cute but stupid
[Read the article: Feminists want "vagina" all to themselves?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Upon reflection, men should start using vajayjay. As amusing as this thread has been, I think hearing a man say "Man, I need to find me some hot, wet vajayjay" may just bring tears to my eyes. Just imagining couples tossing vjj into their dirty talk repetoire while trying to sound serious and sexy makes the world a happier place for me. Vajayjay sounds to me like a small pet kept as an accessory, and therefore will stay out of my personal vocabulary. It's juvenile, which renders it fairly innocuous. I don't really care what other people call their own genitals, (I'll even refrain from eyerolls if I hear it,) so long as adults aren't passing along ridiculous sounding slang to my young children. As for my vocabulary, I don't use the word vagina to refer to a vulva anymore than I use anus to refer to an ass. I use those words when I mean the orifice itself. Pussy doesn't work for me. That always seems to be the word of choice whenever a woman's more intimate bits are talked about in the most vulgar or demeaning way. For intimate talk, I like cunt. While vulgar, it sounds more strong than sleazy.

Is this how VA Repubs react to Ron Paul?
[Read the article: The GOP's loyalty oath]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That Ron Paul thing was just what I was thinking. A lot of his base is independent and in the liberatian quarter of the Dems. Could they really be worried that in an open primary his supporters might show up in force to swing things in a way not to the party's liking?

[Read the article: This Modern World]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It'd be funny if I could laugh about it I guess, but the reality is I get an ache in the pit of my stomach when I start to think about the money involved. And Bees- there is no giving it BACK to us. We never had it. They're borrowing it on our behalf. So rather than taking our money, they're giving us debt - with interest. Very generous, no? That's the part I can't manage a laugh about. If they were just blowing our tax dollars, I think I'd be able to chuckle a bit.

Wash DC murder rate
[Read the article: New debates about the oldest profession]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That can't reflect current statistics. I'm sure for the last couple years their neighbor to the north, Baltimore, has dramatically surpassed them both in rate and in number. I think even cities like Philadelphia and Detroit have exploded past our capitol in violence and murder. Legalized prostitution in DC wouldn't be a disaster. Heck, it might even finally put that murder capitol lable to rest. But there would have to be congressional support for such a thing, and while congressmen might benefit enormously, I just don't think they'd let the issue go rather than score family values political points on it. Politicians seem to prefer to keep their personal vices... dirty.

Of course McCain is a foreign policy expert,
[Read the article: Journalists, McCain and the false Iran/al-Qaida link]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]McCain advocated more troops from the begining! Among many of those former war cheerleaders who now acknowlege that Iraq has been a disaster, I still detect a strong undercurrent that the idea of invasion was not wholly misguided, it was simply incompetently executed by this administration. As though, if carried out under different leadership, (like for instance, our wise, more troop demanding war hero McCain,) we'd all be sitting on dandelions in sunshine with this Iraq thing.

people aren't objecting to the science
[Read the article: Have a daughter? You wimp]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't think people's objections to the conclusions here are about whether testosterone levels affect the sex of babies. People are objecting the the broad personality characterizations made based on personal testosterone levels, which seems to be less than science in this case. I mean really, if I were to take testosterone to treat a flagging sex drive, would I find myself suddenly less than nurturing of my children and taking up competitive sports? And if my testosterone levels were suppressed, would I no longer compete for that promotion at work, or take that jerky car mechanic to task for overcharging, but stay home and knit blankies for puppies? Hormone levels that fluctuate through a lifetime being the central factor in such large personality categorizations just fails the sniff test for something "Scientific" for me. If only it were that easy to adjust others' personalities. I can think of a couple people I might like to... fix. Ha.
