women a little bit bi?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]In my 37 years which has included a marriage & divorce, (no kids thankfully) listening to my mother (who is divorced) & my sister (who is still married after 11 years & has kids), I have concluded that women make sex so incredible complex that after the "easy sex" is over (12 - 18 months), the rest is far too much work for most men, myself included.
Society teaches women to use their sexuality to lure men & then once they have them to turn the tables & use it as the carrot & stick. Worse, I've heard too many times how men should "love a woman for what's inside" which makes me laugh out loud b/c we get drawn in from what's on the outside.
Not a new argument, but women should be bi b/c god knows what goes on in their heads...it's way way too complicated for any man to contemplate.

Anything that gives Bush & his administration an uppercut
[Read the article: Supreme Court to Bush: You're not above the law]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]is fantastic. Nothing thrills me more than watching him seeth in the interview when he addressed what was done. Fuck this scumbag.
-
Actually, it'd be nice if women would just shut up.
[Read the article: Men, talk among yourselves]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Most men talk little anyhow & after a relationship becomes a roommate situation, that's what happens & I know from my experience & talking w/ my guy friends, the sentiment of "would you just stop talking" is a common complaint of their girlfriends or spouses. Nothing new here.

ROFLMAO
[Read the article: Bad Dad Gift Guide]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Great article...had several laugh out loud moments. Even better was reading the comments from the morons denouncing it...what a bunch of complete fucktards.

Seems like Russert is getting a pass...
[Read the article: Tim Russert, one of the good guys]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]because most, if not all, politicians are viewed as slimebags & most, if not all, journalists are giving these slimebags endless reach-arounds for access, anyone who has the slightest bit of perceived non-bias coupled with a relatively non-grating personality is considered a "good guy". Russert had this combination but still was in bed with these slimebags.

I'm so fucking tired of the goddamn speculators
[Read the article: Saudi Arabia to the rescue?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]this shit needs to fucking stop...where's the fucking government?

@ common reader
[Read the article: Turns out, advertising stereotypes men too]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]no shit! Then, to make matters worse, I've heard countless times after spending a lot of time or money, "...it's not enough!" What women are brought up to believe about men makes it absolutely impossible to do almost anything fucking right.

The underlying current that drives all relationships exposed...
[Read the article: My failed lesbian romance]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It took me many years to comprehend the fact that all relationships (work, friends, intimates, family) are driven by personal needs at a specific time & when that need no longer exists, the relation is over & it can happen from either side. My marriage ended when my exwife got half way through medical school...we'd been together almost a decade when I became no longer useful to her. Same thing w/ guy friendships...a good friendship of 20 years evaporated when his 2nd wife overtook his life. Even family...when I refused to tow the line of something, I get tossed out. Relatively simple premise, incredibly brutal but that's what this article was about.

The "bellweather" crap is a load
[Read the article: The FedEx economy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm so tired of these arguments hypothesizing "as this company goes, so goes the economy". Bullshit. This economy was built from the flimsy foundation of inexpensive oil & that foundation is now gone & will never return. I'm so goddamn mad that our wonderful retards in the government had no Plan B for this & now we are all fucked. Thank you you assholes.
