Amazing how intolerant all the atheists are
[Read the article: The atheist and the creationist: Can't they just get along?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I have said it before, the left is just as intolerant of deviance from ideaology as the right. Just take a look at these letters, they're brutal about the the creationist teacher teaching a class. By the way everyone, this class is obviously being taught at some kind of fundamental Christian school where people want to hear this kind of thing, it's no different than everyone who logs onto salon to have their ideology reinforced. Ideaology is ideaology, and the atheist LW should either live and let live and just leave this poor nut alone. His blathering about this child abuse is absolutely absurd, pretentious, and over the top, he sounds as riduculous and Rush Limbaugh.

Why all the nasty responses?
[Read the article: How I misspent my European vacation]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I can totally relate to Ann Bauer's article. When you have children and you travel you become a nervous wreck. Advice to Ann: your friends sound like jerks do some spring cleaning!
To Salon letter writers: What is it about middle class people that you hate so much? I guess you think an article by some fat slob from West Virginia who collects welfare and votes Republican is more interesting.

[Read the article: How I misspent my European vacation]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I found it charming too. Funny how whenever a woman writes anything on Salon and shows any weakness everyone accuses her of being self absorbed and whiney. I think Ms.Bauer sounds like a very sensitive interesting woman with a lot of bagagge, an autistic son, two teenage daughters and a lot on her hands. Stop being so cnynical and ugly because you never know when you are going to be handed a life you didn't anticipate. All she did was go to Italy yet many letter writers are ready to accuse her of being a bourgeoise enemy of the proletariat. Some of you distort everything through class-centric lenses.

syonng or whatever your name is
[Read the article: How I misspent my European vacation]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Narcissistic? If anyone is guilty of being a navel gazer it ought to be you. You can't accept someone else's story about traveling. If someone doesn't have the exact experience as you you can't stomach it. With that good day, now go and unleash your bile on someone who actually deserves it.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]there probably isn't a single hillbilly reading this!:)

Every neighborhood has an asshole...it has nothing to do with the "burbs" being souless places wrecking our society
[Read the article: He dribbles! He shoots! He drives me insane!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't think this has anything to do with the "isolation" of the suburbs which is a constant theme here on Salon. I think this is quite common and always has been. Didn't anyone else grow up in a neighborhood that had some old crank who would call the police when the kids made too much noise, or would ride their bikes across his lawn, or when someone's sprinkler sprayed a little water on his part of the sidewalk? I am 40 years old and I did not live in the ex-urbs and the houses were very close and everyone knew each other, yet this guy always had a problem. Every neighborhood has a an asshole like this. Advice for LW...you can't afford absolute silence so shut up.

Salon has sunk to a new low
[Read the article: Scenes from a group marriage]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The 70's were so revolting why glorify it?

I prefer the stiff Brits to the obnoxious Russians anyday
[Read the article: Dancing with the New Tsars]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This article is a steaming load of crap. These super wealthy Russians are the most brutal, rude, uneducated, vulgar species you have ever, ever seen. I know I live in NY. I also know how much they disdain humanity...they are known to deliberately crash their cars into pedestrians because they don't feel traffic laws apply to them, or that any LAWS apply to them. They build hideious Pink Palaces in Queens that are surrounded by old 1920's brick bungalows. You can see these pink eye-sores all the way from LIE. God forbid you stop in a restaurant on the boardwalk in Brighton Beach and happen upon a bunch of these boorish brutes. You will be lucky that you aren't kidnapped and sold into a snuff film. I can't beleive this article gushes with such admiration for such truly cruel and awful people.

Subwoofers, motorcycles, loud music, jet skis, atvs....
[Read the article: Stop the noise!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What is it with all these noisy jerks? You can't relax at the beach and listen to waves and sea gulls...no instead you have to listen to the incessant whine and slap of jet skis or be bombarded by some other asshole's subwoofer. You certainly can't go to a restaurant and have a nice chat with a friend, oh no, there MUST be throbbing MUSIC to enhance your miserable experience. Why bother sleeping when you can be assaulted 24 hours a day by rude, self absorbed penis head's who think you are just dying to hear car stereos?

She must have liked that back rub
[Read the article: Report: Obama won't speak in front of Brandenburg Gate]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Ms. Merkel must have enjoyed that bizarre back rub that W gave her a couple years ago more than we thought.

Now we need a book about really awful bridesmaids
[Read the article: Bridesmaid revisited]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]One of my bridesmaids of whom I didn't even ask to be in my wedding but begged me to be in it backed out at the last minute, and another bridesmaid didn't show up until after the rehearsal dinner hungover with sores all over her face and pink eye and never bothered to go to the doctor. I spent the day of my wedding trying to help her put herself to make her look less repulsive. Therefore I was late for my own wedding.

This article is so inane I don't know where to begin
[Read the article: Does air conditioning make people vote Republican?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Is this for real? Is this all the crap that Salon has to offer? Air conditoning = Republican? You guys have turned into the biggest bone heads on the internet.
Incidentally, I have never voted Republican and if I didn't have air conditioning all of my books would mold, my ceilings would mold, my clothes would mold, and my house would smell like mold.
If Salon isn't slamming soccer moms or suburbia, it's slamming air conditioning and meat eaters. What a bunch of sanctimonious goose stepping idealogues you guys have turned into.
