Fatties
[Read the article: Healthy, my ass]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I wish there were less fat people on the subway. More people could sit down in the morning during rush hr. I pay a lot of taxes but there are always fatties filling up the seats. Don't they know standing burns more calories? As my grandfather says, easy way to lose weight: stop eating.

Subconscious of the shallow
[Read the article: How can I comfort my boyfriend about losing his hair?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Cary's response highlighted the LW's true subconscious issues. She wants to leave her balding Mr. Nice Guy because she is disgusted by the loss of his hair, but feels guilty and so instead is trying to pretending to be very concerned and self-lacerating. This letter is so shallow. What kind of pussy needs to be comforted about going bald! With all the tragic things happening to people in the world, if some dude is feeling sorry for himself for losing his hair like half the other guys on the planet, he is a loser and no wonder LW wants to leave him but can't admit it. Cary is freeing the LW is pursue her shallow wishes.

[Read the article: Should strip-club bachelor parties be men-only?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Working in a strip club is about as bad as working at Duane Reade or Gristedes, in other words, your high and mighty justification for not allowing your hypothetical husband to go to one sounds like complete bullshit. I've been to both a strip club and Duane Reade and Gristedes and the workers appear to be equally miserable/apathetic. You can tell from the prison tattoos on the Duane Reade workers' arms that they've had a hard time too, you should probably not allow your hypothetical husband to go in there, and you shouldn't go there either.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Duane Reade and Gristedes are drug stores and grocery stores in New York City where the employees are especially surly and sullen.

AKA Smith
[Read the article: Should strip-club bachelor parties be men-only?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]you have some serious 1) mother issues, from the way you describe being loyal and allied with women first and foremost when their husbands hit on you, and
2) libido issues. You are way overthinking exactly how sexy to act around married men, their wives, unmarried men. Act as sexy as you want to or feel and let everyone else worry about themselves. Freud told us that repression of our libidos can lead to weirdness, and your posts demonstrate this.

What would jesus do?
[Read the article: I'm a sexually active woman, but my Christian parents treat me like a child]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]They're not good christians- they're divorced and they are sanctimonious. Jesus loved prostitutes and various sinners and probably would not have made a sinner sleep in a separate bedroom. I have a feeling Jesus didn't give a rat's ass about premarital sex.

[Read the article: Was the Tasered student asking for it?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]No one wants to read your blog, because your arguments aren't sound and your blog probably sucks even worse than your boring, asinine repeated comments. If you want to make excessive comments and cause a clownish disturbance here, you deserve to be tased. Post your address.

[Read the article: I'm cheating on my husband and loving it. Is that a problem?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]have to say i'm disappointed with your advice this week. Usually you take the nuanced, poetic high road and try to bring out the unexpected and the complexities in a situation. This week I feel you are kowtowing to all the comment trolls who always accuse you of not being judgmental enough. Sociopath? Come ooon. Everyone has a libido, it's a complex thing. Repressing it isn't what's best for everyone. To all you strident harridans commenting, the trajectory of human evolution is towards MORE sexual freedom, not less. There are still countries where a woman can be stoned to death for adultery. Maybe you guys should go hang out there.

Diet coke sucks
[Read the article: Life will kill you]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Has anyone noticed Salon is advertising diet coke with multivitamins today? I read that vitamin C and diet coke have a chemical reaction in your stomach that creates benzene.
Regarding the cell phone thing, my chiropractor told me that his brother in law is a cell phone exec., and none of the execs will use cell phones very much, because the brain tumor evidence is all there.

DRIVEL
[Read the article: Hey, skinny bitch!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm kind of appalled that salon takes articles from comic hacks who are terrible writers, and glaring self-promoters. she's not interested in writing- she's reviewed a hugely popular book, that's not worth the trees killed to print it, in order to gain notoriety for herself. i wouldn't have googled this klausner if not for the fact that one letter writer called her fat and i just felt like checking. But she (JK) is an obvious self-promoter and this superficial rant, this useless screed, this unoriginal rip off that she's published in salon does nothing for anyone. it is not intellectual, it is not enlightening. it is unoriginal. it is the kind of thing that reminds me NEVER to pay for reading salon, even if they will give it to you for free if you send yourself $40 flowers. i thought about that one, and this kind of mind-eroding tabloid essay reminds me not to waver in my conviction that salon is not worth a cent! it's just wrong to publish this douche, period.
and klausner? i'm fairly certain paglia would find your piece extremely tiresome, like i did. Paglia actually has an original idea once in a while. try going for that!!!!!!!!!

Bulls--T paternalism from Salon, which takes itself too seriously and is lucky anyone posts anymore
[Read the article: Anonymous no more]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Preventing anonymous posting will result in fewer dissenting voices being heard. Notice how the majority of the posts to this article are bravo and etc. This decision is anti-free speech. The person who mentioned the ease with which one can scroll past anonymous or trolly comments was right on. I can't wait to enjoy the new nannified letters posting area.

i'm someone who would vote for clinton over obama, and for mccain over clinton
[Read the article: Quarter of Clinton supporters would vote McCain over Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]and i resent the posters who say that that alone makes you a racist. by that great logic, those who'd vote for obama over clinton are sexist.
you want to know why? EXPERIENCE. obama is an empty suit full of hot air.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT I'M NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU RABID OBAMATONS CAN DO TO STOP ME! YOU'RE ALL FASCISTS!
