Count on BS to find a way to blame every problem in the world on feminists.
Did you know that feminists were behind the Holocaust? It's true!
Did you know that feminists told Stalin to purge 20 million Russians? It's true!
Did you know that 10,000 years of female subjugation, rape, and slaughter were caused by feminists? It's true!
Did you know that the only reason patriarchy exists is because of feminists? It's true!
Did you know that Charlemagne beheaded 2,000 Saxons in one sitting because of feminists? It's true!
Let's see, what other fun things can we blame on those Horrible Terrible No-good Very-bad Feminsts?
Oh Brightstar, how wise you are. We've been wrong this whole time. We bow to your superior knowledge and intellect.
omg i <3 law & order!
Seriously. Well, until it got bad. When Adam Schiff went away they had that pansy chick who made all liberals look bad. And then that big drawling Southern idiot.
AND THEN SERENA WAS GAY?!
And then the ADA got her eyes poked out or something. Poor Jack, losing another one to reckless fictional violence and bad contracting decisions.
It's all a blur. You can only watch 400 or so episodes of Law & Order before it's all sort of the same thing. Must be true for politics as well.
I immediately think of the Lib Dems, or Liberal Democrats, one of the top three political parties in the UK.
But, really, I suppose it must be rather dizzying for the world to revolve around you. I'll forgive your confusion over this issue.
To be honest, I stopped watching regular L&O about the time Elisabeth Rohm quit. It seemed to me that the quality of that show just kept on slipping and slipping... now I mostly watch SVU, and sometimes even CI, although it's not my favorite. I watch L&O reruns on TNT occasionally.
But I'm glad McCoy is the new DA, rather than some random new actor they could pull in. Neither Diane Weiss's character nor Fred Thompson's could really match the wry, sardonic wisdom of Adam Schiff, and they both ended up being caricatures of themselves. To me, Law & Order sort of reached its high point during the Jamie Ross-Abbie Carmichael era, and has sort of been beating itself into irrelevance ever since.
As for the new ADA (and AADA?), I have no idea what they're like. You'd have to tell me!
Abbie Carmichael, with her oodles of badassitude, is the only hyperconservative woman I have ever loved :-)
If drug use is higher among whites than blacks, then why does this study say the exact opposite?
The 2006 National Survey on Drug Use and Health showed that the highest rate of current (past month) illicit drug use was among American Indian/Alaska Natives (13.7%), followed by blacks/African Americans (9.8%), persons reporting two or more races (8.9%), whites (8.5%), Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islanders (7.5%), and Hispanics (6.9%). The lowest rate of current illicit drug use was among Asians (3.6%).

In any case, once again, that's not the issue here. The tendencies of any racial group to do one thing or another do not necessarily reflect on individuals within that racial group, and I for one try to take people for who they are and what they've done rather than what they are.
The issue is whether or not a candidate's opponent should be able to use their admitted past actions against them. I am just continually annoyed at how people are using one man's possible reference to Obama's past drug use as a way to bash Hillary, yet again. It's getting so old, people.
All this proves is that people will jump on any excuse to irrationally assault Hillary, while safely guarding Obama on his pedestal. The double-standard is what's sickening here.
What I don't think people understand about cleaning services is that they're not really there to pick up your crap for you... they're there to clean stuff. Like, vacuuming the carpet, washing the floors, dusting things, etc. If you just have volumes of personal possessions lying everywhere, they can't really do much with it.
My parents get a cleaning service for their house, and I know that before the 'maids' we always have to clean for them. Not clean, per se, but get all the crap stored and out of the way.
So, a cleaning service might be helpful once you get everything where it needs to go, but they are not going to do like Clean Sweep and organize everything for you.
As long as we're talking about implementing churchy things into the Constitution, it would be pretty awesome to legally enforce just war theory.
Well, it constantly amazes me that in the ignorant public's collective mind, homosexuality = gay men. Clearly, this is a male problem, and has nothing to do with homosexuality per se. You don't see any discussion of lesbians getting this infection more than other people.
The issue here is that men are typically not as cleanly (or whatever) as women, therefore they are more likely to catch or transmit this infection. It's simple probability, and nothing to do with morality, that males in frequent contact with other males (whether because they are macking or because they are sharing locker rooms, saunas and whirlpools) are increasing their odds of transmitting and catching.
You'd have to perform some pretty crazy logical contortionism to come to a conclusion other than that.
My name is Tim Grieve and if I couldn't cling desperately to stories that no one else cares about, I don't know what I would do with my sad, sad life.
GOOD THING I'M GETTING PAID FOR THIS CRAP LOL
No one actually likes states' rights. It's just one of those things you have to talk about to let people know you're a "real" conservative.
It's like secret code. Thunder.... CLAP.
Ok, it's safe, he's on our side!
When, in an apology, a person manages to glorify himself and degrade the people he should be apologizing to, all in one fell swoop?
It's like it's almost not an apology at all!?
No one is surprised.
