used by overprivileged people so they can sign out with an alibi.
occasionally, there is real mental disease, but most of the so called mental illness I see in the leftists is an indulgence. it is someone saying, "I can 'act' mentally ill because I can. I can check out at will"
Of course, soon enough the person forgets where the exit door was and truly begins to believe he or she is unable to function.
The best advice is always to buck up, wake the fuck up, and GROW UP.
As for Hinckley, that loser knew exactly what he was doing. The son of close Bush family friends (I mean, for God's sake, George bush ate dinner with the Hinckleys the NIGHT BEFORE the assassination attempt!), he figured if he takes out Reagan, that then Bush would be president SOONER, and Jr Hinckley would then get a cushy lifetime achievement award, a name change and a ticket to some faraway paradise along with a big bank account. He calculated wrong and now he is stuck in prison. The Jodie Foster thing was a plausible deniability diversion.
One need only read up on a "George Bush" being involved in various CIA maneuvers around the Kennedy assassination to comprehend what is going on. Assassination is a longtime pasttime of the right. Notice the Bushes NEVER have attempts on their lives, only people on the Democrat side.
only a man who truly loves this woman would do such a drastic thing as a murder suicide.
true love...
NOW, putting aside the psychology women engage in, YES, it does seem totally ludicrous.
But then, who are YOU people to judge her decision?
This mechanism is the way the world gets populated with scumbags. Bad, rogue genes keep prospering. Good, logical and decent genes wither.
but no I don't.
but I do in a way.
but not in THAT way.
this works though, as long as you do not figure out how it hurts you.
but OK, I can see now how I need to help change the law again because of the unintended consequences of the prior law.
but men suck, so there should not be a similar law for them.
and oh yeah, I reserve the right to eviscerate and destroy you because of the way you looked at me that one time.
and I am a victim.
and the definer of life and death.
please make more laws for me, and only me (meaning me, because I am a woman) and all women for that matter.
oh, and, one more time: men really DO suck.
and I get to reserve MY right to treat others like crap despite just telling you to outlaw such behavior in others.
because I am special.
and make sure to spell my name right even though I just made up the spelling one night on a whim.

I can always count on Broadsheet to be my comics page...
I've been thinking of making my own again.
I like some of the organic brands out there now, The Greek Gods is AWESOME.
I used to make ice cream, but it always was more ice milk, I did not have the ice cream maker.
your recipe sounds interesting, my only concern would be that it would be impossible to find organic evap milk.
Hard to beat organic milk, eggs, sugar, fruit. yummo.
Do we not all have sisters and mothers and wives and daughters? Do we not want them to get great healthcare? Why are we even arguing about this? To those men who spout rage at the thought that women should pay the same amount for health insurance as men I can't help but wonder if you are horribly lonely and angry at women or in a terrible marriage and angry at one woman in particular.
Don't women have husbands and brothers and sons?
Or does only being female matter?
the more every single one of them seems to be a big brat.
parse these books, parse the concepts in them.
basically, these toads are saying life should not affect women and only women negatively.
tell me this is the behavior or mature responsible adults.
I too could write a book like this about how men are all oppressed and how we have to be polite ad nauseam.
and it would have as much or MORE validity than that women are somehow in this position. society LETS women have their way, but for men, it is 'put up or shut up'.
men somehow have more brains, we realize to just piss and moan does little. then again, women have a built in support system in that if women squeak, men squirt oil at the problem.
but I see ZERO of the same mechanism back at the men from the women. it is all about being able to tolerate inhuman conditions for so many men.
So SCREW FRENCH, she just causes more problems for men, and for women, isolates the two sexes, who ought to be working together for a better world, legitimizes immature female braying even more.
I grew up in a world that thought I was to be treated with hate and suspicion because I have a penis. How is it that this is not reported in the New York Times that this is the world we men grow up in?
Women have exhausted their goodwill. The male is on the ascendancy, maybe one day soon, we men might have the rights afforded to the women today, such as reproductive rights, the rights to peace in one's household, the right not to have to put oneself in harm's way for the republic, the right to TRUE freedom of expression, etc.
We are living the handmaids tale, but the sexes are REVERSED today.
