    Certainly there are GOP-types who hate women.

    But I am not so sure that is what this is all about.

    Something about the Clintons make GOP-types just go bat-shit-crazy!

    For the life of me I have never understood this. They (the Clintons) govern pretty much like moderate-Republicans.

    Any thoughts????

    Interesting take.

    It absolutely BLOWS MY MIND that there are people who give a shit whom other people--of legal age & consenting--have sex with. I just can't imagine a frame-of-mind like that.

    Well, as I've told you previously: sometimes your posts piss-me-off & sometimes I agree with you 100%!

    Have a great weekend my freind.....

    Anon_Lesbian--We get it.

    Your pain is much worse than anyone else's.

    Maybe you can start your own blog & tell the world.

    I am sure I too disgust you. Somehow I'll survive your opinion of me, however.

    --------------------------------------

    Now, as for the actual topic of this article:

    Cary was right-dead-on. Figure out what it is you want, make a plan of how to get there & execute that plan. And don't look back whatever your decision.

    And be honest with the man in your life. Would you want him to screw other men/women behind your back? How would that make you feel?? Then give him the same respect.

    I don't think you're being sexist at all. You want to be comfortable with the doctor/doctors you have. And if you feel more comfortable with women doctors chances are YOU will communicate better with HER (therefore getting better treatment).

    I got a vasectomy this summer. The doctor I felt most comfortable with was a young female korean doctor. I got right in (I don't think she gets too many patients becuz of her sex & her specialty (urology)). And she did a great job!

  • Getting Old

    Sucks!

    It just plain sucks, however you look at it. The only bright side is that (hopefully) you don't make the same stupid mistakes you made when you were young.

    We all get old.

    We all die.

    Lets try to be kind to each other. And forgive each other.

    Peace.

    Don't have to have primaries at all.

    Or caucuses.

    They could just draw straws if they wanted.

    So if they want to use superdelagates or whatever--it's up to them.

    My state doesn't have it's primary until late May. I am guessing it will be decided by then.

    If not, I can't decide becuz I like both candidates equally.

    So I will decide my vote by coin flip ;)

    I'm still waiting for those human-animal hybrids President Lowest Common Denominator was talking about.

    A hyena crossed with Dick Cheney would be an interesting specimen.

    You want male babies unless you want a society in which females vastly outnumber men.

    And you think us guys are spoiled now????

    And of course you imply women vote in a homogenous block??

    BTW--women could do sex-selection abortions NOW--but I don't see alot of that going on.

    No, the average woman likes men just fine.

    Maybe you & your male counterpart, Brightstar could use the rest of this letterthread to bash the other sex??

    Please do, keeps me entertained during long work days.

    If your counterpart uses the screen name 'brightstar'--perhaps you could use 'supernova'??

    Just trying to help..

    There is no 'right' to vote in a party's primary.

    Or caucus.

    A political party could select it's nominee by drawing straws if it chose to.

    My state doesn't have it's primary until late May. So you could say us Oregonians are disenfranchised because our votes are, theoretically, much less valuable than the vote of someone from Iowa.

    Quit whining.

  • Obama vs McCain

    [Read the article: A supersize controversy]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Obama vs McCain---McCain will look like a confused OLD man.

    Obama will look like a vibrant world leader.

    Yes, the far right will be up to it's normal dirty, nasty tricks. But after 8 years of little boy Bush it won't work. Americans will remember 'swift-boating' & Florida-2000.

    This will be a wipe-out. Absolute wipe-out.

    McCain will carry the deep, deep south & Utah & Idaho.

    A Democratic tidal-wave is coming in November.

    Stay tuned....

    How can people who support one of the 2 remaining Democratic candidates hate the other remaining candidate??

    For ONCE we have two super Democrats to choose from.

    My state, Oregon, doesn't have it's primary until late May. If the contest is still going then I will have a HELL of a time deciding between these two fine choices. Like I've said before, it may come down to a coin-flip for me to finally decide.

    I sometimes think the people who come in here screeching hate about one of the two candidates are simply freeperland trolls...

    Why in the name of GOD are Omar Vizquel & Rich Aurilia on this team??

    They are going nowhere, might as well lose with young guys rather than over-the-hill has-beens.
