Tragula
[Read the article: Airlines ban men from sitting next to kids]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]By all means stay in a germ-free room at all times & never have outside contact.
Becuz you just never know when some evil person who is out to get you will appear.
What a lovely life you & yours must be having.

Of Course
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Defensive rebounds are more valuable than offensive rebounds.
When a team gets a Defensive rebound, you have gauranteed the opposing team will not score on this possession.
When a team gets a Offensive rebound, that team may or may not score on this possession.
As far as Rodman goes:
1) He was a needed component to that Bulls team, but of course the Bulls would not have been jack without Jordan. I had always figured the team was more or less Jordan's, much like the 60's Celtics were Russell's. And not much happened without those guys' approval.
2) Rodman as a Hall-of-Famer----Rodman was a key part on 5 NBA Title teams. Is there any precedence for NOT putting a player with this resume in the Hall-of-Fame?
3) Rodman vs TO----Clearly Rodman is the more valuable player. Rodman filled a niche that not many NBA players are capable of/are willing to fill. Had he been on a 2nd-division team most of his career he clearly would have scored much more than he did. Can you imagine TO sacrificing his own stats for the team?

I get the feeling
[Read the article: The Madonna adoption circus]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is 100% a publicity stunt for Madonna, who can not possibly live without the spotlight upon her.
In a few weeks she'll grow bored with her new toy & have the steerage staff take care of this new bother, while she is off with a new beau or on tour or whatever.

Does anyone
[Read the article: I'm a Brazilian girl -- why do I fall for French and Italian guys?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Know what the f&&k 'umm' is even talking about? Or why anyone should give a rats ass?

Numbers
[Read the article: More women living sans spouse]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So 51% of women are single & 47% of men are single.
Does this mean that 4% of men are actually single but they are unaware of it?

lww
[Read the article: More women living sans spouse]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Of course most of the folks who would post a letter to this type of thing have a serious axe to grind against the opposite sex, so take these opinions with a grain of salt.
Most women actually like most men, & vice-versa.
But if I ever get married again, I doubt I will marry an american woman. Nothing against american women, but it doesn't seem that americans in general take marriage very seriously. And why would I want to marry someone who places little importance on marriage?

What??
[Read the article: More women living sans spouse]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm still trying to figure out what is up with the 4% of men who think they are married, but really aren't.
You know--51% or women are single but only 47% of men are.
Can someone explain this gap to me?

[Read the article: Happy anniversary]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"you can learn that 49% of all child support cases NEVER get a dime assigned by a court"
Horseshit.
If a guy ain't making support payments, the court will deduct from his paycheck automatically. And if he is a completely unemployed bum, the court will toss his ass in jail. (We could ask why Ms. wonderful had babies with a complete bum when there are plenty of decent men out there--but lets leave that for another discussion)
This is one of those Yogi Berra instances in which 80% of all stats you see on the internet are 95% horseshit.

re:Potential Human Life
[Read the article: Happy anniversary]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So is the combination of the sperm in my testes & the egg in the ovary of the woman in the cube next to me.
I ask--is it murder if I fail to plant my sperm in her egg?? If not, why not? Why not?? The sperm is obviously alive. As is her unfertilized egg.
And when a woman has a miscarriage, if abortion is murder-->>does that mean miscarriage is manslaughter?

Emily
[Read the article: I'm a babe, a total catch -- so why am I alone at 39?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I like your take on this.
Someone in TT said something about the trouble with two shining stars revolving around each other. The stress from that type of relationship must just be overwhelming.
So maybe it's better for a shining star to pair off with someone a bit less bright?
Or maybe it's just really really hard for a shining star to have a good relationship at all because they are so wrapped up in their own orbit?

Child Bride??
[Read the article: My wife is lying to me about her affair]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She's THIRTY-FUCKING-TWO!
That being said, those kids ain't her responsibility--they're his.
Dude, grow some balls, find your priorities & RAISE YOUR GOD-DAMNED KIDS.
And don't get into another relationship until your youngest kid is off to college or in basic military training.

Child Support
[Read the article: My wife is lying to me about her affair]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yeah--I forgot about that part of Cary's response.
I couldn't figure out if he wastalking about current wife or the bio-mother.
I wouldn't think current wife has any financial responsibility for the kids, bio-mom should. But we know nothing about bio-mom, so thats all speculation.
Speculating that as flaky as LW is, bio-mom was as big, or bigger nutcase as current wife so he's probably getting zero from her too.
Dude--you're on your own. As I said before--raise your kids, forget women for awhile.

Well
[Read the article: I'm a babe, a total catch -- so why am I alone at 39?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]After reading the original letter & all the letters in here, one thing's for sure:
There are alot of financially successful people out there who are screwed up in the head.

I swear
[Read the article: My wife is lying to me about her affair]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Some people could be shown a live video of a woman using a machine-gun to mow down random people on the street, & they'd be on the side of that woman.

The Republicans
[Read the article: Yes, women can have balls!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Won't have to do a single thing to take the White House & Congress in 2008.
All they need to do is sit back & let the Dems destroy themselves by canabalizing their own successes.
Just like we're witnessing here.

I love
[Read the article: "Overcritical women and their excessive expectations"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Women (usually women, not always)intimating that women are so morally superior to men, and that men have so much trouble 'getting' a woman--an american woman being the best of the best, of course. Those awful 3rd world women being subhuman, of course.
For christ's sakes--guys in maximum-security prison for killing their family with a hammer GET AMERICAN WOMEN BY THE DROVES!
