If I'm such a waste of your time and energy, why do you give me so much of it.
I am trying to have a conversation with you, but all you give me is your insults. And your last batch of insults reflected very well just how sick you really are.
I say a lot of things calling out trolls, insensitive pigs, date rape enablers, false accusation fear mongers, paranoid freaks, and general disgrace to men characters, but never have I thrown out anything as twisted as what you threw at me. which is odd considering how cordial I have been to you since I apologized for saying that you did not respect the perfection of the female body.
I don't get you Leftychris, what exactly is your agenda?
You know mine. I want to take trolls, insensitive pigs, date rape enablers, false accusation fear mongers, paranoid freaks, and general disgrace to men characters to task.
I'm a feminist because of people like you. The world is beautiful, but people like you stand in the way of progress with your ugly destructive behavior.
To me, Breastfeeding is what it has always been, a means for a mother to feed her child, and unlike you, I realize that a mother can't always predict when she is going to have to feed her child (in fact most mothers never know when they are going to have to feed).
Breastfeeding is a part of nature, and I love nature, so that is why I am never, ever, going to bother a breastfeeding mother. And I would fire anyone who worked for me that did.
Restaurant chains like Applebee's tailor their services to entice families. It's cheap food, they have child meals, semi-secluded booths, and their staffs are trained to deal with child issues such as offering crayons and coloring place mats, and pulling out buster chairs or high chairs if need be. If Applebee's gets a reputation for being hostile to families, then they are going to lose a lot of their business fast.
Harassing breastfeeding mothers is being hostile to families, and I as a family man have decided that I aint going to Applebee's until they publicly apologize for what one of their staff members did.
And this isn't the first time Applebee's screwed up. As early as June 10th of this year they accidentally gave a toddler a cup of margarita mix, which made the toddler sick. But Applebee's apologized for the incident, and offer free meals and to pay for medical expenses.
Lets see if Applebee's apologizes for its latest screw up.
Boggles the mind doesn't it, AKA Smith? The obnoxious anonymous character has been throughly disgraced, and yet he continues to disgrace himself further.
Obnoxious anonymous is a sad pathetic waste of biological tissue, and a hindrance to everything that is beautiful in the world. It is so tragic that the world has produced someone like him.
To Obnoxious anonymous; you are wasting the world's precious breathable air and drinking water. Your very existence takes valuable resources away from our children. For the sake of humanity do something about yourself. Surely you know that the world will be much better off without you!
At the very least get some help.
I don't consider you an enemy, and I don't consider you a bad person. But I think you stand in the way of progress some times, especially when it comes to meaningful discussion, which is something that I consider beautiful.
Even it was a joke, Leftychris, your insult was pretty twisted. I wasn't hurt, but rather surprised that you had written something like that (it seemed beneath your character).
Word of advice; if you are going to throw some punches in letters to salon, stick to the narrative and stay concise, because if you go off topic or ramble on, then it just makes you look loony and desperate.
For the record I don't see you as a troll, insensitive pig, date rape enabler, paranoid freak, and/or general disgrace to men character, but from your earlier letters I think you are a bit of a false accusation fear monger (particularly in regard to male students thinking about teaching careers), and you are a bit insensitive at times, but that's probably because you live in America where a lot of insensitive behavior is considered acceptable. Word of advice; get out and see more of the rest of the world. You will be surprised to see how the majority of people in this world behave. I became a Buddhist when I saw how destructive Christianity is compared to Buddhism (no I am not anti-Christian, just not a Christian, and I highly recommend visiting Thailand, Bhutan, Viet Nam, or Japan).
And, no, I don't have a problem with men (I am one), just with their destructive behavior.
Actually I was greatly impressed by your answer, and you gave a lot of good insight.
And I agree with you, attitude and confidence are the main determining factors as to whether a dress (or suit) can be worked. Believing that you could work that dress you were interested in, shows that you possess a good attitude and a lot of confidence, and confidence and good attitude is very attractive.;)
And yeah, I agree with you, I would change the hat to a parasol.
