The website is really cool too....
www.coraline.com
"The Well" has a whole bunch of behind the scenes stills and clips.
You can upload your own pic and "Button Your Eyes" in the Other Mother's Workshop.
You can create your own purdy flower for the Garden.
Really, it's cool, Link is in the sig.
I have a feeling that even if you did friend this person, along with all those other losers that you knew in high school, they'd figure out in a matter of days that you've become a pompous, egotistical, judgemental jackass and defriend you themselves.
Is right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5NzP_yPaNc
The way to combat these bigots is to point out that to them, family is all about babies, and if they have their way, we'll all be getting fertility tests before we are granted a marriage license.
Infertile?
Screw you.
Past-child bearing age?
Screw you.
Been injured in war, and now can't have kids?
Screw you.
Figure it out, gays. Fight fire with fire.
Further reading in my sig.
Excellent example of someone thinking marriage is always only about kids.
Why are wingnuts against gay marriage?:
Because they would like to repeal any rights gays already have, giving them MORE rights is counter to that mission. One way to put it is: Allowing gay marriage is a step forward for gays. Wingnuts want to force gays to take a few steps BACK. If gay marriage is allowed they will have to fight even harder to be legally able to stone gays to death for being gay. Also, if the effort to force the gays back fails, it makes it near impossible to start forcing the women back, which is next on their agenda. The blacks come next after that.
As shitty as all that is, the worst part is that Mr. Nut and his ilk don't realize that we see through all the bullshit to The Actual Truth. And you do realize we won't let you be doing all that forcing back, right?
Just be honest about the bigotry, at least then we'll respect you for being honest.
(pro tip: honest means you have to tell the truth)
(we'll still hate you for being a bigot, but we won't hate you for being a liar. 6 a one, half a dozen of the other)
If you have a two-some that you are looking to join with, you should do what the gays are doing, and fight for your right to do so. I had no idea you were so wild.
Where the hell is my woobie?
Don't feed the trolls.
And thanks for the Mesa, Az shout out. I'm sure that laid off reporter will be doing fine shortly. As much as I enjoy it, the East Valley Tribune ain't exactly the big leagues.
Down with Sheriff Joe
Up with Scott Smith!
No. If Catholics are allowed to divorce and then remarry it will inevitably lead to the complete breakdown of the traditional family unit. And then we'll all go out and try to marry goats.
If contacting investor relations would help to convince salon to implement some sort of rating system with auto-collapse for low-rated comments? Clearly they don't listen to the concerns expressed by premium members about being constantly barraged with posts from ignorant trolls in the letters area.
I sure wouldn't want to advertise on, or invest in, a site that subjects its loyal readers to constant abuse.

Danae Elon says that she believes male circumcision is incomparable to female circumcision because the procedures are done for "entirely different reasons". It sounds like she believes the difference is that for males, it is because God commanded it, and for women it's just because the powers that be think it will keep a woman chaste. Both procedures are used as a way to control sexual behavior. But the filmaker can't get out from under her apparent belief that "God" actually told Abraham to issue this command instead of understanding it was just a way in which that society tried to keep men chaste. Entirely the same reason.
It's called genital integrity, and I don't think this filmaker is able to see the issue without letting religion effect her opinion. She seems to say that the genital mutilation of children is a-ok as long as religion condones it.

You haven't made clear exactly who you want to debate this issue with, so you might be waiting a long while.
I think it's pretty much the same debate, judging from the feminist sites I visit. Some think it's horrible, some think it should be left up to the society or culture. There are many women in the societies where they circ. women who are in favor of the practice. Just like everything, people are divided on the issue. Fortunatley for me, I'm always right.
Have always given me WAY more pleasure. Incomparable, so to speak.
Go suck on some colons, will ya?
