Well
[Read the article: Enough Britney bashing already]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Some other letter writers are implying that I should give a crap what happens to Brittney.
I care as much as I would care about anyone I did not know having troubles.
I do not know Brittney personally. I probably never will.
Does Brittney give a crap about what happens to me?
Brittney got rich becuz of the mass media. Good for her.
But lets not kid ourselves. If not for the mass media Brittney would more than likely be flipping burgers somewhere living in a trailer with a drunk husband named 'Gomer'.
So it takes gall for people to now turn around & blame the mass media for her misfortunes...

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Do you really think the Mass Media companies would really put stuff on the Mass Media if there wan't a Mass consumer appetite for? These companies are in the bizness of making dinero. Why in the world would they put stuff on TV that no one wanted to see??
YOU & I may think it's silly, but there's a huge number of folks out there who eat up this shit.
Look how many people vote consistently against there own best interests at election time.
Like most liberals, you over-estimate the IQ of the avg american.
Say what you want about Karl Rove--but he knows what the avg american is all about.

She chose her partner, so who's fault is THAT?!?

[Read the article: The mating game]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm 45 & I text with my 24 yr old gf all the time!
Why is it the same 'enlightened' 'happy' women who screech with rage about older men dating younger women then turn around & PROMOTE older women dating younger men?
And, as I've said before--who's fucking bizness is it who other people are fucking anyways??
Get a gawd-damned life.

[Read the article: The mating game]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]There there, such bitterness!
I didn't say I wouldn't date a woman my age--my last 2 gf's were older than me. But now I happen to have a younger gf.
And I raised my son as a single parent with ex-wife out of the picture. So I probably know this relationship ain't gonna make it long term, since I don't want more kids--don't wanna go there again! And she knows that. But we're having a blast for now. And I have had a vasectomy so, no whoops babies.
The crux of my message was-->>>WHY DO PEOPLE--IN THIS CASE FEMINISTS--HAVE SUCH A SHIT-HEMORRAGE ABOUT WHOM OTHER PEOPLE FUCK?
I mean really!
Get a fucking life.
PS---I do NOT resemble a warthog! Maybe Bullwinkle J Moose? ;)

Barry Bonds
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I wonder how Bonds will do when he is eligible?
How are you NOT going to vote him in?

[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I pretty much agree.
Bill Mazeroski in the Hall of Fame??
If Mazeroski is a hall-of-famer, what does that make Jeff Kent?
It's weird that Morgan has so much contempt for Bill James, since James used to say Morgan was the best second baseman of all-time. Maybe he still does, I don't read much of his stuff anymore.

Offense vs Defense
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The minor leagues r stuffed full of guys who play great defense and are great athletes but couldn't hit a curveball on a bet.
Thats what makes what Bonds did 2000-2004 so incredible. Roids or no, it's amazing anyone was able to put up those kinds of numbers vs major league pitching--especially considering he plays in a park that is death to left-handed power hitters. I remember watching an espn broadcast of a Giants game in 2001, the broadcasters (I forget who they were) were talking about how they had covered several Giants games that year & really couldn't remember Bonds taking a check-swing in any of them.
So my original question should have been--what will Hall-of-Fame voters do with power hitters of the steroid era?
I'm guessing had there been roids in the 1st quarter of the 20th century, Ty Cobb would have ate them like they were candy.

BTW
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If being above avg in defense was so critically important, don't you think someone would have tried to field a team with super-defensive skills and as a team had great fielding stats but a OBP of .275 & no power?
Or that a team composed of something like this would have won a world series??
Rant, Rave!! Play Ball!!

[Read the article: Hairy-legged feminists storm the U.N.!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Good to know we have great liberals like yourself to tell everyone in the world how to live & think.
How gracious of you, oh enlightened one.
& the people who choose not to think like you can become soylent green for the unwashed & uneducated masses.

Fembots??
[Read the article: I fooled around while I was away and my boyfriend can't get over it]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I thought they were the hot robot chix in Austin Powers with the machine-gun tits??
But seriously....people we really really need to quit staring at the rubble of the destructive parts of our lives & move on. Learn to forgive. Use the failures of our lives as a tool for personal growth & move on. LW has made mistakes, some of them even evil--but that fact will not help either her or bf from becoming better people if they do not try to learn from this.
& all the folks in here who attack the opposite sex, I'm guessing becuz of the way some members of the opposite sex have treated them in the past (& yes, I count myself as part of the problem). Can't we all just call a truce? & forgive each other for the terrible things members of our gender have done to each other?
Maybe we should begin to treat others the way we would like to be treated, without expecting anything in return??
Peace....

I wonder
[Read the article: Porn free]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If Rod Powers or whomever the hell this guy is today, told his recruiter about his homosexual past?? That automatically would have barred him from joining the service.
And if he lied about it, thats a UCMJ offense.
He could, theoretically, do time in Leveanworth, KS.
