Hay Dipsy

so unless a woman has been PERSONALLY raped, she has no right to speak out against rape nor to even bring the subject up.

OK, I defeated you handily on that one.

In this specific example, yes, I would hate to be that guy. Maybe the woman really did try to trap him. That's a shame, and it's wrong. But to tar all women with such a broad brush is ridiculous.

It's wrong, isn't it? But the society determined that it is RIGHT legally. Precisely what I am talking about.

Do you not see that there is something deeply wrong with this picture?

Do you think I should just keep my mouth shut UNTIL some woman pulls this stunt on me?

you have a rich fantasy world.

You are right

What the hell gives you the right to judge what others do? Why is this so important to you?

How could I not have seen how correct you ARE!

What the hell DOES give me the right to judge what the rapist is doing to the young woman? What the hell was I thinking???

Aren't there enough jails in this country yet?

So how does it feel, Democrats and Republicans in CONGRESS, to have taken those few hundred thousand dollars in your pockets in exchange for not putting into place proper oversight on Wall Street and, thus, helping lose TRILLIONS of dollars of the little people's money?

THAT is money at WORK.

Is there STILL a shortage of prisons in this country?

Why is every person who helped those lobbyists, the lobbyists THEMSELVES, and the congressmen STILL walking the streets free? Shouldn't our vaunted FBI be looking at this as a CRIME SCENE?!?

Or does the FBI only protect the rich?

The transfer of power

from the 'right wing' of the New World Order Party (Republicans) to the 'left wing' of the New World Order Party (Democrats) is occurring precisely, like clockwork.

If the people have not been taken yet by Obama's messiah vibe, well then, everything the Republicans are pulling this past week is helping to make sure people get the message.

VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATS, vote for the Democrats.

the New World Order Party NEVER loses. For eight years, Bushista was in power (bad cop), taking the stops out from underneath the buttresses of our system-- buh bye Habeas Corpus, buh byye Bill of Rights.

NOW, the New World Order Party has an ALTERNATIVE lined up and raring to go, the Democrats (good cop) will roll on in and implement the NEXT part of the plan. Taking our guns away, raising taxes.

Nobody need look BEYOND the New World Order Party and its two shining marionettes, Obama and McCain.

So, in 00 and 04, Democrats looked like foam at the mouth fools while the Republicans looked like geniuses. In 08, the Republicans are playing the fool, and the Democrats look like sheer geniuses.

And the LITTLE PEOPLE have BOUGHT this stage play.

This tootsie is just the latest. If this had been a real stunt, it would have been orchestrated and vetted so it did not look like the perpetrator had an 80 IQ.

Glad you concede I am correct

Entirely too easy really. I was expecting a valid counterargument and you disappointed me.

But then, how is your typical leftie capitulation any different from the reactions of anyone else who prefers sophistry, misdirection, and smoke and mirrors over REAL arguments based in reality and truth?

Sometimes, the person you are arguing with will actually call you on your bluff and provide you with the petard with which to hoist yourself.

Or maybe you do not know any better because you have always used these tactics and won against weaker contenders.

This is unfair to the Repubs

Mitt Romney, and others like him, is taken a lot more seriously because of his refined suits.

Al Gore hired Naomi Wolfe, knowing 'image' and 'attitude' is important.

For Palin to go to events dressed like a reject from Hee Haw would be a joke.

Clothes do cost a lot because well fitting tailored clothes are expensive.

Palin cannot win. You rip on her for being simple, then you rip on her or being sophisticated.

And you Democrats and lefties expect people to be attracted to your party when you are no better than the Republicans?

The sad thing is peopel do not communicate

Bubbles are the specialty of the Banksters' Federal Reserve System.

This artificial boom/bust cycle is so well documented. It is used by the internationalist elites to take down any nation or economy to make it more pliable to their needs.

But average peon humans miss the point anyway.

Maybe time will change and people will grow the genetic structure to make them skeptical enough to overcome the abuse by their so called leaders, but that stuff works over eons, not decades.

Go back to your teevee. There must be some reality show on now that interests you and that acts as a palliative and security blankie.

Can anyone answer

Why Democrats are always being assassinated or nearly so? Clinton had someone coming after him nearly monthly back in 93 or 94.

Yet Bush the Second is the most despised president in history and nobody has laid a hand on him.

Also, nobody has explained why Bush the First is connected to the Kennedy assassination and the Reagan near assassination.

Isn't this the job of the CIA to pursue these leads?

Here comes the 'troll' namecalling

Your tactic of female-provocateur-who-rattles-the-broadsheet-cages and your troll apologetics are wearing thin.

I do not understand the attacks on Stroz, unless it is to shut her up.

"Yes it is" is immature? A threat maybe even? The girl has a sense of humor. She anticipated the typical female response and reacted as if she is talking to a seven year old with her "yes it is" repeat.

And again, the joke flies over the head.
