Boys in the girls room?
[Read the article: Boys in the girls room, oh my!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is a disaster waiting to happen. One can not even imagine the harm this will cause our people, our country and the world. A sacred trust will have been violated and the sanctity of the toilet is further besmirched as if Senator Craig's toe tapping wasn't bad enough.
I know that liberals will think this is a non issue and make light of our concerns about this breech of public morality and good taste, but there is another side to this coin which has already dropped the other shoe upon our disaster plagued nation.
Women have been using Men's room's quite openly for at least the past ten years in stadiums, colosseums, race tracks and even public gatherings and this even happens on the mall in Washington D.C. amidst the monuments to our once great nation.
Just look what has happened to our country in those ten years - impeachment of Clinton, Bush as President, 911, eternal war, a massive national debt, the Democrats have become Republicans, there is an epidemic of obesity, you cannot buy a soda pop with sugar in it anymore, reality television, American Idol, YouTube, Beowulf and to top it all off, regular TV is being killed off in 2008!!!
Ladies, please stop using the men's room. Perhaps it is not too late to turn back the tide and save America.
And men, do not even THINK about using a ladies room.

Just say no!
[Read the article: Police confirm identity of hostage taker]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Aren't psychiatric medications wonderful?
I wonder if it was a phenothiazine insecticide based drug or a flouride compound insecticide based drug?
Hmmmmn?
Maybe it was something new and exciting. After all, this time there was no actual murder and suicide. Pharmacology marches onward!!!
Well, maybe, maybe not.

So what?
Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich are not fascists. The rest of them are fascists.

You guys love George Washington
[Read the article: Giuliani's terrorist ties]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And he openly rebelled against the Crown of England and was responsible for the deaths of thousands of loyal brave soldiers in the service of his Majesty King George and has literally stolen millions of acres from the British Empire as well as all the assests and properties which were siezed, wasted or destroyed in their so-called "War of Indendence". I guess you ignore your saints' foibles and treasons and hate the virtures of your demons either way.
Personally, looking for a saint and lambasting a guy who owned slaves is little like believing a 45 year old politician who cultivates cannabis and removes and discards the male plants so as to make a more formidable smoke. Not ever. Either it's a stupid thing to wonder about or its so trivial you're wasting your time with it.
As far as we know the only early Presidents who didn't commit such heinous offenses were . . .
. . . I'll get back with you on that later.
Arafat has NOTHING on GW.

Not funny
[Read the article: Is rape off-limits for laughs?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I agree with Xrandadu Hutman. This stupid piece of work gets attention and that is a real shame.
I haven't heard any "rape humor" involving females being the victims and I suppose that makes me half lucky. Men getting raped or the threat of men getting rape is somehow acceptable humor and is pretty common. I don't get it. A man getting raped by gorilla or bear is also a standard gag.
If the culture accepts male rape as funny and just don't be surprised if some people take it the wrong way. As a culture there is a price to be paid for trivializing the abuse of other human beings regardless of gender or status. It makes it acceptable and that is not acceptable.
There are certain things that should not be comedy material because they are hurtful to others or degrading to people in general.
Do we really want rape to be viewed as entertainment or funny in any way whatsoever?
I don't.
Do you want the population to be conditioned and programmed through association of rape and abuse with humor, excitement, thrills and satisfaction with the same techniques that Madison Avenue sells beer, soap, politicians and cars? It is behavior modification and social engineering under the cover of social darwinism and a free market. To what purpose? The worse people feel about themselves and the worse people treat each other the more they will have to rely on buying things to compensate. Buy more! It will make you feel better, safer and more secure.

@Silenced
[Read the article: Does organic wine taste bad?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Well you cannot patent that drug you are talking about and that means there is no money in it for big business so you can just forget about it being made legal until this country pulls its head out of the dark place it is stuck in.
